The children's travel guide to the history of Munich. In short, lively episodes, Volker Ufertinger narrates the most important events in Munich's history, explains the origins of its most prominent buildings, and the roots and significance of well-known Munich traditions. Children from Munich and beyond encounter interesting historical figures and learn to see the city from a different perspective. Munich is world-famous, thanks to FC Bayern and Oktoberfest. But Munich is much more than just football and festival fever. Through vivid stories, the city's 850-year history since its first documented mention in 1158 comes to life. They tell of the bold act that marked the beginning of the city's history, of rebellious citizens who complained not only at the designated complaint door, and of both secular and ecclesiastical lords.
