Further insights are provided by master gardener Rainer Locher, who decorates the festival tent with flowers, and the Kritz family of rides, who operate various attractions and thus liven up the festival. 00:00 Behind the scenes of the Cannstatter Volksfest Ralf is the groundskeeper of the Cannstatter Wasen and has his hands full before the festival. He takes care of everything - from potholes to water pipes. His trade as a carpenter helps him to improvise when there are bottlenecks. He makes sure that the festival runs smoothly, from the emergency stairs to the power connections. Everything has to be perfect before the visitors arrive. 04:30 Strohbach family of grocers with 50 years of Wasen tradition The Strohbach family has been an institution at the Cannstatter Wasen for over 50 years with their household goods stand. With traditional items such as cookie cutters, brushes and spaetzle boards, they maintain the legacy of Manfred Strohbach, who died unexpectedly in 2019. His family continues to run the business with a lot of heart and commitment and his iconic moustache is now the logo of the stand. 09:36 Gardener creates a festive atmosphere with flowers Rainer is a master gardener and decorates and cares for the plant decorations in a Cannstatter festival tent. He makes sure that the flowers and hops look perfect, even when the plants are damaged after wild nights of partying. With hard work and a sophisticated irrigation system, he ensures that the festival tent looks good until the last day. Despite the daily challenges, such as destruction or smells, he doesn't let it get him down. 14:38 The Kritz ride family rocks the Wasen The Kritz family has been running rides at the Cannstatter Volksfest for decades.
