Marienplatz hosts Da sein für München on 10 October

Marienplatz will host Da sein für München in Munich on 10 October 2026, bringing the city administration's public event to the square and surrounding Old Town streets. The programme runs from 10am to 5pm and extends through Kaufingerstraße, Neuhauser Straße, Rosenstraße and Rindermarkt.

Da sein für München brings 40 pavilions to Marienplatz

The event is organised by Munich's municipal departments and public-sector companies. More than 40 pavilions will present their responsibilities, projects and technologies, giving visitors information, demonstrations and opportunities to take part.

The range runs from advice on reducing household waste by Abfallwirtschaftsbetrieb München to the city's central telephone service. On Marienplatz, the programme also includes music and speeches throughout the day. The city has published an event programme for 10 October 2026 with the participating locations and activity details.

Marienplatz links municipal services with Munich history

The event uses a square that already functions as one of Munich's main meeting points. Marienplatz lies in the Old Town and contains the New Town Hall, the Old Town Hall, the Mariensäule and the Fish Fountain.

The New Town Hall was built between 1867 and 1909 in the Neo-Gothic style by architect Georg von Hauberrisser. Its tower contains the Glockenspiel, which has 43 bells and 16 figures and has been on display since 1908. That combination of civic information beneath the town hall and historic landmarks around the square gives the 10 October programme a specific setting rather than a generic city-centre venue. Further history and visitor details for Marienplatz are provided by Munich's official city website.

Public information reaches the surrounding Old Town streets

The city event is not confined to the square. Its published venue list includes Kaufingerstraße, Neuhauser Straße, Rosenstraße and Rindermarkt, connecting the pavilions with the pedestrian routes around the New Town Hall.

The focus is practical: municipal teams will explain services affecting daily life in Munich, while visitors can see projects and technologies presented by the departments responsible for them. The programme therefore places public information beside the landmarks that travellers usually associate with Marienplatz.
