Now that the street cleaning strike has ended, the last remnants of the carnival bustle and the market women’s dance at the Viktualienmarkt have probably been eliminated. Unfortunately, the stand with the beautiful name has also been swept clean egg egg by Simone Schütz, just around the corner from Fisch Witte. Unfortunately, she threw in the towel after almost eleven months. As the successor to the Munich-wide well-known Standlfrauen Elfriede Schmon and Elfriede Kohlhuber, she sold ducks, geese and other organic poultry, but also eggs, butter, lard, honey, pasta, poultry stock and broth. Unfortunately, it didn’t pay off, she wouldn’t have been able to do the stand without a part-time job. “I can’t work seven days a week,” she says. The new tender for the shop is already underway, and by April 1st it is to be awarded to a poultry trade again.
Rather in the champagne and chic corner of the Viktualienmarkt, many arrange them Max & Moritz wine bar at the eastern corner of Westenriederstrasse. The two operators, Max Schiefer and Moritz Schreiner, primarily have South African organic wines on offer, but will soon be presenting their own organic wines under the name “Max & Moritz Streiche”. The first prank is a fruity white wine, the second a “sparkling rosé with strawberry and mint aromas”. Both wines are made by the winemaker Lara Haas from the Johanninger winery in Biebelsheim near Bad Kreuznach. On March 10, Max & Moritz will officially present the two wines at 4 p.m. in their market bar, and the first 20 bottles will then be served free of charge. But they are already available exclusively in advance at the stand (Max & Moritz wine bar, Viktualienmarkt/corner of Westenriederstraße, Monday to Friday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., telephone 0176- 16371609, www.the-winestore.com).
Since we are already in the old town, we can go on a culinary tour of the house Platzlhotel Clues. The crime writer Sabine Vöhringer has settled her Munich thriller “The Fairy Tale King” in large parts right here. Her investigator, Chief Inspector Tom Perlinger, is on the trail of an imposter known as the “Fairy Tale King” in the hotel, in the lobby, in the Ayinger am Platzl tavern and in the Pfistermühle. On March 2, she will read from her book at four stations, and there will also be something to eat at each station (Culinary detective story reading, Thursday, March 2nd, 6.30 p.m., Platzl-Hotel, Sparkassenstraße 10, 65 euros per person, tickets via www.muenchenticket.de).
