The General Meeting will take place at Jugendwohnheim (Home for Young People) Salesanium, St. Wolfgangs-Platz 11, Munich. The nearest underground/metro/subway station is Rosenheimer Platz, which can be reached with lines S2, S4 and S8, as well as central lines between Hauptbahnhof (Main Railway Station) and Ostbahnhof (Eastern Railway Station). The underground/metro/subway is called S-Bahn in German. When you leave the S-Bahn go into Balanstrasse (strasse is road) and walk around 100 meters passing Metzstrasse to your left, Rablstrasse to your right and Pariserstrasse to your left and into St. Wolfgangsplatz to your right. To have a map available is probably a good idea.
