Fürstenfeldbruck, Germany

Capital City

With a population of just 38,187, Fürstenfeldbruck is a sleepy Bavarian town that offers little in the way of cosmopolitan excitement. The former Luftwaffe air base is now home to the German Air Force, though its dark history as the site of the tragic 1972 Munich Olympics massacre still casts a shadow. While the town boasts a picturesque Cistercian abbey and scenic riverside location, bureaucratic headaches and the ever-present shadow of the military base are persistent realities. This is a place for those seeking a quiet, provincial German lifestyle, but little else.
