History of the Oktoberfest
Bavarians really know how to throw a party, and the Oktoberfest is proof. The early autumn festivity runs for an impressive 17 days until the start of October. The Oktoberfest has been around for over 200 years, and it keeps growing one edition after another.
It all started back in 1810 when then Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig (later King Ludwig I) married Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. In order to celebrate their union, the royal family decided to host an enormous celebration in front of their palace, concluding with a horse race.
All citizens of Munich were invited to attend the festivities. The fields were eventually named Theresienwiese to honor the princess. And well over 200 years later, the 4,500,000 sq ft fairground continues to host the event.
Since the wedding celebrations were incredibly successful, there was an increasingly popular demand to repeat the festivities a year later. And so the Bavarian agricultural association took it upon themselves to organize the event again in 1811, which started the tradition of the annual Oktoberfest. The festival eventually grew into its own event. The annual horse race was last held in 1960, while the agricultural fair takes place once every four years.
Initially, the event was held for 16 days until the first Sunday in October. Following a change in 1994, the event now usually runs until October 3rd (or until the first Sunday in October, whatever is later) to celebrate the 1990 German reunification.
Oktoberfest is the biggest beer festival in the world, drawing in an average of 6.5 million visitors every year. During its 175th anniversary, in 1985, Oktoberfest set a record with 7.1 million visitors. As far as beer consumption goes, the record belongs to the 1910 edition with an impressive 40.5 million ounces! That naturally requires a lot of work, and Oktoberfest waitresses are skilled enough to carry up to 18 beer mugs in one go.
There are 14 large beer tents and several smaller ones. Paulaner Festzelt is the biggest, with a capacity of 10,900 seats. Schottenhamel, meanwhile, is the most famous and most important tent -and where the traditional tapping of the first barrel marks the Oktoberfest opening. Since 1950, the mayor of Munich signals the start of the festival by opening the barrel and shouting “O'zapft is!”
