Germany’s world-famous Oktoberfest beer festival will reopen on Wednesday evening after police confirmed there was no ongoing threat, following a house fire, suspected suicide, and a bomb scare in Munich.

The festival grounds in central Munich were shut down earlier in the day as authorities investigated a possible link between an explosion at a residential property in the city’s north and a note mentioning the Oktoberfest.

Munich’s Mayor Dieter Reiter announced that the festival, held at the Theresienwiese fairgrounds, would reopen at 5:30 p.m. local time (1530 GMT) after police concluded precautionary sweeps.

“Police have told me there’s no cause for concern,” Reiter said in a video posted to Instagram.

The incident began shortly before 5 a.m. when emergency services responded to reports of explosions, gunfire, and a fire at a single-family home in Lerchenau. Investigators said the blaze was linked to a family dispute.

Police found explosive traps inside the home, where a man believed to be the suspect’s father was found dead. The suspect’s 81-year-old mother and 21-year-old daughter were both injured and are receiving treatment in hospital.

Authorities tracked the suspect, a 57-year-old man, after he fled the scene. A police helicopter identified him near Lerchenauer See lake, where he later took his own life. Officers initially held back from approaching because he was carrying a rucksack believed to contain explosives. The device was later defused.

A statement on Munich’s city website confirmed that the Oktoberfest grounds were closed “due to a bomb threat in connection with the explosion in northern Munich.”

Police deployed more than 500 officers and bomb-sniffing dogs to search the site multiple times. Public transport around the area was briefly suspended as a precaution.

Investigators stressed there was “no indication that other areas of Munich are in danger” and said there was no evidence of wider coordinated attacks.

Security has been tight at Oktoberfest for years, following past threats and attacks. The deadliest incident occurred in 1980 when a far-right extremist detonated a pipe bomb at the festival entrance, killing 13 people and injuring more than 200.

Authorities also foiled a suspected Islamist plot in 2009, and security was increased again in 2016 after a mass shooting at Munich’s Olympia shopping center.

The Oktoberfest, which runs from September 20 to October 5 this year, draws millions of visitors annually and is considered the largest funfair in the world.
