Apple posts job listings for Munich Apple Store
In June of last year, we wrote about the Apple Store that has been planned for Munich, Germany. At the time, rumors identified an opening date of "...the 2nd half of 2008."Today, Apple has posted several retail job openings for Munich, from concierge up to store manager; eleven in total. If they've begun looking for employees, the store must be near completion.
The iPhone was made available to Germans in November of last year, and a June store opening would coincide nicely with the rumored 3G iPhone release.
If you're a TUAW reader in Munich, head down to 1 Rosenstrasse (formerly home to Sport Schuster sporting goods) and let us know what you find! The time has almost come for Germany's first Apple Store!
Thanks, Chris!

If only this store was opened sooner. I just returned from a month in Germany. Would have been great to visit another Apple store. Oh well.

Actually it is “Rosenstraße 1”. In Germany people first look for the street and then for the house or building.

Hm... for a matter of fact, except for UK and USA, most countries in the world write the address like Germans do: street first, then the building number.

the building site is still far from beeing completed. still no interiour construction so you cant tell if there will be the new apple store. fingers crossed ;-)

some of the joblistings have been there for quite a while (store manager ...)
rumor had this store to open in late 2008 (right for some xmas creditcard treats). but it came to me recently that it won't happen in 2008. and looking at the building (i pass by it almost daily) an early 2009 also makes sense. it's far from being finished and they are working on that for more than a year now.
if any big changes are visible i'll notice tuaw.

@iBSOD for iPhone: Yes, there is no "Apple Store". But there are "Apple authorized Shops" in nearly every town/city and a lot of internet shops. We all miss the Guiness bar ;)

A picture I took last month of the upcoming store. I wasn't there lately but I doubt it changed much:
