Building the School Community

PTO COMMUNITYWELCOME

FROM THE PTO CHAIRThe Bavarian International School Parent-Teacher Organization e.V (PTO) would like to welcome all students, parents, and faculty to a new school year at BIS.

Our goals are to help everyone feel at home in the BIS Community and to encourage mutual support between faculty, parents/guardians, and students. We aim to enrich the overall educational and cultural experiences for students and families at BIS. The PTO objectives are:

· Facilitate Communication· Enhance the social network· Coordinate and host special events and clubs· Support the school· Have fun together

The PTO is run by volunteers (all parents of students) and participation in all PTO activities is most welcome! To learn more about the PTO, please feel free to contact us at [email protected].

This year the school intranet PTO Pages have been revamped and relaunched to improve communication and share information.

Information regarding PTO Events and activities is disseminated in one or more of the following ways:· Flyers and posters posted at school· Information sent home with your child· Through our PTO General Meetings· Posts on the BIS Intranet under the PTO Pages· Emails sent out directly to families by the Primary and Secondary School, the Secretary to the Director or by the PTO

Executive Board.

PTO Meetings are held on Wednesdays, usually once a month from 9:15am - 11:00am in the BIS Auditorium/ Cafeteria. Specific dates are listed on the next page and on the online school calendar.

The Parent Teacher Organisation (‘PTO’) of the Bavarian International School e.V.(‘BIS’) warmly welcomes you and your family to Munich, Germany.

We are a small group of parent volunteers who aim to build community and spirit among our wonderful international school community. BIS is a fantastic school, with an exceptional Leadership team, dedicated teaching staff and incredible administrative staff. There is always a person willing to help you. Please just ask.

At one time, each family in the school has been a new family. So we really do understand how difficult it can be to move to another country, and to not understand the language or the local systems and culture. We know that as parents you are supporting your children, and making the experience for them as easy as possible. They will cope well with your support. The reason we are here is for you.

Working along side us are a larger group of volunteer parents. They are the ‘Support Crew’. The Language representatives, Region representatives for the area in which you live and your Grade representatives are all great people to make contact with to help you understand the operation of the school and provide help as you settle in.

We are all here to help and make your transition as smooth as possible.

Thank you for choosing BIS, we are so glad you are here.

1794 He died without leaving any sons, so the H‘hausen property passed to the Counts Buttler of Haimhausen. 1862 Countess Vik-toria Buttler bought a manor house called Schönbrunn as an asylum and home for mentally and physically disabled people. This home is still in existence today.

1892 Because of financial difficulties Schloss Haimhausen was sold to James Eduard Haniel, a businessman from northern Ger-many. Under James Haniel the park around the manor house was restructured into an English style park.

1930’s The Schloss was no longer used as a family home, since it proved too expensive to maintain and heat. 1940-1945 During World War II the Schloss chapel housed books from the Bavarian State Library, stacked as high as the top level of the balcony! Under the books’ pressure most floor tiles broke and were later replaced.

1946-1949 The Bavarian Academie of Arts found a home in the Schloss, since its own build-ings had been destroyed during the war.

1949-1975 The Bavarian tax inspectors‘ school, the Bavarian Legal Aid School, and the Munich Police Academy had their home here.

1976-1986 The International Antiques Salon occupied all rooms with its period exhibits, giving a wonderful setting to antiques for sale to customers from all over Europe. 1983 The Schloss was sold by James Haniel to the artloving couple, Hans Daxer and Louise Piech. With immense investment and taste, they restored the buildings to their former glory. Both Schloss and Chapel required foundation work because of the 1.20 m water tables. Extensive interior and exterior restoration and renovation were completed.

1997 The Bavarian International School ac-quired the Schloss buildings and adjoining grounds. Within one year a three-story lower school building, a sports hall, and a pavilion were built.

Aug 1998 The School opened its doors for the first time in its new home: Schloss Haimhausen.

