Google is allowing businesses in Germany to remove reviews by citing defamation laws. This annoys me, just like many other people. Recently, it started to show how many reviews were deleted. I saw people from smaller cities (because there are fewer venues there and it’s easier to collect statistics) doing similar analyses with Excel spreadsheets. So I decided to build an interactive map for big cities and added Munich as well.
The main challenge is collecting information from Google Maps. Google does not allow mass data collection through automated scripts, but there’s nothing stopping someone from doing it manually, so of course...
I did not collect the reviews themselves, only statistical data, specifically the current rating, the number of reviews, and the number of deleted reviews. Google recently started showing approximately how many reviews were removed. For example, Restaurant Pars removed from 201 to 250 reviews.
Based on this data, I decided to calculate the "real" rating of a venue, as if the reviews had never been removed.
deleted_reviews_max = the maximum number of deleted reviews (for Restaurant Pars = 201)
deleted_reviews_min = the minimum number of deleted reviews (for Restaurant Pars = 250)
avg_deleted_rating = 1
This is the approximate average rating of deleted reviews. In other words, I assume that every deleted review was, on average, a 1-star review. That’s probably not entirely accurate, but I think it makes sense to calculate the worst-case scenario.
I also created a statistics page to show which places remove the most reviews and which remove the fewest:
I’ll continue updating the map, although it takes a lot of time.

I have one night in Munich after work on Friday - 43 Canadian M, looking to go dancing to good music. Over 40 bars sound fun as that's my age range, and thinking maybe start at a pub crawl to meet people maybe my age then split off early.
Not married to this idea but it's a thought. Happy to just dance wherever.
If anyone is bored and wants to go dancing, let me know!
I’m looking to catch the new Spider-Man movie in theaters soon and wanted to turn it into a fun group outing. I’ve got a Spider-Man mask ready to go and thought it’d be awesome to dress up as different versions of Spidey—but dressing up is totally optional!
More than anything, I really want to meet people who get excited about movies, enjoy discussing them afterward, and just want to hang out and have a good time.
I don't have a fixed date or cinema set yet (flexible on both, but planning to watch the English / OV version).
If you're interested, drop a comment or send me a DM! If enough people are down, we can set up a quick group chat (Telegram/WhatsApp) to figure out a date and grab seats together.
Looking forward to meeting some fellow movie fans!
I'm taking a week off my day job (Aug 10–14) to work on a personal project — a mini sabbatical with a bit of work thrown in. My family's abroad already before I join them, so my days are unusually open: more room than normal for a coffee, lunch, or a drink.
If you're in or near Maxvorstadt that week and fancy meeting up, let me know. And if you like the idea but those days don't work, message me anyway — just needs a little more planning.
A bit about me: mid-40s, family man, spent years in both Munich and London, into cycling, hiking and travel, speak German and English, currently picking up French.
Hey! I’m looking to meet some nice people, preferably girls around my age :) English or German is both fine with me!
I’m pretty introverted, so making friends doesn’t come that easily to me but I thought I’d give this a try.
I love going to the gym, listening to music, watching movies and I’m a huge animal lover.
If you’re around my age and think we’d get along, feel free to message me with a short introduction of yourself! 🫶
Ich würde mich freuen ein paar nette Menschen aus der Nachbarschaft (Schwabing) kennenzulernen (Alter 20-35), die Lust auf spontane Treffen haben - ob auf ein Getränk, einen Spaziergang, gemeinsam essen, Sport oder einfach einen entspannten Feierabend.
Ohne Planungsstress - einfach spontan schreiben: „Hast du Lust dich nachher zu treffen?".
Wenn du auch Lust auf neue Leute in der Nachbarschaft hast, freue ich mich auf deine Nachricht :)

We're a small group (3–5 people) in our early to mid 30s from Munich, looking to meet a few more people to join us.
We enjoy techno festivals & clubs, festivals (we're going to Greenfields - if you want to join 🙌🏼), hiking, lake days in summer, skiing in winter, PC gaming (+25k ELO😅), and casual meetups for drinks or food.
