Oktoberfest tradition of the Bräurosl: The beautiful landlord's daughter at the Oktoberfest
There was a tent called Bräurosl at the Oktoberfest for the first time back in 1901, when it was the first tent with electric lighting. The tent was rebuilt in 1913 - the new hall could accommodate up to 12,000 visitors, which is still a record at Oktoberfest today. In 1936, the Heide family took over the tent and ran it for over 80 years, during which time numerous conversions and improvements were made to the festival hall. In 2020, the Bräurosl was completely redesigned and given its current look, with Peter Reichert becoming the new festival host.
The Festzelt is named after the landlord's daughter Rosi Pschorr, who is said to have been legendary at Oktoberfest for her beauty. To this day, a new Bräurosl is elected every year in her memory to look after the tent guests and ensure a good mood.
Atmosphere in the Pschorr Festzelt Bräurosl: Gay Sunday and RoslMontag
The Bräurosl, which is predominantly green, is a very Munich-style tent, with many locals stopping by, as well as numerous companies and regulars' tables. If you're out and about with the family during the day and need a bite to eat, the Bräurosl is also a good idea. The award-winning band Volxxbeat provides the right atmosphere in the evening, while during the day the Karolinenfelder band plays a more traditional style.
Things get a little wilder in the tent on the first Sunday, when the Munich Löwenclub MLC invites you to Gay Sunday in the Bräurosl. This tradition of the gay leather and fetish club has been cultivated for over 30 years and is now a meeting place for the entire LGBTIQ+ community. Because the Bräurosl is usually filled to capacity on Sundays, there is now the (unofficial) RoslMontag, where the scene comes together casually in the afternoon in the beer garden and at the back of the beer tent.
