This makes the anticipation of all little Wiesn fans immense: Shortly before the start on September 17, the rides are set up on the Theresienwiese. From the ferris wheel to the five-loop to the Bayern Tower, you can recognize the classics from afar. Before the Höllenblitz, there is still some work to be done, before the first passengers arrive on Saturday. Other traditional rides such as the Munich slides are also getting ready.
For a long time they lay on the ground, the typical white and blue ringed maypoles. Now they have been set up, for example in front of the Hofbräuzelt. He has already taken his place in front of the tent and soon the lion will roar again "Löööö-weeen-bräääu". The grill is being set up at the Goldener Hahn. So things are clearly progressing, and that's a good thing: it'll start in 3 weeks!
There they are, the big Oktoberfest tents for 2022 - in their usual places, because the foundations always remain under the gravel of the Theresienwiese. From the Schützenfest tent at the Bavaria to the Schottenhamel festival hall, where the tapping will soon take place: A tour.
Many details make every tent unmistakable. Surely you know the crown on the Hofbräufest tent and the quadriga on the Marstall, but have you ever noticed the pig from the Armbrustschützen tent? We took a close look:
The Wiesn offers many unusual perspectives, especially during construction. Come with us to the Löwenbräu tower, if you are free from giddiness, or to one of the sunny galleries of the big tents.
Of course, the hosts don't miss the opportunity to visit the Theresienwiese in person. Christian and Konstantin Schottenhamel can't wait and have even brought a barrel. Steffi Spendler a lion, because the one in front of her tent had not yet arrived when she visited. Get to know the Wiesnwirte!
We had wait for this sight for ages, but now the fabric panels are hanging in the big tents again! Whether green and white in the Armbrustschützenzelt or yellow in the Paulaner Festzelt. In the Hacker festival tent the beautiful paintings with Munich scenes are mounted. But see for yourself:
For safety reasons, entering the large construction site on the Theresienwiese is not permitted. However, the crossing options on foot and by bike will be maintained for as long as is possible after the progress of construction. A detailed map with the routes across the Theresienwiese and all information on traffic restrictions around the Oktoberfest is available at muenchenunterwegs.de (in German).
