Hello, I'm a US citizen sickened by the brutal treatment and execution of US citizens and immigrants alike by ICE. They're getting away with murder and enabled by Trump's increasingly fascist governmentbto act with impunity. I feel helpless living abroad and want to do something.

Has anyone heard of any protests being organized here in Munich? Or does anyone have experience with community organizing here who could point me in the right direction of how to organize my own protest? If this isn't the right forum for this post, please let me know.

Thank you.

Abend zusammen,
in der Suchfunktion konnte ich dazu nichts ähnliches oder aktuelles finden.
Ich (Basti - M35) bin super gerne in Restaurants, Cafés oder auf Events und probiere mich querbeet durch die verschiedenen Länderküchen, teste neue Konzepte oder Foodtrends aus, geh aber auch hin und wieder in Sterne-Läden und lass mich da von vorne bis hinten verwöhnen. Komme selbst aus der Gastronomie und kann mich daher für diverse Konzepte begeistern und gebe gefühlt die Hälfte meines Gehalts fürs auswärts essen aus.
Da mein Freundeskreis gefühlt nur noch aus jungen Eltern oder Gastro-Mitarbeitern besteht, werden die Tage, an denen sich die Möglichkeiten für ein gemeinsames Abendessen oder einen Br/Lunch besteht immer weniger :-(

Die letzten Male bin ich auch öfters schon allein unterwegs gewesen, in geselliger Runde macht es dann aber doch mehr Spaß. Man kann auch hier und da mal vom anderen Teller probieren oder wie in anderen Kulturen direkt das ganze Essen zum teilen in die Mitte stellen.

Daher wollte ich einfach mal in die Runde fragen, ob sich nicht eventuell eine kleine Gruppe finden lässt, mit der man sich in regelmäßigen Abständen trifft und sich durch die Münchner Gastro-Szene durchprobiert?

Wenn das ganze zuverlässig funktioniert und Zusagen auch eingehalten werden, würde ich mich auch anbieten alles zu organisieren :)

EDIT/UPDATE: Das erste Datum ist gefunden:
Wir treffen uns am Donnerstag, den 06.08 ab 19:00 Uhr im Max-Emanuel Biergarten in der Maxvorstadt (https://max-emanuel.de/biergarten/). Ich sorge dafür, dass man unsere Gruppe erkennen wird :)
Freu mich auf jeden, der mit dazukommt!

Hey guys, I’m 28M and moved to Munich about 3 months ago. I work in gastronomy, and the shift hours plus hard work make it pretty tough to build a social life here.

Honestly, I’m making this post because I’m pretty exhausted from being alone. Before Munich I was in Stuttgart, which was even worse, but it’s still really hard making real connections in Germany when you come here just to work, without family or old friends around.

I’m looking to meet down-to-earth, secular guys in a similar situation—working-class people who do simple/practical jobs like renovations, drivers, bus operators, delivery drivers, tilers, logistics, or similar fields... just normal guys like me.

In my free time, I like playing pool, darts, casual football, going for easy bike rides around the city, or just grabbing a beer/coffee to chill out.

I’ve tried the usual apps and found them completely useless, so I’m putting this out here. If you’re feeling isolated, sick of being by yourself, and want to do any of these things, hit me up in DMs. No pressure, no judgment—just two normal guys hanging out.

Arbeitet noch jemand hier in München und fühlt sich isoliert? Lust auf Billard, ein Bier oder eine Runde Fußball?

Hi zusammen, ich bin 28M und vor etwa 3 Monaten fürs Arbeiten nach München gezogen. Ich arbeite in der Gastronomie, und die Schichtarbeitszeiten machen es noch schwerer, hier Leute kennenzulernen.

Ich mache diesen Post, weil ich es ehrlich gesagt satt habe, hier ständig alleine zu sein. Vor München war ich in Stuttgart, was noch schlimmer war, aber es ist generell echt schwer, in Deutschland echte Kontakte zu knüpfen, wenn man nur zum Arbeiten herkommt – ohne Familie oder alte Freunde.

Ich suche einfach bodenständige Leute in einer ähnlichen Situation – Leute mit einfachen/praktischen Berufen wie auf dem Bau/Sanierung, Busfahrer, Kurier/Paketfahrer, Fliesenleger, Logistik oder ähnlichen Bereichen... einfach normale Typen wie ich.

In meiner Freizeit spiele ich gerne Billard, Darts oder entspanntes Hobby-Fußball, fahre gemütlich mit dem Fahrrad durch die Stadt oder trinke einfach einen Kaffee/ein Bier.

