This years Christkindlmarkt

This years Munich Christkindlmarkt started early due to the 4th Advent falling on the 24th December. This is a traditional Christmas market, but it does lack the buzz other Christkindlmarkt’s have like Stuttgart and Hamburg.

Plenty of stalls selling Christmas decorations, grilled sausages and glühwein in Marienplatz and part of the pedestrian area towards Karlsplatz ( Stachus ) and the outdoor ice skating rink.

Here are some images taken on Friday 1st December.

Pity there was not enough snow to make it a really memorable day.

Christmastime at the Munich Kaufhof

 

Every year Kaufhof in the pedestrian area in Kaufinger Straße decorates their shop windows with animated toys. This is a big attraction, naturally for children but old and young alike.

The department store is a well known trusted brand in Germany.

The attraction is part of the Munich Christkindlmarkt but lasts until early January. See more images of the Christkindlmarkt

Munich updates include a new home page

I have a number of websites, and it can be difficult to update my very first website which came to life in 1996. In 25 years everything has changed including me.

The challenge is re-building the many pages to the new WordPress and security standards, checking the information and updating any links. This is really a work of love. Unfortunately I no-longer in Munich, but not that far away. The contact form has been temporary moved as I am unable to reply to requests for local information.

Old Munich information

Over 25 years there has been a wealth of information shown and then forgotten. Now I am try to bring back that information. Updating where necessary and include the new standards on security and format.
