Passengers reported the captain announced they were returning to Munich due to problems with the cabin pressure, the cabin pressure problem as well as the cold temperatures in the cabin were caused by a problem with one of the forward doors which didn't close properly. Fellow passengers sitting in the forward section of the aircraft indicated that one of the doors was quite a bit open.
On Mar 6th 2018 the airline stated that the door was okay and closed, however, the seal was defective causing noise and cold air inside the cabin.
