THE BIRTH OF THE MUNICH UNDERGROUND
An embryo founder remembers

END OF THE 60's it also started in Munich. Those who dropped out were the first to offer an alternative to conventional life in Munich boredom, and they were soon joined by Musicians. They played the music for the protesting counter-movement. Slowly but surely, the village of Munich, which had until then floundered in trist provincial parochialism, was transformed into a boiling pot of rebellious alternative culture. The hippie barkers took a run-down building complex of empty barracks in the Ungererstraße. Their autonomous small state in the middle of the City they called "Paranoia Center." From now on the dropouts had a meeting place. And the Munich underground was born.
