Munich in turmoil: Consumers are up to mischief in the city center!

In the city center of Munich, a group of counterfeiters causes excitement. The Kripo is already on the trail of the fraudsters, but it cannot prevent Irmi Bartl from falling into the hands of a fake 500 euro certificate. Unfortunately, these incidents are not new, because falsifications are repeated in the Bavarian capital that endanger the trust of citizens in the currency.

At the Viktualienmarkt, stand operator Elfi Pollinger has plans to reduce her kiosk. This awakens her colleague Xaver Bartl, who is worried about his future. At the same time, Sandor Malek, a ceremony, shows himself from his charming side and persuades Moni Riemerschmidt to eat with him, while Irmi spends planned time with Felix Kandler, on whom she has an eye.

Current challenges in the area

in the area is a certain unrest due to the pre -laid moving. In addition, Politesse Gerlinde is annoyed by two trucks, the construction manager Venice-Sepp parked in the ban on stopping. Such small dramas are part of everyday life in the lively city center of Munich, where the challenge of keeping order is often put to the test.

The gang of Sandor Malek is active and spent fake banknotes on dealers on the wholesale market. Such fraudulent machinations also have a historical dimension. A look at history shows that falsification of money has been a problem for centuries. The exhibition at Giesecke & Devrient, which shows fake banknotes from 200 years, impressively illustrates this. Among the exhibits is the oldest fake, an Austrian pencil drawing from 1805.

from the invention to fake

The history of falsification of money goes far back. The gifted counterfeit Günter Hopfinger, whose career began in 1950, initially experimented with car badges before he came to prison and discovered his artistic talent. His first counterfeits with watercolor paints and colored pencils brought him a certain celebrity. By 1975 he brought over 80 thousands in circulation and shows how creative and dangerous the world of counterfeiters can be.

Another example of historical counterfeits are the so -called "superdollars" that appeared in the 1990s. These counterfeits are even a challenge for the best specialists because they can imitate some characteristics really well - but often not the entire design. The exhibition "Real or wrong?" can bring a lot of light into the dark here and is accessible to interested parties from Monday to Friday.

Such insights into the history and the background of counterfeiting not only have educational aspects, but also great cultural importance. Everyday life in Munich has always been a melting pot of people and stories, all of which together result in an obvious narrative - one that shows how deep the fishing nets of crime and how strong the commitment of police and curious citizens in the fight against these machinations are
