200 Years of Oktoberfest | Photo Gallery | Group Stays | did Photoblog | Students' Corner

Dear Friend

Beer gardens, lederhosen and polka music... no other city represents German tradition and culture better than Munich. Those who have visited before know: This is where typical German Gemütlichkeit was invented! And this year it is particularly worthwhile to travel to Munich. In 2010, the Bavarian metropolis has a lot to celebrate: 200 years of Oktoberfest!

Oktoberfest took place for the first time on October 17, 1810 and is today one of the largest folk festivals in the world. Year after year, it is attended by more than six million people. The residents of Munich also call Oktoberfest Wiesn after the place where it is held, the Theresienwiese.

If you would like to combine your German course with a visit to Oktoberfest, you shouldn't wait too long to decide: Courses and accommodations are often sold out well in advance. Beginners with previous knowledge can start every Monday. The dates for absolute beginners can be found here.

Because of did deutsch-institut's central location near the central station, all of the important sites and the festival grounds themselves can be easily reached from the school. The exact train and bus lines, as well as the layout of the festival tents, can be found in the Oktoberfest flyer.

Aurelie from France: „I wanted to learn the German language for my career and did deutsch-institut seemed to me to be the best language school in Berlin in which to learn German. In Berlin, you are in the middle of the German culture. The variety, the historical background and the many activities were especially appealing to me. I have experienced an incredible amount of German culture and so I am taking home a fairly good impression of the capital city Berlin.” Read more