HISTORY OF SCHLOSS HAIMHAUSENOur Schloss is the pride and joy of the Haimhausen community and a true Bavarian treasure. Please treat it with the respect and care it deserves. A short history of Schloss Haimhausen (in British English a „Manor House“ or „Hall“) By Heidi Schoch

1400s First mention of a manor house in H‘hausen (not the Schloss we know today, but integrated into a building complex to the right of today’s building near the brew-ery).

Ca. 1504 Manor house probably burnt down, rebuilt but burnt down again in the 30-years War (1618-1648). 1590 The Counts Viepeckh von Haimhausen are given the Schloss and Farm as reward for service to the Bavarian royal family.

1660 Building of today’s middle part as a baroque country pleasure house with chapel amidst gardens. Built on an artificial hill (today‘s first floor was ground floor), with it’s garden front towards the Amper River and 2 grottoes and cascades. (See lithograph in Admission Director‘s office, dating around 1700).

1747 Extension of pleasure house under Count Karl Ferdinand Maria von Viepeckh by two wings (left and right), con-struction of new chapel (consecrated in 1749) by the then most famous architect and interior designer Francois Cu-villiés. The „mound“ around the house was taken down, therefore exposing the former cellar vaults, which now formed the ground floor. Inner decoration was executed by Cavils (Golden Room). Other famous Cuvilliés build-ings are the ‚Amalienburg‘, another pleasure manor in the park of the Nymphenburg Schloss; several rooms in Munich’s ‚Residenz‘ royal palace; the ‚Residenz Theater‘, one of Munich‘s most beautiful theatres; and rooms in ‚Schloss Brühl‘, near Bonn.

Ceiling paintings in the Golden Room were executed by Johann Bergmüller (famous Augsburg painter of his time) in 1750.

Chapel in late rococo style was also decorated by Jo-hann Bergmüller (ceiling), dedicated to „Our Scourged Savior“ - Jesus in chains above the main altar. This picture was a much-used image after the 30-years War to show that Jesus also suffered terribly - just like the people in those wars. Same Jesus image „the scourged savior“ can be seen in Germany‘s most beautiful roco-co church, the „Wieskirche“ south of Schongau, near Füssen. The last member of the Viepeckh family, Count Sigmund, was a much renowned politician, scientist and intellectual serving the German Caesar Karl VII and the Bavarian royal family. He was instrumental in setting up the now world-famous ‚Nymphenburg Porcelain Manu-facture’ in the western part of Munich, and was a found-ing member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences (1753).

. . . überall für Sie da! Wir vermitteln bundesweit und im europäischen Ausland.

Hauspersonalvermittlung ist Vertrauenssache!

Professionelle Unterstützung ist meist die bessere Entscheidung. Insbesondere bei der Suche nach Personal für den Haushalt und die eigene Familie hat diese Erkenntnis Gültigkeit. Denn es gehört schon einiges dazu, treffsicher die ideale Person für den privaten Bereich zu finden. Schließlich gehen Sie hierbei ein langfristig sehr nahes, auf Vertrauen basierendes Verhältnis ein, das im besten Fall über Jahre hinaus Bestand haben soll. Die Qualifikation eines Mitarbeiters muss hierzu nicht nur auf fachlicher, sondern gerade auch auf menschlicher Ebene passen.

Seit mehr als 20 Jahren tätig, entwickelte sich AL-Personalmanagement zu einer der bundesweit und im europäischem Ausland, führenden Vermitt-lungsagenturen für den privaten Haushalt. Unser Anspruch: Wir vermitteln nur dann, wenn von voller Zufriedenheit von Arbeitgeber und Arbeit-nehmer als unabdingbare Basis für eine harmoni-sche Zusammenarbeit auszugehen ist. Eine große Portion Menschenkenntnis, Sensibilität und Diskretion sowie eine über Jahre gewachsene Kenntnis dieses sehr speziellen Arbeitsmarktes sind unser wichtigstes Handwerkzeug. Mo-dernste Kommunikationswege, ein großes Netzwerk und eine

umfangreiche Datenbank ermöglichen uns, maßgeschneiderte Lösungen individueller Vermittlungsaufgaben auch in kurzer Zeit für Sie zu erarbeiten. Persönlichkeiten des öffentli-chen Lebens, große und anspruchsvolle Privathaushalte so-wie beruflich stark engagierte Personen gehören zu unseren häufigsten Kunden. Wir vermitteln ausschließlich qualifizierte

