Munich (dpa) - A week before Munich's Oktoberfest begins, authorities are expressing concern about how the city will cope with the event's expected 6 million visitors, on top of the thousands of refugees currently pouring into the Bavarian capital every day.
Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann called for an increased deployment of federal police to assist local officers.
"If, during the evenings and at the weekend, festival visitors who have had a lot to drink run into as many refugees as we have had in recent days, things could get out of hand," he said.
The annual beer festival, billed as the biggest gathering of its kind in the world, kicks off on Saturday, when Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter ceremonially breaks open the first barrel, and ends on October 4.

These refugees are throwing out packages with food and water because it has a cross on it.
That would immediately bring hatred towards muslims forever. I went to Oktoberfest in Munich in 2010 and had a blast. One of the greatest vacations.....and followed up the following day to Dachau which was depressing. Quick sobered up on that tour.
All things considered ... REALLY great time with friends and fun
I just can't imagine anyone enjoying themselves so carefree like that knowing the culture was dying.
Yep! I guess they’re too “offended” to be hungry and thirsty. Must be nice. Normal people have to work hard to get those things.
I think that the Germans are going to have to TONE IT DOWN a bit, at least if they know what’s good for them.
Muslims don’t drink. Party on volks!
been to dachau.....sobering indeed.
wifey and I are heading to hofbrau beer tent (the BIG one..) on october 1...I will have an after-drunk situation report when I get back home to the states.
Would you please include me in that sitrep?
Dude, be careful.
There are numerous international political interests that would love to see a major, violent incident there this year.
Hold on there buckaroos.........Islam (the religion of peace) celebrates Oktoberfest and is respectful of all European/Anglo traditions. Ha!
LOL, their beer and sausages.
Acknowledged. We will be vigilant.
I appreciate the concern.
Germans may put up with a lot of bs, but I don’t know if they could handle that.
I’ve known some Muslims over here that go to bars and party, but only the men.
After they rape her.
Mein Gott!
Greece is having to deal with all those immigrants on top of their other problems.
Just like the Nazi jihadists did.
I hope you are kidding. I attended the draw mohammed cartoon contest and will gladly attend another one, even though it may not be “good for me”.
In Muslim countries the red cross has the crescent on their free stuff.
