................................................................................................................................................ City Focus Munich:   This month we focus our attention on Munich, partly because Germany as a whole holds the Presidency of the European Union for 6 months until June and partly because Munich is one of the most important cities in Germany for both leisure and business. The Apartment Service handles a large number of enquiries yearly for this city in the South of the country, in the state of Bavaria. Munich was founded in 1158 by Henry the Lion. In 1214 it was first referred to as a city. In 1255 Munich became the capital of the state of Bavaria. One of the most famous "exports" of Munich is the Oktoberfest, also referred to as the largest public party in the world. The first festival was held in 1810 and ran between 12-17 October. In later years the festival was prolonged and brought forward to start in September, to ensure higher temperatures in the evenings. This year it will take place between 22nd September and 7th October For the month of March the following events can be visited in the city: * Bollywood - The Musical, still running until the 18th March in the Deutsches Theatre * The Strong Beer Festival, the whole month of March.
