Erding missed the flood of meaning.

You could read that on their faces on the first weekend of the festival.

Despite the pond weather and the final of the Swedish Games in the old town, the Erding fairground was packed on Saturday.

Erding - If you wanted a seat in one of the beer gardens, you needed a lot of luck, especially if there was a band on stage.

And if you wanted to satisfy your hunger at the many food stands, you had to bring a lot of patience with you - not much was possible without annoying queues.

And of course, the children had to stand in line too.

After all, not every stand had face make-up or airbrush tattoos.


“People are happy to be back here.

Everyone is happy and relaxed,” says Jaya Peters about the first few days of the festival.

At her stand, the graduate teacher sells "everything that makes sound".

But it's not just about selling.

Again and again, children get lost at the stand and try out the various exotic instruments that Peters has been offering at the Sinnflut Festival for over 15 years.


The 64-year-old was also present at the replacement event last year.

"It was a yawning void," she recalls.

"I held the fort, but it wasn't a nice festival." The many rules and the obligation to wear masks unsettled people.

Everything is like it used to be this year: “We are almost back to where we were before the pandemic.

People are happy and outgoing again.

Last year they were very reserved and shy.”


Doris Renner also testifies to this.

She greets the Sinnflut guests directly at the entrance.

On the left, where there are usually lots of children queuing, she puts on faces.

Renner is attending Sinnflut for the second time, most recently in 2018. “The festival has started off quietly so far.

It gets better every day.” People are happy to finally be able to celebrate again after two and a half years.

But: Renner remembers that there was more going on four years ago.


And apparently inflation is also making itself felt on the fairgrounds.

Renner observed that people had become more selective: "They are keen to buy, but they choose better what they spend money on."


Asegid Schnebel from Wolnzach has had a 20-year break from Sinnflut and is back this year with her bag stand.

“There are a lot of visitors,” she says.

"And you can tell: she's happy that everything has normalized." She can't draw a comparison to the alternative flood of the past year.

But now people are back to life.

"At previous events they were very reserved and didn't touch everything.

That's over again."


But she can already draw a comparison to Sinnflut 20 years ago: “I think it was a bit smaller back then and the audience was still very alternative.

Today the broad masses come”, she says and laughs.


Sinnflut is therefore more suitable for the masses.

Is it bad?

At least the security staff had nothing negative to report on Saturday evening.

"It's been wonderful so far, everyone is relaxed," says Hasan Helvaci.

The man from Munich is working for Sinnflut for the first time, “but our colleagues told us how it was last year.

They probably had a stressful time because of the mask requirement.” This year, on the other hand, everything has been very quiet so far.

“Of course there are a few drunks, but they too have been very peaceful and insightful so far.

And when the music stops at some point, everyone disappears without warning.”
