Turns out this was an ambulance flight as it was called. Probably some sort of medical emergency.
No PPR even during low traffic hours.
D-EFIN is based at my home base, so I’ll ask the guy if I see him. 
Off-topic, but do you just HATE that, too, when you google for an aircraft registration and Google always thinks it should correct your spelling and search for something else instead? This time, I got results for DEFINE first.
Somebody should contact the owner of what looks like this one
and ask him how exactly he did it. A proven exception always disproves any theory so clearly the reports of “you will never get a slot below 2000kg” are completely wrong.
Somebody made it to EDDM but didn’t report here ;-) 02FEB16

I will use a phrase that I have been using as I try to learn German for the above quote; “Genau”.

Separate landing and take-off fees? What on earth is the point in that? It should only add to the administration costs.
As long as you pay for the Admin costs it is irrelevant to the bureaucrat.

EDMA is fine once you are able to use a rental car. But it is tiresome. I did that a number of times. Flying into EDNX was easier but I had to wait 45 minutes for the taxi before I knew how to order one in advance. When going back drivers from the city don’t seem to know there is an airfield.
I use EDMA all the time. I would get a ride with a taxi to the train station and from there a train to city center in Munich. The trains run pretty regularly at least 1x/hr The ICE gets you there in about 30 mins. Cab takes about 15mins to get to the station in Augsburg. Less if no traffic. Costs about 50 Euros each way.Of course it depends on when you get to the train station and when the train comes arrives but you can get a Time table.
While Im thinking about it you might try Uber. Some of my friends have been raving about it but not sure how expensive that would be.
With a jet you might want to try EDMO, Oberpfaffenhofen, in the southwest of Munich.
Unfortunately only open until 1900 local, but for an overnight trip into Munich…..
SEP into EDDM, you won’t get a slot… better would be EDNX, but afaik only from beginning of March. Other options EDML or EDMA. Taxi from EDML into central Munich ca. 1hr.

i did EDML on a Sunday booked hirecar before on friday (europcar) they droped it of at the airport and collected it again from there

I concluded EDMA is OK if you get someone to collect you; other transport is messy (probably easy for the locals) and as you found the taxi costs are just amazing… According to the data I have, EDNX cannot be flown to/from the UK and is VFR-only. (We did have a thread on immigration being available at many German airports on a PNR basis but I don’t have access to the German VFR AIP).
Curiously, there are 5-8 year old pilot reports online saying that EDDM was accessible below 2000kg but IFR-only.
EDMA is very good to use. It is just a bit far out.
On EDDM, would be interesting to try for ppr late at night or early. They should allow it if capacity allows. They even have AVGAS.
