Hofbrauhaus Am Platzl

Whilst I was at BMW Museum in the morning, I received a text from a good friend, U Zyn, who suggested visiting this place.

I did go and I am glad I did. Didn’t realize the historical significance of this place.

The German Communist Party was founded here in 1919 and used this place as its headquarters.

The National Socialist Party, aka the Nazi Party, was born here in 1920 and Hitler was here at the inauguration of the Party. He delivered his 25 point plan for the Nazi Party here.

Lenin spent quite a bit of time here when he was living in exile in Munich before World War 1.

Mozart is said to have spent time here and cited this place as an inspiration for his opera Idomeneo.

This place was completely destroyed by the Allied bombing during World War 2 and it was then rebuilt in 1958.

I found the food just so so but the place was packed and bustling! I don’t think people come here for the food.