Mitarbeiter, deren Referenzen, Fachwissen, Be-rufserfahrung sowie die individuelle persönliche Eignung für den jeweiligen Haushalt von uns in-tensiv überprüft wurden. Die Ansprüche der Kun-den werden dabei ebenso wie die Vorstellungen und Qualifikationen der Bewerber analysiert. Dies ist der Grundstein für ein langfristiges, vertrau-ensvolles und harmonisches Beschäftigungsver-hältnis. Wenn Sie bei der Qual der Wahl kompetente Unter-stützung brauchen, sollten Sie uns – wie viele hun-derte Kunden zuvor – Ihr Vertrauen schenken.

Sprechen Sie uns an. Gerne beantworten wir – natürlich unverbindlich – Ihre Fragen. Verzichten Sie auf die eigene zeit- und nervenraubende Kandidatensuche. Überlas-sen Sie uns die arbeitsintensive Bewerberauswahl und vertrauen Sie unseren treffsicheren Empfehlungen.

HOW CAN I FIND A HOUSE FOR MY FAMILY?Most families rely on a relocation service to help them find

housing. It is also possible to find a house with the help of a realtor (Immobilienmakler), or if you have some rudimentary German skills or a friend or acquaintance with some knowl-edge of German, you can start your search online from abroad via the website www.immobilienscout24.de

It is challenging finding the right place for your family in a city that you are not yet truly familiar with. Should you want

a little time to really explore the greater Munich area before making a decision on where you want to live for the next few years, it is possible to rent a furnished temporary flat or hotel efficiency suite. Take a look at the websites for Mr. Lodge, www.mrlodge.de, or Statt Hotel, www.statthotel.de

WHERE DO MOST BIS FAMILIES LIVE?BIS families live throughout the greater Munich area.

Those who love the hustle, bustle, culture and cuisine of the city right at their doorstep favor the neighborhoods of Bogenhausen, Schwabing, and Nymphenburg in central Munich.

For those who like a village, Haimhausen is a very sought after address.

The towns in the north along the S1 train line are also very much in demand, such as Ober- and Unterschleissheim, Lohhof, Eching, Neufarn, and Freising. Ismaning (on the S8 line) is increasingly popular, as is Garching, which has the advantage of a subway stop offering a quick and easy connection to downtown, and a shuttle bus connection from the underground stop at Garching-Hochbrück to BIS.

DRIVER’S LICENSE INFORMATION / FÜHRERSCHEIN

Individuals may drive with original driving license for up to six months after entering Germany. Before the end of this peri-

od one should apply for a German license. Procedures differ for EU nationals and non-EU nationals.

EU NationalsAnyone from a EU country may simply exchange his original driving license for a German license.

Exchange requires:

Completed license application form

Original driving license

2 recent passport size photographs

Passport

Copy of police registration (Meldebescheinigung)

Cash for application fees

Non-EU Nationals

Individuals from Non-EU countries may be required to take a written and/or a practical driving test to obtain a German

driving license. This must be completed before the end of the six-month period. This is a lengthy process so it should be

started soon after arriving in Germany. Individuals from the USA should check with the Landratsamt in your area to deter-

mine if your home state has reciprocity with Germany, requiring only an exchange of license, taking a written test or taking

both the written and practical test.

