While social media Germany is primarily pouncing on the exuberant celebration of Green Party politicians, familiar faces are also sitting in other corners of the Wiesn. Because the Oktoberfest is always a question of seeing and being seen. On the first day, not only countless young adults stormed the tents, but also many celebrities, who were apparently just as happy that the folk festival was taking place again, as were the normal visitors.
You meet in the Käfer tent – actually
The focal point was of course the Käfer tent, where guests like HP Baxxter, Kalle Schwensen, Richard Lugner, Ralph Siegel and the former Tagesschau announcer Jan Hofer passed the door handle. The German financial elite also celebrated in the tent of Wiesn host Michael Käfer. For example, publisher Dirk Ippen or the billionaire couple Sixt mingled with the people there.
Beetle does not have the celebrity exclusively for itself: Thomas Gottschalk celebrated with his girlfriend Karina Mroß and her daughter Melinda in the Marstall marquee of the Able host family.
Some Bavarians with a hangover on the go
However, some regular guests of the Wiesn were absent on the first day and only came on the second. The FC Bayern team was certainly looking forward to the Oktoberfest, but given the defeat against Augsburg, the mood must have been gloomy. Thomas Müller and Oliver Kahn still seemed to be in a good mood.
Coach Julian Nagelsmann was no longer interested in his first visit to the Oktoberfest as Bayern coach on Saturday, as reported by the German press agency. He said: “If the team goes, then I have to go with them. Basically, I don’t feel like it.” Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic has a similar opinion. “Three points from four games – I don’t know if I like the measure,” said the 45-year-old. Nevertheless, apparently both came.
