Munich Police Stage Oimara 'Arrest' at Oktoberfest, Post Desk Performance Video

The lighthearted stopover was orchestrated by a press officer as a Wiesn-friendly community moment.

Overview

  • A TikTok clip from the force shows Beni Hafner, known as Oimara, playing "Wackelkontakt" on a desk inside the Wiesn-Wache.
  • The visit took place on Tuesday and was set up by police spokesman Peter Werthmann after meeting the singer at a pre-festival briefing.
  • Werthmann framed the stunt as fitting the looser Oktoberfest mood, using the motto "Du kannst nicht ins Zelt, also holst Du das Zelt zu dir".
  • Officers reacted with amusement, with several singing along while others unfamiliar with him were described as mostly not from Bavaria.
  • Werthmann said Oimara also took an alcohol test and quipped it was "not negative", as his chart-topping single is touted as a possible Wiesn hit.
