The anticipation is great: the Olching Strong Beer Festival is on Saturday.
The 824 cards were gone in a flash.
Visitors can expect a two and a half hour program.
Most of it is still secret.
Only a little is revealed in advance.
Olching – It is the oldest strong beer festival in the district and, according to popular opinion, the most iconic Derblecken far and wide.
Olching's Fastengaudi is also sold out this year for its 41st edition.
The 824 admission tickets - that's how many visitors are officially permitted in the hall - were gone in no time.
The 280 members of the Kolping Association again had first access rights before around 200 of the 26 euro cards went on sale to the public.
After all, the majority of the club members are actively involved in ensuring that the two-and-a-half-hour program runs smoothly.
In addition to the 25-person theater team, up to 75 employees in the hall have their hands full.
Within four days, the equipment for decoration and stage design must be delivered and set up, the dress rehearsal must be mastered, the performance completed and everything must be gone again so that sober everyday school life can resume on Monday.
The Ratschkathln have retired
Which is why Philipp Kroneberg and Florian Schalk emphasize the team spirit before giving insights into the actually top secret program flow.
The threads that have been being spun in several working groups since the beginning of November come together with them.
Cheers: Florian Schalk (l.) and Philipp Kroneberg represented the team to answer questions.

Not much is revealed.
Just this much: This year there is a sketch embedded between two singing games without the ratchets Petra Huber and Ingrid Schediwy who have been chattering so far.
“The ladies have retired,” explains long-time chief organizer Charly Frey.
He has now also retired, but is available to advise his young successors.
Kroneberg and Schalk are already in their forties, but they represent the young Kolping guard who took on front-row responsibility for strong beer for the first time a year ago.
The transition was successful and the response was overwhelming.

New era at the strong beer festival
And so the strong beer festival should enter a new era.
“We are lucky enough to have a professional theater group,” explain the program directors.
This is required in the Singspiele and takes aim at local agitation.
The first article takes place in a children's TV show from the 1980s;
in the second act, humanistic education is revived to raise the Pisa IQ.
Will be updated until the dress rehearsal
Since November, the directing duo has been working and refining the texts together with the brothers Hans and Simon Decker, which are combined with musical director Harry Zethner to create an overall Derbleck work of art.
Up until the dress rehearsal, updates are always made so that even the last talk of the town has a smug aftertaste and is reflected in the minds of local politicians.
29 of the 31 city councilors have announced their attendance.
“We are particularly proud of this,” say the organizers, who expressly emphasize that the two missing city councilors personally apologized due to illness.
As usual, SPD mayor Andreas Magg and his CSU deputy Maximilian Gigl are held up on stage by their doppelgangers Michael Schwimmbeck and Maximilian Bauer.
“Already in pithy words, but not rude or insulting and always conciliatory at the end,” as the organizers emphasize.
Because strong beer makers and political derblecks have one thing in common: everyone (except the mayor) does their job on a voluntary basis.
Which is why everyone belts out the obligatory Olching anthem at the end of the evening.
Or maybe an encore, like last year.
The strong beer festival
begins on Saturday, March 16th at 7:30 p.m. in the middle school (admission and catering from 5:30 p.m.).
Kaltenberger Ritterbock from the König-Ludwig-Schlossbrauerei and the Amperator-Weizenbock (OBM) are served.
The Olching brass band plays.
