Munich is the third largest city in Germany, after the cities Hamburg and Berlin. The city hosted the 1972 Summer Olympic games and is a possible candidate for the 2018 games which I am designing my logo for.
The city's motto is "Munchen mag Dich." Which roughly translates to "Munich Loves You." And the name of the city in German, "Munchen," means "by the monk's place. This is because the city was founded by monk's which is also why their is a monk depicted in the city's coat of arms. On the Munich flag are checkers, black and yellow.
Near the city is the Bavarian Alps, Europe's largest mountain range, which runs from the eastern european countries (Austria and Slovenia) all the way through the western countries (Germany and France).
During the early 1930's, Munich was a Nazi stronghold and suffered from several bombings. Many of the structures including some of the older buildings dating back to the 17th century had to be restored. During that time the city, was considered the "Capital of the Movement" and bared "Fuhrer" buildings which were buildings that were associated with the nazi party.