Before you may turn in your application form the following must be completed:

Register at a driving school (Fahrschule)

Obtain test study materials from

driving school

Have an eye test at a local optician or TUV

Complete a first aid course

Have original driving license translated

at ADAC

Complete application form and take to Landratsamt

Fuhrerscheinstelle with:

2 recent passport size pictures

Passport

Original driving license

Copy of police registration

(Meldebescheinigung)

Cash for application fees

Processing of application takes about 4-6 weeks.

During this time study the test materials and practice

driving with a driving school. Expect to take 2-6 driving

lessons. Once your application has been processed,

schedule the written test. After successfully passing

written test, schedule the practical driving test.

Fees for tests must be paid in cash. When both

tests have been passed successfully pick up new driving

license at Landratsamt Fuhrerscheinstelle.

GENERAL DRIVING INFORMATION

- The use of seatbelts is mandatory.

- All children up to the age of 12 years must sit in the back-seat of the car, and those shorter than 150cm or younger than 12 must be buckled into a child seat of appropriate size.

- Children may not sit in the front seat until age 12 or height of 150 cm.

- It is prohibited to use a mobile phone while driving.

- For street parking you will often have to use the parking disc (Parkscheibe). A parking disc is a blue paper clock to place above your steering wheel when parking in time-lim-ited parking zones indicated with the respective symbol. You set it at the time parking began. They are available at most gas stations and garages for about 1 euro. Park-ing ticket machines (Parkscheinautomaten) are now com-monly used for curbside parking as well. Watch your time and do not overstay your time limit. Parking controllers are frequent in the city and villages.

- Right turn at a red light is not permitted, however some lights may have a smaller, green paper arrow that allows you to turn right on a red light only if the lane is clear to do so.

- Overtaking is allowed only on the left.

- Do not overtake a bus at a stop if its emergency flashers are blinking.

- Right-of-way dominates, so become familiar with deter-mining who has it. In case of no street signs posted, the right-of-way dominates.

- When using the autobahn, use fast lanes only to pass and remember to only pass on the left!

- City buses and trams always have the right of way.

- A gold diamond sign indicates a priority road.

- Stop for anyone using a white-stripped zebra pedestrian crossing.

- When there are no priority road signs you must give priority to the car to your right.

- When reaching a motorway traffic jam it is recommended that you turn on your hazard warning lights to alert traffic behind you of the need to stop quickly.

- Speed limits are the following unless otherwise posted: 50 km/hr within town limits (between gold signs with town

name) 100 km/hr on other roads No limit on Autobahns, but maximum 130 km/hr is recom-

mended

- Bei nasse under a speed limit sign means travel below this speed when the road is wet.

- Anlieger frei means the road is open only to residents.

- German law requires all cars to carry a first aid kit and por-table red reflective triangle.

- Should you be involved in an accident remain on the scene and call the police.

- Emergency Number: 110 for police and 112 for ambu-lance. On the Autobahn, emergency telephone pillars (No-trufsäulen) are placed every 1,000 meters.

WASTE AND RECYCLING

Germany has an excellent system for recycling. It may seem overwhelming at first, but you will soon learn. There may be some minor differences between different areas, so check with your local Rathaus. Below are some general guidelines:

Description Goes Where? Will Be Recycled/Reused as…

Household waste – what re-mains after you have separa-ted your waste

In the black bin Energy

Biological – household scraps (no prepared/cooked food), peels, coffee and tea filters, old flowers, garden waste

In brown bin (you are allo-wed to put in tissues and crumpled up newspaper to ab-sorb fluids).

Compost or energy

Packing Material – cans, plastic, polystyrene, alu-minum, tinplate and “compo-site” materials like bevera-ge cartons made of a mixture of materials

In yellow bag provided by the area or in a container located in the neighborhood.

Energy, new plastic and new cans

Glass – Bottles which you have not paid a deposit on, glass jars

In containers located in your neighborhood. You should separate according to color of glass (white, green, brown)

New bottles

Hazardous Waste – fluore-scent tubes, batteries and acid, cans still containing paint, thinners, adhesives, corrosives, disinfectants, insecticides

Collected by a toxic collec-tion vehicle

Batteries – used, non-rechargeable

In a small container found in shops where you can buy new ones.

