The largest influx of refugees seen in decades in Germany has run smack into what Munich calls the world's biggest popular festival, starting Saturday, creating a massive headache for security forces and leaving some locals nervous about an awkward culture clash.
Sipping a lager in a beer garden opposite the sprawling Wiesn grounds of the Oktoberfest, Stellenberger says she is "proud" of her hometown for welcoming war-weary Syrians and Iraqis with an outpouring of donations and hospitality.
"But I wonder where it's going to stop," she said, referring to the nearly 75,000 migrants who have arrived in the region since September 1.
"How many more are coming? Where will they all sleep, who will feed them? We want to help but there are also poor Germans who need help too."

After complaints by local authorities that they were overwhelmed by the newcomers, Germany suddenly announced Sunday that it would impose border checks to stem a tide of migrants to Munich, where most taking the so-called Balkan route to Germany arrived first.
The same night, state leader Horst Seehofer let it slip that Oktoberfest -- now in its 182nd year -- had also been on his mind when he pushed for the policy change.
"I asked today for appropriate measures to be taken during the two weeks of Oktoberfest so that Munich does not remain the first port of call that it now is," said Seehofer, a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition who has sparred with her on the refugees issue.

A similar “problem” will exist on Italy where one enjoyable passtime is enjoying a nice lunch with wine in a sidewalk cafe is enjoyed by everyone. I never saw as much wine being drunk as in Rome.
You must have “visualized” that in your head. Pretty stark image.
Germany asked for this; Germany deserves it.
The Germans need to get over it — and start deporting Muslims.
Have fun !

True but, there is more at stake.
If Europe falls to the Caliphate, then all of civilization will soon be in mortal peril.
Well, what can we do? Defend Europe? They don’t want us. F ‘em.
What we CAN do is build a wall and elect a President who will stop the muzzies from coming here.
Change it to this:
neat!
Undt wienerschnitzel mit schweinefleish kabob???
“’How many more are coming? Where will they all sleep, who will feed them? We want to help but there are also poor Germans who need help too.’
“Yes, it’s time to wake up chickie.”
Say they take in 500,000 refugees. Say the government in the next year spends $50,000 on each one, which I believe is a conservative estimate. That is $25 billion dollars by my calculations. Germany has that much surplus in their budget? Wow! They really are a rich country!
And that’s just the first year. It will go on for generations. I guess there will never be retirement for native Germans after this.
Weißwurst, senf und Ayinger Märzen, sehr gut!
“Undt wienerschnitzel mit schweinefleish kabob???”
KEBAB! Nein dreck! Ziege nahrung.
If Germans will fight for anything anymore, it will be blonde babes in low cut blouses with beer.
Thanks :)
Muslim hordes verboten!
This is very simple, really.
You invited then, out of the goodness of your hart, gave them clothing, food and shelter.
Now... there is only one thing left... your country.
And, that is how it works!
