Thomas Gottschalk, the renowned German entertainer, made a special appearance at the 190th Oktoberfest in Munich. The event, which kicked off on Saturday, September 20, saw Gottschalk and his wife Karina Mroß riding on the Marstall Festzelt wagon, marking their attendance at the festivities.

Gottschalk, who moved his base to Bavaria last year, has been gradually adapting to the local culture. He has even taken up the Bavarian fashion style in his new home. However, it was a first for him to wear a hat at the Wiesn 2025 opening, although the specifics of his attire remain unspecified.

Despite not being an avid Oktoberfest fan before moving away from Munich, Gottschalk has developed a fondness for the festivities since his relocation. This year, he expressed that the best thing about Oktoberfest for him is having his website represented at the event.

The location of Gottschalk's website at the Oktoberfest was not detailed in the article. The entertainer, who resides in Gräfelfing, a Munich suburb, was interviewed by AZ on-site at the festivities.

The weather during the opening of Wiesn 2025 was particularly good, adding to the festive atmosphere. As one of the celebrities attending the event, Gottschalk's presence added a touch of glamour to the traditional Bavarian celebrations.

The Oktoberfest, held annually in Munich, is a 16-18 day folk festival running from late September to the first weekend in October. It is one of the most famous events in Germany and is often referred to as the world's largest fair, with millions of people from around the world attending each year.