In case you have more waste than you have room in your waste bin you may take it over to the recycling center in your area. The Wertstoffhof is well organized with marked containers for various types of waste and ample help to guide you. Opening hours vary so be sure to check with your Rathaus.

ELECTRICITYElectricity in Germany is 220/230 Volts AC (VAC), 50 Hertz (Hz) with plug type “C” (Round pin attachment plug). For those moving from another country that uses the same voltage and frequency, this will not impact the use of currently owned electrical appliances or might involve the use of adapter plugs. For those moving from the US or other countries that use 110/120 VAC, 60 Hz, using an adapter plug alone is not enough – you need to use a voltage converter as well. Voltage converters can “step down” the 220/230 VAC to 110/120 VAC, but they do not convert the 50 Hz frequency to 60 Hz. Motorized appliances may not work properly on 50 Hz, so consult the owner’s manual or electrical information placard on the appliance. A lot of the newer electronic devices work on both voltages/frequencies and have a placard that reads “AC 100V – 240V ~ 1A 50/60 Hz”. If you are buying new electronic equipment, it might be a good idea to purchase one that operates on dual voltage so that you can use it most anywhere with only an adapter plug.

TV/RADIOIn Germany there are still some radio and TV stations run by public corporations and funded through fees that any user of radio or television must pay, regardless of whether and antenna, cable or a satellite is used. The fee for private households is approximately 16,15 euros per month and registrations and payments are made to the GEZ in Köln. Registrations are usually sent to you in the mail or you can get one in banks or download a form from their website: www.gez.de.

The German broadcasting standard is PAL P/B, which means that American NTSC system TV’s will not work. You will need to acquire a PAL set or a multi-system one. As mentioned above, when considering the purchase of a new televi-sion, investigate the possibility of one that operates on dual voltage and one that has the ability to display both PAL and NTSC formats.

Most homes have access to cable with around 35 mostly-German programs, although CNN, NBC, MTV, Super Channel, BBC and sometimes BBC World can be received. Another option is pay-TV via satellite. There are companies that speak English and can advise you on the options and costs. One such company is Bavaria Satellite and they speak excellent English: http://www.bavaria-satellite.tv/

VIDEO PLAYERS (VHS / DVD)As noted above, VCRs and DVD player compatibility is an issue for those moving from the US. In addition to the electricity and format issues noted above, DVDs are also “coded” for use in designated regions of the world. DVDs coded “1” for US use will not play in devices coded for European use (“2”). Some devices allow you to change the region code a fixed number of times before the setting becomes permanent and some newer DVDs are actually “codeless”, which means they can play all region DVDs. If you plan to buy a new DVD player, getting one that is dual voltage and codeless provides the maximum compatibility.

TRAIN/BUS INFORMATION/ MVG-VERKEHR

Public transportation around Munich is readily available and easy to use once you understand the system. On average trains, buses and trams run on schedule with only minor delays at peak hours. Peak hours are from 06.00 to 09.00 week-day mornings and 16.00 to 18.00 weekday evenings.

The public transportation system or MVG is made up of trains, buses and trams. The train system is made up of S-Bahn trains (surface or schnellbahn trains), which go from the city center to outlying towns, and the U-Bahn trains (underground or subway trains), which connect stops throughout the city center. Fares for use on the MVG system are based on a zone system. The Innenraum (Zone 1) includes all stops within the city limits. S-Bahn trains run at least every 20 minutes within the Innenraum. U-Bahn trains run every 10 minutes in the city and every 5 minutes during peak hours. Innenraum stations are indicated with a blue box on the Schnellbahn – Netzplan or train maps. The Aussenraum is made up of three addition-al zones of concentric circles outside city center. Outside the Innenraum S-Bahn trains may run every 20 to 40 minutes and U-Bahn trains run every 10 to 20 minutes.

