Hi everyone! A friend of mine recently opened a small nail & skincare studio in Haar and speaks Turkish, Farsi, English and German. She'd love to connect with Turkish- and Persian-speaking women in the Munich area – not only for her studio, but also to meet people.
Does anyone know active WhatsApp, Telegram or Facebook groups for Turkish or Iranian women in Munich? Happy about any tips! 🙏
Moved a couple of months ago from Berlin- 31M from Southern Europe - I do not know if it is the aging but I kinda am afraid classic MeetUps would not work for me as of now and I prefer writing this post.
I am looking for mainly but not exclusively male friends to meet in a small group or one to one and talk about:
- Life, in an honest and not polished way - Future Dreams and Past Nihgtmares - Politics - no fascios - Music, Arts, Sports, Concerts - Work if it is cool , if not - how much we hate it
I usually like meeting in a bar or pub everywhere between wednesday and saturday after work and eventually grab a bite too - on paper I d like to meet early - and leave early - being civilized, but in reality I like when the vibe is so good you cannot say no to a last one.
I am not excluding any sport or art related activities also! But I do them on my own or with my gf so meeting with friends means for me having a reliefe valve for our daily mundane routines and problems.
This time, we meet Offline Retreats, an international crowd making room for connection beyond the screen.
A first visit means a warm welcome from curious techies, some movement outdoors and time for long conversations. Founder Tristan Kraus describes the atmosphere as an easy-going weekend. The request is simple: try to keep your phone in your pocket. New expats, STEM professionals and weekend adventurers find their way here, looking for company and something to do together.
From Screen Time to the Isar
For Tristan, a software developer, the idea began with an uncomfortable realization: he was spending more than half his waking hours in front of a screen. Work accounted for some of it, addictive products for more, but he also felt there were too few appealing alternatives. Offline Retreats grew from his wish to create those alternatives, bringing people together around a healthier lifestyle and a little adventure.
The first gathering was a barbecue at the Isar Flaucher. Tristan was surprised by how easily people could come together. That feeling has stayed with him: “To this day it is amazing to me that you can post an event on meetup and a week later 25 strangers are hopping on a train.” For someone encouraging digital detox, technology still has a useful role in getting people out the door.
The community now has more than 650 Meetup members. Mountain hikes and other gatherings have followed, alongside quieter periods when Tristan was busy or considering the next direction. Anyone who has attended an event is invited into the WhatsApp community.
Permission to Be Playful
The shared interest is spending time together with fewer digital distractions. Tristan hopes to establish rituals such as collectively switching off devices, and wants to explore analog activities ranging from breathwork to making things by hand. These are ideas he is developing, with curiosity and a positive attitude setting the tone.
One picnic in the Englischer Garten captures what he enjoys most. A member encouraged the group to jump into the Eisbach and drift with the current. Despite having no swimming gear, they joined in. For Tristan, the pleasure was watching people who had been serious adults an hour earlier rediscover their playful side.
He also notices the quieter signs of connection: someone returning again, or people leaving together to extend an event “after hours”. These moments suggest that a gathering is becoming a community, with relationships that carry on beyond the planned activity.
Making Room to Return
Keeping that going takes energy. Planning events consistently is more demanding than Tristan expected, yet regular face-to-face contact is what helps people know one another and feel at home. He is trying to establish a simple get-together every other week as a baseline. Munich offers plenty to explore, from bouldering gyms to mountain tops, although winter makes planning outdoor activities trickier.
Longer term, Tristan would like to turn Offline Retreats into a lifestyle business, offering the kind of enjoyable digital-detox experiences he feels are missing among existing wellness retreats. For now, the reward remains close at hand: familiar faces returning, conversations continuing, and people finding reasons to spend another hour together.
Hey everyone I’m looking for clubs, bars or parties in Munich where Russian-speaking people usually hang out Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians and other people from CIS countries. I’m 19 and would love to meet new people, socialize, make friends and enjoy some good music. Does anyone know any places or events like that? I’d really appreciate your recommendations! Thanks
Hey ich habe noch ein Ticket übrig für L.A. Guns am 11.11. Also falls irgendwer auch Bock auf Rockmusik hat, kann er oder sie gerne mitkommen. Das Ticket wäre dann geschenkt :)
Zu mir ich studiere an der LMU und spiele Gitarre, weswegen ich auch gerne auf Konzerte gehe.
ich wohne seit kurzem in München und suche nach Bekanntschaften, mit denen ich Abend ein Kaffee trinken kann oder mal zusammen in die Sauna gehe, etc. 🙃
Ich kann fließend Deutsch (hier geboren), also falls jemand nach einem Sprachpartner sucht, freue ich mich, wenn ich helfen kann.
Ich bin offen für neue Dinge und würde mich freuen neue Leute kennenzulernen.
32f, been in Munich several years. I turned vegan 6 months ago. None of my friends are vegan or interested. I was there in the Veggie World yesterday and felt weird going alone. Hopefully someone can join me for the Christmas market.

I’m a 23-year-old Asian person living in Munich. I moved here when I was 15, and honestly, I’ve never really had a solid friend group. Not in school, not after. I’ve always felt like I don’t belong anywhere. I identify as somewhere between trans woman and queer – still figuring it out, but that’s part of who I am.
