List of honorary citizens of Munich

October 27, 2023

The honorary citizenship (Ehrenbürgerrecht) is the highest decoration of the city of Munich.[1] Since 1881, 49 people have been awarded honorary citizenship. The honorary citizenships of Paul von Hindenburg, Franz Ritter von Epp, Franz Xaver Schwarz, Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göring were revoked in 1946.

The honorary citizenship is awarded in recognition of outstanding contributions to the city of Munich. It is not restricted to people living in Munich. A posthumous grant is not allowed. It is a symbolic honour; the recipient does not receive any rights, privileges or duties.[1]
