                <description><![CDATA[A decision to restore the city of Munich was taken after wartime bombing and so, unlike Frankfurt, for example, which is almost brand new, or Berlin, which is an extraordinary mix of old and new, Munich has regained the main elements of its prewar appearance.  The result restores a city whose inhabitants, including its rulers, were in love with Italy and Ancient Greece.  Koenigsplatz is one good place to see the epic scale of this phenomenon, where two major classical museums face one another across a vast grassy square, separated by a monumental gate, again in a classical style.  What might have been grandiose is saved by the presence, in good weather, of children playing, and students from the nearby university sitting around, chatting, and generally enjoying the sunshine.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The U6 U-bahn to Universitat takes you to Geschwester Scholl-platz, named after Sophie and Hans Scholl, the students who were murdered by the Nazis for challenging the regime.  The buildings in this area, and the nearby Englischer Garten, will be familiar to admirers of "Heimat 2."  This is where Edgar Reitz set his series about student life in the 1960's.  The area just to the north contains many beautiful Art Nouveau villas.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The Waldfriedhof is a huge cemetery. However, it’s not the sort with row upon row of graves, but with lots of trees (wald-forest) and the graves in many little groups. Basically the whole thing is a great big park, with various parts, including a lake with incredibly fat fish lazing around in it. <br><br>Great place to step off the world for a few hours, take a good long walk or just flop on the grass. Bring some food and an umbrella  (and a street map and compass wouldn’t hurt) as you can get lost and wander round for hours. Grave styles range from the kitschly pious (squirly Bavarian crosses with little roofs) to thoroughly modern and non-religious sculptures.]]></description>
