In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus (film)

In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus is a German comedy film directed by Siegfried Breuer in 1951.

Berlin shortly after World War II: Otto Kackelmann runs a cola drink factory together with his wife.

Her mother Hermine immediately signs up as her companion, as the family has inheritance disputes to be settled in Munich.

Meanwhile, Otto meets Gustl's wife Therese in the Hofbräuhaus and entertains her with fictional tales of having visited Africa.

Lotte and Peter fall in love and Otto donates his company to Hermann Busch, who has been interested in marketing Ko-Ka-Ki.

The film premiered on 21 December 1951 in the Munich New Town Hall and was distributed among German cinemas from 24 January 1952.

"The couples Fita Benkhoff - Paul Kemp and Liels Karlstadt - Carl Wery constantly dish out old puns and time-tested tropes to promote Munich, the Oktoberfest, the Hofbräuhaus and 'associated imagery'", wrote Der Spiegel about the premiere.