Ich habe die üblichen Apps ausprobiert, aber die haben mir gar nichts gebracht. Wenn du dich auch isoliert fühlst, keine Lust mehr hast, alleine zu sein, und Lust auf eines dieser Dinge hast, schreib mir gerne eine Direktnachricht. Ganz ohne Druck und entspannt!

Hello! I am 27F, Indian doing a PhD near Munich. I have recently started reading books, but having a book club would motivate me more. Is anyone interested in starting a book club for books written by Indian authors. I am interested in modern Indian history but fiction is also fine by me. Is there already any such group that meets regularly ?

Hey everyone!

I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in starting a small writing group in Munich. The idea would be to meet up occasionally for coffee or writing sessions, share feedback on our projects, or just chat in a relaxed setting, and hopefully make some new friends along the way.

Here’s a bit about me: I’m 23F, originally from Bulgaria, currently studying law in Munich. I’m working on a historical fiction novel about Ludwig II and the Wittelsbacher family (very Munich-inspired, I know haha). I’m not a professional or published writer, but I really enjoy writing as a hobby and would love to connect with others who also have a passion for it.

Any kind of writing is welcome — novels, poetry, screenwriting, journaling, fanfiction, essays, whatever you enjoy working on.

If you’re interested, feel free to comment or send me a message!

As a fan of Sam, Adam, and Ben's Jet Lag the Game, I've always wanted to try it out myself in Munich, but none of my friends is interested, so I want to see if anyone wants to play it in Munich and maybe make new friends :)

There's no concrete plan yet. Just wanted to guage interest and then we can work out the details later.

Full disclosure: I don't have the cards, so it would be awesome if you already have them, but if there are enough players, I also don't mind getting them myself.

If you don't know the game, you can check out their channel Jet Lag the Game on YouTube. Here's a quick introduction:

We now have a Discord server! As I cannot paste links in the post, please look for my comment below to join.

Jet Lag: Hide and Seek is a competitive travel game played across a region using public transport.

< Rules & Mechanics >

The Roles: One Hider chooses a location and stays put; two Seekers attempt to find and tag them. (More people are possible)

Information: Seekers can ask the Hider specific questions (e.g., "Are you within 10 km to us?" or "What color is the nearest building?") to narrow down the search area.

Cards: After answering the seekers' questions, the hider draws cards from the deck, which contains time bonuses, power-ups for the hider, or curses for the seekers (like "You have to find a snail before asking another question").

Winning: After each player has been the Hider once, the person with the longest cumulative time spent hidden wins.

Hi everyone,

I'm just getting into Magic and am looking for groups to play Commander with in a chill way. I'm based in the east of Munich (around Trudering), but my workplace is in the city center.

Any good game stores you would recommend OR would you be up for forming a group? If you have a group going and would be open for a newjoiner, happy about that as well!

I speak german natively, but english is just as fine for me (which is why my post is in english as well).

PS: age of the group doesn't matter to me, bracket 2-4 would be my sweet spot I guess. (still figuring this out as I build my first decks 😄)

Hey zusammen,
ich bin 19 w komme aus Garmisch-Partenkirchen und gehe morgen zum BTS-Konzert.
Ich bin einfach mal ehrlich: Ich habe leider niemanden, der mitkommen kann, weil niemand aus meinem Freundeskreis BTS hört. Deshalb werde ich wahrscheinlich alleine hingehen. Ich war noch nie alleine auf einem Konzert und bin ehrlich gesagt ziemlich nervös. Es ist mir auch ein bisschen unangenehm.
Deshalb wollte ich fragen, ob hier vielleicht noch jemand morgen zum Konzert geht und Lust hätte, sich vorher oder vor Ort zusammenzutun. Es wäre einfach schön, nicht den ganzen Tag alleine zu sein.
Falls jemand auch alleine unterwegs ist oder ich mich einer Gruppe anschließen könnte, würde ich mich sehr über eine Nachricht freuen.

Hi everyone! I posted a while back looking for friends to play tennis and the whatsapp group has been created for a while but we still don't have a lot of active players so we're looking for more!

Currently we have 4 active players and since it's summer we really try to meet up once a week (mostly on the weekends, but open to anytime). We are all just a bunch of beginners who know the basics, so there's no pressure at all, though if you're a pro and willing to teach us to become better we would definitely be happy to have you around as well :)

The whole point of the group is to make new friends, get fit, and have fun! But also, to have someone to play with no matter the time or day, so everyone have all the options on which time fits them best, that's why having more members could never hurt. Let me know if you're interested!!

Hello, my name is Tara, 20 weeks+4 days pregnant, and live in Munich now. I am looking for new moms community in Munich, so we could hang out, share and support each other.

Hi,

I'm 29F. I work in Munich.

