Born in Pähler and FC Bayern Munich star Thomas Müller has donated food to all heroes of everyday corona around his home town of Essen. The action was well received.
- The Coronavirus * has a firm grip on the whole of Bavaria.
- The drastic measures * affect every one of us. There is now a wave of solidarity.
- FC Bayern star Thomas Müller has set a good example in his home town of Pähl.
Pähl - The smell of roast pork is in the air in the entrance area of the "Alte Post" in Pähl. The employees of the tavern rush around hectically to prepare all orders for the drivers.
Corona virus: Thomas Müller's father Gerhard Müller is also involved in the campaign
Food is also prepared in the "Neue Post" in Pähl . There are schnitzel with potato salad or cheese spaetzle. The reason for this is the thank you from FC Bayern Munich professional Thomas Müller. He gives the heroes of everyday corona a warm meal within a 15-kilometer radius of his home town of Pähl.
The telephone in the "Alte Post" does not stand still, organizations and institutions keep calling to accept the offer with thanks. Under the guidance of the landlord Alexander Sattlegger, the hard-working helpers distribute the roast pork, dumplings and red cabbage in styrofoam packaging so that it stays warm for delivery. Some of the drivers - including Gerhard Müller , the father of the soccer world champion - are waiting in the dining room so that the large boxes can be filled and handed over to one of the 13 drivers.
Corona solidarity: Change of plan in thank-you campaign: Pickup became delivery service
“Ten times meat, once veggie”, an order is called across the room towards the kitchen . It takes less than two minutes for the eleven meals to be stowed in the large transport box and ready for delivery. The visibly stressed, but well-rehearsed team was put together spontaneously and the drivers were quickly organized, as the landlord told the “Alte Post”.

Because the campaign was only planned so that people would pick up the food on site. However, the authorities vetoed and the action was quickly changed to delivery service.
Corona crisis: Malteser in Weilheim are happy about Thomas Müller's food donation
Gerhard Müller drives two large loads to Weilheim. The THW and the Malteser have ordered food for their volunteers . A number of young people are already available at the Maltese in Weilheim. "Most of them are students of the Weilheim grammar school," explains 17-year-old Julie von Raußendorff. When the schools were closed, she and three other students considered how they could help with their homework during this difficult time. "Then we called a lot of organizations ."
"We didn't just want to sit around," says Benedikt Meyer. The 17-year-old was - like his school friend Julie - shopping for the elderly. The pupils are very happy about the food they have donated, but they do not help because of that: "We help out until there is no more need ," says Julie von Raußendorff.
Corona virus campaign: Over 1,000 meals had been ordered by early afternoon
Christian Romberg, who is part of the management of Thomas Müller, later said that orders had been received in the two Pahl taverns by early afternoon. “We are very satisfied and it worked really well with the 13 drivers,” he reports. "The people who received the meal were very happy," says Romberg. The rest of Thomas Müller's family also helped: mother Klaudia Müller at the issue in the “Neue Post”, brother Simon as driver.
