The derblecken was pretty hearty this year, with Lenten speaker Schafroth sharply criticizing the political celebrities.

Aiwanger, his brother and dealings in politics are the focus of the Lenten speech at the strong beer tapping.
Preacher Maxi Schafroth giggles less than last year, distributes sharply and is once again fundamental.
Munich - The farmers' protests also have the Nockherberg under control - at least thematically.
Lenten preacher Maximilian Schafroth, dressed in a yellow safety vest, announces himself via megaphone on his way to the stage on Wednesday evening.
“The hall is surrounded,” his warning echoes through the rows.
“A manure pressure tank is connected to the hall sprinkler system.” Really?
No.
Of course it's just fun, like almost everything here - even if these jokes have stuck in the throats of many important and less important guests like a dry piece of pretzel over the past years and decades.
This time too, the evening could still lead to discussions.
Nockherberg 2024: Schafroth not only distributes harshly, but also with a raised index finger
Because Schafroth not only distributes things with severity - sometimes so that a murmur goes through the audience - but also likes to raise his index finger.
Already in the evening it becomes clear that for some people this is too much of a good thing.
First of all, the severity: Schafroth doesn't just take up the protests, he also puts a few rattles on the Bavarian Farmers' Association (BBV) behind them.
A family business that believes it is well represented by the “large agrarian lobbyists” in the BBV, “that’s like a chicken demanding its basic rights from the Wiesenhof company,” says the 39-year-old.
A trained farmer in particular is having a tough time this evening.
Hubert Aiwanger – “the political self-indulgent: a certain sharpness, but it often leads to blindness”.
The Free Voters leader claims to be “one from below”, but is still hitting it from above.
“Hubert, this contortion of character only dominates an invertebrate existence like you.” That’s pretty pithy even by Nockherberg standards.
And then of course the matter with Aiwanger's brother, who is said to have written the leaflet that turned the Bavarian state parliament election campaign on its head decades later.
A template that Schafroth records several times – and even dedicates his own song to it.
Five Aiwangers with school bags and barrel organs are on stage.
The assessment of the Economics Minister and Deputy Prime Minister is almost a bit appreciative: If the CSU cabinet is the puppet box, "then Hubert is the puppet without strings that everyone is afraid of - Hubert Chucky Aiwanger, could" ma say.”
Maximilian Scharoth shoots against Söder on the Nockherberg: “That’s brave for a Franconian”
In general, Söder's front row has to take the hit for their alleged submissiveness.
“Herrmann, Füracker, Holetscheck” – who would obediently lower their heads like altar boys when “Monsignor” Söder entered the room.
“Like my grandma shortly before communion,” Schafroth is reminded.
Anyone who knows the CSU stable knows how the “actionism” of parliamentary group leader Holetschek should be viewed – namely as “the confused jumps in the air of a dairy calf that knows: If it puts on too much muscle, the shuttle bus will come to Vinzenzmurr”.
Of course, Söder himself is also targeted by Schafroth.
“You have denied the Greens the Bavarian gene.
Markus, that’s brave for a Franconian,” says the Allgäu native.
Especially because it wasn't even three years ago that "the CDU denied you the German gene."

Schafroth laughs less than last year - Greens get off relatively lightly
Last year, Schafroth's speech caused a stir.
Some people subsequently accused him of too much criticism of the state government and too little of the Greens and the SPD.
Others, on the other hand, celebrated the moral and almost serious tone that the cabaret artist took when it came to freedom of speech and xenophobia.
In 2023, what was almost more important than the content was what Schafroth did between his words.
He giggled often and quite extensively - which quite a few viewers found inappropriate or even annoying.
Schafroth himself also admitted afterwards: “A little less laughing would have done the trick.” The cabaret artist still laughs again on Wednesday - although not nearly as often or shrilly.
However, the Greens got off relatively lightly this time too.

In addition to the absent Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck, it is the Bavarian parliamentary group leader Katharina Schulze who has to take the hit.
Together with her state parliament colleague Ludwig Hartmann, Schafroth describes her as “Peter Pan and little bells – full of ideals, but in the end very overwhelmed by reality”.
Schafroth also alludes to Schulze's pronounced love of communication.
In the country you score points by listening.
Extra note to “Katha”: “Listening is the opposite of talking.” The Bavarian SPD, on the other hand, dismisses Schafroth almost with pity.
It is “significant that as someone who is supposed to criticize you, I pat you on the back and say: It will happen again.”
And Schafroth's announcement to the AfD doesn't sound funny at all: "You're not sitting here because there are no people sitting here who tolerate right-wing extremists in their ranks." Like last year, it's going to be in between - keyword pointing finger - and especially at the end always quite fundamental and moral.
Schafroth calls for verbal “disarmament instead of rearmament”.
To “listen, even if it hurts, not to deny your opponent’s reason, to shed light on a political problem from multiple sides in God’s name.”
And anyone who expresses an opinion has to endure headwinds.
“It’s also part of my job.”
