Hofbräuhaus

Hofbräuhaus

Introduction Established in 1589 as the royal brewery at the time, the entire building can accommodate up to 5,000 people; the third floor is a grand banquet hall that can host 1,000 people for drinking together. The beer hall serves its own brewed HB beer. Nearly ten thousand liters of beer are delivered from here to various taverns, inns, banquet halls, and beer gardens every day.

The band in the banquet hall plays famous tunes from different countries upon request from international visitors. With the increasing number of Chinese tourists, the "March of the Volunteers" has now become a daily staple performance.

The interior decoration is distinctive, with brightly colored murals on the ceiling. The space is spacious, often featuring brass band performances to liven up the beer drinkers. There are also ladies dressed in Bavarian attire encouraging the purchase of beer steins. You can also enjoy traditional Bavarian folk music and dance performances.

For centuries, Hofbräuhaus has been the premier gathering spot for celebrities and politicians. Princess Sissi, Goethe, Lenin, and others have all been guests here. In 1780, Mozart drank and composed his opera "Idomeneo" here as a memento. However, what truly made Hofbräuhaus world-famous was Hitler. In 1923, Hitler attempted to overthrow the republic, and it was at the Hofbräuhaus that he abducted Bavarian leaders and later delivered his famous "25-Point Program." But it ended in failure. This is the infamous "Beer Hall Putsch."

Note: Germans are reluctant to discuss Hitler’s past, so visitors should be aware but avoid bringing it up. Transport Located at No. 19 in the Platzl square. Take the subway to Marienplatz station.
