PLACE REPRESENTED: Munich , Germany

ITEM: Wall Ornament

NOTES: A traditional looking wall plate with some of the sites of Munich (Munchen in German). Though it is not as olde worlde traditional as it seems at fist glance.. Next to the New Town Hall (circa 1874), and and the twin towers of the Roman Catholic Frauenkirche (circa 1524) is the Olympiaturm (circa 1968).

The coat of arms of Munich depicts a monk dressed in a habit holding a book. Not surprising as the German name for Munich, München, means “of Monks”.

What happens in Munchen if you get the munchies? (okay, that was lame)
