It was wonderful! Scenes from the Hamburg Fish Market in Munich (Deutsch)
Munich — Hamburg comes to Munich. Today, on Whit Monday, the flow of visitors was somewhat more subdued due to the 30-degree heat, yet the hosts expressed their satisfaction. The weather has been perfect over the past few days—and after all, Munich locals don't subsist solely on *Weißwurst*! With offerings ranging from fried fish, *Matjes* herring, and flame-grilled salmon to *Labskaus* and refreshing Jever beer, visitors can still experience the authentic spirit of Northern Germany right in the heart of Munich today, until 10 p.m. Amidst the harbor-style ambiance, Hamburg-themed music, and classic beer garden atmosphere, the fresh North Sea shrimp taste particularly delicious. It is a maritime getaway that sparks curiosity and allows one to truly feel the warmth of Hanseatic hospitality.

The poster featuring the Elbphilharmonie made us dream of Hamburg—and of the great ships in Hamburg Harbor that set sail from there to destinations all over the world.

The equestrian statue of Elector Maximilian I of Bavaria, towering above the fish stalls and Jever beer umbrellas of the fish market...
...located on Wittelsbacherplatz in Munich, was created by the sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen between 1830 and 1836.
Invitingly, the Jever beer tables—set in traditional North German style—line up festively side by side.
