Overview

• Access to the Theresienwiese was paused for about an hour around 17:00–18:00 on Oct. 3 due to overcrowding before the site reopened.
• Fest tents and beer gardens limited entry to guests with reservations, and main entrances at the Theresienwiese U-Bahn station were temporarily closed.
• Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said searches found absolutely nothing threatening and described the Wiesn as as safe as before.
• A bomb threat on Wednesday delayed opening for several hours as police with numerous dogs conducted an intensive sweep of the grounds.
• Vendors reported significant losses from the midweek disruption, offered rebooking and voucher options, and organizers urged visitors to plan carefully for peak times.
