If Corona doesn’t thwart the plans, the people of Munich will have to wait another two months until it says again: “Ozapft is!” As visitors, we only have to prepare ourselves mentally for the Oktoberfest, pick out the traditional costume and save if necessary so that we can afford to visit the Oktoberfest. But how do those who work at the Wiesn prepare? Until the tapping on September 17, we will accompany three people who are represented at the Oktoberfest this year (SZ Plus).
In conversation with the market stall operator Christian Schöttl, the waiter Svenja Sabadello and the Oktoberfest landlady Kathrin Wickenhäuser-Egger, anticipation prevailed in almost everyone. “After the last few years, something is finally stirring again in Munich,” says Wickenhäuser-Egger, who is represented with a marquee on the Theresienwiese for the first time this year. But there is also uncertainty among the three. What if the number of corona cases increases again? And: What is the impact of energy prices, which are becoming ever more expensive? Questions that are already in the room.
As a visitor, everyone is free to go to the Wiesn in September or not. For everyone involved, on the other hand, a lot depends on it: the 16 days are an important source of financial income for them, especially after two years of the pandemic.
