Mini-Munich is moving into the parcel post hall: a new adventure for children!

The popular children's project Mini-Munich will begin its new activities in the parcel post hall in 2024, which will serve as the newest venue. As the South German newspaper reports, the project, which has existed since 1979 and takes place every two years, is used by the children for three weeks during the summer holidays. Up to 2,000 enthusiastic children can playfully recreate the administration of a city and get a taste of different professions.

The decision for the parcel post hall was not a coincidence. This special location is in the heart of Neuhausen, and the restaurateur Michael Kern made it available for Mini-Munich. A sub-lease agreement secures the project on favorable terms, which means the News Munich remember. Clemens Baumgärtner, the CSU mayoral candidate, and Alexandra Gaßmann, CSU city councilor, emphasize the importance of this project for children, especially for those who have fewer family vacation options. Mini-Munich is highlighted as a place of living democracy where the youngest are introduced to society in a playful way.

A meeting place for everyone

In addition to Mini-Munich, investor Ralf Büschl is planning to build two impressive towers that will be 155 meters high next to the parcel post hall. His goal is to transform the area into a central meeting place for all age groups. As stadtteildetektive.de notes in an article, there is currently a growing gap in the living space of many children. Their experiences are often limited to small, isolated “islands” in urban areas, which can lead to alienation.

The “StadtteilDetektive” project aims to overcome this isolation and help children better understand their living space. It addresses how important it is for children to explore and understand their surroundings before diving into the “big city”. This not only promotes the awareness of being a citizen of the city, but also strengthens social bonds and a sense of community.

A valuable holiday offer

Overall, it shows that Mini-Munich is much more than a simple gaming event. It offers a platform that supports children's personal development, develops their creativity and enables them to take on responsibility. Looking back at the time in the Olympic Park, where it took place until 2012, the resettlement of Mini-Munich in the parcel post hall is an important step to ensure the continuation of this valuable program for the next few years.

With a clear concept and a committed team, Mini-Munich 2024 will offer new space for small city residents and at the same time show appreciation and support for projects that enrich the lives of children in Munich.
