Six groups of figures can be seen on the landmarks at the Viktualienmarkt. Much of it revolves around the theme of "beer".

Duke Albrecht IV, the "father of the Munich Purity Law" is depicted, as is a brewery team and the Munich breweries. Next to it is a carousel for the Oktoberfest and a beer table for the festival tent culture. The Schäffler also occupy a prominent position. Folk musicians and a dancing couple in traditional costume can also be admired, as can a market woman and staff from the brewery beer garden next to the market. And above all are Saint Florian and Saint Boniface, the patron saints of brewers.

Maypoles are usually large, tall, decorated trees with branches removed almost to the top, which are erected in a central location in town during a festive event. Depending on the region - and even the location - the design of the maypoles can look very different. In rural areas, they are erected using muscle power and ropes and support beams, while in large parts of Bavaria they are usually done by members of the local youth club. In most towns, this is now prohibited; machines (mobile cranes or wood harvesters) are used there due to the increased risk of accidents. Traditionally, the maypole is placed in a prepared, fortified pit in which it slides over an inclined plane when erected and in which it can then be safely wedged. In many places, however, reusable supports made of steel and concrete are used for the lower end of the tree for reasons of effort and safety.
