Join the association at the tower
Becoming a Member
Chinesischer Turm e.V. grew out of a regulars' table in the beer garden and became a registered Munich association in 2019 (VR 208108). Our mission: keeping Bavarian beer garden culture and the traditions at the Chinese Tower alive. Members carry that mission, and people join through personal contact.

Why join?
Because traditions survive only if someone keeps them alive. Members keep the monthly Stammtisch running, show up in Tracht at the Kocherlball, and build this website into the most detailed source about the tower. In return you get a standing table at one of Munich's finest places, a festive year with real highlights, and a say in everything the association does.
How it works
Come to the Stammtisch on the first Saturday of the month, in the afternoon, at the Chinese Tower beer garden, and get to know the people at the table; once both sides feel it fits, you submit an application and the board decides. Or write to hello@chinesischerturmev.de. If you would rather help out first and decide later, that is fine too; our get-involved page explains the options.
