After the Oktoberfest cancellation: Several reactions to the Oktoberfest end on social media

Appropriate reactions to the Oktoberfest cancellation were not long in coming with social media. In a row, a steep assumption was made that NRW Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU) wanted to bring the world's largest folk festival to his state - for example to Cologne.

Tomorrow Laschet will announce that he can imagine hosting the #Wiesn in the land of kitchen builders in autumn.

After all, Laschet is seen in the debate on easing the exit restrictions as an opponent of Bayern's Söder, whose course in containing the coronavirus pandemic * is much more strict.

No Oktoberfest in Munich: "Kotze in the subway, Kotze in the S-Bahn"

But also sarcasm and scorn about the general development of the Oktoberfest in the past years and decades mixed with the social media reactions. 

For example, the quer editorial team of satirist Christoph Süß from BR wrote a list on Twitter of what Munich would miss in the fall: “Kotze in the subway, Kotze in the S-Bahn, Kotze in the bus, over 11 € for one Pay liters of beer, drunk people at night under the balcony, beer corpses on various hills, traditional caricatures from all over the world, hotel prices from the moon, traffic closures, and yes, the Oktoberfest in spite of everything . ”

1. Suck on the S-Bahn
2. Suck on the U-Bahn
3. Sick on the bus
4. Pay over € 11 for a liter of beer
5. Drunk at night under the balcony

Irony postings for the Oktoberfest cancellation in Munich: "Dancing on the desk"

ZDF journalist Nicole Diekmann wrote ironically in a post for the short message service: "If everything is going virtually now, why not the Oktoberfest : Join us in groups, drink ourselves, dance on the desk, pee in the corner and vomit and in the stairwell. The fight may then be in top form for free. "

If everything goes virtually now, why not the Oktoberfest too: join together in groups, drink ourselves, dance on the desk, pee in the corner and vomit and in the stairwell. The fight may then be in top form for free. #Meadows

And another Twitter user gave tips on “ Wiesn dahoam”. These included, for example: "Leave half of Handel (Hendl, d. Red. ) In the oven at 75 degrees for two days - let the whole thing out again."

#Wiesn dahoam part 2:
- Cover the fish roll and bite it twice - then bite it on it
- Leave half a trade in the oven at 75 degrees for two days
- let it all out again.
- optional Sierra Madre or Country Roads
- try Macarena on the beer bench

Whether the Oktoberfest can take place again next year? If a vaccine against the pathogen Sars-Cov-2 * should be found? In any case, many Munichers will be keen to follow the trend.
