Key FactsDOSB selects Munich for Germany’s Olympic bid

- The DOSB delegates voted for Munich on Saturday in Baden-Baden; representatives of 42 Olympic sports federations were eligible to vote.
- Germany will therefore apply to the IOC to host the Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games in 2036, 2040 or 2044.
- After Berlin withdrew, Cologne-Rhine-Ruhr remained Munich’s only national rival; a close result had been expected.
- Munich’s emphasis on 1972, compact Games, sustainability and possible reuse of most venues apparently resonated with delegates.
I think that we should not simply repeat the Olympic Games of 1972. We should show Germany today — reunified, strong and modern.— Manuela Schwesig, Minister-President of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, during the discussion of the Cologne-Rhein-Ruhr 'East-West' concept; cited in the article about Munich's bid.
