Local legend claims that the Munich cathedral, also known as Frauenkirche, was built with the help of the devil. The devil offered his help to the young architect Jörg von Halspach, but in return the church was not allowed to have any windows. The devil thought that if the church was dark, no one would visit and that humans would waste their resources and time on building such a monumental church that would never be used.

But when the church was done and the devil came to visit, he saw that there was still light in the church, even though he couldn’t see any windows from the point where he was standing. He had been tricked and stomped his feet into the ground, so that to this day you can still see the devil’s footprint in the church entrance.

After Michael Jackson died, fans created an unofficial, fan-made memorial in front of the hotel where he used to stay whenever he visited Munich. Today, two fan groups are responsible for keeping the memorial alive in memory of the King of Pop.
