Servus, MVG now sells four MVV tickets on the web so newcomers and visitors can buy without an app and save to Apple or Google Wallet. E10 petrol hit a record and could stay volatile; 10 September will test sirens across Bavaria for the nationwide Warntag, and carp season opened with low yields so buy local if you can. A 117 kg WWII bomb was found shallow near Neu-Ulm and defused, a reminder that digs can still trigger evacuations.

2. E10 hits record price at the pumps, ADAC says causes are mixed

The average price for a litre of E10 petrol topped 2.21 euros this week, a new high. The ADAC motoring association says the Iran conflict only partly explains the rise and that historical highs have happened before for other reasons, so future prices will depend on several global and local factors. Drivers should expect continued volatility at Bavarian petrol stations.

Why this matters: Higher fuel prices affect commuting and running costs in Bavaria, so budget accordingly if you drive regularly.

3. Why sirens will sound across Bavaria on 10 September

Thursday 10 September is the annual nationwide Warntag, when sirens and mobile alerts are tested across Germany, including Bavaria. Authorities use the day to check alarm chains and inform the public that these are drills, though they may still be loud and surprising. Knowing the date prevents unnecessary alarm and helps you recognise official tests from real emergencies.

Why this matters: Expect loud sirens and phone warnings that day in Bavarian towns and cities, so do not be alarmed and check official information if you are unsure.

4. Bavaria celebrates the start of the carp season, but yields are low

Bavaria’s carp season was officially opened by federal and state agriculture ministers, highlighting the regional tradition of small-pond carp farming concentrated in Middle Franconia and the Upper Palatinate. Authorities warned that predator losses have reduced harvests, with expected yields of 4,000 to 4,500 tonnes this year, and urged consumers to buy local to support small family farms. Seasonal carp dishes will be available in many restaurants and markets across the region.

Why this matters: Trying locally farmed Bavarian carp is a way to enjoy regional food culture and support small producers while supplies are limited.

5. 117 kg WWII bomb defused near Neu‑Ulm after discovery in shallow soil

During survey work in Neu-Ulm's Pfuhler Ried a 117 kilogram World War II fragmentation bomb was found only about 40 centimetres below the surface. Explosive ordnance disposal teams were called out and the device was defused. Such finds can lead to local evacuations and traffic restrictions while specialists secure the area.

Why this matters: If you live near Neu-Ulm or travel through the area, expect possible short-term evacuation orders or road closures when unexploded ordnance is handled.