Travel in one direction through one or more zones determines the fare required. Tickets can be purchased for one-way travel, for multiple stop travel, for daily travel, weekend travel, and monthly travel. Tickets are good for travel on trains, buses, trams, and subways including transfer from one to another. Travelers are allowed to bring dogs on trains. Bicycles are allowed only after peak hours. Check fare rates for additional fees for dogs and bicycles. Children aged 5 and under are free. Children’s fares are valid for ages 6 – 14. Adult tickets are valid for anyone over age 14. Teenagers should carry a Schulausweiss or other proof of age when using MVG system.

Types of tickets are: Kurz trip for travel of no more than 4 stops within the Inneraum Einzel zone for travel in one direction through one zone Streifen karten: for multiple travel stops

Adult (blue) card has ten stripes (streifen). Each zone traveled (in one direction) requires 2 stripes per adult. Child (red) card has 6 stripes (streifen). Travel (in one direction) requires 1 stripe per child.Teenagers’ aged 15-20 must use an adult streifen card yet each zone traveled requires only one stripe.For example: You are traveling from Hauptbahnhof to Freising. This will take you through 3 zones requiring 6 stripes for an adult, 3 stripes for a teenager and 1 stripe for a child.

Taglich karten: for travel with multiple stops for one person throughout one day. May be purchased for the Innenraum, Aussenraum, or both regions – Gesamtnet.Partner karte: for travel with multiple stops for up to 5 adults throughout the area for one day. Two children (6 – 14) count as one adult. May be purchased for Inneraum, Ausseraum or Gesamte.Gruner karten: is a monthly pass good from the 1st to the last day of a calendar month. Pass is valid for travel after 9am on weekdays and any time on weekends or holidays. Up to three children (6 –14) may travel with one adult. After 18.00 weekdays and any time on weekends one additional adult may travel with a gruner karte holder. May be purchased for Innenraum, Aussenraum or Gesamtnet.

Tickets (excluding the gruner karte or monthly pass) must be date stamped before boarding the train. Stamp tickets at blue box with yellow “E”. Tickets must be stamped in the direction of the arrows shown on the ticket. When using streifen tickets, stamp the ticket on the stripe corresponding to the number of stripes required. For example: When traveling two zones as an adult (which requires 4 stripes) stamp the ticket on the fourth stripe. The system works on the honor system and inspectors do spot checks daily at different times on different trains. The fines for riding without a ticket are a mini-mum of 40 euros, payable on-the-spot.

Fares are subject to change throughout the year. Fares and train schedules are published regularly in a Fahrplan book available at most train station kiosks or MVG information locations.

POSTAL SERVICES / DEUTSCHE POST

German postal services can be recognized by the yellow color of their cars and bicycles. Mail is usually delivered in the mornings Monday – Saturday; parcel and packages come separately. Mail is not picked up from your home; you must drop it in a yellow mailbox around town or at the post office. If you are not home to receive a registered letter or package, the postal carrier will leave a note in your mailbox to pick it up at the post office on the next day. It will be kept there for about a week, so be sure to not order anything while you are away. Be sure to bring some piece of identification with you when picking up mail or packages at the post office. Most post offices in Munich or other large cities are open all day from 8:00 – 18:30, but some smaller ones in the suburbs or villages close for lunch. If you need to buy stamps or send a packet, be sure to bring enough cash since the post office doesn’t accept bank or credit cards.

Remember to put your name on your mailbox or mail will not be delivered.

Deutsche Post still only handles letters, but you can send parcels and packets with other competitors: DHL 0800 2 25 53 54DPD 08165 94 20Fed Ex 0800 1 23 02 00German Parcel Service 0180 5 25 27 00TNT 089/3177 20UPS 0800 8 82 66 30World Courier 089/96 98 92 90

**Before you go on a longer holiday, make sure you have a friend or neighbor empty your mailbox for you. You can also ask that you mail be stored at the local post office. The forms are available at the post office or at www.deutschepost.de/lagerservice.

