What is the purpose of these platforms I see sometimes in Munich?

Likely not a Munich-specific thing but I'll ask here anyway. I see these platforms attached to the top windows of houses sometimes - what are they for? Escape in case of fire etc? Not every house has one though so I'm not sure about my theory

Looking for Family Law Attorney in Greater Munich Area.

My mother-in-law resides near Munich and is in need of legal assistance with a complex situation involving her husband. His health is in decline, and his family appears to be attempting to redirect her continued spousal support for themselves. My wife and I are located in the United States and are searching for a family law attorney familiar with German law. Ideally, the attorney would speak English, as this would allow us to better assist in financing and navigating this issue on her behalf.

We've reached out to a few firms, but either have not received responses or have been met with minimal engagement, which I suspect may be due to the English language requirement. The firms we have contacted so far include:

  • Schreiber Law Office
  • Anwalt
  • Rose & Partner
  • A few direct messages on LinkedIn

We are hoping to find a reliable resource or recommendations for lawyers who might be a good fit for this scenario. Does anyone in this group have suggestions or advice?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Umzug Muc

Hi, ich bin Augenoptikermeisterin und lebe derzeit in Österreich. Gibt es hier vielleicht Leute aus der selben Branche die mir eventuell etwas Klarheit über die Gehälter in Muc geben können? Mit was kann man denn rechnen bzw was darf man verlangen. Rentiert sich ein Umzug überhaupt mit meinem Job bzgl. Lebenserhaltungskosten etc.. (i know münchen ist teuer, but still) Dankbar für alle Tipps/Ratschläge 🙏🏻

Where do I get Contact lenses solution today (nov 1)

Hey everyone, I came to Munich for a visit and I left my contact lenses solution at home and I need to buy it today. Most of pharmacies are closed, are any places here where I can find a small bottle to buy today?? The one pharmacy I found opened only had a huge expensive bottle which I can’t bring home because I only have hand luggage. Do I have any other options?

Lost my wallet while riding a bike. What would be my chance to find it again if i trace my step back?

I lost my wallet while riding a shared bike from Ostbahnhof to Grünwald. I put it in my back pocket of my pants and I think it fell off while either pedaling or when there's a bump in the road.

Do you think I'll be able to find it back? and if i failed, what do you think i should do? I'm a student with a residence permit, so i wonder what should i do in the case that my wallet is not found?

Renting an apartment from Sparkasse

Hi all,

I recently had a viewing to an apartment in a building owned by Sparkasse Immobilien und Facility Management. I was wondering if there are any pros or cons to renting a place in that builiding compared to an independent landlord.

Any thoughts would really help?

P.S. I've been living in Munich for many years so I am well aware of the apartment situation here

Where to buy good Chorizo?

Any recommendations where I can buy good Chorizo in Munich? The ones that are sold at the supermarket are all pretty bad. Feinkost Lupper at Viktualienmarkt sells a good one, but the prices are pretty high and I rarely go to Viktualienmarkt. So I would appreciate any suggestions :) Preferably in the Schwabing/Maxvorstadt Area.

Halloween themed markets, outdoor venues appropriate for kids

Hi all,

My kid (10y old) is a huge Halloween enjoyer, he's in Munich today and I would really like to do some themed activities together. The problem is, almost all events are clubs/parties; do you know any day/evening places where a father/son could enjoy some time together? A market, outdoor venue?

Many thanks

Wie erlebt ihr die Kunstwelt Münchens?

Irgendwie ist jeglicher Versuch in die Münchener Kunstwelt reinzukommen immer gescheitert. Nicht mal als Kunstschaffenden sondern als Kunstinteressierter. Ich habe manchmal das Gefühl, dass die ganze Szene daraus besteht sich gegenseitig zu iwelchen Ausstellungen von einem selbst einzuladen und dabei ab und an einen Mate zu trinken. Vielleicht verstehe ich aber auch absolut nichts von Kunst. Wie nehmt ihr es wahr?

Anyone using a folding bike for daily commuting in Munich?

Hallo Hallo!

I'm thinking of getting a folding bike to make my everyday commute smoother, especially with the convenience of carrying it on the U-Bahn and S-Bahn.

If you use a folding bike for daily commuting in Munich:

How practical is it in the U-Bahn/S-Bahn during peak hours?

How easy is it to manage the bike when it’s folded – any issues with space or maneuvering?

Also, any recommendations for good folding bike brands? I know Brompton is highly recommended, but it seems quite pricey. Are there any other reliable (and more affordable) alternatives?

Would love to hear any tips, bike model recommendations, or just your overall experience! Thanks!

What’s going on with the barber shops?

Why does this treatwell thingy feel like applying for mortgage?

Why is it also showing salons that clearly have no available spots for the selected day and time?

Where are the head shave and beard trim combos? I don’t need a full on haircut and beard trim for 90 euro. I have no hair, hello?!

It is all so confusing. Don’t bald men go to barber shops in Munich? Anyone can recommend a good barber shop in Munich? Thank you.

Casual menswear shopping tip

I’ll be attending a casual beach wedding in a tropical setting soon and need to buy some suitable clothes (something like light and airy cotton - nice but casual - pants and shirt). I guess it’s exactly the wrong time of year to find something like this in Munich… by any chance does someone have a suggestion of a good place to look in the downtown area?

Has anyone had good experience with cat sitting services?

I need someone to look after my cat over the weekend and was wondering if anyone has previously used one of the online services where you select a person and pay per day. Unfortunately my friends are also not in town or working the entire day, so it‘s the first time I‘m looking into this.

I am always a bit anxious leaving my cat with people he and I don‘t know (even though he is the sweetest cat and never causes any problems) so I am looking for something trustworthy. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: It would be in the area Thalkirchen-Obersendling

Blood test without going to Hausarzt

Hi, is there any place in Munich or is it possible that I go to a laboratory directly to do a blood test?

I would like to avoid explaining to my Hausarzt every time why I want this and that tested and would just rather get the results directly. I know this way I would have to pay for the test myself but once every 3-4 months I can bear it. And I can send the results to the doctor in my home country for a online consultation.

If so, what information do I need to give to the lab, that what parameters I need measured? Is there a list somewhere?

I am just confused as to how it works. If someone has experience and can share then that would be great. Thanks.
