GERMANY: Munich

In German, Munich is called München, which means "Home of the Monks" and refers to its origins as a monastery founded around 750 CE.

A man from Munich is called a “Münchner”, and a woman from Munich is called a “Münchnerin”. 

I am not sure what kids from Munich are called, but the word “Munchkins” comes to my mind.

Munich is famous for its beer, their annual Oktoberfest celebrations and several of the largest breweries in Germany.

We’ll get back to beer and the breweries later.
