The idea behind this book has a long history. It was inspired less by my academic work than by my family life and side jobs. It is the result of living in and moving between urban and rural neighborhoods as a child, teenager, and student. Growing up in the 1980s, my family lived in inner-city Munich; like most families there, we lived in a small apartment. Gentrification has a much longer history in Munich than in Berlin. Our neighborhood began experiencing gentrification in the early 1980s, and it is now one of the most expensive areas in Munich. The lack of space is one reason why we, like many people in Munich, spent a lot of time in beer gardens. There, my parents, my younger sister, and I made many friends. We would meet old friends and make new ones, drinking and eating along the common tables or playing at the beer gardens’ playgrounds in the afternoons and evenings. When my mother became pregnant with my second sister and we couldn’t find a larger and affordable apartment in the city, my family moved to a smaller town outside of Munich. There, my parents bought a house with a garden in a neighborhood that consisted of single-family houses on one side of the street and public housing complexes on the other.Despite the larger residential space, my family and I struggled to get to know our neighbors and make friends. Most people spent their leisure time with friends and relatives in their homes, enjoying their private gardens and terraces. And there were no beer gardens. Hence, lacking the beer gardens and cafés of Munich, it took much longer to make friends. In the absence of these public spaces, the nearby corner shop, a franchise grocery store, gradually became the place where we got to know the neighborhood, neighbors, local codes, and of course, hear a lot of gossip.
