As a modern city, Munich constantly accepts new residents of different backgrounds and races, and is a city with diverse cultures.

The Origin of German Oktoberfest

18 10 Bavarian crown prince Ludwig and princess Teresa got married in June of that year, and the official celebration lasted for 5 days. People gathered on the big lawn outside Munich, singing, dancing, watching horse races and drinking beer. Since then, this popular activity has continued and spread to this day, and it has been fixed as the Oktoberfest from the third Saturday in September to the first Sunday in 10. By 2004, except for the interruption due to war and cholera, the Oktoberfest in Munich has been held for 170.

Oktoberfest was originally scheduled to be held in 10, so it is also called "October Festival". However, the Oktoberfest was moved from 1872 to September due to the cold weather in Germany 10.

Oktoberfest always opens on the first Saturday after September 15 and closes on the first Sunday of September 10. In 2000, it was stipulated that if the first Sunday of 10 was 65438+ 10/or 2, Oktoberfest would be automatically postponed to German National Day (65438+1 0.3).

Because Germans regard drinking as a "compulsory course" every day, all kinds of pubs, pubs and inns are like stars in the sky. Munich, with a population of 654.38+00,000, has more than 3,000 beer halls, which are packed every day. Almost everyone who walks into a pub will order at least half a liter of beer to go with the meal, but people usually order one liter.

So "one liter" can be said to be a "unit of measurement" in Munich and Bavaria, and there is also a popular local proverb "Drink one liter in moderation every day, and you will be immortal in the health competition". People don't just drink at meals, they drink almost anytime and anywhere. There are "beer parks" almost all over Germany. As soon as the sun comes out, people flock to the beer park to enjoy nature.
