Oktoberfest and the German soul
Some scornfully called Oktoberfest, the biggest booze, others, as if apologizing, talk about the national cultural tradition, others are proud to call it the most massive folk festivals in the world.
But no one will deny that to explore the German as the type of person you will not find a better place. Apparently, the Oktoberfest - is the soul of the German. Otherwise it is difficult to explain why he, regardless of age, background and education, referring to the tradition of plebeian, however, is money, and time, and reason to the end of September - early October, at least for one day to go to Munich. Come here by families, companies, teams and clubs. This year is expected to nearly 6 million people. And for all there is a place and a beer.
It all started October 12, 1810, when Crown Prince Ludwig, later King Ludwig of Bavaria first, married to Princess Therese of Saxony. Celebrations and racing, to which were invited all Bayern, were at the gates of the city in a large meadow, which has since been called Terezin meadows, although it is now almost in the center of Munich. Every year in September it grow huge palaces beer-called humble tents.
Old-timers Oktoberfest is a society-shooters crossbowmen. 103 years ago, they organized a Terezino meadow, a kind of shooting range and, of course, put next to him a beer tent. Today, this tent has space for seven and a half thousand people at a time. There are today, and shooting 14 tridtsatimetrovoy stands to fire the crossbow.
The most delicious beer in the meadow - from wooden barrels! - Offering the Augustinian brewery. As you know, most of the five thousand German beers and to this day the monks brew. This should go and those who want not only to drink, but good food - the chef Augustinian marked by numerous prizes. However, it is difficult to say if he could please everyone at once - because in the tent fit the Augustinians, nine and a half thousand people.
Typically Bavarian music, food, beer and 8,500 visitors are waiting for you in the "Broyrosl».
In the tent, "Fischer Wrona" prevent only three and a half thousand people. But, but, but here give dried fish - almost dried fish.
The most famous palace in the meadow - a subsidiary of the Munich beer "Royal Court". Its popularity, it is true, obliged grim Nazi past - here played Hitler. Nevertheless, the British, Americans, New Zealanders, the Japanese reserve places only here, believing, apparently, "Royal Court" of the German beer. And the "Royal Court" considers itself an institution of world renown, even specific, for example, on T-shirts sold here, written in English: «happy as a pig in shit» - happy as a pig in a muddy puddle. To be even more comfortable, the Anglo-Saxons and the Australians invented for himself a new game - buy beer keg, attach a hose to it and drink from it. The meadow branch "Royal Court" is located 11 thousand people.
The most notable public contracts to the "Kaefer Schenke". It's almost unnoticeable two-story wooden structure can accommodate only 900 people. The atmosphere-rich farmhouse. As a rule, all in the Bavarian national costumes: short leather pants, boots with thick socks and green suede jacket. On the women - lush, like the peasants, but terribly expensive dresses. Unlike any other beer Terezino meadow, here in "Kaefer Shank" people are not sitting on the benches behind a bushy tables and cozy niches - ie all in the common room, but each group its own area. True, the music does not sound here Bavarian and international. But food is not only Bavarian, ie fat and hearty, but also extraordinarily original. The most popular dish is called supenshnaps, but it is not soup, and snaps, and something cold and difficult.
Beer "Levenbroy", similar to the inside of the inside of the barrel, holds five and a half thousand visitors at once. Its distinguishing feature - a huge, tall four and a half meters lion, a symbol of the company "Levenbroy" raising a mug and growling bass levenbroy. This lion is here since 1949. Since then, as the palace for the first time he appeared Terezino meadow. Then he - "Levenbroy" - for some reason liked Americans.
Beer "fried bull" fully corresponds to its name. Here the beer and food are absolutely equal in rights. In the eyes of the public - and this is 7000 people - roasted on spits huge chunks of meat - up to 700 portions per hour.
"Shotenhammel" - beer youth, or rather, a student, more precisely, there are going to associations of students, traditionally call themselves "Bursch", and seems to do everything here, to confirm his reputation, and wild unrestrained children. It is not difficult to imagine what is happening in this place, when engaged all six thousand seats.
More relaxed, even after years of family atmosphere reigns in beer Vintserer Fendl. Many come here with their children, and, as the owner says, those who came here a child, he and an adult, will be coming here also.
