The only ones who can really know this answer is the embassy - or more likely the consulate. Why apply for something and not ask how long it takes?!

If you and your family members fulfill the requirements (i.e. sufficient finances, accommodation, health insurance and German language skills), the visa application is submitted to the foreigner authority (Auslaenderamt) of your home town (Munich) and processed there. Depending on how much other work they have, this can take several months (3 - 6 months is common).
Since the embassy is not the processing authority, they won't be able to tell you. But you could try to contact your local foreigner authority.
