They do exist. Unearthed europlugs' pins are 4mm wide. Earthed plugs' pins are 4.8mm. If you get an extension cord, get the earthed version.
wow, where'd this tidbit of valuled info come from? That's exactly what need!
I will have to google and buy now... After all, I want to enjoy Munich, not spend my time trying to translate that in some German BestBuy while I should be drinking in beer tents.

Agreed, unless said sockets were put in and not abused in the last 10-15 years.
I think your case is similar to mine in that if we had an extension chord or power strip, we could manage how and where the outlets of that are positioned for our use, and only have the one connection at the wall outlet be the crucial one.
