Sixth generation of showmen
I am Timo Kollmann — showman in the 6th generation. My roots go deep into the traditional world of the Munich Oktoberfest. My ancestors, including the Hochleitner, Pötzsch and Kollmann families, are among the oldest and best-known showman families at the Oktoberfest.
Over the decades, our family has been represented with numerous legendary rides, including the Bob Bahn rollercoaster, the Münchner Bahn 1 & 2, the Wildwasserbahn, the Jet Star and the Jumbo Jet. Spectacular attractions such as the Flic Flac ride, classic shooting cars, a cozy wheat beer garden and two Ferris wheels (outside the Wiesn) were also part of our family’s repertoire.
Since I was 18 years old I have been traveling with my bumper car “Scooter Zone” through the south of Bavaria, I am also represented at the Oktoberfest and proudly carry on the family tradition.
The next big premiere will follow in 2025: With the “Skylift “, a mobile observation tower with an impressive height of 91m and a viewing height of 70m, I will bring a real novelty to the Munich Olympic Park and the Wiesn.
After the Oktoberfest, the Skylift Tower will be located in Munich’s Olympic Park — where it will also provide unforgettable views.
Our family
has been active at the Oktoberfest
for over 120 years
and is therefore one
of the oldest families
at the Wiesn.
Over the course of many
decades,
many classic
rides have been operated.
For over 120 years
has been able to present spectacular
rides at
to the Oktoberfest
again and again
.
In 2001, Bernhard
Kollmann breaks the
record with a rapid
49 rollovers
within
150 seconds
in the in-house
round swing.
Since 2023, the
ScooterZone has been the
bumper car with
brand new
spectacular LED
lighting at
of the Wiesn.
