(WorldKings.org) Munich has celebrated its 850th birthday in 2008. What began as a monastery in the time of Henry the Lion in 1158 was Germany’s ‘unofficial capital’ until the Berlin Wall fell and is now its third-largest city. It’s become a hub of high technology, a cultural centre with more museums than any rival, and a gastronomic trailblazer, sparkling with Michelin stars.