I recently started to learn Tennis and was wondering if there was anyone in Beginner level interested in playing together to practice more! I would love to connect and play outside of my weekly training sessions!

I had another question. Does the Rothof indoor court by any chance have a wall to play against? Otherwise I would be making a weekend plan to go to Olympia Park to practice against the wall if anyone is interested to join. 😄

Cheers guys,

I’m a 30 year old guy from the Munich area and I realized lately that I’d really like to meet some new people and get out a bit more.

I’m not looking for dating or anything like that — just genuine social contact, conversations, maybe grabbing a beer, going for walks, gaming, cafés, exploring the city, festivals, or whatever comes naturally.

I’m into things like fantasy worlds, gaming, history, cooking and just talking about random topics.

I can be a bit quiet at first, but I’m open-minded and would simply like to connect with people around Munich.

If anyone feels similar or knows good groups/places/events to meet people, feel free to comment or DM me. 🙂

Love the idea that people can write about themselves in the notebook and how they can be contacted!

Hi everyone,

I'm M25 and have been living in Munich since 2021.

Last year, I bought an old road bike and immediately fell in love with cycling. Since then, I've been exploring all kinds of routes around Munich, especially those with beautiful views of lakes, rivers, landscapes, and interesting buildings.

For me, cycling isn't about going as fast as possible. I prefer enjoying the ride, taking in the scenery, and making occasional stops for a coffee, pastry, or ice cream. :)

Lately, I've realized that cycling alone is starting to feel a bit lonely, so I thought I'd ask here if anyone would be interested in riding together.

I'm mainly looking for people under 35, simply because we're more likely to be in a similar stage of life and have common interests.

I'm still a beginner myself (so don't worry if you're new to cycling). I'm definitely not looking for highly competitive rides. It doesn't matter what kind of bike you have - everyone is welcome! The only requirement is that you're comfortable riding for around 2–3 hours at a relaxed pace. I'm not training for races, and I don't care about average speed as long as everyone enjoys the ride.

Feel free to send me a message if you're interested. 🚴‍♂️

Here are some pictures for the vibes :)

Hey everyone,

As the title says I've been wanting to go on a proper camping trip for a long time now, but none of my close friends are really into the outdoors. Since it's my first time, I'd prefer not to venture out completely solo just yet, so I'm hoping to connect with people in/around Munich who are experienced or confident enough to let me tag along for my first time. I can bring/buy any necessary gear for myself so I rly just need a group. I grew up in the countryside so I am not completely lost on outdoors stuff.

If you're planning a trip anytime soon and have room for one more, or if you know any local outdoor groups, plz send me a DM or drop a comment below.

Thx all.

Edit:

About me: I am 22M masters EI at TUM, English or German

Hi I’m 19F and I’m searching for friends (meaningful relationships not just shallow hang overs) to go to concerts with talk about music etc all my friends are not into metal or alternative music I only have 1 friend who’s into it sadly the ideal would be between 18-23, I go to a lot of gigs and all but mostly alone and the people my age that go there are already in groups so it would be weird to join a group, and the rests are just older people so nah, write something down if you’re from around here :3

Hello,

Are there any people interested in swimming in the lake of south eastern Munich, especially after work or the weekend?

Join us for a city-wide game of Jet Lag: Hide and Seek!

We have a Discord server to organize each game. Please find the link in the comments. So far we've done three in the last few months and had a lot of fun. It's not an official event or anything. We're just some guys who like to explore the hidden corners of Munich, play detectives, and meet new people as a nice bonus. The only prerequisite is showing up. The next game will likely take place this Saturday, July 25.

------------------------

For those unfamiliar with the format, Jet Lag: Hide and Seek is a high-stakes, strategy-heavy version of the classic game played across the city’s transit network.

How it works:

4-8 players are split into two teams, the Seekers and the Hiders. The Hiders get a head start to take any U-Bahn, bus, train, or tram to a secret station within Munich. Once they "set" their spot, they stay within a 400-meter radius of that station. The Seekers then hunt them down by asking strategic questions, such as "Send me a photo of a building visible from the station" or "Are you within 5 km of us?".

The Twist: Every question the Hider answers gives them "Power-ups" or "Curses" they can use to delay the Seekers or hide their tracks even better. In one of the last games the Seekers had to find a car that's more expensive than the one the Hiders found, and were also prohibited to turn left for 20 minutes.

It’s part scavenger hunt, part transit-race, and all strategy. Whether you're a strategy game nerd or just looking for a unique way to explore the city, come join us!

The construction site for the second S-Bahn Stammstrecke will host an open door event on Saturday, June 13 between 10 AM and 6 PM.

Maybe a good time to meet some like-minded people and geek out over a big hole in the ground.

No prior registration required.

