It’s a jolly group that has gathered at Gut Hub in the evening. Women and men that the organizers of the Tollhub Festival can count on. So the meeting is also about the distribution of responsibilities such as baking cakes, supervisory service and serving drinks. Everyone knows their duties, every move has to be right. Without the many helpers, the Tollhub Festival would not be what it is: three days of games, fun and cultural enjoyment for everyone. After a two-year break due to corona, the festival will take place again this year. From May 27th to 29th, an alternative market, live music, cabaret and much more will attract visitors to Gut Hub in Penzberg.
For 25 years, Evi Mummert was at the head of the organizers of the “Kleinkunst” campaign. Now she has spread the responsibility on several shoulders. Her son Andi Mummert is part of the organizational team. He reports that the Tollhub Festival is increasingly focusing on sustainability. This year, the organizers have decided not to use the crockery mobile. Cold drinks are served in bottles, while hot drinks are served in “edible” cups made from grain and designed to taste like biscuits. Food is served on palm leaves. When it comes to cutlery, everything stays the same. And of course with a morning pint on Sunday. After all, who wants to drink their beer with a white sausage out of a paper cup instead of a proper glass. The organization team also relies on regional products. The Dorfbräu in Seeshaupt supplies the beer.
In 2019, at the last Tollhub Festival before the compulsory Corona break, the soap bubble artist Dacapo was a guest at Gut Hub in Penzberg.
