“We stand up to the second lockdown”: Hans Wilhelm Knape, Gautingen's community welfare entrepreneur, who runs the “Treffpunkt” in Stockdorf, which was only opened in mid-September, with his team of four, is now offering delivery service by cargo bike.
The “meeting point” as a restaurant has to close due to the partial lockdown.

- The extensive service for self-collectors is brand new, explained Knape at the beginning of the restrictions, which according to the current status will apply throughout November.
“The project of the citizens' meeting point was badly shaken by the delay in the opening and the still unforeseeable completion of the kitchen,” he regretted.
A few days ago there was still foil hanging in front of the kitchen.
The background is also that there were deficiencies that had to be eliminated.
According to Christiane Ait, head of the building construction department in Gautingen, the repaired floor screed in the future kitchen area has now dried so far.
The tilers could probably move in the next few days.
The currently stored kitchen will be installed from mid-November, says the founder of the non-profit company “Grain” (the grain).
Thanks to sponsors and voluntary supporters, the “crowdfunding” target of 10,000 euros had been achieved, Knape continued.
Due to the corona pandemic, however, there are always setbacks.
“So I'm glad that the Gautinger Eco & Fair Environment Center is supporting us.” The two “Treffpunkt” chefs Florian Reistle and Stefan Haderer are currently preparing their organic dishes in Christiane Lüst's kitchen and transporting them from there to Stockdorf.
After it became clear that there would be a second lockdown for restaurants in Bavaria, "the meeting point team spontaneously decided on Friday not to give the depression a chance," emphasized Knape.
Because the cozy dining room with the beautiful wooden tables from the former “Abacus” cinema has to be closed despite three exits and despite the exhaust air system built by the community foresight, “we will expand the pick-up and delivery service.
We don't want to be forgotten again in this lockdown month after the successful opening. ”Thanks to the e-cargo bike made available by the environmental center, the warm dishes are even delivered ecologically, says chef Florian Reistle.
The cook reveals the dumplings prepared by the Syrian Madina, filled with spinach, pomegranate and oriental flavored with sumac, which are popular with customers at “Treffpunkt”.
On Friday, for example, there was polenta with aromatic pear slices and Gorgonzola to take away, aesthetically and ecologically packaged in a cardboard box.
