Dispute over Oktoberfest beer tents: publican files urgent motion
Germany | The allocation of beer tents at the Munich Oktoberfest is now a matter for the courts. The Munich Administrative Court has confirmed an urgent motion filed by restaurateur Alexander Egger on 12 May. He is challenging the rejection by the city council of his application for the “Schützenlisl” tent at the Old Wiesn, an Oktoberfest spin-off. His motion also calls the entire tent allocation process into question, which, if successful, could derail preparations for this year’s Octoberfest (19 September – 4 October).
