Munich -
Christian Schottenhamel
, host of the festival tent of the same name, is currently suffering a bit from Weltschmerz in view of the Oktoberfest cancellation.

Only recently he was on the
Theresienwiese
and saw the empty square.

That was a
sad experience

Oktoberfest 2020: Corona pandemic worries the host
The landlord is worried about the economic consequences of Corona.
Gastronomy and the hotel industry are still existentially threatened.
“We will welcome our regular guests to the Wirtshaus-Wiesn * at the Nockherberg.
It will certainly not be a replacement for the original, ”he said, but“ at least a small consolation ”.
Now he is hoping that a vaccine or a cure for the virus will be found.
"The Wiesn simply has to take place again in 2021 - otherwise this city will lack a piece of Munich identity."
