Overview
- The planned M-net drone display at the Isarinselfest, billed as a 13-minute tribute to Munich using more than 150 drones, was called off minutes before its scheduled 21:10 start.
- Thousands of spectators gathered on the Ludwigsbrücke waited for the show, which organizers had promoted as visible within a three-kilometre radius.
- A Munich fire department spokesperson announced that the drones had technical issues and would remain grounded, and there were no reports of injuries.
- Thomas Gottschalk attended with his wife Karina and later recounted the evening on Instagram, noting that the sky remained dark and that the announcement came via a megaphone.
- Gottschalk praised the crowd’s calm departure as he shared nostalgic memories and archival photos from a prior dinner at the former Kay’s Bistro; no rescheduled date or cause has been provided.
