Hesse: The Frankfurt Oktoberfest also ends: 40,000 visitors

Frankfurt/Main (dpa/lhe) - Not only in Munich, but also in Frankfurt, an Oktoberfest came to an end on Monday - with around 40,000 visitors this season. "You could feel it clearly: people had a great longing for boisterous celebrations," said the organizers in the Hessian Main metropolis. 22 events in the tent in front of the Deutsche Bank Park provided "hearty fun" - with a spontaneous short appearance by the British singer Ed Sheeran. Almost all visitors came in dirndls, lederhosen or other typical clothing.

"To strengthen themselves, the guests consumed, among other things, almost 10,000 eggs for the Kaiserschmarrn and over 300 kilos of Camembert for Obatzda," the organizers said. So far, there have been zero corona infections among the employees of the 12th Frankfurt Oktoberfest. For every ticket sold, one euro goes to the non-profit Reiner Meutsch Foundation Fly
