Prince of Bavaria bashes Oktoberfest as ‘cultural appropriation’ that’s devolved into ‘wearing a costume to get drunk in’

By Nicholas McEntyre
Published Sep. 22, 2023

The Prince of Bavaria is bashing Oktoberfest revelers for “wearing costumes to get drunk” at the German beer festival, calling it “cultural appropriation” and blasting those looking to party rather than celebrate the traditions.

“When I see Chinese-made folk costumes made of plastic, pseudo-costumes with tight dirndls, then the whole thing becomes a carnival,” Luitpold Rupprecht Heinrich told German radio station Antenne Bayern, according to the London Times.

Heinrich, 72, is a member of, and the second in line to, the House of Wittelsbach, and says the low-cost outfits are an insult to the centuries-long festival, that began with the wedding of Ludwig I in 1810, an ancestor of Heinrich.

“We all talk about cultural appropriation today. Here it’s happening to us Bavarians!” Heinrich continued. “If the whole thing is just about wearing a costume to get drunk in . . . you lose a lot of culture and tradition in the process.”

The House of Wittelsbach is the former dynasty that once reigned in the Kingdom of Bavaria until 1918 and is the founder of the König Ludwig Schlossbrauerei, a 150-year-old brewery, where Heinrich is the current CEO and proprietor.

Dude's 72.  She better bring a drum of Viagra.

And a Prince?  Will Smith has more cred in his rule over Bellair.

Grouchy old goat! Oktoberfest is a celebration, not a set of cultural rituals.

By all means stop the the Oktoberfest! It's not like the whiner profits much during the cultural appropriation.

Would Prince Luitpold Rupprecht Heinrich prefer to celebrate other Bavarian traditions?



Now, beer frauliens don't seem so bad, do they?
