Munich - 089 cult carnival party on Rose Monday 2025 in the Deutsches Theater
The MARKTWOMEN from Viktualienmarkt dance at the 089 KULT FASCHING PARTY in the Deutsches Theater
March 3rd, 2025 - A big surprise for all fans of the Viktualienmarkt
Munich. Munich has the Theresienwiese with the Bavaria, the town hall square with the Marian column and the Viktualienmarkt with the dancing “market women”. On March 3rd, 2025, an extraordinary event will take place in the ballroom of the German Theater: The famous dance of the market women, which usually takes place at the Viktulienmarkt, was actually canceled, but today we received a press release from the theater that the twirling ladies from the market will be dancing on stage at the 089 cult carnival party on Rose Monday. In any case, this party is an absolute highlight among the carnival balls every year. The press release read: "After the public carnival activities in the city were largely canceled due to recent events, the traditional dance of the market women on the Viktualienmarkt on Shrove Tuesday will unfortunately also be cancelled. As a small replacement, we have therefore decided to invite the market women to our Deutsches Theater and have them dance on Shrove Monday at the 089 Kult carnival party, which will again be presented by the radio station of the same name."
The 089 cult carnival party on Rose Monday is crowned with another highlight with the DANCE OF THE MARKET WOMEN from the Viktualienmarkt
Anyone who attends the ball can see the legendary Standl women from Viktualienmarkt dancing on stage. And here they join the ranks of legendary Munich mood makers like
- the main act: Spider Murphy Gang - a Munich authority and cult for over 45 years - with “Scandal in the Restricted District”, “Schikeria” and “Summer in the City” they will bring the hall to a boil
- Cagey Strings - who have been the cult band in the Munich live music scene for forty years -
- the Isar Indian Willy Michl - a veteran of the local music scene for decades and everyone here knows his anthem “Isarflimmern”.
- Everyone knows Roland Hefter from the radio station 089 Kult - here he has his own show together with Monika Gruber - he performs with his band Isarrider
- Los Poppos - the band has been known from Munich clubs and stages for almost 40 years. Once after one of the many performances in the Atomic Café, the Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote: “Los Poppos is a mixture of big band, brass band, honkytonk and gypsy musicians... Los Poppos offer an exuberant, energetic and self-deprecating stage show in which everyone does everything.”
The dance of the market women has been around for over 100 years
They danced at their stalls at the Viktualienmarkt until the 1980s. This tradition has been taking place on Shrove Tuesday on a stage in the beer garden of the market in Munich for 25 years. Their costumes are museum-worthy and their appearance is a piece of Munich's cultural history.
“Dance of the market women” (they insist on this choice of words):
Anyone who has ever seen or experienced the lively women in their colorful robes will be thrilled. The dance of the market women from the Viktualienmarkt has been taking place in Munich for over 100 years. It was brought into being to polish up the reputation of the “grandstanding market women” - at that time and until the 1980s they danced at their market stalls - the honey woman and her colleagues.
This tradition has been continued on a stage on Shrove Tuesday for over 30 years. They perform every year on the last day of Carnival at 10 a.m. Every year. In any weather. Then they float across the stage at the Viktualienmarkt in their colorful costumes, which surprise every year. They dance and laugh their way into the hearts of the audience.
A few years ago we were able to be present at the rehearsal for the dance of the market women - in the rehearsal room in Munich. Here is the link to our REPORT:
