Pope Benedict XVI has arrived in southern Germany for a six-day visit to his homeland, Bavaria.
He landed in Munich, where he will hold an open-air mass for an expected 250,000 people on Sunday - one of three planned masses during his tour.
He is also due to visit the village of his birth, Marktl-am-Inn, and meet his brother, Georg, a retired priest.
This is the Pope's second visit to Germany and will be, says the Vatican, more spiritual and personal.
