Munich – The Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt district committee has now submitted its report on Oktoberfest 2023: “Unfortunately, there were some circumstances around Theresienwiese that could have been avoided or mitigated,” says British Airways president Benoît Blazer (Greens), criticizing the situation during the festival October. .
Anger at the Wildpesler is a concern for residents and politicians in the area: “On Oktoberfest weekends, there is chaos around St. Paul’s Square. Despite the police presence, people urinate on doorways, people vomit in the bushes, and rubbish piles up,” says Arne Braasch. , spokesman for the Pink Green Faction: “For residents, the situation with human remains is particularly unacceptable.”
Residents are disgusted: “St. Pauls Platz is Munich’s urinal during Oktoberfest”
Even before Oktoberfest, the region’s parliament called for mobile toilets to be built on St. Pauls Platz, but to no avail. This year, an 80-year-old resident submitted about 30 signatures for mobile outbuildings and improved cleaning in time for Oktoberfest.
It was useless. When the woman entered St. Paul’s Square in the morning with her dog, she was disgusted by the puddles of urine, broken glass, litter, vomit and feces on the sidewalks. “St. Paul’s Platz is Munich’s urinal during Oktoberfest, a hotspot. Rubbish bins are removed during Oktoberfest,” complains Arne Brach.
Drunks leave their feces all over St. Paul Platz
He saw drunk people urinating in St. Paul’s Church. “There are trees there, and it’s dark there. It seems like a perfect place for drunks because of their heritage.” Three boys urinate together at the front door. “What if it was just opened?” The local politician spoke to one of his unruly peers: “Don’t forget to give me your address, and then I’ll come and pee in your garden,” Brash told him.
“The worst thing is the poo story. What cannot happen is a chaotic situation where no rules apply because of Oktoberfest. It is a situation that all Munich residents must accept because Oktoberfest is economically important for the city,” says Arne Brasch. The BA committee is known for residents who go on vacation for two weeks from Oktoberfest — or move out temporarily so as not to be disturbed.
Next year, the cleaning service will be heavily advertised in Munich
Public street cleaning worked better than last year. “It was cleaned up faster in the morning,” Citizens said. But the remains remained stuck in the entrances of private underground parking lots, construction sites and entrances to homes. One reason: There hasn’t been a rainy day this year.
Arne Brasch ordered city cleaning of private property online twice this year. “This service already exists, but you can’t call it, you can only call it online. So almost none of the seniors know about it,” Brash says. BA Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt is therefore requesting leaflets as direct mail for Oktoberfest 2024 – and a phone number.

“Dixiclus is out of the question,” says Clemens Baumgartner, head of Oktoberfest.
As a “test”, the committee is calling for portable toilets to be provided on St. Paul Platz during Oktoberfest. Knowing that it may only be used 50 percent of the time. “We want to show residents that the city’s problems are important,” explains Arne Brach.
Oktoberfest President Clemens Baumgartner (CSU) responds that the city’s cleaning service for private areas is well known to caregivers and property managers. The service has been requested 70 times. A lot of advertising has been done through social media. “Staffed toilet containers are a real effort and very expensive. Dixieclues are out of the question because they can be easily destroyed,” says the head of the Oktoberfest.