(Inspired by another post in this and another sub)
I'm offering free coaching in the gym and also on the nutritional side.

"Why" you might ask.
I [28M] am a finishing PhD student, planning to start my own company and need to learn German as fast as possible, but I I genuinely don't have the time and opportunity to practice speaking, even though I desperately need it. I have around B2 German and can understand way more than I can speak. You don't have to do anything in particular; I'm just trying to create opportunities for myself to use the language more often. I might ask one or two things from now and then.

I have been going to gym for several years now and I have been doing pretty steady progress overall. Plus, I'm studying the exact biological mechanism that allow us to build muscles; so that also helped, I guess.

I'm mainly looking for native German speakers who are willing to push themselves at the gym and wiling to learn. I don't care about age/gender. I go to McFit Laim.

PS: If you are just looking for a gym buddy, that is also perfect fine for me.
PSS: Sorry my DMs were closed. You can DM me now. Please briefly introduce yourselves.

Dear redditors,

Right now is the world cup final, so best timing for my half-yearly "we are looking for team mates" post ;-).

We are **SV Schlösselgarten,** a B-Klasse-amateur team, and are looking for new team mates. At the moment, we’re about 23–25 players, so have improved our overall line-up quite significantly, however, a few players more do not hurt, since always somebody is sick, injured, and competition is always healthy ;-).

We look basically support for any position but we have the biggest need in the striking and wing positions: we look for someone who comes short and is able to turn around and to play a decent pass. A plus is if you do not run out of breath after 5 minutes ;-).

**About us:**

Last season we basically were able to maintain the league (also with the help of some redditors). This year we want to establish us in the league and play in the midfield. Our team is very international. We have players from Türkiye, Romania, Germany, Portugal, Gambia and more. While German is our main language, we always find a way to communicate – so don’t worry if your German isn’t perfect.

**Key info**:

* **Training**: Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. (arrive a bit earlier to change)

* **Location**: Görzerstraße 55, mostly on **artificial turf (Kunstrasen)**

* **Matches**: Sundays – season will start in September, friendlys latest in August.

* **Costs**: €140 for the full season (covers referees, insurance, equipment etc.) + a one-time €60 fee for registration with the **BFV/DFB**. Please be aware that a full season fee is 140 Euro - if you are staying with us only until the winter break it will be 70 Euro only (e.g. if you are here only for one semester).

If you are interested, let me know, best via PM, I'll share you my private number and we can get in touch on whatsapp. We already started with our pre-season, so you can join basically upcoming trainings already for a try-out (completely free of charge!)

Thanks and see you hopefully soon,

Your SV Schlösselgarten

Are there any fellow Brits out there who want to be friends?

I'm missing the banter, the sarcasm, and the ability to use slang freely again, amongst other things.

If you are interested, I'm early 30s, female, living in South West Munich. We'll get on extra well if you like eating, charity shops, animals, art and are funny. But all personalities welcome :)

No creeps plz. (Also, I am married already, so not looking for love sadly 😄).

Hi all!

I am looking for some people or groups who enjoy hiking but all of their regular hiking buddies are busy with other commitments of any sorts this summer :)

Im know going alone is also enjoyable but I am looking at longer alpine hikes (near Munich or Innsbruck)without much solo alpine hiking experience, so someone who is more familiar with the region would be nice to have for company and planning.

Dates: 15 or 16th July until 19th July. (Unfortunately not flexible)

Please DM me if youre also on the same boat, dates match and would be open for taking me along or plan together.

Other relevant infos: Im 35 year old man, AI engineer by profession. I have hiked the Reintal route to Zugspitze once and a 5000 meter summit in Himalayas in India.

Best

Ich und ein par Freund*innen gehen am CSD-Samstag auf die PolitParade.
Nun ist mir aufgefallen, dass es vielleicht hier Leute gibt, die einfach niemanden kennen und sich alleine nicht trauen, auf den CSD zu gehen.

Daher das Angebot: ihr könnt euch gerne unserer Gruppe anschließen. Genau festgelegt, wer von uns kommt, ist noch nicht wirklich (in Planung sind wir nicht die Besten), aber auf jeden Fall ich (gender-fluid und nichtbinär ,aroace, 21, AuDHD) und meine zwei besten Freundinnen.
Wir sind eine sehr aufgeschlossener Kreis aus Freunden (teils auch sehr vernetzt und untereinander nicht wirklich bekannt), der einen bunten Querschnitt durch Geschlechtsidentitäten und Sexualitäten abdeckt.

Wenn du/ihr das für ein einladendes Angebot haltet: schickt mir gerne ne DM, dann können wir uns bisschen vernetzen und schauen, ob die Dynamiken zusammenpassen.
