Why It Matters

The Oktoberfest in Munich attracts millions of visitors every year and is regularly the scene of police investigations.

The man was found drunk on the premises in Riem. Two men are too big for the Olympic loop and are freaking out. At the weekend the sun will appear again for the final spurt.

A man was taken from an Oktoberfest campsite in Riem to the hospital while being resuscitated and died there. According to police, rescue workers found the 38-year-old on the premises shortly before midnight on Thursday.

The cause of death is still unclear. According to the police, the man was drunk. She was unable to find any evidence of external influence. Commissariat 12, which is responsible for death investigations, has taken over the case.

A 22-year-old man is said to have sexually harassed two young people aged 15 and 16 in the Schottenhamel festival tent last night. The three were sitting at a table, but didn't know each other before. The man is said to have grabbed the 16-year-old's buttocks. When she then asked him to leave the table, he allegedly grabbed the 15-year-old's face with both hands and tried to kiss her.

This year's Wiesn Courage Prize goes to Wiesn waitress Daria Aigner. The 25-year-old, who works in the Augustiner Festival Hall, was “the first to recognize that a guest was in mortal danger” and gave the unconscious man chest compressions for 15 minutes.

A 39-year-old and a 41-year-old wanted to ride the Olympic loop on Thursday evening. According to the police, they got into an argument with the employees about the maximum height for the trip. The limit is 1.95 meters, both of them were taller.

A small, colorful bird got lost in the Hofbräuhaus tent on Thursday afternoon. The trusting cockatiel landed on the shoulder of a waitress and let those present provide him with nuts.

For a 31-year-old security employee, Oktoberfest is over. The man from Hildesheim in Lower Saxony is said to have acted so violently towards a disobedient visitor in the entrance area of ​​a festival tent on Wednesday evening that he is now being investigated for bodily harm.

The number of arrests for drug-related offenses has now increased by almost 50 percent compared to the previous year. A 36-year-old Brit from Northern Ireland behaved particularly boldly on Wednesday afternoon. He had to pay a security deposit of 30,000 euros.
