Star guest Naschenweng
Bauernbundball: Styrian costume in all its glory
16,000 visitors once again transformed the Stadthalle in Graz into Europe's largest ballroom. The Bauernbund Ball once again broke all records. The highlight was provided by a Carinthian: Melissa Naschenweng fired up the crowds.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen More Styria is almost impossible. Conviviality, music, dancing - and last but not least, a certain drinking strength. The "ingredients" for the Bauernbundball are the same every year - and the 16,000 visitors at the once again sold-out mega-event were once again not disappointed. Without exception, all guests adhered to the dress code issued by Bauernbund director Franz Tonner and showed off the Styrian costume in all its glory.
With around 8,000 bottles of wine, 20,000 liters of beer, 4,500 chicken and 4,000 pairs of frankfurters sold, the ball once again broke all records. The spectacle kicked off punctually at 8 p.m. in front of the main stage with a dance by the agricultural students from Murtal.
Willi Gabalier was once again responsible for the choreography. "The big challenge is that we start from scratch every year. Almost all of the students have nothing to do with dancing. But they all did an incredible job and can rightly be proud of their performance," he applauds his 34 dance couples.
Melissa Naschenweng heats up the crowds
The highlight of the Styrian record ball was provided by a Carinthian: Melissa Naschenweng fired up the crowds again shortly before midnight. "Being here on the main stage at the Bauernbundball for the second time is something unique, it's hard to compare it to anything else," said the 34-year-old before her performance, somewhat awestruck despite all her successes. "But as a mountain farmer's dirndl or now as an Alpine Barbie, I also fit in well here."
She makes no secret of the fact that she prefers the traditional event in the Stadthalle to the state opera ball in Vienna: "I've been to the opera ball once, so I've seen it once, and it was really nice - but I just feel more comfortable in a dirndl."
Melissa feels at home in Styria
The Carinthian feels particularly at home in Styria, and that's not just because of her boyfriend Toni Gabalier, who is also in the audience. "It's no secret that I feel very much at home in Styria, as half my team is from here too."
Incidentally, a free weekend schedule made it possible for Melissa to mingle with the party crowd after the performance. "I brought a second outfit for the occasion."
