Student Max Stöhr (17) won the title of “strongest man in Garching’. Max was able to take the title from last year's winner Hendrik.

The traditional 250 kilo Stoa was replaced by fitness equipment two years ago. “Our strong beer festival has been going on for 36 years, but men used to be stronger,” said the organizer, Hans Kastenmüller. The local association currently has 399 members. When the 400 is reached, there is a celebration.
