Folk Festivals and Markets in Munich Page 1 Folk Festivals and Markets in Munich (27.02.17) In the course of the year there are always periods and special occasions for celebration in Munich. The folk festivals – be they large like the Oktoberfest or small like the Magdalenenfest – exert their typical Munich charm and amiable uniqueness to attract a great number of guests. Folk festivals are often combined with markets or fairs, which provide even more reasons to attend. During the Advent season, numerous Christmas markets of different characters cast their magic spell on visitors. Spring Festival The season of Munich folk festivals commences with the Spring Festival on Theresienwiese, where Munich sideshow operators present funfair entertainment for 17 days to celebrate the passing of winter. More than 100 showmen offer attractions such as the largest portable go-cart track and the longest mobile slide at the Spring Festival. A beer tent and wheat beer garden complement a variety of snack booths to provide culinary delights. Discounts are offered on two family days, making the folk festival particularly attractive for the whole family. A cascade of fireworks and musical fireworks are regarded as highlights of this folk festival. Traditionally a great flea market takes place on one day during the Spring Festival.

The market has the character of a folk festival and looks back on a long tradition. It was already mentioned in writings from medieval times and is organized by the Department of Labor and Economic Development of the City of Munich (RAW). Extending over about 22,000 m2 of fairground, the Dult forms an island in the heart of the city where fun and a cozy atmosphere reign. What is probably Europe’s largest tableware market, the lanes of merchants and specialist dealers, a Russian wheel and chair o’plane rides as well as many other attractions invite visitors.

The event takes place in the idyllic park directly adjacent to one of the city’s largest beer gardens. The small folk festival with a fair presents about 35 sideshows for entertainment and approximately 25 merchants offering a select range of goods from pots to wickerwork. Visitors can feast on roast sausages or skewer-grilled fish in the shady beer garden nearby and quench their thirst with cool beer or refreshing lemonade. Coziness and a friendly atmosphere make this traditional folk festival, which was first documented in 1728, especially attractive for families.

Water jousting on the Olympic Lake, kids’ days and activities for the little ones, live acts of rock bands and jazz musicians from the Munich scene at Theatron as well as sideshows for grown-ups and kids turn the Olympic Park into a meeting place for all those who want to enjoy a summer vacation at home. Date: Aug 3 – 27, 2017 Information: Olympiapark GmbH, phone: +49 89 30672414, fax: +49 89 30672222 Email: [email protected]; Internet: www.olympiapark-muenchen.de The Munich Oktoberfest “The barrel is tapped,” exclaims Munich’s Lord Mayor after broaching the first cask of festival beer and thus officially opening the world-famous Oktoberfest. For sixteen days (or some years more) Munich locals and hundreds of thousands of guests from all over the world flock to the “Wiesn”, the festival area at the feet of the Bavaria statue. The Oktoberfest has its origin in wedding celebrations of 1810 when Crown Prince Ludwig, who later became King Ludwig I of Bavaria, married Princess Therese von Saxony-Hildburghausen. The festive grounds in the midst of town are named after the bride: Theresienwiese, a name that locals have fondly shortened to “Wiesn”. The Oktoberfest is characterized by a distinct mix of high tech and nostalgia. About 80 attractions and sideshows invite visitors to have the time of their lives. In addition to spectacular large rides, there are funfair attractions with a longstanding tradition, such as the Krinoline (old-fashioned merry-go-round), the “Toboggan” and the “Schichtl Variety Show” that represent a living fairground tradition and can only be found at the Oktoberfest. The special Oktoberfest beer brewed by Munich’s six major breweries is served in the fourteen beer tents that provide a total seating capacity for more than 100,000 guests. The draft beer is the perfect beverage to accompany Bavarian treats such as radishes, Obatzda (garnished cream cheese), sausages, roast chicken and skewer-grilled fish. The ox roasted on a spit is another Wiesn specialty. Overall, some 85 small and Contact: Department of Labor and Economic Development München Tourismus, Trade & Media Relations Sendlinger Str. 1, 80331 München, Tel.: +49 89 233-30345 Email: [email protected], www.simply-munich.com Page 5 medium-sized caterers invite you to have a swell time. Reservations for the beer tents must be made with the respective tent operators; the reservation fee includes a voucher for beer and food. A list of the tent operators including the phone numbers for making reservations is available online at www.oktoberfest.eu. 2017 the “Oide Wiesn” (Vintage Wiesn) in the southern part of Theresienwiese will again offer a glimpse of the festivals of past decades. The additional festive area extending over 7.4 acres below the Bavaria statue comprises two festive tents and funfair rides from the olden days. Here visitors find a cozy atmosphere, tradition and customs, modern folk culture and festival fun. The admission fee is 3 Euros, children 14 years of age and under are free. The “Oide Wiesn” pauses in leap years (like 2016) when the Bavarian Central Agriculture Fair takes place at this area. The colorful parades are the highlights of the Oktoberfest. The festive prelude of Oktoberfest is the Grand Entry of the Oktoberfest Landlords, Showmen and Breweries (for the first time in 1887) in beautifully adorned carriages and splendid horse-drawn carts on the opening Saturday starting at 10:45am.

  • Russia's Armed Forces Defence Capabilities and Policy
    BRIEFING Russia's armed forces Defence capabilities and policy SUMMARY Reforms launched under Vladimir Putin have restored some of the Russian armed forces' former glory. Russia now has a streamlined, mobile and mostly professional military, equipped with modern weapons. The impact of these changes was visible in Syria, Russia's first military intervention outside the post-Soviet region. Despite this increased capability, there are demographic and financial constraints on Russian military power. The armed forces are not attracting enough recruits to go fully professional, and therefore still need conscripts – who are less well-trained than career soldiers – to make up the numbers. Moscow has spent billions of dollars on new weapons, such as the innovative nuclear missiles unveiled by President Putin in 2018, but not all branches of the armed forces are equally well equipped. Russia's increasingly assertive foreign policy raises the question of how much of a threat its military represents. Officially, the role of the armed forces is to defend Russian territory, but in practice Moscow uses military force to assert control over its post-Soviet sphere of influence, for example in Ukraine. Russia also uses hybrid methods such as cyber-attacks, including against North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries. NATO's overall numerical superiority means that Russia is likely to avoid all-out war with the alliance. However, the risk that it might use nuclear weapons and other niche strengths to escape retaliation for a limited attack (for example in the Baltic region) cannot be entirely discounted. IN THIS BRIEFING Military capability Russia's defence policy The Russian military in the service of foreign policy goals Arms control and non-proliferation The armed forces in Russian public opinion Russian Armata tanks at the 9 May Victory Day parade in Moscow.
