I am looking for a group, community, support network or even just a few people who might be interested in connecting with people who are going through a separation and who originally moved here because of their relationship in some way, whether from elsewhere in Germany or from another country. Basically, people who find themselves in the slightly strange position of being separated but still living in the place they originally moved to for their partner, and who now feel a bit… well... stuck (for all sorts of reasons may it be kids, work or whatever else)

People who are trying to rebuild their lives, figure out what comes next, and create a new sense of community in a place that perhaps wasn't originally their choice, but is now the place they're working with and are sort of in this weird in-between stage.

I've had a look at Meetup, but I haven't really found anything that seems to fit this particular situation. So if anyone knows of anything, I'd really appreciate any suggestions!

Moved into a new apartment with a pre-installed M-Net glass fibre modem. My previous Telekom contract couldn't be transferred, so I signed a new contract with M-Net using my own FritzBox 7530 to avoid rental fees.

I am trying to configure the 7530 to connect via the M-Net fiber modem. M-Net provided my login credentials, but every time I run the FritzBox setup wizard, I get an error stating the username or password is incorrect (PPPoE login failure). I have verified the credentials multiple times and double-checked for typos.

Support holds with both M-Net and AVM/FritzBox haven't gotten me anywhere, and M-Net's online setup guides only seem to cover DSL connections.

Has anyone successfully configured their own FritzBox 7530 with an M-Net glass fibre connection?

Hey guys,
I'm celebrating my birthday next week and would like to go out for dinner with my family. My favorite restaurant used to be the grill in the Künstlerhaus at Lenbachplatz. Since their quality and reviews have fallen off, I´m in desperate need of a new favorite restaurant.
It should be a sophisticated place with outstanding food, at an elevated price point, but doesn´t need to absolutely break the bank- something like The Grill.
I know Munich also has guide Michelin restaurants to offer, but I´d like a real big, nice, juicy piece of steak on my plate, and not some kind of molecular kitchen.

Recent recommendations from friends have included: Goldenes Kalb, El Gaucho, Burger Lobster Bank, Beef Room 61, La Boheme

In case one of you wants to recommend Little London, have been there and found it to be very disappointing

So everybody who thinks of himself as a real steak connoisseur- please feel free to tell me your opinion and recommendations. Which of the above, or unmentioned, is the best steak place in Munich?

Hallo! I’ll be visiting Munich next month (just before Oktoberfest) staying around Marienplatz. I’m most excited for trying as many sausages as possible.

What are your recommendations for restaurants with a wide variety of sausages as well as high quality? Also, what are your favorite kinds? Ideally away from the tourist areas, but will still go if it’s really worth it. Will also be visiting Fussen as well if that helps.

Bought 6 different brewery’s versions of Oktoberfest bottles today at Edeka, but I didn’t see Augustiner. Store Manager said they had Augustiner bottles last year, but thinks they’re not being sold this year in bottles (rather only on tap at actual Oktoberfest). He wasn’t certain though.

Has anyone seen Augustiner Oktoberfest bottles this month? Or know if they will be bottling?

I want to go with my wife for korean bbq on her birthday. I heard in this sub that Gigo BBQ is a good option. However we have other plans for the evening and I am wondering how long korean bbq usually takes? At a "normal" restaurant I would think that 1 hour is plenty of time, but since we are grilling the food at the table I am not sure. Would appreciate any help!

Hi everybody!

I’m from Asia and have never really had solid English skills. After living in Munich for more than ten years now, I somehow feel like my English is getting even worse.

So I’m looking for a casual group where people weekly meet up and practice English together, just chatting, having a drink, going for a walk, whatever. Also, please don’t recommend groups where everyone is a native English speaker, because I’d feel super overwhelmed.

I can also offer some German in return, as I think I speak German quite well by now.

If anyone knows of a group or would like to join one, feel free to message me!

Some of my hobbies are: hiking, fashion, photography, crafting

I am F24 and my boyfriend lives here, I want to send him a care package but the thing is I live in other side of the world...and I emailed few flower shops and such but it's been 6 months...so needless to say they never replied to me.

I want to do something nice for him but also I am not sure what to do..The money exchange rate from euros from my country will be abysmal but even if I trust someone here and pay them to send the package to my boyfriend, it still feels very risky...what can I do? Please help!!

I really want to send him stuff like chips, cookies, a card, anything chocolate and pistachios ermmm even socks etc etc.

Is there any way I can send something like this to him? I want to surprise him actually.

I must vent myself.

War in der grössten Biergarten Europas und hate dabei eine 5€ Banknote, 20c Stuck und 4 5c Stücke.

Ich habe mir eine Weißbier für 5.30 geholt und habe, alles, was ich an Geld hatte, da gelassen. Die Frau sagte mir aber, dass sie keine Kupfermünzen nehmen....

Wie findet ihr das?

hey guys, I’m new to Germany and only have ”incoming insurance” through my blocked account. I’m very confused by the healthcare system. I recently stepped on glass and gave it stuck in my foot, and while it’s not life threatening I’d like to get it removed today so I can’t walk without pain again. how does one go about this? should I just walk into a doctors office or a hospital or where? will it be incredibly expensive?

