Munich landmarks and businesses see new developments

The historic Sussmann-Kiosk, a glass pavilion once located at Munich Central Station, has been preserved by five architects. Originally slated for demolition during station renovations, the structure was relocated to the BR grounds in Freimann. It will now serve as a greenhouse and film set for the television program “Querbeet”. The project, which involved 350 hours of work by architects including Andreas Ferstl and Emily Grünecker, was funded by Deutsche Bahn for disassembly and relocation, and by BR for reconstruction.

In the culinary sector, the British pizzeria chain Pizza Pilgrims is expanding into Germany with its first location opening on Leopoldstraße in Munich. The brand, which is owned by the L’Osteria gastronomy group, features dough fermented for 72 hours and uses ingredients sourced from Italy. Following this opening, the company plans to open 50 more locations in the coming months, with a second Munich site scheduled for spring 2027.
