It has come to an end: the Kitzbühel society party madness has come to its end this year. And was once once more dominated and led by a man with a hard hand: Arnold Schwarzenegger. With its luxury watch “affair”, the “Styrian Oak” set the “reference time” right from the start and, making headlines, crossed the finish line with the best time – with a refreshment of white sausage in the meantime.
“Hasta la vista, customs” – that was what “Arnie” said before his long-awaited arrival at the Goinger Stanglwirt, his heart and soul hotel during Hahnenkamm weekends. On Wednesday, the Hollywood star was stopped and detained by customs officers at Munich Airport for three hours. He is said to have not registered a privately owned, valuable luxury watch that he wanted to have auctioned off at his climate charity on Thursday evening in the Stanglwirt.
Criminal tax proceedings were initiated once morest the 76-year-old former California governor; he forked out a reported 35,000 euros, which was not very painful for his financial circumstances. According to Schwarzenegger’s description, the whole procedure seemed bizarre – a “total comedy that would make a good police film,” as he told the APA. The “Terminator” naturally emphasized that his climate initiative would tax everything properly.
Having overcome the customs officers and saved the luxury watch, a special and unique piece from Audemars Piguet, in the Stanglwirt, the world star, as is always his way, duly dug into the trash can and gave the case a new impetus. “I was in handcuffs, but because I had a hot night with my girlfriend Heather,” Schwarzenegger joked at Thursday’s climate dinner regarding the Munich incident, which went around the world and also covered all American TV networks, online media and newspapers. A Munich customs officer actually wanted to handcuff him, the ex-governor was in a chatty mood. He answered her: “Normally I pay $500 for something like that.” In any case, it was a “wild experience,” He was only able to save a second watch by hiding it in his private parts.
In any case, the increase in value followed immediately: the watch brought in $270,000 at the climate charity auction – “sponsored” by Viennese entrepreneur Klemens Hallmann. In total, Arnie collected 1.31 million euros for a good cause for all exhibits on display.
In any case, the climate break was the first big society party highlight of the Hahnenkamm weekend – following the advance with the “Kitz Legends Night” on Wednesday evening. The second event followed on Friday evening with the Weißwurst party at the Stanglwirt: 2,800 guests and countless photographers and camera teams once once more created a state of emergency at the Weißwurst “Witches’ Cauldron.” Right in the middle: “Arnie”, once once more with his girlfriend Heather and – for the first time in Kitz – son Christopher.
The third big highlight in the group was the “KitzRaceParty” on Saturday evening in Harti Weirather’s VIP temple in the Streif finish area. Of course, the “Terminator” was once once more the center of attention, but this time an unusual “duo of four” gave him at least a little competition: Tyrol’s SPÖ boss, deputy governor Georg Dornauer and his girlfriend Alessia Ambrosi (politician of the right-wing Fratelli d’Italia). posed intimately and in harmony with the embattled former finance minister Karl-Heinz Grasser and his Fiona.
Between the “Big Three” events, the VIPs hopped back and forth between numerous smaller ones – and last but not least, the races. The Society’s program once once more included “long-running favorites” such as the “KitzCharityTrophy” (300,000 euros were raised for needy mountain farming families), the “Hummer Party” in the Kitzhof, Rosi Schipflinger’s “Schnitzel Party” or the state receptions of Tyrol and Lower Austria on Thursday evening. At the latter there was an incident with ex-ski star Matthias Mayer, which ended with a police operation.
This time the other celebrity armada, which waved back and forth like a party, was long and quite high-profile and remarkable. Without claiming to be complete: The ex-Formula 1 Zampanos Bernie Ecclestone, Gerhard Berger, Sebastian Vettel and Jean Alesi, ex-US Secretary of State John Kerry (in Schwarzenegger tow, but camera shy), Hollywood star Michael Fassbender with his wife and actress Alicia Vikander , the omnipresent music stars Andreas Gabalier, DJ Ötzi and Melissa Naschenweng, Hansi Hinterseer, who is regarding to turn 70, all-time Schwarzenegger buddy Ralf Moeller, ski legends from “Kaiser” Franz Klemm to Karl Schranz to Stephan Eberharter, Fritz Strobl, Aksel Lund Svindal and Felix Neureuther, actor Mark Keller, ex-top model Barbara Meier (wife of Klemens Hallmann), Maria Höfl-Riesch with husband Marcus, Runtastic founder and investor Florian Gschwandtner, presenter Sylvie Meis and endless many more.
High politics also followed Streif’s call, including: the ÖVP state governors Anton Mattle and Johanna Mikl-Leitner (Tyrol and Lower Austria), the omnipresent Finance Minister Magnus Brunner, Agriculture Minister Norbert Totschnig, State Secretary Florian Tursky (all ÖVP) and Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler (Greens).
A great icon, however, only paid a quick visit to the Gamsstadt, remained true to himself and renounced the hustle and bustle of society and events: Hermann Maier. The “Herminator” only stopped by the Seidlalm briefly on Friday as part of the descent at an invitation from his long-time partner Audi. Before anyone might notice, he was gone once more in top time. “We’re already gone once more,” said his spokesman Walter Delle Karth to the APA. The media “summit meeting” “Terminator meets Herminator” is still waiting in Kitzbühel.
