Neubiberg
On my frequent trips to Germany during the 1980s I usually stayed at the Penta Hotel in the center of Munich proper. But on one occasion, I arrived there just as Octoberfest was getting underway. There was not a hotel room available within miles of the city so I started searching desperately for a place to stay. At that time Neubibert was almost at the end of the S-Bahn, south-east of the city,[i]I presume there was once a village named Biberg (to drink – from Latin), and having been destroyed in the War, was probably renamed Neubibert after the Allies rebuilt it. That is a guess on my part since I have not done the research. so I was able to get there by rail.
The hotel, which probably had a name, was a three-story solid poured-in-place concrete building, resembling a Nebraska grain elevator or a World War Two ammunition depot. There was no sign on the front, no parking lot, very few windows, and little in the way of evidence that it might be a Gasthof inside.
