If you’re planning to take the U1 or U2 this Thursday night, here’s a quick heads-up: there will be no stop at Kolumbusplatz in the direction of the main station from about 10pm until the end of service. The U1 heading towards the Olympia shopping center and the U2 towards Feldmoching will both be skipping Kolumbusplatz.

3 bits of news

Beat the heat

When the summer sun turns up the heat in Munich, we’ve got just the thing to help you keep your cool—literally. Introducing a brand-new interactive map of cool spots across the city.

Brought to you by the health department, this map isn’t just another boring city guide—it’s your go-to for finding shady parks, refreshing lakes, and even chill spots inside churches.

Oh, and don’t forget to stay hydrated! The map also highlights public drinking water fountains and toilets with drinking water dispensers.

Link to the map can be found here, and here are some tips for the summer (in German).

Weißenburger Straße goes car-free

Starting Monday, August 12, Weißenburger Straße in Au-Haidhausen is going car-free in a one-year test phase to see how we will enjoy a pedestrian paradise. 

The street has been transformed with planters and comfy seating. Cyclists and e-scooter riders can join the fun but must keep it slow—pedestrians have the right of way. Deliveries are allowed only during specific times, and those needing access for mobility reasons can apply for special permits.

This change is part of a test phase to see if turning Weißenburger Straße into a pedestrian haven can improve the area’s vibe and make it more enjoyable for everyone.

Surprise yourself 

Who doesn't love a good surprise? You've probably seen the mystery machines full of undeliverable packages that people can't get enough of. And guess what? The hype has finally hit Munich.

Now, nestled in the heart of the Pasing Arcadian, right on the ground floor near the food court, you'll find your very own MysteryBox machine. 

For just 15 euros, you can grab a package—big or small—and see what kind of treasure awaits inside.

Who knows? You might just stumble upon something amazing—or at least have a good laugh at the randomness of it all. Be sure to let us know what you find.

Looking for a job in Germany but can’t get one?

If you’ve applied for over 100 jobs and sent your CV to everyone, and you might have even gotten to the final round but didn’t make it, then this is for you.

It’s hard to get an English-speaking job in Germany: Too many expats compete for the same positions. This is why you need to apply to those who ARE hiring. This is the philosophy of Immigrant Spirit.

They teach you:

• How to find the managers behind the job offers, and how to connect with those managers in a way that makes sense in German business culture.

• How to get the decision maker on the phone.

• How to structure phone conversations in your favor; so you can discover the managers biggest challenge, and prove your ability to solve it.

• How to secure a job interview.

• How to structure a job interview so you take control.

• How to negotiate the best salary based on what you're worth.

There are only 8 spots per cohort, and only 6 spots are left. If you’re serious about getting a job in the next 3 months, this is worth an investment in your future.

Dig for your dinner 

Ready to get your hands dirty?

Forget the supermarket—this is how you get potatoes fresh from the field.

Just head over to Brodersenstraße, right at the corner of Kunihohstraße in Daglfing on the east side of Munich. There you’ll spot the potato field, where all the magic happens. 

But first, swing by the stand to grab your potato sack:

• Large bag (12.5 kg) for €13

• Small bag (5 kg) for €7

Then, head to the field where the tractors have already done most of the heavy lifting. All that’s left is for you to collect your chosen spuds and take them home.

Pro tip:

Don’t forget to bring cash. Unfortunately, card payments won’t fly in the field.
