FC Bayern star Harry Kane has found a new home in Baierbrunn. The clubs would like to integrate the English footballer into the Isar Valley community.
Baierbrunn – The rich and beautiful – they are more likely to be located in Grünwald. There, the Bavaria film studios are not far away, and you have always been able to eat at the Hochleite around the castle. But: Every now and then, celebrities get lost in the surrounding communities, some of which are rural in character. FC Bayern footballer Thomas Müller once lived in Straßlach, singer-songwriter and cabaret artist Willy Astor is at home in Schäftlarn, and there is also a villa in Baierbrunn where famous tenants come and go. Now Harry Kane, FC Bayern's top striker who was bought in from England, has moved into the Hans Hammer Villa.

The ultra-modern, multi-storey property seems to be particularly popular with footballers. Before Kane, Mehmet Scholl lived here, and before Mehmet Scholl, centre-back and left-back Lucas Hernández lived here. Before that, it was the Hammers themselves who enjoyed the view over the Isar valley from their living room. Hans Hammer, Consul of Sri Lanka, was an architect who left a lasting mark on his home community. The new parish church was built by him, and above the S-Bahn the so-called Hammer Settlement was built according to his designs, a row of bungalows.
Kane is the talk of the village
In the meantime, word has already spread in the village about who now lives in the community – at the latest since a reporter from the TV station Sky came to the town hall at the New Year's reception at the weekend. He then wanted to know from club board members and also Mayor Patrick Ott (ÜWG) what Kane had to do to integrate. Richard Händl, chairman of the Georgenstoana, said it would be nice if the footballer would get a proper costume, the fire brigade members said that of course there was still room in their ranks for a member from England, and Waltraud Jauß, chairman of the shooters, also assured that her club would also like to take on a goalscorer. Meanwhile, the head of the town hall, Ott, said that, unlike his predecessors in the villa, Kane brings children to the community, who might then also attend kindergarten or school on site. "And then in two years we will have the 1250th anniversary celebration, which he may attend." In the same year, the community gets a new maypole, "maybe Kane will also stand at the Stempen and help out", the traditional stick is usually lifted vertically with Schwaiberl and muscle power.

Maybe he's coaching the local soccer team
At that time, Ott had already greeted the prominent newcomer in writing, he wrote to him in English that he was happy to have him in the village, but also understood if Kane wanted to avoid hustle and bustle for the time being. Otherwise, at the New Year's reception, it was said that the football star had been extremely popular in the hotel where he had temporarily stayed in Munich. And some expressed the hope that the striker might one day do it like Arjen Robben, who, when he lived in Straßlach, coached the F2 youth in Grünwald for a while. At that time, not only his own son Kai, but also the grandson of Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and the Filius of Franck Ribery played in the noble community.