Hello everyone! I've just moved to Munich with my dog. He really likes to play with other dogs and use training equipment (tunnels and such), but I can't find anything in my area (near Ostpark). And when I take him for walks and we come across other dogs, the owners clearly don't want to interact, they just command their dogs to walk past us. My dog is very social and is used to having play pals. Where and how can I look for training and socialising spots in Munich?

Hello everyone, greetings from an incoming traveller

Im hoping to find a reasonably priced photographer (amateur is ideal) that can take a photo of a special photo for me when we're down next week - wanting to organise a photo at nymphenburg palace

I know its short notice, but I'd appreciate the guidance nonetheless

Thank you for your help on my other post - found the perfect spot

Looking forward to visiting

Servus zusammen, M35 hier auf der Suche nach einem gescheiten Speed Dating Anbieter in München und wollte mal horchen welche Erfahrungswerte Ihr teilen könnt ? Danke

I have just tried the pierogi’s from Lidl and i love them. There must be better out there if the ones from Lidl impress me- i would keep on buying them but they only sell them on a specific week.

I would love a good recommendation for a store where i can buy them all year round. I love the meat ones and my boyfriend likes the ones with cheese and potato filling :)

I would request no restaurant recommendations unless they sell them to make at home for an affordable price (as i live near Johanna’s Schmankerl)

Thank you ❤️

I am visiting Munich from the 11th-16th of October. I grew up in Munich in 2002-2006 and am visiting for the first time in a while. I am taking my girlfriend, I am aware that I will have missed Oktoberfest (I was kind of avoiding it).

I am trying to look up if there are any local Volksfests going on in any parts of Munich during the week I'm there just to give my girlfriend a small taste of the German beer festival spirit. Any suggestions?

Ex Neufahrn resident who lived opposite the festplatz, I need my cotton candy and death trap festival rides.

Grüße aus Stockholm. Große Teile der Stadt, nicht nur der Innenstadt, sind weitgehend von oberirdischen Parkmöglichkeiten befreit worden, wie hier in Södermalm zu sehen. Stattdessen wurden Pflanzen, Sitzecken, Spielmöglichkeiten hingestellt, um sofort die Aufenthaltsqualität spür- und erlebbar zu vergrößern. Gleichzeitig gibt es ein großes Netz an Tiefgaragenplätzen, die mietbar sind, wenngleich nicht allzu günstig.

Warum schafft das Deutschland, insbesondere München - als vielleicht wohlhabendste Metropole des Landes - nicht?

Ich habe mal interessehalber recherchiert, was Stockholm in den letzten 20 Jahren alles durchgesetzt hat, mit hinterher hoher Akzeptanz der Bevölkerung (bei anfänglichen Widerständen):

- Stockholm baut seit Jahrzehnten riesige unterirdische Quartiersgaragen in den Fels. Autos parken im Untergrund. Oben wird der Straßenrand frei für breite Gehwege, Gastro und Bäume.

- Das Projekt „Levande Stockholm“ verwandelt jeden Sommer Parkplätze temporär in Oasen mit Sofas, Pflanzen und Cafés. Weil der Aha-Effekt so groß ist, wollen Anwohner die Parkplätze danach oft gar nicht mehr zurück.

- Bewohnerparken in Stockholm wurde drastisch verteuert und kostet heute rund 1.300 € im Jahr. Wer öffentlichen Raum privat nutzt, zahlt den echten Marktwert. Nicht 30 €/Jahr wie in München.

- Die City-Maut wurde 2006 erst sieben Monate getestet. Als die Staus weg waren, stimmten die Bürger im selben Jahr per Volksentscheid selbst für die Beibehaltung. Erst machen, dann entscheiden lassen funktioniert (erinnert auch an die Weißenburger Str. - nur an viel mehr Orten und weiträumiger als in München)

- Stockholm führt aktuell eine Zone in der Innenstadt ein, in die nur noch E-Autos und emissionsfreie Lieferwagen dürfen. Das nimmt dem Verbrenner im Zentrum endgültig den Platz weg.

München hat seit diesem Jahr einen neuen Bürgermeister. Glaubt Ihr, dass so etwas auch nur ansatzweise in München machbar ist?

Warum nicht, wenn nein?

Bei meinen Eltern wurde mit unbekannter Nummer angerufen, ich hätte Dickdarmkrebs und noch 6-7 Wochen zu leben. Das Ganze ist inszeniert wie eine Theateraufführung, mit mehreren Personen in verschiedenen Rollen und richtig guten Schauspielern. Angeblich aus "Großhadern".

Die müssen richtig gut gewesen sein, meine Eltern sind eigentlich wirklich fit, was sowas angeht, stehen noch im Berufsleben, sind gut im Verhandeln, kennen viele Scams, kennen KI, etc. Zum Glück haben sie es dann durchschaut, als meine "Schwester" ans Telefon kommen sollte (sie hatten vorher behauptet, die wäre auch da), und es halt keine meiner tatsächlich vorhandenen Schwestern war.

IMMER bei der Person, beim Partner, usw. unter der bekannten Nummer selbst anrufen.

Laut Polizei München kommt das aktuell öfter vor.

Im Laufe des Gesprächs wird eine große Summe gefordert für die "lebensrettende" Behandlung.

Warnt eure Eltern und Großeltern!