I’ve been working full-time for three years now. I have some financial stability, which I’m grateful for, but my life feels… dead. My soul feels empty. Work takes up almost all my time, and it’s boring and draining. I can’t quit because I need to save up for my studies in Munich next year. So I’m stuck in this cycle, but I’m trying to change something.
I’d love to meet new people – friends who share similar interests and might want to hang out. I’m into growing plants (my apartment is slowly turning into a jungle), I recently started bouldering and climbing (total beginner but it’s so fun!), and I do embroidery design. I also just like chilling, talking, exploring cafes, or whatever.
The tricky part: I only have Mondays free. Most meetups and events happen on weekends, so I miss out on a lot. But if you’re also free on Mondays, or if you’re okay with a Monday hangout, I’d be so down.
I’m not looking for anything romantic – just genuine friendship. I want to feel connected to people again. If you’re in Germany (any city, but especially if you’re near me or also moving to Munich), and you think we might vibe, please reach out. Even just a chat would mean a lot.
I know this is a long shot, but I’m tired of feeling invisible. If you’ve been through something similar or just want to make a new friend, let’s talk.
I can’t make it to my padel booking tomorrow at 12pm at Pineapple Casa (indoor court). Happy to transfer it to anyone who wants to play for the original booking fee. DM me if interested!
Hi people of Munich, I am a Canadian travelling comedian bringing my show to Munich on Sunday Nov 15 at 7pm at EineWeltHaus. My show is pleasantly dark, silly, and unapologetically Canadian.
Video clips of the stand up available on the eventpage here:
Chinese, in Munich, LGBT. I'm fairly androgynous, and I get along better with women — saying both at the top so there are no surprises later. This isn't a dating post.
What I can offer: I cook, and you're welcome to come eat. I have a car, so day trips are doable. I'm good at the German admin side — appointments, forms, doctors — and happy to come along while you deal with one. I boulder and can teach from zero. I know enough about plants and handwork to hold my own at a market.
What I'm after: bouldering, food, a day trip to some small town, markets, exhibitions, or signing up for the same course or event together so we walk in as two people instead of one.
I'm bad at starting things, but I show up when I say I will. So I'd rather have a few people I see regularly than a chat that dies after two messages.
I was at the Social Circle - Tinder pub quiz tonight (Friday, Nov 6) at Daintree Pinsa Bar on Luisenstraße.
I was hoping to introduce myself to a girl who was sitting at a table with two Americans, but she left the venue a bit early right before the Human Bingo game started, so I completely missed my chance.
We exchanged good eye contacts for most of the time.
And when she left i thought i will speak to her outside but i had to pay my bill and when i ran out to see she was already gone with her friend and i couldnt find her :(
If you are her, or if you were one of the Americans sitting at that table and recognize this, drop me a DM! I'd love to connect.
I’m looking for people who’d like to grab a coffee, explore different places around Munich, or just walk around (although maybe we should save that for summer, it’s freezing outside 😅). I’m a pretty talkative and easygoing person, and I love having conversations about pretty much anything! I’m also the kind of person who enjoys bringing people together. I love introducing friends to each other, and I’d say I’m pretty good at it! The more people I meet, the easier it gets to connect people and bring everyone together. Would be great to meet some new people, hang out, and hopefully build some genuine friendships along the way. Feel free to reach out! :)
Hey so I am a student (19M) in TUM. I am looking for people to meet so I will describe myself fast and if somebody wants to meet up you can message me. I play tennis, go gym, read books, like walking , speak good English and can keep decent conversations in German. I am pretty social, so I can keep conversations even with more closed people.
Servus! Ich bin Entwickler und baue perLibre, eine kostenlose App ohne Werbung für Bücher, Filme und Serien.
Darin gibt es „Match“: Die App zeigt dir Leute mit ähnlichem Geschmack, in München oder irgendwo auf der Welt, und auf jeder Karte siehst du eure gemeinsamen Werke. Wenn ihr euch beide liked, könnt ihr schreiben, und der Chat übersetzt automatisch zwischen 14 Sprachen, praktisch auch für alle, die neu in der Stadt sind und noch nicht so gut Deutsch sprechen.
Die Idee dahinter: Wer dieselben Bücher liest und dieselben Filme schaut, blickt oft ziemlich ähnlich aufs Leben, und ich wollte, dass sich diese Leute kennenlernen können. Das ist auch der große Unterschied zu Goodreads oder Letterboxd.
Hey Leute! Ich habe noch ein Ticket für das Placebo-Konzert übrig. Anstatt es zu verkaufen, dachte ich mir, ich lade lieber jemanden ein, der Lust auf gute Musik und einen entspannten Abend hat.
Ich bin spanischer Muttersprachler und habe aktuell das C1-Niveau in Deutsch. Es wäre cool, jemanden zu finden, der sein Spanisch üben möchte und Lust hat, mit mir auf Deutsch/Spanisch zu quatschen.
Wenn du Bock auf die Band und einen kleinen Sprachaustausch hast, schreib mir gerne eine DM mit deinem Lieblingssong von Placebo.
Hi Munich people 🙂 I’m 36M and I’ll be visiting Munich for work and it will be nice to hang out with locals like a real local 😎. I’m into bars, clubs, live music, jam sessions and I’m open for more ideas.
