The fasting sermon at Nockherberg will take place digitally this year - and will be broadcast live on television on Friday.
The virtual guests also include prominent politicians.
Munich - In the run-up to the Derbleckens am Nockherberg - the traditional mockery of politicians at the start of the strong beer season in Bavaria - only one thing was clear: cabaret artist Maximilian Schafroth will appear live on television on Friday from 8.15 p.m.
The classic Paulaner strong beer festival as a face-to-face event was canceled due to the corona *.
So far, the exciting question has been how and whether politicians take part in the event via livestream - after all, the reactions of the politicians addressed also contribute to the fun of the bullying.
It has been clear since Tuesday: Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) and his North Rhine-Westphalian counterpart Armin Laschet (CDU) will be present at the fasting sermon on the Nockherberg in Munich * on Friday - virtually.
"They would be switched on online and can be seen live all the time, promised Paulaner boss Andreas Steinfatt on Tuesday in Munich," reports the
German press agency
.
"Vice Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) as well as Bavaria's Landtag President Ilse Aigner (CSU) and Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger (Free Voters) want to take part."
The recording will also be available in the media library.

Nockherberg fasting sermon in the empty hall - Singspiel is omitted, but politicians are under observation
Schafroth gives his sermon about the strong beer tapping because of the corona virus in the empty ballroom - the singspiel afterwards is canceled.
According to the
dpa, the
cabaret artist
thinks it is good that the politicians cannot hide, even if they are not sitting in the hall as they usually do when the politicians are stealing.
You will always be in the focus of the cameras this year too.
"The writing impulse is very strong when I know that those who are involved have to listen and be seen," the cabaret artist told the news agency.
While politicians have to endure ridicule and parody, they will not starve.
Beer and snacks are provided, said Paulaner boss Andreas Steinfatt.
In the meantime, Schafroth's task will be to recognize the comic in the tragedy against the background of the pandemic.
"It's not always elegant and beautiful, but if you lose your humor or forbid it at times like this, people will have no choice." He will bring out forgotten topics, talk about failure and look for people who smile with a smile emerged from the crisis, reports the
dpa
.
"Jeff Bezos and Markus Söder can certainly give each other high five," Schafroth alluded to the rich Amazon boss and thus revealed a small preview of the Friday evening program.
Last year, Derblecken on the Nockherberg had to be canceled *.
Shortly beforehand, the new hosts had rebuilt the Paulaner festival hall - with big plans *.
