MayDay 2024

1st of may = 1. mai = international workers day = may day = mayday => 

a) for the coverage of the may day history (chicago 1886) please jump to the very end of my last year's post

b) there were 3 protests / demos / celebrations in munich:

• rindermarkt = youth worker unions like FAU => pro peace & pro palestine & against israeli genocide & against the conservative + nationalist AFD party & against capitalism & ... => my conclusion? MayDay4Palestine, like almost all over the world today 💖
• marienplatz = mainstream dominated, only the biggest labor unions, pro government, pro NWO, pro higher wages, pro social fairness, ... at least there were also few old communists & marxists groups who stood pro peace and pro solidarity among workers and nations ... => not a single palestinian flag out there despite the genocide against a whole nation happening live in front of our eyes and in front of all world's eyes. the ukrainian + israeli flags hanging at the town hall even underlined the hypocrisy of germany's current government & mainstream media & mainstream opinion ... => so sad 😓
• karlsplatz = exile iranians against the mullah regime
• königsplatz = nothing today, i was wrong, i should go to the odeonsplatz
• odeonsplatz = libertarians from MSA (münchen steht auf) movement established in 2020 against the unlawful corona measures => pro peace with russia & against NATO & against german government & pro freedom for assange & ...

two of us celebrating may day aka workers day ... 

me in my old OccupyWallStreet t-shirt 😃

what happend in the streets of the world today? MayDay4Palestine, MayDay, police against workers + police against people in paris / stuttgart / london / istanbul (here have the demonstrants beaten the police) / ... peaceful demos in munich / ireland / colombia (president gustavo petro declares that colombia cuts ties with israel over war on gaza), cuba, russia brazil, ... 

~~~

today on TWITTER (elon musk's X): Police are the enemy of the people. All over the world. ... You're watching French cops brutally attacking workers at the #MayDay celebrations in #Paris this afternoon. Cops ain't workers. Cause oppressing people ain't a job. #antireport #ACAB

Hail #MayDay! 01/05/2024 Worldwide: Police clash with labor unions at the May Day parade in Paris. German police used pepper gas & truncheons against activists at a May Day demonstration in Stuttgart. On May Day, over 1,000 workers blockadef the UK Trade Department in London.

=> workers of the world unite against the so called 'elites' & governments & police cops 

enjoy few pictures from peaceful demos in munich:

... coming soon ...

conclusion? our western governments and their small dirty police & military are our real enemies ...  => how to overthrow them and replace with nothing, so that without any 'leaders' could the people live in brotherhood & peace? any ideas out there?

fockenstein, 1564m ~ hiking in bavaria, BY

my father visits me in munich for a week, so it's tme for hiking + drinking beer in tourists locations, isnt it? 

last time in we have enjoyed a winter hiking tour at lake spitzingsee. this time we have'd really good luck with the weather conditions as it was sunny and +25 degrees celsius🌞 for 2 days. then the next 2 weeks again rainy & snowy with temperatures between +10 and -1 degrees ⛄

the object of our dreams today were the auer alm 1270m + the fockenstein mountain 1564m. we've started from the hikers' parking slot in the söllbachtal valley in bad wiessee at lake tegernsee. our total attitude was 804 height metres. not bad for two that untrained fellows like us, wouldnt you say?

fockenstein, 1564m

way up: söllbach hikers' parking area at 760m in bad wiessee, söllbach creek valley (söllbachklause), auer alm cottage 1270m, fockenstein 1564m.

way down: fockenstein, auer alm, zeiselbach creek, sonnenbichl alm, söllbachtal parking.

what about bavarian beer 🍻 this time? well, we have visited:

• the oldest guesthouse in the munich area - the alter wirt in obermenzing (since 1417)
• beergarden at lake langwieder see
• the augustiner cellar, hackerbrücke

=> so i'll update that pictures in my bavarian bavarian beer blog from last november, shouldn't i?

zugspitze, DE-BY, 2963m

there were plus 27°C in munich this early april and we have decided to feel the real winter at the snowy zugspitze (2963m), instead. just to close my above average skiing season accordingly, you know? btw, you still remember my sellaronda & plose experience in soouth tirol earlier this year? ☃

i've been skiing at zugspitze in early february, too. thus there will be few older pictures as well. will you call the difference? 😄

view from the zugspitze to the south. it is still in bavaria, but the

distant mountains on the right side behind are already in tirol (austria).

the church of grainau => left to right: alpspitze, waxenstein, zugspitze.

waxenstein is in the front, so this massif looks even bigger than its

two much higher fellows. lets call it the wonder of perspective 😇

up there today
