The birthplace of success: In 1900, the FC Bayern Munich club was founded in the former Café Gisela, which was located at a corner on Kardinal-Döpfner-Strasse in Munich – at the current location of Siemens Headquarters. To commemorate the place of origin for this club, which holds the record for the most championships in Germany’s top professional soccer league, Joe Kaeser and Uli Hoenes jointly unveiled a stele that marks this historic site.
