Munich is Germany's third largest city and the capital of the federal state of Bavaria. Munich is best known as the home of Bayern München F.C., Germany's leading exponent of football. It is also a centre of brewing, with the Löwenbräu, Spaten, and HB brands being particularly notable.
In 1919, following Germany's defeat in the First World War, the city was briefly a Communist utopia. In 1923, it was the scene of the beer hall Putsch that failed to bring Adolf Hitler's NSDAP to power.
