The origin of the band “Platzl-Oktoberfestkapelle” centres around the “Armbrustschützen” (cross bow men) tent.
During the last 6 decades, the brass band “Unterbrunner”, conducted by Adolf Beham for more than 35 years, provided the musical ambience in this tent.
Since 1990, the “Armbrustschützen” tent has been successfully managed by the Inselkammer family, a name which has been closely connected to the “Platzl” in the centre of Munich since the 50’s.
