The population of Munich is 1,408,165 people (October 31, 2011). Thus, it is the largest city in Bavaria and the third, after Berlin and Hamburg, city in Germany. The government of Bavaria, the government of the Upper Bavaria region, and the government of the Munich district are located in Munich.
Munich is famous for its brewing traditions. The city is home to six large breweries that supply beer for the world-famous Oktoberfest - a festival of beer, pretzels, fried chicken and carousels, held annually in late September - early October on Terezin Meadow.
Modern Munich is not only a center of cultural and museum values, but also a major industrial and research center. Thanks to famous universities, one of the largest Bavarian State Library in Europe with 6 million volumes, the Max Planck and Heinz Mayer-Leibniz Institutes, a nuclear research reactor and many other institutions, Munich maintains a strong position in European science.
