Schwarzenegger with son Christopher at a white sausage party at Stanglwirt

At the 31st Weißwurst party on the eve of the Hahnenkamm descent at the Stanglwirt in Going. Even the supposedly “hot night of love in handcuffs” with girlfriend Heather after the “luxury watch affair” paled in comparison.

Instead, in a traditional way, together with Stanglwirt host Balthasar Hauser, after the “fanfare” sounds at 8 p.m., he transformed the white sausage cauldron – lined with around 2,800 guests – into a veritable witch’s cauldron. The crowd was huge when Hauser warmly welcomed the “Leitln” but then handed the floor over to “Arnold”, who again visibly enjoyed the hustle and bustle accompanied by his friend Heather Milligan. He didn’t allow himself to be tempted to comment further on the “luxury watch” that he “saved” through customs in Munich.

Instead, with the broadest Styrian winner’s smile, in the tried and tested manner, he praised the Stanglwirt over the greenest of clover. It is “his favorite hotel in Austria”, with the “best service” and the “best food”. The “Terminator” finally concluded succinctly: “Now let’s go eat.”

Former Secretary of State John Kerry accompanied Arnie

After the media crowd had disappeared following the “Kessel opening”, “Arnie” flexed his musical muscles in a side hall, as the Stanglwirt announced on Saturday morning. He “conducted” – an activity that he also enjoys living out at the Oktoberfest – with his son Christopher and the former US Secretary of State John Kerry, the Federal Music Band Going, which intoned “Allegiance to the country of Tyrol”. Kerry – George W. Bush’s defeated Democratic challenger in the presidential election campaign in 2004 – has so far remained in the background and has not shown himself to photographers. He is a good friend of Schwarzenegger and a “ski buddy” in Sun Valley (Idaho), where both houses are their own. When he leaves, he will probably be more visible if he accompanies the “Terminator”.

Schwarzenegger’s other close friend, the comedian and show host Matt Isemann, used the “music moment” to propose to his girlfriend, the criminal lawyer Britton All, the Stanglwirt announced.

Above all, the “Red Carpet” was extensively walked – still in the media. The associated and desired “equalization” – after all, the media’s thirst for knowledge of legions of media representatives was supposed to be satisfied in advance – could not be determined at all. Because after the extensive celebrity parade, all the dams around the opening around the Weißwurstkessel broke. The jump into the flashlight bath was announced and Arnie didn’t say no.

However, he did say “no” – and this is already traditional – to the official red carpet walk beforehand. Instead, the “Terminator” took the Kaiserstiege in Stanglwirt “in reverse,” so to speak. With a cigar in his mouth, dressed in his traditional costume, and Buddy Ralf Moeller in tow, he ran down the stairs without a word, only to emerge from the “ambush” on the first floor shortly before the opening, together with ex-model Barbara Meier and her husband, Investor Klemens Hallmann to move towards Kessel.

Beckenbauer commemoration

Other celebrities did it a little differently – namely classic including interviews and normal walking on the stairs. There would have been: Ralf Moeller, who willingly posed after the “staircase escape”, ski legend Karl Schranz, “Bergdoktor” actor Mark Keller, pop singer Melissa Naschenweng, the two frontmen of the band The BossHoss, DJ Ötzi, Andreas Gabalier , Fritz Strobl, presenter Sylvie Meis and pop singer Sasha..

By the way, there was also time for a thoughtful moment at the white sausage party. Stanglwirt daughter Maria Hauser remembered a deceased friend of the house, football emperor Franz Beckenbauer. With his famous song “Nobody can separate good friends.”
