This is Munich's largest cemetery, opened in 1907, extended in the 1960s and is still in use, with over 60,000 burial plots. As the name "Wald" indicates, it's a woodland cemetery, with memorials and the funeral chapel semi-hidden in the trees rather than dominating a bare lawn. Those here include ace fighter pilot Hans von Ritter (1886-1917), Stepan Bandera (1909-59) whose status as a hero or right-wing terrorist changes with the Ukrainian political weather, Michael Ende (1929-95) author of The Neverending Story which never did end once film and TV got hold of it, Paul Heyse (1830-1914) winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, film director Leni Riefenstahl (1902-2003), artist Franz Stuck (1863-1928), Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz (1849-1930) and playwright Frank Wedekind (1864-1918).
The Munich Waldfriedhof is one of 29 cemeteries of Munich in Bavaria, Germany. It is one of the largest and most famous burial sites of the city, known for its park-like design and tombs of notable personalities. The Waldfriedhof is considered the first woodland cemetery.

This was built from 1715 for Elector Maximilian II Emanuel as a hunting lodge and bling-mansion. It's nowadays an RC spiritual centre, so other visitors can only admire the exterior and gardens. One who did so was Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger (b 1927), who found his vocation for the priesthood confirmed here, and became Pope Benedict XVI.
Culture and activity centre in a disused concrete factory. Activities (many free) include fitness classes, bouldering, basketball and skatepark. Culture includes film, concerts, theatre, art exhibitions and warehouse raves. There's also a beer garden. In summer it hosts Kollektivgarten 3000 electro music festival.
It was created in 1983 to host an International Garden Expo. It's divided by Garmischer Straße and most sights are in the western part: the Rose Garden, the lake with open-air stage for summer concerts and films, a couple of beer gardens (see Drink), and a few exhibits surviving from those shown at Expo. These are the Chinese walled garden, a Japanese garden, Nepali and Thai pagodas and a Bavarian chalet. The eastern part, ranged along the serpentine Mollsee lake, recreates the Alpine foothill landscape south of the city.
They're better known as a soccer club, but Bayern Munich also play in Basketball Bundesliga, the game's top tier. Their home court is Rudi-Sedlmayer-Halle, sponsored as Audi Dome. It seats 6700 and was built in 1972 for the Olympics.

This is a baroque structure of 1712, still in use. It was built on the site of the Sendling Massacre of 1705, which destroyed its predecessor. St Margaret or Marina supposedly lived near Isparta (now in Turkey) around 300 AD, and suffered fantastical tortures at the hands of the Roman governor and a dragon. Post mortem, she was always giving Joan of Arc good advice. Church indulgences (mitigation of punishments in the afterlife) were granted to those who read about her life and works, which fortunately you've just done.
