Liberales Munich: Wed Freddie Mercury seine Feste feierte

14 more or more big Queen fans have combined their flight in the Isartor, we will erase more wool about «Freddie Mercurys Zeit in Munich». From 1979 to 1985, the charismatic singer Dauergast fought in the Bavarian Landeshauptstadt.

Once the «Bohemian Rhapsody» has been released, Stadtführer Roman Stefka begins the beginning of the run. Quickly get all your fingers hoch. Kein Wunder, the four Oscar premiere film of 2018 in the Kinos comb, is the most successful film biography ever seen. Nur dass Munich goes “schlecht awaykam” and the singer in the city and the Isar downright unterging.

Nevertheless, there are many legends, including Nicola Bardola, music journalist and author of the books «Mercury in Munich. Seine besten Jahre», auf das sich Stefka bei seiner Führung stutzt.

Service for the Rockstar

We have been traveling for miles since Stefka has spoken to her guests. Ein erster Schlenker führt zur Stollbergstraße 2. Here, in the outskirts of the Altstadt, Mercury created a living room in 1979, mobile and after a hint. Now there are two more streets: the “Petit Café”, there is also a secret tip in the Schwulenszene.

Mercury soll here Exzesse gefeiert haben, begleitet von der Schauspielerin Barbara Valentin, “one of the few women who reinkam in Schwulen-Clubs”, says Stefka. «The “Petit Café” is the only state that is still original.»

Most Orte, and danes Freddie Mercury verkehrte, have Namen und Besitzer wechselt. The glorious ‘Heiliggeiststüberl’ on the Viktualienmarkt zum Beispiel, such a smaller load, if Mercurius likes it.

Eines Morgens is here together with Barbara Valentin a white sausage from his nehmen, that is from 6 o’clock. While I have never been to war, Valentin has shaken the queen singer’s hand and can find himself in the Abwasch. First a white sausage.

It says Bayern with Schnauzer

The Glockenbachviertel is not as good as the center of the Munich Schwulenszene, the Ampeln with a few streamlined Fußgänger couples are an erster Hinweis. “Freddie Mercury has found a new sex story, it’s one of the things he does, so he doesn’t know who he is anymore, says Stefka.

The addresses of the einschlägigen clubs are listed in a travel guide for gays. Zum Beispiel die vom “Pimpernel”, heute a Nightclub with DJ-Music, while she still remembers the last time. Or go to the «Ochsengarten», to the Leder-Bar Deutschlands. “Solche Locations welcomed Freddie, he stood at Leder en standene Bayern with Schnauzer.”

Heftig Krachen ließ es der Sänger am September 5, 1985. A diesem Tag feierte is seinen 39. Geburtstag in Travestie-Club «Old Mrs. Henderson», heute die «Paradiso Tanzbar». Mercurius ließ auffahren – Caviar, Cooks, everything. A review of the wild experiences of the Musikvideo «Living on My Own», which was aufgenommen in Teilen bei der Feier and that the BBC was not released for many years.

The Feier War was such that it was an Abschiedsparty. There went to London, power with queen furore during the Wohltätigkeitskonzert Live Aid 1985. “Man is ready, that is sick,” said Stefka. AIDS is gone. Mercury Starb 1991 and the following HIV infection.

We are on the Spuren of Freddie Mercury while walking in Munich, never come to the “Deutschen Eiche” before. “Here we have the most fruitful things to eat, we are happy with it,” said Dietmar Holzapfel, one of the two residents.

I prefer to visit Nudeln, in Knoblauchöl. One of the wands in the large Wirtsstube Photos: Freddie Mercury and Barbara Valentin here, the clerk Rainer Werner Fassbinder, the trestles of the gegenüberwohnte, dort.

Holzapfel führt fast jeden Tag Gruppen durchs Haus. Sein Engagement für die queere Szene wurde wiederholt gewürdigt, unter alles mit dem Bavarian Meritorden – fell more in the free state.

Pissoir with Porträt

Die Runde with Roman Stefka ends at Holzplatz. Here Freddie Mercury has a great home with Barbara Valentin. And this person is always looking for the “best toilet house from Munich”. A few years later, see a portrait of an octagonal pavilion from the 1900s. Daneben: the young, nor bartlose Albert Einstein and Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Everything is possible with the Glockenbachviertel Verunden. It has become a Freddie-Mercury-Straße, but Stefka has still moved on and in his memory the Ruhmesblatt has disappeared. “The end of a Hinterhof and Mülltonnen, that’s what you have to do.”

Below you will find Freddie Mercury in “Hilton” in the English Garten, behind the Tür with the number 1104 in 11. Stock. The most important thing is that it is in the bag, it is the President’s Suite. When one of the singers got the idea for the song “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” in 1979 – ​​his first song became a hit from Queen in the US.

Because the band was productive in Munich, the Musicland Studios were one of the first addresses for Plattenaufnahmen in Europe. When he came into the movie «Bohemian Rhapsody», Herbert said «Herbi» Hauke, with a visit to the «Rock-History Guru».

Munich is liberal in New York City

There was a war with Konzert von Queen Dabei in 1974. Behind the stage sits a kurzer Dialog with Mercury, Hauke ​​​​verlorbende Worte über Munich. Mercury, while we all think of the city as a liberal liberal galt in New York or Amsterdam, is a citizen of the world who is unreliable because of the rule over the konnte.
