From Los Angeles to Rosenheim is a long way, but such a worthy track.
– U.S. Munich Consul General Robert Tribble
Presently the Lokschuppen (German for engine shed), an event and conference centre in the Bavarian city of Rosenheim, is showing an exhibition of the North American Natives from their very first times on the continent up to their social living conditions in the modern age.
The visitor already gets some initial impressions on the side of the Federal Highways southbound Munich like this:
Somehow the official poster design conveys the stereotype impression of The Noble Savage. The “Winnetou” novel by German writer and autodidactic Western expert Karl May becomes appreciable – at least within different promotional teasers and marketing text material on the exhibition. And as a kind of reception committee, nearby Lokschuppen, within the semicircular forecourt, a couple of oversized first nations’ tipis are shown.
Although entertainment zone begins right here: The entire entrance area looks more than a main station concourse than an ethnological exhibition – an inevitable shop, selling specially designed Indian bread, the lively crowded “Café Lok“, and seperated reception lines daily awaiting the visitors’ stampede.
However, after accessing the exhibition, the visitor instantly dips into initial times of settlement on the Western hemisphere. Due to different cultural orientation, major areas of population, and living environment, the exhibtion set-up brings emphasises like the Sioux and the Comanche nations at the prairie, Iroquois in the forests and aside the rivers, Apache at the southern plains, and the Inuit at Greenland. The entire compilation was curated outstandingly by Univ-Prof Dr Christian Feest, Director at The Museum of Ethnology, Vienna, jointly with a team of project planner, architects and graphic designers.
– Professor Feest said:
The particular of the […] exhibition is that it is not an Indian exhibition in a narrow sense. […] Some things are far from the prospect which one today has about the Native American.
In addition to the regular exhibition the program offers – hourly – guided tours, specials for school children as well as for teacher.
The exhibition center is located in the city of Rosenheim between Munich, Germany, north, Salzburg, east, and Innsbruck, both Austria, south. Since years, the Lokschuppen has become well-known for popular as well as scientific exhibitions on various main topics, e.g. spices (2010), and prehistorical dinosaurs (2009). In 1998 this old coach-house for locomotives was converted into one of the largest exhibition halls of Upper Bavaria.

The enormous economical impact of the 10-day-event can be seen at the infographic below, based on details from last year:

Hi there:
As you may have noticed, within the last days we translated the regular items of Munich Web Week into English language. But it is not just about that.
Munich Web Week will change its agenda to become an international social web event hub, still with the Bavarian Prussian German editorial impact. We decided to bring our blog to another stage of quality, i.e. in the upcoming future the well-known calendar will adress substantially more aspects of real-world actions and offline meeting hubs.
– Why?
As you already have recognized, in and around Munich including Southern / Upper Bavaria region takes places a growing number of on-going and single event highlights during the year.
But with the approach to cover relevant meetings – yes, we still focus only on relevant social web conferences, barcamps and parties after-event discussions! – we finally have to understand that the input throughout the annaul schedule is limited.
As seen from 2009 until now, we integrated a rising number of European and global announcings on upcoming social web events and conferences. Today, these schedule items can be sum up significantly to more than a half of the Munich Web Week coverage, yet.
But don’t worry – we are still the same guys and the local heroes will stay still the same.
We are looking forward to get your impressions about this, let’s say marginal shift.
Stay tuned, thanks for listening reading and have fun here!
– Yours,
Munich Web Week Editors
