After a green Christmas, you may be amazed when I tell you: There is snow in Munich all year round. But of the forbidden kind. Cocaine has always existed in the city, in which a kiss-kiss society is not only intoxicated on itself. But the scandal that shakes Munich has a new dimension: Because police officers are involved.

It all started with an accident. Dealer Stefan H. crashes in his car in a garage on Müllerstrasse while intoxicated with drugs. Little by little he begins to unpack. In many interrogations, but also in court hearings, which my colleague Susi Wimmer followed, the dealer reveals the dark side of Munich.

The drug tour leads to the cozy toilets of the Heart Club, where banknotes are handed out from cubicles at a “loo party”. To private club operators who consider themselves inviolable. To police officers who are regular customers at the dealer and on duty until they get a visit at home from the special task force. And to the Oktoberfest, the festival of global intoxication.

We have traced for you the story of Munich’s dark heart and a dealer who unpacks to save himself – in text and in illustrations (SZ Plus).

CHRISTMAS WEEKEND IN MUNICH

Throwing out before Christmas: refugees evacuated Shortly before Christmas Eve, the government of Upper Bavaria is moving around two dozen people to new accommodations because Afghan local staff are now moving into the rooms. The city was not informed of the action.

“The others are just happy that they have an apartment” Heating problems, cracks in the wall, balcony doors that don’t close properly: a new building for the municipal Gewofag in Prinz-Eugen-Park was only moved into at the beginning of the year, but there are already some complaints. How is the housing association reacting? (Order of magnitude plus)

Lot at Green City AG Several of the Group’s wind and solar park projects are in financial difficulties. Interest payments and the repayment of bonds are at risk. A restructuring is to be discussed at an extraordinary general meeting.
