Munich (München) is the
capital and largest city of the
German state of Bavaria, on
the banks of River Isar north

The name of the city is
derived from the Old/Middle
High German term Munichen,
meaning "by the monks". It
derives from the monks of the
Benedictine order who ran a
monastery at the place that
was later to become the Old

monk depicted on the city's
coat of arms
