The Oktoberfest in Munich has been stopped for the time being due to a threat. The mayor of the southern German city has announced this. The entrance gates would open at 11 a.m., but that will now be at the earliest 5 p.m.
The provisional closure has to do with a bomb alert in connection with an explosion early in the north of the city this morning. The municipality of Munich reports this. “The perpetrator has sent a letter about this,” the municipality writes.
Boobytraps
According to the police, a house was deliberately set on fire this morning as a result of a fight. Boobytraps have been found in the building, which are made harmless.
“Possible connections with other locations in Munich, including the Theresienwiese, are being investigated,” police write. The Oktoberfest is held annually in that area.
