Brand series in Munich: Investigations in the shadow of the election campaign!

München, Deutschland - The Munich news world does not remain still on July 8, 2025. There are both gratifying and worrying developments in the Bavarian capital. A highlight is certainly the success of Lukas Adebahr in the “1804 Hirschau” restaurant, which is currently huge waves. The talented cook was awarded a Michelin star for his "farm-to-table" concept, whereby the Löwenbräu festival hosts played a role in this triumph that should not be underestimated. This shows that regional products and creative kitchen approaches are very popular with the Munich team and the gastronomy offer is further enriched. [Süddeutsche] reports that Adebahr has been working in Hirschau since 2020 and convinced with his concept.

not every part of the city only radiates positive things. In the past few weeks, the security authorities have been under great pressure because a fire series in Munich assumes dangerous dimensions. A total of two investigative groups are in use to get to the bottom of this problem. A reward of 10,000 euros was suspended to receive relevant information. It is also frightening that it is not excluded that these incidents are placed in the context of hybrid warfare. [Fr] and [Merkur] report on the unrest that prevail in the city.

extremist attacks and political implications

The security situation is also further tightened by a number of extremist motivated attacks that shook Germany in recent months. The car attack in Munich was particularly tragic, where a mother and her two-year-old child died. These incidents force politics to focus more on migration, especially around the upcoming federal elections. So far, the investigation has also shown that there is a network of asylum seekers in connection with these attacks. The reporting of FR emphasizes that a large part of the perpetrators were helping to use their radicalization.

Hans-Jakob Schindler, director of the NGO Counter Extremism Project, warned that Russia could possibly try to stir up social faults in Germany. The risk that radicalizing material will be spread over the Internet is given. [Merkur] informed that Farhad N., the alleged perpetrator of the attack in Munich, came to Germany as a refugee and had been in society for a long time.

positive things from city history

In addition to the serious security questions, there is also good news. The former Karstadt Sport was rebuilt and now shines in new splendor. The renovation work brought some surprises from city history to light, which will certainly arouse the interest of the Munich. There was also a legal discussion in which Paulaner complains of Berentzen. The dispute that is in the room is about the alleged design copy of Paulaner's special bottles with a value in dispute of 250,000 euros.

Jonas Kaufmann, the native of Munich, also has a reason to be happy because he has become grandpa and can look forward to a granddaughter. Such personal milestones offer a welcome change from the dark headlines. In addition, cultural events such as the "pack singing" are pending on the Tollwood and the preparations of Harald Schmidt for the field theater, which invite the Munich to celebrate and experience community. The last cards for "Classical on Odeonsplatz" are also still available.

Another highlight is the 20th anniversary celebration of the "Midsummer Night's Dream" in the Olympiapark, where Max Giesinger will appear as a headliner.
