History doesn’t have to be dry – especially when you’re right in the middle of it. On this city tour for elementary school classes, students discover Munich’s history where it actually happened: outdoors, among old walls, large churches, and exciting stories from the Middle Ages.

Starting at Marienplatz, the tour takes you on a journey back in time to the city’s founding: why Munich is actually called “Munich,” who was in charge here, and how loud, crowded, and busy it was in the Middle Ages. At the Taltor gate, it becomes clear why city walls were so important back then. The tour continues via Metzgerzeile to St. Peter’s Church and the Old Court, where the dukes resided. The “leap” to the Residenz is also a leap in time to the HSU topic of King Ludwig I.
The tour ends at the Frauenkirche, where children can marvel at towers, legends, and great buildings.

The tour is a mixture of things already learned at school and new experiences in the city. And with a little luck—and the right timing—we’ll make it to the carillon at City Hall afterwards.

The tour is child-friendly, lively, and with plenty of room for questions, laughter, and moments of discovery. Instead of theory, there are stories, comparisons to modern life, and lots of movement. And along the way, the children realize that history is actually quite exciting if you keep your eyes open.

Ideal for school classes, especially elementary school kids, who want to learn AND have fun at the same time.
