IN MÜNCHEN STEHT EIN HOFBRÄUHAUS.

Ein!  Zwei! 'Suffe!  "Roughly 6.7 million people flocked to Oktoberfest in Munich in recent weeks, consuming 7 million 1-liter mugs of beer. Both police and ambulance services were less busy than usual."

Of course, you go to Oktoberfest for the food!

Organizers reported a year-on-year increase of around 9% in sales of meals in both smaller tents and at the larger venues.

"The undefeated bestseller remains the roast chicken," they said of the Bavarian Hendl dish, which state Premier Markus Söder said earlier in the festival was an almost daily staple for him during Oktoberfest. Söder departed on a trip to Egypt before the festivities in Munich concluded.

The Lost and Found was predictably busy, but no live rabbits this year!

Some 3,500 items were collected at the event's lost and found this year, with around 800 of them since returned to their owners.

These included the classics, for instance around 700 wallets and 700 items of clothing, 500 ID cards, 315 cellphones, 300 pairs of glasses or sunglasses, 160 bags and 60 umbrellas.

Organizers also listed the "most curious" finds, including 16 sets of Lederhosen, one set of light-duty metal handcuffs, and "various pairs of women's shoes," which they guessed might have been abandoned by women who had bought souvenir branded sandals from the stalls.

"This year's trend of buying [traditional Bavarian fabric hats known as] Trachtenhüte, observed by souvenir traders, was reflected in the high number of items of headgear handed in," organizers said.

Five wedding rings were misplaced; as of Sunday, only three had been reclaimed.

Oh, and if you want that souvenir Maß, it might be wise to purchase it. "Security guards at the exit also prevented roughly 98,000 cases of people trying to take one extra souvenir — their beer mug — home from the festivities undetected."
