Im Loch

Towards the end of the 19th century, in a cellar on the corner of our block, the first women’s café in Munich opened. It was called the «Café Union», but was commonly known as «Im Loch» (‘at the hole’). Mostly female merchants and burgher’s wives gathered at the somewhat dark Kaffeehaus. It was in business until the end of WWI, and has since been destroyed.
