Apple signs for flagship space in Munich
Apple has inked a deal with a Munich realtor for what will become the company's first retail outlet in Germany, a published report said MondayAccording to wiwo.de, the consumer electronics maker plans to turn a five-story building in Marienplatz into a four-story flagship retail shop.
An architect's rendering accompanying the report appears to show that renovations to the location at 1 Rosenstrasse, formerly home to Sport Schuster, will include an all-glass facade and suspended Apple logo above the main entranceway.
The store, which will reportedly open sometime in the second half of 2008, is said to be just one of approximately five Apple retail locations planned for Germany.
Other locations are expected in Berlin and Frankfurt.

I hope they find their way to Düsseldorf too!! Königsallee would be perfect
I'll be here for three more years! Let the Frankfurt store come quickly, and let them accept VAT forms!!!
That is the bestest place!! Prime space, very expensive, brilliant idea.
Yeah, Apple goes Germany, why took it so long?
5 Best Places? Munich, of course.
Frankfurt. Berlin. Hamburg. Köln (aka Cologne).
No particular order. 
Should be interesting. Germany is known to have some of the most competitive retail in the world. Trust me, the customers there will drive Apple's Genius Bar people completely nuts.

Uhm... can you explain a wee bit further, just curious...Germans are difficult customers to crack. Wal-Mart pulled out of Germany (not to mention China) because they couldn't adapt to the local way of doing business. If you took my barb personally, I apologize...
in other words: germans are not very pleasant people to have around. build the stores in austria instead! @ our northern neighbours
