Ich weis zwar nicht ob noch jemand an Bildern vom Denkmal interessiert ist, stelle sie aber trotzdem ein. Gesteren war ein wunderschöner, friedlicher und Michaeliger Tag den ich mit Mädels die ich schon so lange nicht mehr gesehen habe wie Rosi, Franziska, Sophie und Claudia genossen habe.

Weird and Offbeat Sites: The Michael Jackson Memorial in Munich.
You know how I love to discover weird and offbeat things when I travel. Like when I was in Budapest this past November, I took part in an interactive science fiction performance that involved me running on to a life-sized spaceship . The year before that while in Amsterdam, I spent a feline filled afternoon at a museum dedicated solely to cat art and a cat sanctuary on a boat. So you can imagine that I was absolutely thrilled when a friend offered to show me a site that she considered weird and offbeat a Michael Jackson memorial in Munich lovinglymaintained by crazed loyal fans.
Not surprisingly, Michael Jackson has fans the world over but whats more astonishing is the lengths that theyll go to keep the memory of their idol.
(Bild enthalten)
After the King of Pop died in June 2009, ardent fans set-up a makeshift memorial at the base of a statue honouring the Franco-Flemish Renaissance composer Orlande de Lassus.(Bild enthalten)It has since become a pilgrimage site for people to come and offer their respects to Michael Jackson. The memorials adorned with fresh flowers, candles, photographs and hand-written notes.(Bilder enthalten)The memorials been set-up across from the posh five-star hotel Bayerischer Hof, where Michael reportedly stayed and fortunately didnt create an uproar by dangling his child over a balcony like he did at the Hotel Adlon in Berlin.While fans have delighted in their fan worship, some locals feel that its an eyesore and theyve gone so far as to purposely plant bird feed around the memorial. According to locals pigeons descend upon it, overturning fan offerings and soiling expressions of eternal devotion to Jackson.(Bilder enthalten)Despite locals attempts to rid Munich of Michael, the memorial remains. In fact, fan Sandra Mazur has been campaigning the city to build a permanent statue in his honor and has collected donations to fund the project. Despite her efforts, city officials arent too keen on the idea saying Munich has a bad case of monument-itis.For now the memorial remains intact and while there you can look at some of the more extraordinary items left to Michael by his fans like Doris.(Bild enthalten)The German text inscribed on the heart in the photo below roughly translates to Youll live on in our hearts or What you have deep in your heart, will not be lost in death.(Bild enthalten)If youre a fan of the bad boy and would like to see a bronzed statue of him doing the moon-walk, head over to Sandras site where you can sign a petition, donate to the cause and spread the word via social media (shes actually set-up a non-profit association). And if you hate the idea of the memorial or the statue, you can always plant bird feed.
Love or hate it, this memorial is something worth checking out. It even got noticed by fellow travel enthusiast Rick Steves earlier this summer who could barely get through his video without laughing.

was war das für ein stets gefüllter viel begangener Thread.
Ich erinnerte mich neulich an die aktuellen Fotos, die wir zu sehen bekammen.
But every thing changes.
Mich interessiert in der Tat, wie sieht es dort heute aus?
Wird die Stätte noch gepflegt und beachtet?
