Munich during the start: 150,000 students and a lack of living space!

München, Deutschland - Munich experiences a rapid increase to students, with over 150,000 learners who make the city to Berlin the second most important university location in Germany. But the search for affordable living space becomes a real struggle for survival - many do not get beyond emergency sleeping places. In the meantime, around 28,000 runners took place at the marathon through the city last weekend, despite heavy rains that made the competition even more challenging.

The Munich pedestrian zone is currently the focus of protests: Architects criticize the planned demolition of the intact Kaut-Bullinger building in favor of a new building, whereby profit orientation is in the room. To make matters worse, a signal box disorder in the Munich S-Bahn and long-distance traffic ensures chaotic conditions, with massive delays and standstill at the weekend. And that's not the end of the flagpole. The problems should continue for some time, as several reports confirm. Details can be found www.sueddeutsche.de .
