The high cost of living in Munich grates on many people’s nerves. A ZDF documentary now shows that even a full-time job brings in enough money for one’s own apartment.
Munich – When Stephan (51) wants to cook after work, it’s a bit like camping. Crockery and cutlery are stored, a selection of Munich in his room. Carry things on equipment in a sterile kitchen. Stjepan is storing food in a cabinet in the refrigerator. He locks. He felt at home here, he says in the documentary series 37 Grad (ZDF). It’s not because Stephan doesn’t have an apartment.

Korinna has now accepted a part-time job. She wants to keep fighting, to be strong. However, constant cancellations wear down. “Sometimes you lose hope. When I’m alone, sometimes I cry.”

Today, he is much better in the month he has, thanks to the hard work of 1,500 euros. Hundreds of applications he has already written – just give up.
