I'm working right beside the Wiesn. I'm a Canadian living in Germany for close to 8 years. When you mention that they put up the tents and put them down, that sounded like it's a quick thing, in fact they start erecting the structures in June and as of yesterday they are far from finish dismantling it. It's roughly 5 + months work for the 3 week-ends. There is a huge crew of people and construction workers spending more half their years on this event alone. It's fun around the office when it's in full swing. We organize lunch at the Wiesn and some evening events. When people come to work waring Trachten you know how their day is going to conclude. :D
Des hoaßt "Kotzhügel" (Vomit Hill), ned "Kotzhollywood." Great video. I'm born and raised in Munich and have been living here for 34 years now. I've been to the Wiesn 100+ times. And, honestly, it wouldn't be half the fun without tourists. I'm as local as it gets but I appreciate all the people from all over the world coming here and wanting to have a good time.
Been watching a few of your videos in a row and somehow Australia came up in most of them. If that's on purpose I'm here for it. I feel like there's some weird mutual love between Austria and Australia. Aussie banter and humor track perfectly to my viennese sensibilities at least. The aussie pub being the highlight of your stop in vienna during the road trip felt like the most authentic austrian moment on youtube. Getting shitfaced, playing games that get you hurt and calling your best friends by slurs is the true AU/AT connection.
I love your videos😍 coming from a girl living near Stuttgart (where Wasen/ frühlingsfest is the equivalent) who dislikes these festivals - you really brought light to the nice side of things 🤭 keep going!
That one waitress has quite the Bavarian accent. Easy for you, because Österreich and Bavaria dialects are pretty similar. A standard northern German would have had more trouble understanding her than you did 😁
@@Austriankiwi I just wanted to mention the same. I think the main problem is that you tried to talk to them in German. So they tried to answer you in German which - and this is funny - is almost as difficult as for you. Most of these people who are from Bavaria and used to speak in a Bavarian accent like you do in Austria. I am pretty sure you would understand more if you would talk in Austrian for Bavarians will understand about 95% of what you say and same should work for you. There are some specific words that are different and the pronounciation in generall. But 95% of the words and grammar are basically the same. As for me I understand your Austrian so well I thought you were a native Austrian and you were just making fun about the fact that so many Austrians and Germans simply can't speak clear German. Btw: the place where the Octoberfest is held is called "Theresienwiese", named after Princess Therese of Sachsen-Hildburghausen who was married to Ludwig I. When going there it was considered with the place of the whole festival and that later made it to the nickname "Wies'n". :)
@@Austriankiwi You probably have more in common with the original bavarian culture than most people from germany of regions other than bavaria and baden-württemberg just because you are influenced by austrian culture
I lived for many years literally next to the Wiesn on Pettenkoferstraße- and I loved it. Of course, I went several times every Oktoberfest and I have not one nasty experience to report. Yes, the beer is much stronger, so to prepare yourself you have fresh Brezn and Weisswürschterl (which you order from Vinzenz Murr butcher beforehand) and a Weißbier around 11am at home, with friends or family that come over. At around 2pm you make your way over - we normally went first to Käfer‘s Biergarten for a Maß, maybe a Brotzeit and then onwards to Bräurosl tent. You always find a table to sit (which you need in order to be served) - but not on the weekends! So best is to go under the week, keep in mind thatcher After Wies‘n is Wednesday till Sunday, in case you want to party all night long. Pace yourself on the amount of beer, always have a water in between and something to eat. That way I have no problem to handle five or more Maß, over the course of several hours between 2pm till 10:30pm. For sure you meet sooo many new people you have adhoc fun with from all over the world. It really is amazing! I had once my sister and her best friend over for a visit, and when we walked home deciding to continue there were these people from France who parked their car in Pettenkoferstraße and still played music, so we joined them and more people joined in, that old man with a wooden cart filling ice cold bottled Weißbier walked by and sold us his beer, we danced in the street till 3am! Just wonderful. I went down at 10am and brought them a thermos of freshly brewed coffee and butter Brezn before they headed back to France. I also loved the time anyways, as Munich really turns into a vibrating international capital for the two weeks, supermarket workers in Dirndls or Lederhosn and everybody is exciting, normally the weather is gorgeous and the vines are so positive! I loved my time living in Munich. Now I moved tonte country side near the Austrian border and enjoy a more relaxed life. But we have Oktoberfest here, too!
Ohne witz, ich habe es nicht glauben können das du wirklich aus Neuseeland kommst. Ich als Deutscher kann dich besser verstehen, als manche Österreicher. Geile Videos 🙂
As a Viennese, Munich is the only acceptably german city to confuse us with. Everything else is a protestant uprising gone very wrong and as such, beneath us.🤣
amazing video. I've listen on my stereo headphones and it was a bit heavy on the left and then on the right and then on the left and so on. If my headphones aren't broken, then maybe that's smthing you want to keep in mind for future videos.
