Rudolf Hartbrunner is 68 years old and a "real" Munich native who greatly values the local Munich dialect – which is why he does not offer tours for tourists. Although he trained in a completely different field, he has been offering walks around various areas of Munich for almost 35 years now. He also works as a lecturer at different educational institutes, visits schools with the Bayerischer Rundfunk broadcasting service to support projects in this field, organizes a huge range of art exhibitions and information events, has a monthly presentation series at the Haidhausen cinema "Blickpunkt München," and writes both books and articles on the history of Munich for magazines.
