The year 2008 was still without fear of terrorist attacks. Until the beginning of the decade it was possible to watch the construction of the showmen’s houses and equipment, the beer tents, in the period from July to September. The stroll in between was most fun a few days before the beginning of the Oktoberfest, everything was set up but wonderfully freed from crowds of people, staggering visitors or the noisy recreational commerce.
All pictures in this series were taken on the day before the start of the 2008 Oktoberfest. It was a day with wonderful sunshine, with bright colors, which intensifies the scurrility of the landscape.
In the meantime it is no longer possible to experience the construction of the Oktoberfest, maybe by the imposed distance that the fence around the Theresienwiese forces you to watch. Thus these pictures are also memories of a carefree past or witnesses of a loss of freedom to public safety.
