A brewery beer hall owned by the Bavarian State government! The Staatliches Hofbräuhaus in Munich, was founded in 1589 by the Duke of Bavaria, Wilhelm V. It is one of Munich's oldest beer halls. On this History Stories Special, we take a look at the logistics behind the operation – every day it welcomes up to 35 thousand guests. Historically, beer halls were often the venues for political meetings. In 1920, Adolf Hitler announced the official program of the Nazi party there, today they sell three tonnes of beer every day. The Hofbräuhaus: a place full of history and full of stories.

    30 years ago, I met a Canadian couple at the hofbrtäüuhaus. We spend an enjoyable evening, chatting, drinking beer and soaking up the atmosphere. They were both goldsmiths and when we parted, they gave me a little golden tie pin to remember that day.

    One of the best places that I visited in Germany. The atmosphere of Hofbräuhaus is exciting and breathes history! When I stepped in for the first time was like I had to return to an old know house. I brought good rememberings from München (my favorite city in Germany), but the HB is my big remember! I will come back soon! Greetings from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!

    I went there on 22nd September 2009. 14 years hence I still can’t get enough of viewing videos on this. Watch every video about Hofbrau house and the Oktoberfest. ❤🍻🍺

    The biergarten in the summer is so relaxing and great people watching.

    When you walk in it's an instant smile that lasts for hours. The band is fantastic and the place goes crazy especially if "Country Roads" starts playing. Cheers!

    Was lucky enough to go here when I was stationed in Germany. It is like Oktoberfest every day. Definitely check it out if you ever get a chance!

    The Hofbrauhaus has to be declared world heritage site.

    I lived in Munich as an exchange student for 6 months and frequented this place. Great memories. Wish I'd paid a visit to the strip club haha. Also I stayed near the Olympia shopping centre and went there often - this was 2019, and I had no idea the shootings happened just three years prior.

    Without ever having been to München, I have definitely experienced the extension of this culture by attending the Germanfest celebration in Milwaukee, WI USA. Der Gemütlichkeit!🇩🇪👍

    I was born in Munich and raised in Hanau. My father was American and my mother was born in Esslingen.
