The True Founding Story

The Weinhaus Gisela

At around 21:30, eleven men stormed out of the inn in a fury — and moved on to the Weinhaus Gisela in Schwabing.

MTV members Ringler, Naegele, Zoepffel, Pollack, Fritz and Karl Wamsler, Schmid, Francke, Friederich, Focke and Franz John founded F.C. Bayern that very evening — with exactly eleven men. Among the founding members listed on the club's certificate was the sculptor Benno Elkan, then still unknown.
