Thomas Gottschalk Questions Munich Noise Rules After Oktoberfest Visit

His Instagram note highlights differing noise limits for bars versus street performers.

Overview

  • The 75-year-old TV veteran attended the Wiesn opening with his wife Karina Mroß, taking part in the tapping and lunching at the Marstall before a quiet evening at the Josefa Karree.
  • He noted that a bar had to switch off musical accompaniment at 20:00 while an amplified singer outside performed until 22:00.
  • Entertainment outlets reporting on his post said the images suggested he still enjoyed the day despite the complaint.
  • As of the latest reports, there was no documented response from Munich’s Ordnungsamt to his criticism.
  • The comments came as the 190th Oktoberfest operates under tighter local rules, with coverage also highlighting celebrity appearances such as Lilly Becker’s keg-tap and brief encounter with a bailiff.
