The weekly and farmers' markets in Bad Tölz have a different location in Advent.

Now there is criticism that it is too tight there from a corona point of view.

Bad Tölz

- In order to create space for the Christmas huts in Marktstrasse, the weekly and farmers' market has moved to Jungmayrplatz.

Peter P. Müller, a business graduate from Tölz, criticized the crowd there in an email to the Tölzer Kurier.

His conclusion: "Unfortunately, I cannot see any forward-looking, health-conscious behavior by the authorities responsible for market implementation."

When he went shopping, he saw around 30 people on Jungmayrplatz, "waiting close together at the stands that were set up a little apart".

There is no reference to the mask requirement on the whole square.

Müller: "I wonder why the weekly market is held on Jungmayrplatz at these times when the entire market street, with the exception of two huts, is completely free because the Christmas market is not taking place this year."

A security service patrols the weekly market on Jungmayrplatz

Birte Otterbach, press spokeswoman for the city of Bad Tölz, is surprised by the criticism: "We have not yet received any complaints."

In addition, a security service patrols.

The employees would point out the mask requirement and ensure that the distances are observed.

There has been consistently positive feedback on the performance of the security service: “You have friendly conversations.

If the distance rules have been violated, then at most only for a very short time. "

Otterbach could not answer spontaneously why the markets are taking place at Jungmayrplatz this year: “It must be related to the rescue and escape routes.

In addition, a hut will also be set up in the lower Markstrasse. "
