It was a beautiful Oktoberfest day on Friday, the sun was shining and the temperatures were pleasant again before they dropped again on Saturday. No wonder that many celebrities have made their way to the Theresienwiese. Including numerous former footballers. Lothar Matthäus, world champion 32 years ago and now e-youth trainer at TSV Grünwald, appeared in Käfer’s Wiesn-Schänke together with Anastasia, from whom he has separated but with whom he still gets along well.
Christian Lell, known as a former player from FC Bayern and P1, also preferred to celebrate at the Wiesn instead of watching the Nations League game of the German national team against Hungary. A wise decision. The atmosphere in the beer tent was clearly better than when the DFB team lost 1-0 in Leipzig.
A player from FC Schalke was once again absent on Friday against Hungary. No wonder that Clemens Tönnies, entrepreneur in the meat industry and until 2020 chairman of the supervisory board at the Gelsenkirchen club, was not interested in the game, preferring to visit the Wiesn with his wife Margit.
In the films “Die Wilden Kerle” Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht plays an enthusiastic kicker, but privately the actor is not interested in soccer. “I hardly watch football,” he once said in an interview. So he preferred to drink a beer at the Wiesn instead of sitting in front of the TV and cheering on Hansi Flick’s team.
Designer Natascha Grün, on the other hand, is more interested in spectacular dresses than in boring football jerseys. On Friday she appeared in a red velvet dirndl in the Käfer tent.
What would the Munich designer say about Robert Geis’ choice of clothes? The outfit of the entrepreneur and member of the Geissens looks more like rocker meetings than Oktoberfest.
