Impression of Jakobidult 2011

Last Saturday, the Jakobidult (Sommerdult) on Mariahilfplatz with the "summer (at night) fixed" started. Until 08/05/2012 Dultgäste are invited join daily 10-22 clock for strolling, shopping, and spectator. The program ranges from presentations on tours to music, singing and dancing. The Jakobidult is in addition to the May Dult (Frühjahrsdult) and Kirchweihdult (Herbstdult) each one of the 9-day Dulten Munich, which take place all at Mariahilfplatz. About 300,000 people visit each year, the three Auer Dulten.
A trip to the Jakobidult is particularly worthwhile on Tuesday, 31.07.2012, on the last day of school before summer vacation, which is also the family day at the Jakobidult. The Showmen offer rides in their stores that day at a reduced price and hope to be able to attract as many young visitors to the Dult. But for all adults is Jakobidult like every year, an experience that you should take in any case, for a summer in Munich without a visitor at the Auer Dulten is no real summer. That would be like without the Oktoberfest in October! (Yes, we are aware that the Oktoberfest takes place mainly in September.) Speaking of which, in October 2012 is the Auer Dult triathlon in the last round, because at 20.10. the Herbstdult opened. Schonmal diary!
The name "Dult" has its original meaning in the way a church festival. During a feast was in honor of a saint by the Church mostly built up stalls to deliver goods. Over time the word changed its meaning, however slowly. From the church festival increasingly became a carnival who enjoyed spectacular attractions with its increasing popularity among the population. The Jakobidult was first mentioned in 1310, namely in the statute book of the city of Munich. She was back in Anger, instead of today's St. James Square. Hence the name "Jakobidult".
Come and visit Jakobidult during the period from 28.07. until 05.08.2012 at Mariahilfplatz in Munich.
