There are a series of tents (often called beer tents) at the Oktoberfest, which are operated by different Wiesn-hosts and in which some come from a long tradition. Some tents belong to the local breweries. The set up work for the tents often begins three months before the start of the festival.[1]
Big marquees
Armbrustschützenzelt
The Armbrustschützenzelt (crossbow firing tent) has been around since 1895. It has 5,830 indoor and 1,620 outdoor seats.Festwirt (tent operator) is Peter Inselkammer,[2] brother of the owner of the Ayinger Brewery. What is poured however, come from the Paulaner Brewery, since only beer from Munich breweries is served at the Oktoberfest. The German Championship for crossbow, 30m national discipline, takes place traditionally every year in the Armbrustschützenzelt.[3]
Augustiner-Bräu
The Augustiner brewery is the only Munich brewery that still delivers the beer in wooden barrels to the Oktoberfest. The tent has 6000 indoor and 2500 outdoor seats. The tent operators are Manfred and Thomas Vollmer, who also operate two large Augustiner restaurants in Munich (Landsberger Straße and Neuhauser Strasse).[4]
Bräurosl / Pschorrbräu-Festhalle
The Bräurosl is the tent of the host family Heide, who also runs the large restaurant Heide-Volm in Planegg near Munich. This tent traditionally holds the "Gay Sunday" every year on the first Sunday of the Oktoberfest, which emerged from a club event of the "MLC ;ünchner Löwen Club".
Landmarks of the Bräurosl tent are two almost 20-meter-high Maibäume (Maypoles) placed at the front of the tent. In 2004 a new tent was opened with 6,000 indoor seats and 2,500 outdoor seats. In 2010, the Bräurosl tent had 6,200 indoor seats and 2,200 outdoor seats.
Hacker-Pschorr beer is served there.[5]
Fischer-Vroni
The Fischer-Vroni - among the 14 large tents at the Oktoberfest is one of the smallest - received a new tent in 2006 with side galleries, which another gallery above the main entrance was added in 2011 and in 2013 expanded to include a wooden barrel stock. It has 3080 indoor and 700 outdoor seats. Like the Augustiner tents, here Augustiner beer is served on tap. Specialties here are the Steckerlfisch, a grilled spit fish. For several years now on second festival Monday it has come to tradition that the gays and lesbians "occupy" the tent. This tradition goes back to the now deceased gay host of the Prosecco bar who simply reserved some tables for his guests, and many other gays and lesbians joined in. Meanwhile, this tradition is so well known, that guests need to come early in order to be able to get a place to join the celebration.[6]
Hacker-Tent
The 90.5 × 43 meter Hacker-Tent offers indoor seating for 6,950 people, and another 2,350 outdoor seats.[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 revolving stage located inside the tent was also renewed. 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. The "Festwirt" (Festival Manager) from the Hacker-tent is Toni Roiderer, spokesmen for the festival hosts and innkeeper in Straßlach.
Hippodrom
The Hippodrom was first erected at the Oktoberfest by Carl Gabriel in 1902 as a snack and show booth. Until the 1980s, special features in the tent was a horse riding track, a hippodrome, where visitors could ride.[8] During this time a barker stood outside. In the Hippodrom, beer from the Spaten-Franziskaner Brewery was served. It was located right next to the main entrance of the Oktoberfest. Festwirt (Festival Manager) was Sepp Krätz, from 1995 till 2013, a tenant of the Waldwirtschaft in Großhesselohe. The concession was taken from him following a conviction of tax evasion.[9] The succeeding tent was the Marstall.
Bands played regularly in the Hippodrom. There were 3,300 seats in the tent and 1,000 outside. The Schlager group "Münchner Zwietracht" (Munich Discord) played for more than ten years every evening at the Hippodrome. Linda Jo Rizzo was presented as a "star guest".
Marstall
The Marstall took over the place of the Hippodrom as of the Oktoberfest 2014.[10] The host of the tent is the Able family. The Marstall offers 3200 seats. Another 1100 people find room in the beer garden and at the bar. Providing brewery, as by the predecessor Hippodrom, is the Spaten-Franziskaner brewery. Even musically the Marstall follows in the tradition of the Hippodrom, with performances from the "Münchner Zweitracht" and "Die Oberbayern", along with others.[11]
