a rare anonymity and freedom in Munich. He was treated normally by the people of Munich and not as a star, which suited him very well. This allowed him to live out his personality and sexuality openly.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"lebendige-lgbtq-szene\">Lively LGBTQ scene<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1980s, Munich was one of the most important gay strongholds in the world alongside New York, San Francisco and Amsterdam.  <br\/>The Glockenbachviertel was the center of this scene with numerous clubs and bars that Mercury liked to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"kreative-inspiration\">Creative inspiration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mercury&#8217;s time in Munich was very productive musically. Queen recorded five albums at the nearby Musicland Studios, including hits such as &#8220;Crazy Little Thing Called Love&#8221; and &#8220;Another One Bites the Dust&#8221;. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div
