The city was founded next to the settlement of Monchenum (Monachium) by Henry Wilf, known as the Lion, the Duke of Saxony and Bavaria. The village grew next to St. Peter's Church next to the bridge, built by Henry on the Isar River. After about two decades, Munich became a city and was fortified. In 1255 it became the seat of several princes and in 1314 was taken by King Ludwig IV, which was crowned in 1328 to become a caesarean. He made several improvements to Munich and the city grew up in his reign quickly. Munich became the capital of Bavaria in 1506. In later decades, Munich became an important center of the Renaissance and a center for the struggle against religious reform in Germany initiated by Martin Luther. In the midst of the wars that took place following the schism in the Church, the Swedish (Lutheran) forces occupied Munich in 1632. This, along with the plague that spread in the city later, had an impact on the population growth in the city as it lost third of its population. After the end of the Thirty Years War 1648, Munich recovered quickly and the Italian Baroque construction began to spread. After the alliance of Tsar Maximilian II with France, Spanish troops occupied the city 1704 for several years under the Habsburgs rule.

For example, its population in 1701was about 24,000, in 1871 it was 170,000 people, and in 1933 the population was 840,000 people. The real builder of Munich was King Ludwig II, who ruled from 1825 to 1848.He made the city an important commercial and cultural center in Europe.
After the end of the First World War, Munich lived one of its worst periods throughout the ages, paving the way for the emergence of a radical right-wing thinker, later known as Nazi thought. Right-wing leader Adolf Hitler took over the chancellery in Germany in 1933. Hitler declared the city of Munich in 1935 as "the capital of the movement." Large parts of the city were destroyed during the Second World War, but in the 1950s and 1960s Munich was rebuilt and rapidly grew into a city with a population of over one million.
