At the beginning of September of 2015, the Middle East migrants started to reach Germany. Their first stop was Munich. This series contains a few snapshots inside the main train station (München Hauptbahnhof), where migrants were stranded. As Munich got overwhelmed by 60,000 migrants over only a few days, Munich bound rail service from Salzberg, Austria was finally suspended. I was lucky enough to able to get out of the home of the Von Trapp family right before Germany imposed border control. History does tend to repeat itself in different ways.
