Celebrities celebrate 20 years of Ingolstadt Village with an exclusive BBQ!

A special celebration for Ingolstadt: On May 24, 2025, the Ingolstadt Village was honored with great pomp and numerous prominent guests as the designer shopping destination celebrated its 20th anniversary. From its opening two decades ago with 37 boutiques covering 10,000 square meters, the Village has expanded to over 110 shops covering 16,000 square meters. To mark this anniversary, Managing Director Sanjiv Singh highlighted how the Village has developed over the years. The series of events is intended not only to honor the history of the place, but also to serve as a prelude to an anniversary summer with further events. Visitors can look forward to numerous surprises. [Jetset-media] reports that the celebrations kicked off with a stylish birthday cake created by four talented cake artists.

The prominent well-wishers included actor Dana Schweiger, TV presenter Alexander Mazza and nobility expert Charlotte Countess von Oeynhausen. Together with other guests such as Astrid Söll and Mayor Dr. With Michael Kern, they shared memories and stories from their respective shopping experiences in the Village. The event was not only a feast for the senses, but also for the eyes: an impressive balloon installation in green and white and illustrations by Jasmin Khezri made the atmosphere particularly festive. [Augsburger- Allgemeine] describes that live music was also performed for entertainment, while Kerstin Schreyer emphasized the importance of self-selected shopping moments.

Exclusive motorcycle tour for the anniversary

However, the celebrations didn’t end with the birthday cake cutting. On August 11, 2025, the “BMW Motorrad x Stefan Marquard – Surf & Turf BBQ” event took place as part of the anniversary. Celebrities like Florian Odendahl, Alexander Freiherr von Cramm and Charlotte Countess von Oeynhausen swapped limousines for BMW motorcycles and drove to Ingolstadt Village. [Exklusiv-muenchen] reveals that this exclusive tour has a very special character, as the regular opening hours have been suspended for this occasion.

On the terrace of the VIP lounge “The Apartment”, star chef Stefan Marquard treated guests to an opulent 7-course barbecue. Most notably, he arrived on an elaborately painted motorcycle with vegetable illustrations, which combined diner and vehicle in a surprising way. The new BMW R12 with special foiling was also presented on this day. Sanjiv Singh emphasized that the successful combination of gastronomy and motorcycles forms a perfect partnership that enables both enjoyment and adventure.

Overall, the events surrounding the 20th anniversary of Ingolstadt Village show not only the success of the place, but also the strong interest and enthusiasm that both celebrities and visitors have for this special shopping location. The Village has become a popular destination for shoppers over two decades and remains popular with luxury brand lovers.