I was on opening day, first time in my life I spent 50€ on beer in one day, actually 4hours. I think it's so special, cause all generations go and are united. Same thing in a smaller city, and you only see old people, gray hair, eating Bratwurst. Trying to get a Bratwurst on Oktoberfest is quiet a challange. It exists. They have real food on porcellan plates. It has style.
I'm going to Oktoberfest for the Rides, this is the biggest Fairground (Kirmes) and as a Themepark/Rollercoaster Enthusiast, this is a whole other world at Oktoberfest. You have the most iconic fair rides there like Alpina Bahn and Olympia Looping, they are the world's largest portable Rollercoasters, they Icons of Oktoberfest.
I was walking home this afternoon, in Klagenfurt...a couple was recycling their glass in one of those green dumpsters: cases and cases of empty beer bottles straight from the back of their car...never seen so many. Prosit!
Oktoberfest is great - even when you only go there with your kids to have a good time, especially at the oide wiesn (the old Oktoberfest). But yeah: Most of the 7.3 million visitors this year go there for the bear and atmosphere. And rightly so!
In some videos, you can see, that the foam of the beer is half of the glass. I means it's impressive that the waiters can carry such heavy load but i doubt the beer to be 1 Liter. But it's impressive that you had a contract to, i don't know advertise the Munich Oktoberfest. But "Hawara, sauf net so fui"! Your beer consumption appears to be quite impressive but seriously, try to not drink so much, cause i had my uncle to "vomit his liver out" when he died. This is a seriouse thread when being an alcoholic. Best
You know the foam converts into liquid, after a while. There is no other way to serve it, and it most often fits. Drink on one day is no indication for beeing an alcoholic. Actually, having 10 beers, staying upright, not vomiting, is more a sign of an alcoholic, you show you are in training.
I live in Austria and I actually have an "I mog di" Lebkuchenherz hanging on the wall as a decoration. It's from my Austrian partner and it's now on the wall as a decoration!
Viel Spass ! ich bin dreimal in Deutschland gewesen aber ich war niemals bei Oktoberfest! Schade, in dem Video die Leute trinken viel und geniessen die Zeit unter Freund zusammen.
i don't watch a lot of German(even tho ur a Austrian Kiwi) stuff on here but your skits and stuff are amazing don't mind the subtitles personally i'm fluent in both :< would've been nice to see more of the Oktoberfest in the Evening because over the daytime it's mostly Family's :y still great Work
Echt interessant, danke! Starke Frauen! Ich war eine sehr schlechte Seriverperson, ständig fiel mir etwas am Boden. So lustig: "also.... ICH WEISS ES NICHT!" ich dachte, er würde etwas erzählen :-) Leider kann ich beim "betrunken sein" nicht so lachen, wenn man mehrere Familienmitglieder hat, die Alkoholiker sind/waren. Aber wer das ohne Sucht macht: Viel Spass
I'm from Munich. If family members from Poland were visiting Oktoberfest, I always showed them " Beer Victims Hill! I wonder, why nobody told you about it, and if really nobody of your " adventure team " had to take a break there?!? After over 40 years in Munich, I can tell everbody, without vomiting ( that's my Baustelle, after 5 mass), shiting them self or peeing them self a few times, you didn't party, really hard, at all🤣😂🤣😂😁👍‼️
0:39 Wiesn means "meadow" in Bavarian and Austrian --- it's Wiese in German --- "field" would obviously be "föüt" in Bavarian and Austrian and "Feld" in German -- at least for field the relation with English is visible ----- the spelling with "ie" is misleading as the sound is a long "i" and not an "ia" as one might expect
Or, in case of my gf, she buys a Gingerheart for me, cause I stay at home working, and on the way home, she is so god damn drunk and hungry, that she eats it all... year after year!
that guy at the start? 11.35 and 6 beer? no fucking way, he wouldnt be standing lmfao 6 liter of beer in 90 minutes, yeah no lol Also its the Kotzhügel - vomit hill, explanation is correct tho
So... if Oktoberfest is NOT carnival, why do they all wear Dirndl, Lederhos'n und Tracht'njanker? I remember my first and last Oktoberfest in the 1980's. Nobody was costumed like today. But: Kiwis as Penguins, that's OK for me! 💥🤡💥
@@hermisimon Dirndl and Lederhosen are NOT traditional clothing for townsfolk of Munich. In ancient times the people went to the Oktoberfest (Wiesn) in their black sunday suites and dresses. The Dirndl and Lederhosen fashion nonsense began in the 1990's. Before then, people came in their normal chlothes. Didn't you know that?
@@martinneumann7783You are right. Real Bavarian Tracht exists but is mostly worn in the Alps Region. And none of the traditional Dirndl are knee lenght or even shorter. That would have been quite a scandal back in the day.
oktoberfest is nothing someone can explane. its a stupid cultural expense. like chine new year or the hindi colour ritus or ramadan. if youre into the culture u have to du it. from the outside u dont understand why.
