  • An overview of masks in pharmacies, drugstores and supermarkets and online trading.

Bad Tolz-Wolfratshausen -From Monday prevails in shops and public transport mask duty . Therefore, the demand for mouth and nose protection in the corona crisis is great. We looked around the local shops and found that there are masks in all colors and designs - but it is not always easy to get them.

Corona virus: mask requirement in Bavaria - hoarding online retailers protective masks for online sales?

For example in pharmacies . "I am sure that some have nothing at all," says Christoph Hummel, pharmacy spokesman in the district and owner of two pharmacies in Gaißach and Bad Heilbrunn. "I think that's a scandal. The stores are full, there are endless masks, but they are hoarded by online retailers who are now selling them at horrific prices. ”

Buy protective masks in pharmacies: There are sometimes bottlenecks in deliveries

Hummel's assessment is partially confirmed by Elvine Engelhardt. "We always have a delivery, but there are already bottlenecks," confirms the head of the Paracelsus pharmacy in Geretsried, the Isar pharmacy in Wolfratshausen and the Ostufer pharmacy in Münsing. 

The offer includes simple surgical face masks , reusable FFP2 models and fabric masks ; the prices vary between 1.20 and ten euros because the purchase prices fluctuate strongly. "And," emphasizes Engelhardt, "we only sell masks to a limited extent - two per person."

Mask requirement in Bavaria: FFP2 masks and surgical masks in drugstores

The Müller drugstore has a wide range in stock. The range extends from surgical masks in a pack of ten (14.99 euros, 50 pieces cost 69.99 euros) to the higher quality FFP2 masks , in a cardboard box for 49.90 euros. "The warehouse is full, it doesn't look like a bottleneck at the moment," reports the Wolfratshauser market manager Michael Herbig.

Other shops have to (still) fit, for example Rossmann . The press department told Germany's second largest drugstore chain that it was “in close contact with the suppliers” . "The very dynamic development of the situation demands a great deal of flexibility from us as retailers, so the status quo can change at any time."

Buy protective masks in supermarkets: Rewe must (still) fit

On request, the press office of the Rewe food markets explains: “First of all, we equip our employees with mouth-nose protection and / or face shields . Whether and how we can offer our customers appropriate products is currently still under investigation. " 

Rewe customers in Wolfratshausen still find what they are looking for: Carolin Schuster offers in her lottery shop linen mouthguard from the Thanningen-based company Stikkma, in a colorful design or with King Ludwig embroidery, the piece for twelve euros. Handcrafted cotton masks (eight euros) will be added soon . Such masks are currently in vogue, apparently the fashionable aspect of health protection is not unimportant to many people .

Mask requirement in Bavaria: mouthguard with King Ludwig embroidery - and other individual designs

For example, the Heiduk interior decorator in Wolfratshausen offers colorful masks according to individual wishes - and pre-orders (phone 0 81 71/1 85 10). "The request is huge," says boss Alina Heiduk. Her colorful masks are made of cotton, double-stitched and cost ten euros, one of which will be donated to the Red Cross. 

Even the laundry on the Untermarkt in Wolfratshausen can hardly cope with the demand. The mask range from Ulviye Güre, a friend of laundry manager Tugba Karaman, offers around 40 different colors and designs. 

"Black is a hit, and the Bavarian diamond is doing well too," reveals owner Sinan Karaman. If you cannot find a suitable one in the laundry in the currently limited selection of double-layer masks made of 100 percent cotton (from six euros), you can order your desired mask, delivery time: about three to five days.

Laundry can hardly cope with mask inquiries - even facial visors on offer

Mike Hüsken expects a delivery of 3000 masks from the textile finishing company of the same name on Pfaffenrieder Strasse in Wolfratshausen. "But a large part of it has already been pre-ordered," says the entrepreneur. You can choose between "normal" two-layer cotton masks (seven euros) and a higher-quality model "with tested filter performance of 65 percent", which should be available from nine euros. Also on offer: facial visors, the piece for eleven euros.

With her project “WOR sews” Ines Lobenstein has also hit the nerve of the time: A group around the Wolfratshauser is busy sewing breathing masks while working at home
