Oktoberfest 2025: Dieter Reiter opens in front of prominent guests

Wonderful sunshine, two strokes and numerous star guests: the 190th Oktoberfest was opened in Munich on Saturday. As in previous years, Mayor Dieter Reiter (67, SPD) needed two strong blows to tap the first measure of this year’s Oktoberfest. It traditionally went to Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder (58, CSU). “O’Zapften is”!

“Supernut,” he commented on the first sip in the Schottenhamel marina. As in the previous year, Söder appeared in lederhosen instead of in a traditional suit. “We have such difficult times, we take a break from the crises during the Oktoberfest,” said the politician.

Of course, the celebrities did not miss the Wiesn tapping. As “for 20 years”, hit star Florian Silbereisen (44) was sitting at the front of the Schottenhamel. This year he was accompanied by Neu-Münchner Jürgen Drews (80) along with his wife Ramona and daughter Joelina. While his beer treated himself to “much better” because of the warm temperatures “, the” King of Mallorca “did without. “I am an anti -alcoholic,” said Drews of the ARD. So his measure prefers to go to his friend. “He tolerates so much,” he praised silver iron.

Also on day one: Thomas Gottschalk and his wife Karina Mroß, who drove on the parade and accordingly let themselves be cart from the carriage to the tent. Wiesn-Stammgast Cathy Hummels, Roberto Blanco and Simone Thomalla also did not miss the tapping. The actress came into the beetle tent with her friend René “The magic of the Oktoberfest is that nowhere else are so many beautifully attracted people at once. The women in the dirndl are beautiful, the men in lederhosen super sexy. And everyone has the same goal: the bad things in the world briefly forgot and enjoy the day.”
