These are historical sights that were created on Saturday on the Theresienwiese.
Because there is no Oktoberfest 2020. Above all, one discovery says it all.
The "Non-Wiesn" in pictures.
The
Oktoberfest
in
Munich
will not take place in 2020 due to the corona pandemic.
Many people use the
WirtshausWiesn
as a substitute
.
Others traveled on Saturday, September 19.
nevertheless to Theresienwiese - memorable sights emerged.
Munich - #koawiesn!
With hashtags like these, many people on
Instagram celebrated
a historic September 19, 2020. For the first time since the Second World War, there is
no
Oktoberfest
in
Munich as
a
result of the
corona pandemic
.

A little consolation was launched with the
WirtshausWiesn
.
Oktoberfest fans should
get a bit of Oktoberfest flair
in the
restaurants
and at the same time support the local
gastronomy
.
Even traditional tapping did not fall by the wayside, but did not run smoothly everywhere.
The actually so practiced former mayor
Christian Ude made
an unprecedented mishap - but it was not just his fault.

Despite the Oktoberfest cancellation due to Corona: Many visit Theresienwiese
Despite the increased corona numbers, the
Theresienwiese
still exerted an almost magical attraction on many
.
The authorities had already expected this and issued an
alcohol ban
.
There was of course no “ban on entering” (and the journey was easier than ever, as can be seen above) - so at the best time of the day, numerous people in traditional costumes romped about in the otherwise busy place.
And peacefully!
On the Theresienwiese itself at 12 o'clock there were occasional “O'zapft is” calls.
According to the
police
, who, according to a spokesman, were on duty with 60 people to check, everything remained calm.

Oktoberfest cancellation due to Corona: Even a beer table can be seen on Theresienwiese
A group of
Oktoberfest waitresses
picnicked in traditional costumes with a cola mix and alcohol-free shandy below the Bavaria.
They even got together for breakfast with a complete set of beer tables, as the AFP agency recorded in pictures.

On the initiative of the
Paulaner brewery
, Oktoberfest hosts, showmen, representatives of the city, the Münchner Kindl and the Munich Breweries Association met at the former parade ground of the Luitpold barracks at 10 a.m. to show their hearts for the Oktoberfest and to say hello to all Oktoberfest fans.

The heart from beer tables is also said to represent a greeting to the world.

A
heart made
of beer table
sets
framed the splendid teams of breweries, after tapping the guests toasted each other at a distance, and so all the heart photos were also taken as greetings to everyone who did not come to Munich to celebrate this year.

Oktoberfest cancellation due to Corona: web designer discovers whole milk pack on Theresienwiese
A
fashion designer
also insisted on heading for the Theresienwiese to pose in one of her creations.
And perhaps the most symptomatic photo was taken by a Munich web designer: A few meters away from the Bavaria she saw an
empty whole milk carton
on the gravel.
And captured this memorable scenario for posterity.

Ordinarily there would be people full to the brim with alcohol.
In 2020 everything will be a little different.
Milk instead of alcohol, prudence instead of excess.
But many who have celebrated their non-Wiesn with the necessary distance - be it at the WirtshausWiesn or privately - may have noticed that something like this can also be pleasant.
