Munich (dpa / lby) - Due to the corona in the empty ballroom, there will be the traditional fasting sermon for the strong beer tapping on the Nockherberg on Friday.
The cabaret artist Maximilian Schafroth reads the riot act to the politicians in the speech broadcast live on Bavarian television.
Despite the special situation, some of them will also be in the focus of the cameras this year: Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) and his North Rhine-Westphalian counterpart, CDU boss Armin Laschet, are connected online and should be seen live all the time, like Paulaner boss Andreas Steinfatt promised.
Vice Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) as well as the President of the Bavarian State Parliament Ilse Aigner (CSU) and Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger (Free Voters) want to take part.
The politicians do not become starved, while they have to endure ridicule and parody.
They received parcels with beer and snacks in advance.
The Singspiel after the Lenten sermon is canceled due to the pandemic.
