Munich cosiness: typical Feuerzangenbowle
The original Munich Feuerzangenbowle brings Bavarian cosiness into the winter time
Munich Feuerzangenbowle daily until January 6, 2025
Munich. Feuerzangenbowle. It is well-known, popular and part of the ceremony in the run-up to Christmas: the Munich Feuerzangenbowle! This winter we can no longer find it in the courtyard of the Isartor, because it has moved. Together with the kettle, rum and sugar loaf, we can find the Feuerzangenbowle between the Hochbunker and the Schrannenhalle behind the Viktualienmarkt (Blumenstraße 22) until January 6th. When the warm, reddish glow of the kettle fire blazes, a time of romance and cosiness begins every day. Until the new year, walkers can find a nice, hot cup of Feuerzangenbowle here. This delicious, warming drink comes from the copper cauldron of the Munich Druids. You have to try it in Munich in winter, this typical winter drink will stay in your memory!

From the original idea to the first glass of punch
At the beginning of the 2000s, Hartmut Senkel and Jan Oltznauer - two people from Munich - had the idea of a huge cauldron with Feuerzangenbowle. To this day it is reminiscent of Asterix and Obelix's cauldron, in which the druid brewed the magic potion. The two people from Munich had the hand-forged kettle constructed for the fireplace and the tap system. And the Munich Feuerzangenbowle was born! Basically: the Munich magic potion for the winter time!
The starting signal for the Feuerzangenbowle has been heard in Munich for ten years: “Burn off the Sugar Loaf!”. The local Feuerzangenbowle consists of many ingredients, including wine, rum, cinnamon, oranges and spices.
The scent of the punch is unique and you always look forward to the first sip when the space around the bowl is bathed in romantic light as darkness falls.
It is a winter drink that unifies and brings the people of Munich together. With this you can celebrate into the New Year.
The Munich Feuerzangenbowle for seniors - from the age of 66!
This winter we are meeting again for the Munich Feuerzangenbowle not far from the Viktualienmarkt. And everyone should be able to afford it: It's hard to believe that it gets cheaper here from the age of 66! Because there is even a senior cup for just 4 euros - upon proof of age.
Simultaneous exhibition “I’m at home, I’m here”
Together, the History Workshop Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt and the Munich District History Association have created an exhibition on the topic of migration. Many Munich families once immigrated. The exhibition shows images and texts about the history of immigration to Munich on a flat screen. The free exhibition will be on display at the warming Feuerzangenbowlen kettle until January 6, 2025.
