In 1880 there started electric light on the Wiesn. 400 booths and tents were lit up and provided for the typical look at night. With the next innovation the enthusiasm divided rather: the first measure from glass celebrated her move with the Wiesn in 1892. Many traditionalists fast held in the stone beer mug.
Because Munich was essentially smaller earlier, the landlords and organizers went from beginning on the Wiesn. Today this tradition finds itself in the move of the "Wiesnwirte" on Sunday morning .Since 1950 chief burgomaster Thomas Wimmer introduced a tradition known everywhere: Saturday at 12.00 o'clock he pricks on the first showed- the first barrel of beer and calls " O'zapft is'! ". Since then no more town man let’s himself take tapping.