LANGUAGE SCHOOLS If you don’t already speak German, a course is highly recommended. The cheapest way is finding a course through the adult education program (Volkshochschule), which has many branches all over Munich and surrounding areas. You can check with your local Rathaus for the closest Volkshochschule. Since these courses are subsidized by the city the tuition is quite reasonable. Other language programs are listed below:

BEER GARDENS

Munich is the best place for experiencing a beer garden: Biergärten. Dating back to earlier times, brewers were desperate to keep their beers cool during the summer months, so they stored their barrels in the cellars and planted chestnut trees above them. Chestnut trees have wide branches and large leaves to keep the area nice and shady. King Ludwig I granted the brewers the right to sell their beer on the spot, but not food. Since these times, people flock to these gardens to drink cool, fresh beer bringing their own food. As soon as the sun comes out in the spring and the temperatures rise above 15 degrees C, the people of Bavaria flock to the beer gardens to enjoy the large chestnut tress and socialize over a liter of beer.

Nowadays the beer gardens also sell food and are usually associated with a restaurant. The tradition of bringing your own food still lives. The gardens have both tables with tablecloths, where you are served by a waitress, and must buy the food. There are also many long tables and benches without table cloths where you can consume your own food that you have brought. Just sit down at one of the tables with locals, which is a custom in Bavaria. Whether you are in a beer garden or a restaurant, sit down with complete strangers and enjoy each other’s company. And if you go to a beer garden, don’t expect to spend less than two hours there - this sanctuary to the Bavarian way of life has preserved relaxation in defiance of hectic modern life.

The following is a brief guide to German beer:Helles – pale gold, lager, “normal” beerDunkles – dark beerPils, Pilsner – pale gold beer with more hops than Helles, named for the Czech town of PilsenExport – beer with higher alcohol content and longer lagering period better suited for shippingMärzenbier – a strong, bottom-fermented beer brewed especially for OktoberfestWeizenbier, Weissbier – a pale, top-fermented beer brewed with more wheat, low in hops and containing less alcohol. A pop-ular summer drink served in a vase-like glass.Alkoholfreies Bier – contains 0.5% alcohol or lessRadler – mixture of beer and citrus-flavored soda or lemonade, shandy

There are about 180 beer gardens in Munich. Be careful, a lot of restaurants put up a sign “Biergärten”, only meaning that you can sit outside but you may not bring your own food and must purchase their food. Here is a short list of the most popular and genuine beer gardens:

GERMAN AND BAVARIAN HOLIDAYS (FEIERTAGE) All businesses, stores, doctor’s offices, schools, etc. are closed on the Pubic Holidays.

January 1 / New Years Day / Neujahr / Public Holiday People greet each other with the phrase “Ein gutes neues Jahr!”

January 6 / Epiphany / Helige Drei Könige / Public Holiday It is the 12th day after Christmas when the Magi visited

Jesus and the end of the Christmas season. The children dress up like the Magi. They are called Star Singers and go from house to house singing and collecting money for the poor people. They will write “C+M+B”, which stands for Christus mansionem benedictam (Christ bless this house) and the initials of the king’s names (Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar) with the year above your door. This supposedly brings good luck.

February / Carnival / Fasching / Public Holiday Fasching actually starts in November when a princess

and prince are inaugurated. It reaches its peak in Jan-uary and February with many balls. The fun ends with parades and dancing in the streets.

Good Friday / Karfreitag / Public Holiday

March / April / Palm Sunday / Palmsonntag

Easter Monday / Ostermontag / Public Holiday

May 1 / Labor Day / Maifeiertag / Public HolidayFolk holiday welcoming the spring, saying farewell to the winter. Custom: In Bavaria Maypoles are raised and there are lots of festivities.

May / Mother’s Day / Second Sunday in May

May 12-15 / Ice Saints Day / Die Eisheiligen In Bavaria one does not plant summer flowers before this

date because until then you still can expect frost at night.

