The History of Oktoberfest
The first Oktoberfest was held on Ocotber 12, 1810, in Munich to
celebrate the wedding of Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria and Princess
Maria Teresa of Saxony-Hildburghausen on what was to become
known as Theresienwieses - Theresa's fields. In subsequent
years, horse races were held on the fields to celebrate the
anniversary of the royal wedding. This annual event became
Oktoberfest tradition. Oktoberfest is dedicated to the fall
harvest and to beer, the region's most famous product. People
came from throughout Germany to enjoy the celebration consisting
of dancing, singing, and drinking beer.
Oktoberfest Today
Oktoberfest 2005 celebrates it's 172nd year. Oktoberfest is the
largest festival in the world, with 6 million visitors from
around the world attending the Munich Oktoberfest each year.
Each year, these attendees consume more than 5 million liters of
beer and over 200,000 pork sausages, as well as large quantities
of traditional hearty fare such as sausage, hendl (chicken) and
sauerkraut, along with such Bavarian delicacies as roast ox
tails.
Only six Munich
breweries are allowed to serve beer at
Oktoberfest - Löwenbräu, Spaten, Augustiner (pictured right),
Hofbräu, Paulaner and Hacker-Pschorr. Each Bierzelte (beer
"tents") hold some 3,000-10,000 people. There are currently 14
main tents at the Oktoberfest. A special Oktoberfest beer is
brewed for the occasion which is slightly darker and stronger,
in both taste and alcohol.
The festivities are accompanied by a program of events,
including the Grand Entry of the Oktoberfest Landlords and
Breweries, the Costume and Riflemen's Procession, and a concert
involving all the brass bands represented at the "Wies'n".
