Migration history
Hundreds of Nepalese immigrated to Germany from Nepal to find political asylum , either fleeing the Maoists or the police. A smaller group of Nepalese entrepreneurs and international students also immigrated to Germany for business and higher education.
distribution
There are several 200 Nepalese living in and around Munich; there is also a small but significant community of students who study medicine, languages and other subjects and therefore remain in Germany as Nepalese. There is also a Nepalese restaurant in Munich and a Nepalese school.
Munich is also home to a Nepalese temple garden known as Pagoda Nepal . The center of the garden is a hand-carved pagoda . As in Nepal, the nine meter high pagoda stands on a plateau. The temple figurines that flank the staircase are, like the temple bell, placed in the pagoda.
