Munich/Kitzbuehel – He belonged to the legendary Weißwurstparty like the Weißwurst itself: star chef Alfons Schuhbeck (73).
But the 73-year-old was not present at the 30th anniversary, which was celebrated on Friday in Going am Wilden Kaiser (Tyrol). The Hausers, as organizers of the huge event, probably feared too much hype about the convicted tax evader.
In November, the Munich regional court sentenced Schuhbeck to three years and two months in prison for tax evasion of around 2.3 million euros.

Stanglwirt boss Balthasar Hauser (76) to BILD: “Alfons Schuhbeck is a friend of the house and that’s why we didn’t invite him. You don’t do that to a friend. He even called himself.”
does he miss him “We’d have to ask people that. I personally like him, he’s an original. When all this is over for him, then he will surely come back. We are not judges.”
On the 30th anniversary, which was celebrated on Friday with around 2800 guests, the hotel manager said: “The Stanglwirt is timeless. If something is good, like we are, then it will last forever. We haven’t had a day off for 300 years – it’s proven. Only during the pandemic did we have to close for seven months. But we turned the minus into a plus and rebuilt and renovated a lot. We always turn the minus into a plus.”

Of course, Ösi superstar Andreas Gabalier (38) is also an institution at the Weißwurstparty.
He enthused: “Stanglwirt? Simply unique. For me, the return to joie de vivre. And important for society in such a divided time. Here you can forget everyday worries and problems for a few hours. A little island of bliss.”
Is the white sausage party better than sex? Gabalier: “Anyway, that’s Volks’Rock’n’Roll. It lasts longer. Like my concerts.”
He describes his relationship status to BILD with a laugh: “My life is a single existence!”
