Munich Oktoberfest host Christian Schottenhamel is mad at his insurance.

She does not want to pay for the damage caused by the corona lockdown.

Now the agreement.

  • The Munich host Christian Schottenhamel suffered enormous damage during the lockdown.

  • The insurance should actually take care of the failures - but it is not.

  • A settlement has now been reached in the case.

Update from October 21:

He would have won in court - but in the legal dispute with

Allianz

,

Christian Schottenhamel

(57) withdrew his lawsuit.

"There is an out-of-court settlement," says Benjamin Kuttenkeuler, spokesman at the regional court.

Münchner Wirt happy about the agreement with the insurance company

Originally had

Schottenhammel

the

Alliance

sued for 1,134,000 euros, because the

insurance

its damage from

lockdown

at

Nockherberg

did not want to pay - "a huge breach of trust".

At

Allianz

, "unfortunately every possibility is being sought to slip away from responsibility," said

Schottenhamel

at the start of the process in September.

And announced that he wanted to win a

verdict

- also because he was "about the whole industry".

Now the U-turn.

"We are satisfied with the result and are pleased that we have

reached

an

agreement

," says the landlord to

tz

.

He shouldn't talk about the level of the agreement.

Reason: "I have signed a

confidentiality

agreement."

According to reports, the amount

Schottenhamel

receives

from

Allianz

is

likely to be

in the one

million

mark.

Because the damage that he had claimed in court is calculated in daily lump sums, on the basis of which the amount in dispute before the regional court is also measured.

With less than the required

1.1 million euros

, the will

host

hardly satisfied - especially since it also the revenue from

Starkbierfest

missing.

Munich hosts are successful with their lawsuits in court

The

court

had already indicated that

Schottenhamel's

demands were

"not opposed to anything".

Christian Vogler from the

Augustinerkeller

had

already won

his

lawsuit

.

Schottenhamel

also had the best chances, but now reached an agreement - probably to circumvent other instances.

Thomas Geppert from the Hotel and Restaurant Association: “You can understand every landlord who prefers to make a

settlement in

order to have the money directly.

This is all the more true as the situation in our

industry is

currently worsening again. "

First report from September 24, 2020

Munich

- It was a "huge breach of trust," says

Christian Schottenhamel

(57).

“Of course I'm very disappointed.” Because

the

Oktoberfest host had

counted

on

Allianz

: He had taken out

insurance there

in the event that he had

to close

his business on

Nockherberg

.

This case had now occurred in the Corona * crisis - but

Allianz

refuses to settle the damage.

That is why

Schottenhamel has

sued - and is demanding a total of

1.1 million euros

.

Munich restaurateur is suffering from the damage caused by the lockdown

As with other

Munich inns

, the

restaurants had

to remain closed from mid-March to mid-May.

“This

resulted in a

lot of

costs

, but the

strong beer festival was also

canceled here,” says

Schottenhamel

.

Around 70,000 guests were not allowed to

celebrate

at the

Nockherberg

during the festive

season.

“We had to destroy 36,000 liters of beer alone.” He does not want to be left with the damage. 

A short while ago it was said that Schottenhammels colleague from Nockherberg will take over the Oktoberfest tent "Bräurosl".

But

Allianz

does not feel it has an obligation.

The

insurance company

argues that Corona * was not part of the policy.

The

insurance cover

therefore only applies to diseases and pathogens that are

expressly mentioned

in the

contract

.

The problem:

Covid-19

is of course not yet listed there.

And: the insurance conditions are partly contradicting, so the court.

Munich Oktoberfest restaurateur angry: Insurance is in the process across the board

“I wanted to

secure

myself with

Allianz

.

Unfortunately, every possibility is now being sought there to shirk responsibility, ”says

Schottenhamel

.

Because

in the process that began last week,

the

insurance company

also denied that the Corona forced closings were legal - and that the

Nockherberg was

actually closed.

From the court's point of view, a diversionary maneuver: "Denying in the dark is not permitted," said judge Susanne Laufenberg.

Schottenhamel

adds: "I can prove that all around 100 employees, including the cooks, were on

short-time work

."

He has great hope "that the

judgment will be

positive for us".

He is also concerned with the entire industry: some innkeepers had to give up, others are still struggling with the consequences of the

lockdown

.

"We'll pull this through to the end," promises

Schottenhamel

.

The court has already indicated that there is

probably “nothing opposed to

the claim of the

host

”.

The verdict is due to fall on October 20th.
