In his fasting sermon, Ludwig Schmid alias Brother Barnabas (almost) leaves no one out.
Geretsried - Almost all of them came: Mayor Michael Müller with his wife Daniela in dirndls, his challengers with the exception of Larry Terwey (FDP), District Administrator Josef Niedermaier and his deputy Klaus Koch, numerous city councilors and city council candidates and Mayor Klaus Heiling-
lechner from Wolfratshausen and some mayors from the neighboring municipalities. For the “normal citizen” there are hardly any seats left in the council chamber on Saturday at the strong beer festival of Gartenberger bunker wind music with brother Luigi Barnabas alias Ludwig Schmid, since so many parties and groups have reserved tables two weeks before the local elections this year. And of course the fasting preacher spares no one, or almost no one.
Until it is the turn of the celebrities, the veteran - it is his 16th speech - lets the audience fidget for half an hour. Unusual for such an event, Schmid commemorates Edi Hien at the beginning of his friend and “Geretsrieder Originals”, who died last year. But not with a minute's silence, but in the spirit of the fun-loving sports reporter and ice hockey official with a common prose, "so that d 'guad is okemma with Himmevatter".

When the baker in the cowl on the chaos in front of the town hall ("Before there are any misunderstandings: I'm not talking about the administration") at the B11 intersection, he gets a nod of approval from the audience. He has the laughs on his side when, in view of the slow approval process for the new residential area on the Lorenz site, he asks two questions: “First, when is fangan's as Baua o? And secondly, what does Bauer do? ”In general, building. In Geretsried, in the tradition of the old bunkers, everything had “a little bit of a military touch” - on Karl-Lederer-Platz a building reminded me of a Berlin anti-aircraft tower, the ice stadium looked like an aircraft hangar and the demolition on Egerlandstrasse was similar trench.
Schmid angered the mayor last year with his personal allusions to his new partner and now wife Daniela. Since then there has been “limited communication between us,” reveals the businessman and chairman of the ProCit retailer association. But even at the risk that the relationship remains frosty, Schmid officially congratulates the couple on their wedding. Smirking, he inquires of Alter Wirth boss Daniela whether her husband is of great help to her in the inn? "Yes? And I just said, you now say: Better choose him again as mayor ”.
And the musician plays along with it.

The S-Bahn was already a topic in Brother Barnaba's first fasting sermon - it will probably still be in the last one, he says. This time he only briefly touches the neighboring city of Wolfratshausen before - finally - he delights in devoting himself to the March 15 elections and their candidates. A little advertising in its own right runs through the evening as a running gag in the form of the number combination 3-12-3. It stands for list three (free voters) for the district council, candidate number twelve (Ludwig Schmid, without his giving his name) and three cruisers behind. With the five district council candidates, Geretsrieder frankly admits that he wishes his baker colleague Sepp Niedermaier to be re-elected. The latter had promised to swim against the third mayor Gerhard Meinl at the opening of the inter-municipal indoor pool, which Schmid would not want to miss under any circumstances.
With Filiz Cetin, he has great doubts whether the Isarwinkler will vote for her. Not because she is a woman, not because of the Turkish roots and the Swabian dialect, but because she stands for the SPD. In Sebastian Englich's (left) the preacher fears that some might say “Not another baker again”. Toni Demmel from the CSU is neither one, even if he advertises with the slogan "Back ma's", nor a butcher, although he distributes sausage tongs. Thank God he did not make this an election campaign slogan, according to the motto "Weißwurscht is". Schmid can't think of anything up-to-date about Klaus Koch, instead he recycles the gag from the “Green Zero”, which has already been introduced, with reference to sustainability.
In the neighboring town, Brother Barnabas sees everything the same. After the Wolfratshauser changes and progress do not seem particularly open to Klaus Heilinglechner from the "citizens association Weidach" have good chances to stay in office. In Dietramszell, the former district candidate Fabian von Xylander tried his luck and “if it was a mayor for the mayor, he would go back to the Bundestag in Berlin. For da g'langts oiwei ". With four candidates, the pretty play on words "z'Icking" is recommended and Eurasburg's Moritz Sappl is recommended to call himself "Maurizio Sappelone" in view of the sounding name Carola Belloni.
The best will definitely come to an end in the 2020 Sermon on Lent. To the sounds of "Eye of the Tiger" from the Rocky film series, Ludwig Schmid presents the four fighters for the Geretsried championship title: In the yellow corner the challenger "Larry, The Unknown 'Terwey", in the red "Wolfgang, Where's he pushing?" Schuh? '- Werner, in the green "Martina, We do something with citizen participation' Raschke" and in the black the incredible and unique "Michael, Die Honigbiene 'Müller". The latter is an allusion to beekeeping products, which the incumbent eagerly distributes in the election campaign.
Evil swipes put it on the FDP ("strong beer festival beginners, sometimes moant ma even politics beginners"), the Greens ("everywhere san's now in the election campaign. Only in the ice stadium you will probably be searched in vain. But no one will miss you there “) And the SPD, which asks on social media what the citizens of Geretsried lack. What the party lacks is clear, says Schmid: "Votes." But no matter who the audience makes his crucifixion with, the main thing is that people vote at all, because: "It's about nothing less than our beloved hometown Geretsrieeeeeed," concludes Schmid and leaves the stage with a standing ovation.