May / Ascension Day / Christi Himmelfahrt / German Father’s Day / Public Holiday Custom: A traditional man’s outing for a hike or just a

bike ride to the beer garden. Fathers do not get presents. Their presents are the outing.

May / June/Monday following Pentecost / Pfingstmontag /Public Holiday

May / June / Feast of Corpus Christi / Fronleichnam / Public Holiday

June 21 / Beginning of summer.

June 24 / Midsummerday / Johannistag or Mittsommernacht Commemorating the birthday of St. John. Bonfires in

some areas.

August 15 / Ascension of Mary / Maria Himmelfahrt / Public Holiday

October 3 / Reunification Day / Tag der Deutschen Einheit /Public Holiday

November 1 / All Saints Day / Allerheiligen / Public Holiday Commemoration of all saints. In medieval England this

festival was known as All Hallows, and its eve is still known as Halloween, which has only recently begun to be celebrated in Germany. Catholic graveyards are decorated and blessed.

November 11 / St. Martin’s Day/Martinstag Commemoration Day of St. Martin of Tours, patron of

the poor and soldiers. Little children parade through the streets carrying self-made lanterns and singing seasonal songs. An adult often leads the parade on horseback, dressed as St. Martin, in a red coat and wearing a hel-met. This is also the official beginning of the Fasching.

November / Day of Repentance and Prayer/Buß-und Bettag / No School

November / December / Advent Advent wreaths made of fir tree branches are decorat-

ed with four candles representing the four Sundays of Advent. Another custom is to make or buy and Advents-kalendar with 24 doors. One for each day from December first until Christmas.

December 6 / St. Nicolas Day / St. Nikolaus Patron of the children and sailors. Custom: St. Nikolaus,

dressed in red like a bishop comes into people’s houses and states what a child has done – good and bad – throughout the year and hands out little presents. Some-times he is accompanied by a rather wild creature in furs carrying a rod (Knecht Rupprecht, also called Krampus in Bavaria). Usually, the Nikolaus is a family member or friend; he can also be hired. Another custom is to put out a shoe/boot the night before. This is secretly filled with sweets and small presents by St. Nikolaus during the night. For naughty children, Krampus will leave a birch branch and lumps of coal.

December 24 (half day) / Christmas Eve / Heiligabend Shops close at noon. In Germany people start celebrat-

ing Christmas early in the evening of this day. They will attend Christmas services either in the late afternoon or at midnight. In the evening, the Christkindl comes to the house and leaves presents for everybody. When the family comes back, the candles of the Christmas tree (Weihnachtsbaum) are lighted and the celebration starts. Merry Christmas in German is “Frohe Weihnachten”, or “Fröhliche Weihnachten” or “Frohes Fest”.

December 25 & 26 / Christmas 1 and Boxing Day 2 /Weihnachtstag / Public Holidays

December 31 / New Years Eve / Silvester Shops close at noon

“Moving and living in a new place, culture and atmosphere can be really difficult for students who choose universities outside their hometown. Though the excitement upon arrival is short lived, the new environment also places students in ideal positions to interact, and form life-long connections with coursemates from other countries. European University is not just known for its academic excellence and networking opportunities, it also has a great sense of community. By the time an EU student graduates, they have shared classes, activities and meaningful experiences with their course mates and, in the process made life-long friends. From meeting extraordinary people to sampling the delights of the vibrant cities in which EU campuses are located, students will always have the opportunity to actively choose pursuits and pastimes that will make their stay at EU nothing short of unforgettable. The life of an EU student is never boring. From industrial visits off campus to magnetic guestlectures in your classes, you will always feel like a part of the action. To make sure that students get the most out of their free time off campus, we provide weekly tips on all its social media pages about local cultural events. Each campus and respective student board organizes several events for students throughout the year, among them are: welcome nights, Christmas dinners, cultural tours, city breaks and charity events.