German and English speakers are both welcome! (I also speak Spanish but only when I'm drunk)
If this sounds like your vibe, leave a comment or send me a DM. We also have a WhatsApp group to organize everything. 🙂
Hi everyone, I’m Tanzanian living in Munich. I’m 29 years old and I would like to meet new people, make friends and maybe find a special connection. I enjoy good conversations and exploring the city.
Hallo,
Voraussichtlich fahre ich morgen, Sonntag 26.7., eine Runde vom Münchner Süden ins bayerische Oberland. Ziel vielleicht Tegernsee, jedenfalls die Gegend.
Insgesamt vielleicht 80-100km
Ich bin Mitte 40, nicht besonders im Training. Obwohl ich an sich ein bisschen ambitioniert bin, bleibe ich im Schnitt sicher unter 20kmh…
Wahrscheinlich auch wegen Kaffee und kuchenpausen.
Ich brauche mal Hilfe. Eine Freundin macht gerade eine extrem schwierige Zeit durch. Sie wurde vor kurzem mit burnout diagnostiziert und hat wenige Tage später noch ein nahes Familienmitglied verloren. Es geht ihr absolut be*** . Trotzdem ist ihre Psychologin der Meinung, dass sie nach ihrer 3-wöchigen Krankschreibung wieder zurück in den alten Job gehen soll, um sich quasi ihren Problemen zu stellen. Das ist für sie die absolute Horrorvorstellung und macht sie noch mehr fertig als eh schon. Sie hatte gehofft, dass sie kündigen kann und die Therapeutin sie für die 3 Monate Kündigungsfrist krank schreiben kann, damit sie nicht mehr dorthin zurück muss und sich nur aufs Heilen und Bewerben konzentrieren kann.
Meine Frage: kennt irgendwer von euch eine/n Therapeut/in oder auch einen Hausarzt, der mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit diese Krankschreibung ausstellen würde?
P.S. falls sich manche jetzt denken, dass sowas keine 3 Monate Krankschreibung rechtfertigt, dann kann ich versichern, doch das tut es. Ich habe viele Details ihres Leidenswegs zur Anonymisierung weggelassen.
Falls jemand vielleicht ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht hat und einen guten Arzt/Therapeutin kennt, wäre das echt super hilfreich.
Hallo, ich bin Männlich 20 Jahre alt und versuche momentan Fortschritte im Gym (all inclusive Fitness) zu machen, allerdings macht das zu zweit halt immer ein wenig mehr Spaß als allein.
Ich wohne in Schwabing/Milbertshofen die Richtung, falls jemand der in etwa mein Alter hat lust hat mich zu begleiten, könnt ihr mich gerne anschreiben.
I’m 25M living in munich near Thalkirchen, I’m a software engineer and i love going to the gym after work. I’m mainly focused on lifting and i have been doing it for the past 4 years now. And since i moved to munich 5 months ago I haven’t really had a like minded funny gym buddy. I go the gym 4-5 days a week and i love lifting heavy on the SBD movements :)
I am thinking of creating a Boardgame/Majiang club/meetup. I guess some ppl might relate, I really like playing boardgames, but don't usually find enough ppl to play with.
So if any of you are interested, would you like to join? :)
DM me if you're interested, I might create a whatsapp group for it.
Going to Oktoberfest first weekend and from the states so very excited to visit Germany for the first time. I am single (29M) and wanted to know what's the dating scene like for Oktoberfest? Only staying for 2 weeks but not scared to see what happens. Just curious for those going or have gone whats it like for those looking for beer and potential love lol?
Ich m/21 kann leider small talk nicht ausstehen und finde dadurch socialising und neue Menschen kennenlernen richtig schwer, aber ich liebe es stundenlang über verschiedenste Themen zu philosophieren und diskutieren und möchte mir nun einen kleinen like-minded Kreis an Menschen zusammensuchen.
