Are there any (good) novels set in germany or europe featuring oktoberfest?

>> No.13943694

>>13943675
As a German, I can tell you that the Oktoberfest is the worst normie shit in the entire country. It has absolutely nothing to do with German culture; it's just an ultra-commercialized tourist trap. Even if it was authentic, it would be centered around Bavarian culture, which is the lowest manifestation of the German spirit. There's no point in going, there's no point in reading about it.

What he said. If there is, it's most likely written by a foreign author because the overwhelming majority of Germans don't really care about the Oktoberfest. It's a bit like Heidelberg.

Fyi like +80% of visitors at the oktoberfest are bavarian. It is touristy but only because no one likes all the gay carnival and kirmes events all the north germans have since they are so forgetable.

seething prussian because he knows all the world thinks of Bavarian culture when they think of Germany.
Most iconic cars: Bavarian (BMW)

Most iconic folk tradition: Bavarian (boarische Trachtn und Musi)
Most iconic german: (alpine-)Bavarian (Hitler)
Most iconic scientist: (honorary) Bavarian (Einstein)
Most iconic Sports Team: Bavarian (FC Bayern München)
Most iconic athlete in America: Bavarian (Dirk Nowitzki)
Most iconic german Beer: Bavarian (stereotypical Weißbier)

there's so much wrong with this list
>Most iconic cars: Bavarian (BMW)
No. It's Porsche for everyone with class.
>Most iconic landmark: Bavarian (Neuschwanstein)
Disgusting. Try Brandenburger Tor.
>Most iconic folk tradition: Bavarian (boarische Trachtn und Musi)
Most parodied. Yes.
>Most iconic german: (alpine-)Bavarian (Hitler)
Hitler was born in Austria, and he's not iconic for good reason. Try Goethe or (Hessen/Thuringia), Hesse (BW).
>Most iconic scientist: (honorary) Bavarian (Einstein)
Einstein hated everything about this place. Emigrated to Swiss and the US as soon as possible.
>Most iconic Sports Team: Bavarian (FC Bayern München)
They're a soulless company that ruin the league.
>Most iconic german Beer: Bavarian (stereotypical Weißbier)

Any good novels about WETTEN DASS..? presented by chad Thomas Gottschalk getting cancelled because a guy with jumping boots breaks his spine trying to jump over a moving car, causing a chain of catastrophes leading to an absolute rock bottom low where the show gets re-established with virgin Markus Lanz only to be cancelled a few sad episodes later?
