Munich in the winter dream: snow masses and memories from the 70s!

snow masses have transformed Munich into an impressive "winter Wonderland". The article by Merkur describes how the city sank in the snow during the 1970s. A large number of pictures show Münchner, who do their Christmas purchases in 1970, and a man who frees his car from the snow masses, while a poster for summer vacations can be seen in the background. In addition, traffic instructions were still strictly observed, so that a bridge was blocked and the users were referred to the underpass.

The streets in Munich were severely affected; People wore their bicycles up the snowy steps. Long -term runners even ventured into the main station in Munich and a skier spectaciously crossed the Stachusbrücke to Karlstor. Memorial photos from January 1970 also show a snowman in the Grünwald stadium on which the news "Game falls out" is emblazoned. A young woman used the snow conditions creatively and went skiing in the stadium on Grünwalder Strasse.

historical recordings from the 1970s

The snow activities extended over several years. The first snow event took place on October 18. The article also mentions the Olympic Stadium in Munich, which was covered with a thick blanket in the winter of 1971. In the middle of this winter scenery, construction work can be seen in the 1972 Olympic Park, in which construction workers pause in front of a small Christmas tree.

Additional memories of this snow -rich come from the Munich Tierpark Hellabrunn. A chimpanzee was photographed there in the winter of 1971 while playing in the snow, and shows how much the animals also enjoyed this weather event, as from the report by Abbooks .
