Munich
Munich (, ;
Austro-Bavarian
: Minga.) is the capital of the
German
state
of
Bavaria
and a
Gamma World City
.Munich is
Germany
's third largest
city
. The city has a population of about 1.3 million (
as of 2006
) and the
Munich Metropolitan Region
is home to around 6 million people. Munich is located on the River
Isar
north of the
Bavarian Alps
.The city's
motto
was "Die Weltstadt mit Herz" (The global city with a heart) for a long time but has recently been replaced by "München mag dich" (Munich loves you). Its native name, München, stems from an
Old German
word predating the word "Mönche" of today's
High German
, meaning "
Monks
". Therefore, the figure on
Munich's coat-of-arms
is a monk, and is referred to as the
Münchner Kindl
, the child of Munich. Black and gold - the colors of the
Holy Roman Empire
- have been the city's official colors since the time of
Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor
.
