No mood really wanted to arise at the Haarer Starkbierfest.
But that was due to the online format, not to Brother Jürgen Kiners’
Hair - laughing, partying and drinking together cannot be conveyed virtually.
There was no beer tent atmosphere at the Haarer Starkbierfest, even if the celebrator, pretzels, snack platters and of course Brother Jürgen Kirner's Lenten sermon were not missing.
Five spectators with Mayor Andreas Bukowski, District Assembly President Josef Mederer, kbo manager Martin Spuckti and brewery representative Markus Schleu are just not enough to create a real strong beer festival atmosphere.
"I see technology instead of happy people, it sucks," said Bukowski before tapping the beer barrel with two powerful blows.
But it wasn't necessarily about the mood, but rather about the signal that despite restrictions, culture does not stop, cannot stop, does not allow itself to be beaten and continues, emphasized Matthias Riedl-Rüppel, head of the Small Theater in Haar: “We show that we can also do it digitally. "
"Forgive them because they don't know what they are doing"
And even if the beer bank neighbor was missing this year, with whom you could laugh out loud at the punch lines, it was a real pleasure even on the screen, like brother Jürgen Kirner, "satirically under full pressure" on current events and politics with the usual sharpness Took grain.
And that in Haar, which is close to Munich, "where the grave of the remains of education" stands, namely the Ministry of Culture.
Where the freezing classroom was invented and spiritual nirvana reigns.
The quotation from the Bible "Forgive them because they don't know what they are doing" was seldom as relevant as it is today, the cabaret artist blasphemed.
In times when politicians with a disgusting greed mentality enrich themselves and find the pandemic exciting, while the virus plunges countless people into tragedies, grief and blows of fate.
Kirner shot satirical arrows precisely on federal, state and local politics.
The former mayor Gabriele Müller (SPD) does not have to grieve, "she has had the best years" and the SPD, like Kirner himself, is a decay product.
The incumbent town hall chief Bukowski is now finally allowed to show a little more dominance, "because a good portion of enemies is also something beautiful in life".
The mayor owes his armchair to the “kingmaker and court jester” Alois Rath, a digital junkie and video animator of the CSU, who never missed a front door.
Appeal: "Take care of people's problems!"
Kirner was stunned by the issues in the council.
“Do you currently have no other problems than looking after chairs in the council chamber, kiosk or benches?
Take care of people's problems! ”Political discourse must move away from watching each other, ignoring each other, and talking ruefully.
He would like a new referendum for more integrity in politics, less breeding from the test tubes of the Jusos, JU or Julis and more competence and grip.
It needs more people like District Assembly President Josef Mederer, who does clever core work without hanging it on the big bell, who lives the common good before my good, “but these types are unfortunately becoming fewer and fewer”.
In view of the upcoming federal elections, Kirner urged a clear head so that "democracy and freedom are stronger than a brown cerebellum."
"Tonight, as always, I said what I feel and think," concluded Kirner.
Even if it is not easy in front of an empty hall without feedback.
“But we are a cultural state, that's anchored in the constitution.” And shot one last arrow.
"I am an appendix of the cultural state and feel ripped off."
