It had to recover substantially from both World Wars in the first half the 20th century. During World War II it suffered greatly from bombing raids.

The first Oktoberfest occurred in 1810, to celebrate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. Six million people attend every year. Special beer is brewed for the festival. Food is an important part of Oktoberfest; Attendees eat special to the region white sausages called Weisswurst, beer, and pretzels.
