It’s almost impossible to imagine Oktoberfest without the millions and millions of Lederhosen clad people singing and dancing in the Oktoberfest tents. In fact, Lederhosen have always been a crucial part of not just the Weisn itself but the whole culture of Europe. Today, anyone not dressed in the traditional Bavarian clothing option while attending Oktoberfest feels himself to be a fish out of water.
The traditional garb has always been a way of life for the people of Munich yet it represents a new and different experience for many tourists who partake in Oktoberfest. Lederhosen are unique in their construction and offer a peek into how the people of Old Bavaria lived and went about their everyday life. As such, Lederhosen have come to be an essential element of the event that celebrates the Bavarian culture. Let us take a look at how this is so.
Lederhosen & Oktoberfest have a long history together
The German Lederhosen shares a close history with Oktoberfest itself because of the cultural and geographical affinity. Lederhosen were invented in the 1700s by the peasants of Europe as a garment that would allow flexibility and comfort during hunting and other daily activities. These became popular in the Alpine region of Bavaria in the 1800s right around the time the first Oktoberfest took place at the wedding of King Ludwig I and Princess Therese. The celebrations were so tremendous that they were repeated year after year by locals of Bavaria and wearing Lederhosen became traditional at this event. Today, the tradition lives on as millions of people participate in Oktoberfest dressed in the finest Lederhosen.
Traditional Lederhosen pays homage to Bavarian Culture
Oktoberfest is inherently a Bavarian celebration, and nothing symbolizes that better than the Lederhosen. Ever since its creation, the Lederhosen have been closely associated with the Bavarian culture. They were adapted to the Bavarian style with the addition of a front drop flap and this style was so iconic that the French dubbed it “a la bavaroise” meaning the “Bavarian style”. Wearing authentic Lederhosen to Oktoberfest today shows your understanding and respect for the Bavarian culture, which is much appreciated by the locals of Munich. After all, it is customary to show appreciation for all local traditions when you visit Oktoberfest as a tourist.
