Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - Wet and merry round in the marquee: Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann (Greens) visited the historical folk festival on Stuttgart's Schlossplatz. Except for a few absences due to illness, the entire government met in the "traditional tent" with pretzels, beer and brass band music. Kretschmann appeared in a jacket suitable for the event.
The historical folk festival took place for the first time on the 200th anniversary of the Cannstatter Wasen in 2018 and was originally intended to be a one-off event. Because of the great popularity, it is now to be celebrated every four years. The managing director of the event company in.Stuttgart, Andreas Kroll, expects around 500,000 visitors.
