Corona-Aus at Marienplatz: traditional restaurant in the heart of the city has to close - Oktoberfest tent also affected

A few years ago the Donisl on Marienplatz in Munich was extensively renovated.

Now there is a corona drama - and the traditional restaurant has to close.

The backgrounds.

• A

  traditional

  restaurant

  in the heart of the city has to close its doors: The

  Donisl

  is on

  its knees

  before

  Corona

  .

• Apparently, the business was undone by the fact that it was too

  dependent on tourists

  .

• The operators talk about the

  Donisl-Aus

  .

  A remarkable solution is looming for the succession.

Munich - bang in the Munich gastro scene: The

has announced that host Karlheinz Reindl

will give up

the traditional

.

The reason: the lack of guests due to the corona pandemic *.

The speculations about the successor are particularly interesting, as the future host will probably also

take over the

at the Oktoberfest,

which has also become vacant

.

“We regret that the cooperation will end on

after five years.

Due to the longstanding relationship (...) with the Rubenbauer and Reindl families, we granted the request to terminate the lease early, ”says Andreas Steinfatt, managing director of the Hacker-Pschorr brewery.

Munich / Donisl at Marienplatz: Dependency on tourists was revealed in the Corona crisis

Karlheinz Reindl, who is also the managing director of the Rubenbauer group of companies, regrets the end: "The Donisl was and is a project close to our hearts, but the absence of tourists and trade fair guests forces us to make this decision." In 2015, the Reindl family took over from the legendary Wildmosers .

It has long been rumored in the scene that since the

at that time,

locals have only rarely come.

Corona Munich: Talks about Donisl's successor are "doubly explosive"

At

, Karlheinz Reindl said on Thursday that he had been talking to the brewery for several weeks, but the decision to

had only recently been made.

"We have agreed to close operations - that's why we have to lay off all employees at the end of the year."

According to the brewery, "it will take a few more weeks" before a successor can be presented - talks are already being held.

These are apparently doubly explosive.

Because brewery boss Andreas Steinfatt says in the official announcement: “It is clear to us that it is a challenge

to find

the right host or hosts for two large properties such as the

and the

.

But who knows, maybe there will be a combination here. "

In other words: it may well be that

awarded together.

But if the brewery officially speaks of possible multiple hosts - then maybe there is something to the fact that Florian Lechner (one of the Nockherberg hosts) will take over the Bräurosl brewery tent together with Florian and Bettina Oberndorfer (Wirtshaus in der Au, Knödelei on the Wiesn) ?

And the

same time?

The work would be better distributed on many shoulders.

And the necessary money would also come together more easily.

Corona Munich: Will the new Bräurosl host take over the traditional restaurant?

Even if

continues to insist that there is still no

, more and more insiders are talking about the fact that the Lechner / Oberndorfer duo can actually move up to the top league of Oktoberfest hosts - and get the Donisl.

Florian Oberndorfer, however, said

on the phone: “I didn't talk to the brewery about the Donisl.” This is the first time he's heard this topic.

Is it all just tactics?

After all, Wolfgang Püschel (SPD), Vice of the District Committee

reports

: "I have heard from several sides that the landlords Lechner and Oberndorfer should take over the Donisl." Which, conversely

, would make

their

likely.

A successful Oktoberfest tent and a flagging traditional restaurant as a double pack on offer?

Püschel says: "If that turns out to be true, it would be interesting to see how the awarding modalities change ..."
