Frequently asked
Other places
How this list is made
Each agency is checked against public company registers, state licence requirements and professional-association member lists, then against its own website. Only agencies confirmed as operating are published. No agency pays to be listed and there are no rankings or reviews. Last verified: 2026-10-10.
01How many modeling agencies are there in Munich?
This catalogue lists 11 verified agencies in Munich, including Louisa Models, Munich Models, Most Wanted Models and MIHA modelmanagement. Only agencies with a current licence or professional-association membership, or confirmed by at least two independent sources, are included.
02Which parts of Munich are modeling agencies in?
All 11 catalogue agencies give an office address on their websites. Five are in Schwabing (Munich Models, viviènne model management, elenamodels.de, Lachfalten People and MIHA modelmanagement), three in Bogenhausen (Louisa Models, Most Wanted Models and PARS Management), two in Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt (PS Models and The Good Guys) and one in Maxvorstadt (Tigers Management).
03How much does public transport cost in Munich?
Under MVV fares in force since 1 January 2026, a single ticket in zone M (the whole city) costs €4.20, a short-trip ticket €2.10, a day ticket for one person €10.10 and a monthly ticket €71.40. The Deutschlandticket costs €63 a month and is valid on local and regional transport throughout Germany. A day ticket that includes the trip to or from the airport costs €17.50.
04Does Munich have a fashion week?
Germany's main fashion week is in Berlin. Munich has Munich Fashion Week in August: in 2026 it ran on 5–11 August at the Marriott Munich City West hotel, and the organisers count 16 shows. On the same days, 8–11 August, the Supreme Women & Men order fair took place at the MTC centre, open to trade visitors only; the next fair is set for 13–16 February 2027. As of 11 October 2026 the date of the next Munich Fashion Week had not been announced.
05What is VELMA and which Munich agencies belong to it?
VELMA (Verband lizenzierter Modelagenturen e. V.) is the German association of model agencies, founded in 1992 and registered in Munich. Its website was offline in October 2026, so we rely on the last published member list (June 2025): it names 11 agencies, three of them from Munich: Louisa Models, Most Wanted Models and Munich Models. The word "licensed" in the name is historical: model agencies in Germany have not needed a licence since 2002.
06Which agencies are there around Munich?
The catalogue lists five: Kleemodels in Neubiberg, JAVA Model Management in Schäftlarn, ELF Management in Inning am Ammersee, Montana Models in Bad Wiessee on Lake Tegernsee, and MARA Models in Thierhaupten, north of Augsburg. Neubiberg and Schäftlarn are on the Munich S-Bahn. MARA Models is the only one of them with a kids board.
07Do Munich agencies take models from Lithuania?
Yes. As an EU citizen you do not need a work permit in Germany; an identity card or passport is enough. A Lithuanian model usually gets there through a mother agency that sends Munich agencies digitals and measurements. You can also apply directly: 10 of the 11 Munich agencies have an application page on their own website. Contracts, commission and tax are covered in the Germany guide.
