Miniland, Munich
Miniland is a huge HO scale model railway layout in Munich, Germany. The trains are controlled by a digital control system and the airport has takeoff and landing simulations by model aircraft. The sand tables used are some of the largest in the world. Various German landscapes are miniaturized including the Ruhr area, Zugspitze and the Zugspitze railway. An added feature is the simulation of day and night at regular intervals.
Munich is the capital and largest city of the German state of Bavaria, on the banks of River Isar north of the Bavarian Alps. Munich is the third largest city in Germany, after Berlin and Hamburg and the 12th biggest city of the European Union with a population of above 1.5 million. The Munich Metropolitan Region is home to 5.8 million people. The city is a major centre of art, advanced technologies, finance, publishing, culture, innovation, education, business and tourism in Germany and Europe and enjoys a very high standard and quality of living, reaching No 1 in Germany and No 4 worldwide according to the 2015 Mercer survey. 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 Town of Munich; hence the monk depicted on the city's coat of arms. Munich was first mentioned in 1158. From 1255 the city was seat of the Bavarian Dukes. Black and gold—the colours of the Holy Roman Empire—have been the city's official colours since the time of Ludwig the Bavarian, when it was an imperial residence.
