Nockherberg 2024 in a politically heated atmosphere: The limits of what can be sung – Munich

The derblecken at the strong beer festival in Munich is a unique spectacle, but the increasing hatred in the political discourse is also leaving its mark here. How Lent preachers and Singspiel makers react to this.

The exact content? They are secret, of course, like every Nockherberg. The spectacle of strong beer tasting with political celebrities in the Au-Haidhausen district is one of the fixed rituals of Munich’s annual festival. It takes place on Wednesday, the Bayerischer Rundfunk broadcasts live from 7 p.m. and after the Lenten sermon and singing game there will also be an interpretive discussion from 10 p.m. The authors revealed a little something in advance at the announcement press conference this Friday, as an appetizer, so to speak.
