The Chocolaterie Götterspeise: People-watching while drinking a coffee on the benches in front of the store café and eating a praline – it’s always a good idea! The perfect break on the way from gallery to gallery. https://www.goetterspeise-shop.de/

Around

The Glockenbachviertel

12. July 2025

There’s a lot going on in the Glockenbachviertel.
Great galleries are opening wonderful exhibitions for the Gallery Weekend from July 3-6. And if you haven’t signed up for the wonderful tour with Sibylle Oberschelp on July 4, we’ll give you tips for your own tour – with the gallery owners’ favorite places around the galleries.

In the Heitsch Gallery you can see Eike König, Die Präsenz des Abwesenden. A work from this exhibition is one of the selected works hanging in the Königssaal of the Opera during the Opera Festival taking place at the same time. The title of the work there is: A truth is a lie is a… (see above)

From the Heitsch Gallery, we walk down Reichenbachstraße to the Wolfgang Jahn Gallery, not without having had a cool drink in the Baardercafé first.

“The Baader Café has been a trendy meeting place for generations since 1985.”
Tanit Gallery

“Baader Café: café and evening café where you can meet many artists and art people.”
Nicole Gnesa

An exciting group exhibition with seven artist positions entitled H2O awaits us at the Wolfgang Jahn Gallery.

If we continue on to Nicole Gnesa Galerie, we pass the Tushita Teehaus in Klenzestraße. For a fine little tea break, they also serve excellent food.
At Nicole Gnesa’s gallery, Böhler & Orendt, Felix Burger and Sophia Süßmilch are showing a comprehensive installation-based exhibition between fiction and reality.

Continue past Götterspeise to Kunstraum München, where Franziska Nast’s exhibition ends on July 6, so hurry up.

Our last stop will be the Tanit Gallery in Reisingerstraße. Before that, we will definitely take a break at the Alter Südlicher Friedhof. What an oasis, in contrast to the crowded quarter and the many impressions we have gathered so far. Many famous Munich residents are buried here – such as the eternal rivals Leo von Klenze and Friedrich von Gärtner. King Ludwig I brought them both to Munich, where they played a decisive role in shaping the cityscape of today.

In the Tanit Gallery we see Michelangelo Pistoletto – an important representative of Arte Povera.

We end the evening in the Blauen Libelle, as Nicole Gnesa suggests: “Hip restaurant with hosts who are trained architects and designed the restaurant themselves.”
