The Münchner Tinde is a 2557 meter high mountain in the Greenland Stauning Alps . It is located east of the upper part of the Spærre glacier above the Plinganser Col pass.

The mountain got its name from the "German Greenland Expedition to the Staunings-Alpen" under the direction of Karl Herrligkoffer , who climbed numerous mountains for the first time in 1966 and named them mainly after cities, towns and names. The first ascent of the Münchner Tinde was made by Michl Anderl, Sepp Anzenberger, Gebhard Plangger and Karl Herrligkoffer.
