Germany: Women conquer Oktoberfest’s toughest jobs | DW Documentary

The world’s largest beer festival represents deep Bavarian tradition and boundless partying. The flip-side includes alcohol binges and guests losing control. Many of the jobs at the Oktoberfest have therefore long been in the hands of men. But a number of women are now taking over what used to be male domains: they helm the giant beer tents, drive bicycle rickshaws and operate carousels at the fairground. We follow three women who give their all in this environment.
