The interactive infographic overview titled "" [br-online.de] (designed for a separate pop-up window accessible ) was produced for the Bavarian Television website to reveal all sorts of statistical information surrounding the yearly festival in Munich. For those who never heard about this drinking carnivale: the Oktoberfest is one of the most famous events in Germany and the world's largest fair, with some 6 million people attending every year.
The shown statistical information ranges from the expected weather (cold), over the historical beer consumption (~1.643.204l), the used electricity (~2.960.000kWh) or the number of mass-fightings (38), to the total number of visitors from New Zealand (4). While designed in the German language, most information is self-explanatory. Try to click several times on some of the line graphs to reveal more detailed information.

The visitors counts are per 1000 (so 0.4% from New Zealand, 60% from Munich). The graphs show beer consumed in hektoliters [sold in 1l mugs, so 2009 they made € just from the beer. There are also rides], number of fried chickens, pork sausages and visitors. Which all dropped while the price for 1l of beer steadily rises. At currently 9€ [12$] it's remarkable how 759 people still managed to drink themselves into a coma. Also 1 in 30 visitors tries to steal a beer mug.