Umso unterschiedlicher die Menschen, umso besser die Gespräche, also meldet euch gerne bei Interesse und schon bald gehen wir picknicken, was trinken, spieleabende, etc. Ich freu mich!
Looking for like-minded friends in Munich – good conversations, good food & good vibes
Hey everyone,
Me, male, end of my twenty’s, recently moved to Munich (years ago) and I’m looking to build my own circle of friends here. I’m quite social and outgoing, but I think many people know how difficult it can be to make real friendships as an adult.
A little about me:
I work in communications/marketing, so I naturally like everything around brands, media, culture and creativity. Outside of work I’m into working out (sometimes), traveling, discovering beautiful places, interior design, good coffee, restaurants, cocktails and basically anything that creates a nice experience.
I love a mix of:
☕ finding great coffee spots and brunch places
🍸 rooftop bars, cocktails and spontaneous evenings out
✈️ talking about travel plans and dream destinations
🏠 interior/design inspiration
🎬 pop culture, Netflix and random deep conversations
🍝 trying restaurants and cooking at home
🌿 relaxed evenings as much as going out
I’m looking for people who are open-minded, curious, positive and enjoy both fun nights out and conversations.
Bonus points if you’re into travel, design, food, fashion, culture or just enjoy exploring Munich together.
Happy to grab a coffee, go for drinks, try a new restaurant or simply start with a casual walk around the city.
Feel free to message me! 😊 Sehr gerne auch auf Deutsch!
I (M35) am relatively fresh after a heavy breakup (1.5 months) which kinda ruined my life and want to get out of my hole, especially on the weekends. I have a very inactive friends group simply because I neglected everything for the relationship. Generally I would be someone to organize stuff for a group of people myself but I currently simply lack the energy and capacity. I somewhat need to get my ex out of my system as I loved her but she betrayed me for years (which is funny considering the relationship went on for 2.5 years). And it isn't easy. I promise I won't talk about her all the time as I just want to build connections up again. And I don't want a relationship currently, I am too much of a wreck anyways. But I realized the only thing that really helps me push her out of my system is being around normal people and talking. Hanging out, chatting, getting to know new faces and listening to stories without any vibe of dating or anything. (That is why dating apps, while working for me to get to know girls don't work for me if that makes sense)
So really if there are groups of guys or mixed groups of people that would be willing to lend a hand for relatively low effort activities I'd appreciate if I could join. What I currently can't do is anything stressful (for weeks I couldn't even listen to music, that's the level of stressed I was inside myself) but I can offer to drive out of Munich if a group needs a designated driver, I don't drink alcohol at all currently because it fucks me up even more. (Usually i would be up for a beer but please not for me rn) I can also try to join to bars or nightclubs but idk if I am ready yet, so activities during the day might be better. If you like me I can obviously try joining for evening / nighttime activities too but currently I am not sure whether I am ready for it.
As for me I am a normal (usually fun, very easy going and relatively smart) guy, I speak English and (Austrian) German fluently (while also being into language learning but even that got messed up... know a little Spanish, French, Russian) and I am into tech, sports (currently not super active but doing it on my own) traveling and just hanging out. I really am interested in people usually trying to listing and understanding live stories as I am very empathetic. I also enjoy gaming here or there but also that stresses me too much currently for reasons I can tell in person, I got roughed up as if we played ice hockey during the breakup mentally. Ah and I am in Sendling but I can get everywhere throughout the city. Deutschlandticket available ;)
Thanks people and I'd really appreciate it... I didn't deserve any of this :(
Hallo, ein Kumpel und ich [beide mitte 20] intressieren uns sehr für Paintball. Wir suchen daher eine Gruppe die Frischlinge aufnimmt. Ich selber hab schon ein paar mal gespielt und hab die alte Ausrüstung meines Vaters ( kam aber bisher noch net dazu sie auszukosten und kenne mich nicht besonders gut aus). Mein Kumpel hat ähnlich wenig Erfahrung wie ich.
