Deutsche eiche münchen gay sauna
I’ve talked about Bathhouse Basics before… but I want to saturate you in on my *new* fave bathhouse/gay sauna &#; located in Munich.
I&#;ve been to bathhouses all over the world (I make it a gesture to visit one in each city I visit) but walking through the doors of famous Deutsche Eiche, I could feel the sense of history within its walls. The wind was warm, inviting, and just a little bit electric. Ok, maybe that was the steam&#;
An iconic gay establishment
Deutsche Eiche is spread on 16, square feet over 4 floors. It boasts a stunning Finnish sauna, a salt sauna, a large whirlpool jacuzzi, a rooftop winter garden, several TV rooms, relaxation rooms, massage rooms, a solarium, and a packed menu restaurant and bar.
Not only this, the bathhouse is particularly beautiful and smells like a wellness spa- which I can&#;t say for other bathhouses I&#;ve been too.
I learned that this hotel (where I am staying as a guest) has been in existence since In addition, the Deutsche Eiche has been a rendezvous place for gay activists since the s.

Hotel Facilities
The Deutsche Eiche (‘The German Oak’) was built in That same year, the year-old King Ludwig II ascended the throne of the Kingdom of Bavaria.
Around , the second city wall was torn down, and Munich started to expand towards the north of the city (the remains of the fortifications can still be seen at Isartor, Karlstor and Sendlinger Tor). The area around the current Gärtnerplatz was also proposed for town expansion due to its proximity to Viktualienmarkt, the City Hall, and the major churches. However, frequent flooding of the River Isar delayed construction in the district until , when the riverbanks were fortified and most of the streams running through the city were built over to ensure flood protection. For the first time in the city’s history, blocks of flats were constructed in rows and had shared side walls, prefer terraced houses, resulting in a very dense urban landscape. This architectural density is particularly clear in the summer, when the buildings store heat and the temperature in the Gärtnerplatz quarter is markedly higher than in the sur
Just what are the strongholds of the gay scene in Germany? The funky city of Cologne: of course; dark, glistening Berlin: sure thing. But Munich?

Sure, some come for the versatile spa landscape, quite possibly the most beautiful in Munich. But most visitors come to enjoy speedy and uncomplicated sex here.
