Oktoberfest tents

Festwirt (tent operator) is Peter Inselkammer,[2] brother of the owner of the Ayinger Brewery.

The German Championship for crossbow, 30m national discipline, takes place traditionally every year in the Armbrustschützenzelt.

[4] The Bräurosl is the tent of Peter Reichert, who also runs the large restaurant Donisl in Munich's Marienplatz.

For several years now on second festival Monday it has come to tradition that the gays and lesbians "occupy" the tent.

[7] The tent was redesigned in 2004 by Rolf Zehetbauer in order to fit in with the advertising slogan of the Hacker brewery, "Himmel der Bayern" (Heaven of the Bavarians), in which the tent interior ceiling was elaborately decorated.

In addition, a 5x5 meter opening was installed in the beer tent ceiling, to which the operator called a “Convertible roof”.

The Schlager group Die Kirchdorfer have been playing there since 1994 as the official festival band daily from noon until 22:30.

As a show act, the Munich party band "Cagey Strings" plays daily from 19:00 till 20:30.

Festwirt (Festival Manager) was Sepp Krätz, from 1995 till 2013, a tenant of the Waldwirtschaft in Großhesselohe.

The Schlager group "Münchner Zwietracht" (Munich Discord) played for more than ten years every evening at the Hippodrome.

Even musically the Marstall follows in the tradition of the Hippodrom, with performances from the "Münchner Zweitracht" and "Die Oberbayern", along with others.

The Käfer Wiesn Schänke festival pub, which first made its appearance in 1971,[15] is one of the smaller companies at the Oktoberfest.

The festival pub is not a tent, but a large log house, constructed in the style of a Bavarian farm.

[16] As a branch from Feinkost Käfer, unlike the other tents, here special dishes are offered.

A notable aspect of this tent, with 8,500 seats both inside and out, is the 37-meter-high (121 ft) Löwenbräu tower with a movable lion who used to speak with help from a recording.

[17] In the Ochsenbraterei (German for ox rotisserie) tent, Spaten beer is served.

In September 1881, butcher Johann Rössler, had the first roasted ox on a skewer at the Oktoberfest and offered it in a snack venue.

[19] The first tapping of the keg, by the Munich mayor, every Oktoberfest is held in the Schottenhamel tent.

Due to the evening performances from "Die Niederalmer", which play Rock and Pop, the mood in the tent has changed, and the audience in the recent years has become younger.

One of the oldest tents at the Oktoberfest, it has a special feature: in 110 shooting range spots, the Oktoberfest-Landesschießen of marksmen takes place.

Paulaner brewery is the supplier for the tent, as well as various Vineyards and the Nymphenburg Sektkellerei (Champagne Cellar).

The Winzerer Fähndl can be seen from afar, with its large tower with a six-meter-high (20 ft) rotating Paulaner beer mug on top.

In addition to the 15 large tents found at the Oktoberfest, there are also the smaller tents, which are mainly the rotisserie chicken stands like Wienerwald, Cafe Kaiserschmarrn (Rischart), Vinzenz Murr, Poschners, Heimer, Cafe Mohrenkopf, Bodos café tent, the Inn in Schichtl and the Ammer chicken and duck rotisserie that, since 2000, only sells organic products.
