Learn about old Christmas traditions and winter stories from the city, with its Christkindlmarkt being one of the oldest Christmas markets in Germany. The market dates back to the 15th century and has been called "Christkindlesmarkt" since 1949. And to this day, it has lost none of its appeal. Discover the wide range of products on offer.

Max. number of participants: 15

Meeting point: U-Bahn station “Olympiazentrum”
In 1972, Munich hosted the 20th Summer Olympics and was thus the focus of the international sports world. The Olympic Park, with its iconic tent-roof silhouette and sports facilities, and the Olympic Village, which accommodates athletes, was built especially for the games. Both are prime examples of the successful reuse of an Olympic sports facility. While the park is used for local recreation, the stadiums are used for sporting events, concerts, and other exhibitions. The Olympic Village was transformed into a residential area and accommodation for students. Today, a total of around 6,000 people live here. We’ll also look out for the plaque at number 31 Conollystraße in the Olympic Village, commemorating the 5 September 1972 attack on the Israeli team during the Olympic Games that ended with the murder of all eleven Israeli hostages as well as a police officer. Our TUM Sports and Health Science Campus is also located in Olympic Park, one of Europe's most modern facilities for health and sports sciences.
