Munich, Germany.
Day Two. In the evening we headed in a different direction in search of two other Christmas markets. The first one was at Sendlinger Tor. Then we wandered up and down that area looking for the Pink Market. Which we found eventually!
The Pink Market is exactly what it says ... very pink! It's wild and has a fun atmosphere, with a DJ playing Christmas music loud. The gluhwein comes in rainbow glasses, and the food was delicious.

Siegfried "Sigi" Sommer (born 23 August 1914 in Munich ; died 25 January 1996 in Munich) was a German writer and journalist.
At the age of 81, Sigi Sommer died after a long period of suffering in the Rinecker Clinic in Munich and was buried in the Neuhauser Winthir Cemetery in Munich (grave no. 4-5-5). In his hometown of Munich, he was honoured with a life-size bronze statue by the sculptor Max Wagner, which shows him as a stroller with a newspaper under his right arm. The statue, donated by the publishing family RS Schulz, stands in the pedestrian zone at Roseneck in Rosenstraße and was unveiled on 28 July 1998. In 2009, the square in front of his parents' house at Bruderhofstraße 43 in Munich was renamed " Sigi-Sommer-Platz " by the city of Munich on the initiative of his cousin Helga Lauterbach-Sommer.

The Rindermarktbrunnen (Cattle market fountain) is a modern sculpture in the historical Altstadt of Munich, in Bavaria, Germany. It was created in 1964 by Munich sculptor and professor of the Munich Academy Josef Henselmann in the course of the reorganisation of the cattle market. The fountain was sponsored by Gunther Henle.
With his designs Henselmann observed the historical function of the square as an area of cattle trade and as an area for the cattle there to drink, which existed until into the 19th century. Out of Gneiss he created a terraced fountain scene on the lightly sloping site. The irregularly formed basin of the fountain in the centre of the work imitates the idea of a naturally formed puddle or pool.
The fountain is crowned by a powerful set of bronzeworks above the steps. It shows three cattle which look down from their position onto people resting at the base of the fountain. Slightly aside is the stone figure of an observing herdsman sitting on a retaining wall.
The fountain is covered in winter, but you can just make out the cattle on top.
Then we U-Bahned over to the Sendlinger Tor another of the four Medieval gates. This one is better than Isartor, but after seeing gates that were about fourteen centuries older in Verona, these kinda pale in comparison.
