basic information

the history

Wiesnstadl a seafood highlight at Munich’s Oktoberfest since 2013, was founded by Peter Lingnau, a seasoned fairground vendor since 1991. In 1993, Lingnau started out with a small seafood stand and gained recognition for his friendliness and delicious food. He made his first attempt at serving beer alongside his renowned seafood in 2013 with the launch of the Wiesnstadl, a comfortable tent with a maritime theme that seats 137 people and has a bar shaped like a fishing boat.

Known for its fresh catches and rustic charm embraces tent dining while staying true to its street-food roots and serving 26 different fish sandwiches. To increase its visibility at the festival, Lingnau moved the tent to Straße 4 Ost in 2018.
