München

München (Munich) is the capital of Bavaria, in Germany. A huge village more than a megalopolis, it kept its strong traditional ties to the alpine heritage of the region as a whole, within the boundaries of the weißwurstäquator. It is also the birthplace of nazism, and was described for this reason by Thomas Mann as, not only a stupid city, but the stupid city. Nuremberg got the bad fame and Munich dodged the infamy, as few people would recognize today the Feldherrnhalle, the Hofbräuhaus Beer Hall, the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München (previously, the Führerbau), let alone Hitler's various flats in the city, as meaningful or even related sites for what would revolutionize the world as a whole.
