Gillamoos at dusk

When the sun gets a bit milder and one in the morning with a jacket when the dew glistens in the morning in the meadows and the days the first breath shortly Register says the Abensberger that gillamooselt.

Then it's usually the end of August and the oldest and largest fair of Hallertau opens its doors for five days. This year, the Gillamoos began on 2 September and ended as always with a colorful and full Gillamoosmontag on 6 September.

In between were days full of colorful Dirndl, dashing costumes, brass bands and show bands, menus served consisting of cotton candy, Bratwurst and half chicken on fresh pretzels, a little cheese and a beer stein or a cyclist.

than 250,000 visitors, the city Abensberg, captured in the five days of the Oktoberfest, where once started everything with a horse market.

The Gillamoos is mentioned in the 1313 first documented. In the church of St. Gilgen on the moss each year on the first Sunday in September a horse market was held. This led to the Gillamoos, celebrated since 1583 on the current fairground.

Even today, the Abensberger celebrates with his visitors and lots of love. The author of this article, incidentally, they we left five days on the festival, to record impressions and you desire to do more.

It is even said that so many a Abensberger has already saved his vacation money, so he does Gillamoos celebrate properly. In four large beer tents, wine tent and the wheat beer brewery barn Kuchlbauer is awarded to the regional hops in beer form in the "streets" to find international dishes as well as regional specialties, mackerel and typical Bavarian dishes such as roasted pork with dumplings. On Sunday there's a hearty roast beef or a duck, dumplings with a perfect classical or Emmentaler cheese other fine enjoyment.

The "native" Abensberger claims to be, only once to get to the Gillamoos. On Thursday, out on Monday back. The Oktoberfest was his living room and you meet people you meet on the other just only Gillamoos.
This has changed a bit, you look over at home, yet the festival is still one of the largest and holds with its many Activities for all tastes.

presented on Thursday, the Gillamoos in the bright lights of fireworks on Friday pulling out of the city to the Oktoberfest and the city leaders to Taferlbuam, the Ochsner of the brewery and the brewery carts is one in a festive train move.

On Saturday there's something for the children. Funny driving, waiting in line at the children's carousel and Punch and Judy are inevitable. And that so many daddy needs a drink in the beer tent is, of course. For a trip on the flier is exciting, almost same as the ones in the raffle or the feeling of being shot by a ball bungee rope in the air.

A pretzel ghört dazua!

Sunday begins with the traditional church service, before returning with sweet celebration with family and conquered the market stalls. There you will get a gutsy costume on the fly, like a belt or bed beater, cooking pots and other curiosities that will be one of the cheap sale Jakob charming and with a snappy slogan. By the way, our expert recommends: grapes Yet. Why? That is their tradition and we see many stalls with the sweet fruits that are waiting rearranges well to buyers.

If you have the socks, belts, wallets, spices and teas, pans and tractor concern for the sand box, you can relax a little. In fine weather, preferably in the beer gardens where there will also coffee, cakes and as always, to feast on hearty.

cattle market on the Gillamoos

is on Monday's get hot. Since then there many animals, large and small critters.

The little critters can buy. Since there's rabbits, puppies, chickens, ducks, ponies and horses, donkeys and sheep, even for home use on the go. For parents do not always easy because the Haserl are so sweet and the chicken so pitiful whimpers and the children often has a big heart.

The great beasts, that politicians such as the Nichtabensberger call them, you can marvel at the political Gillamoos-Monday in the beer tents. Let's get started early at the crack of god. With white sausages and pretzels in the mood for the visitors. On the Montagsviecherei. After the people have gathered in the beer tents, the politicians declare their political thoughts. Of course, not without a little competition on the present move here. To 'rough lick "as they say in Bavaria.

• Dr. Markus Söder (CSU), Bavarian State Minister for Environment and Health in the Hofbräuhaus tent
• Siegmar Gabriel (SPD), party chairman in Jungbräuzelt,
• Dr. Philipp Rösler (FDP), Federal Minister for Health in the wine tent,
• Sven Giegold, Euro-MP for the Alliance 90/The Greens in the inn "Zum Kuchlbauer" on the square Abensberg, Hubert Aiwanger (FW), National Chairman and Bernhard Pohl (FW), member of the Bayern LB Control Commission in the White Beer blame.

Johanna Koller, the Dirndl Queen 2009 -2010

Another highlight of the festival the following evening, at the end, because then choose the " Gillamoos - Dirndl Queen , then for a year, the traditions and customs of the festival outwards with and represents.

This year Lisa was useful from Abensberg, the congratulations! It is an anniversary Dirndl Queen, because this year chose the 40th Abensberger times!

And when the lights go out permanently, the Losbuden the remaining pack gains Market vendors store their sweaters again, and the one or the other can only whisper because he had such a fun and of course singing along, swaying and had to celebrate, then the Gillamoos is over and all move back home. One last ice cream, a last look, one last shot at the shooting gallery, one last time, a crepe, then it after Gillamoos and autumn has arrived.

But one should not forget, after the Gillamoos before Gillamoos and next year, sometime in August when the dew glistens in the morning on the Wiesn, then the Abensberger is looking forward again, and with many Other fans of the fair too!

And you? When we welcome you? Our author has, incidentally recovered. Five days Gillamoos are demanding, she says, and needed a day off smoothly. But every year about this time she is waiting that the first tent host positions the first post to his tent at the Oktoberfest in front of the city and it starts again, the Gillamooseln ..
