The politician derblecken on the Nockherberg is a must for Söder, Aiwanger and Co. This year there is a duet duel and a premiere.
Munich - For Bavaria's politicians, it is the third important date in a short time after Ash Wednesday and the Franconian carnival: the traditional Derblecken on the Nockherberg this Wednesday evening, February 28th, from 7 p.m.
Leading politicians from the government and opposition meet here.
Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) also doesn't miss the event to have the Lenten sermon read out to him by the cabaret artist Maxi Schafroth and to watch the musical play that follows.

Derblecken on the Nockherberg: “Duet duel” between Söder and Aiwanger
As BR24 reports, this year's piece is called “Nightmares”.
In keeping with the title, the ensemble takes their doppelganger roles into nightmare land: Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger (played by Stefan Murr) is about to travel to his “little private purgatory,” authors Stefan Betz and Richard Oehmann told BR.
There will also be a “duet duel” about the “very interesting toxic relationship” between him and Söder (played by Thomas Unger), said Betz.
The scenario takes place on the return journey from Carnival in Franconia.

For the first time, Agriculture Minister Michaela Kaniber (CSU) will also have a role in the Singspiel; actress Judith Toth will play her role.
That must have certainly made Kaniber happy: being bashed on the Nockherberg – i.e. being parodied and ridiculed – is, after all, a privilege.
Parodies from Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD), State Parliament President Ilse Aginer (CSU) and selected Berlin and EU politicians are also expected.
If you would like to watch the Salvator rehearsal live: BR will broadcast it live from 7 p.m.
