The first organizer of the WirtshausWiesn has reacted to the stricter corona rules in Munich.
There is great concern in one communication.
Other hosts also react involuntarily.
Due to the corona pandemic, the WirtshausWiesn in Munich * was heavily debated from the start.
The tightening of the rules * announced by OB Reiter now confronts restaurateurs with complicated tasks.
The first cancellation has now been announced.
The ballroom on the Nockherberg is affected.
The innkeepers feel bullied by politics and vent their anger.
Update from September 22, 6:20 p.m.:
The
WirtshausWiesn
is
therefore being reduced
due to the increasing restrictions in the city.
A
severe blow
for
Peter Inselkammer
.
"After months of stagnation, you want to finally make a difference,
give people a piece of joy in life,
" says the Oktoberfest host and landlord spokesman, "and then you get whistled back all the time!" With all the stress you ask yourself at some point, he said Host goes on, "what you do the whole thing for".
Now the program in the large ballroom is no longer available.
Festive host Christian Schottenhamel explains: “We made a conscious decision
to move
the entire event to the front of
the pub
.” This means that the city's hygiene requirements can continue to be complied with.
The protection of the guests has top priority - even if the retrofits are associated with enormous additional costs and effort.
“We actually wanted to
start
with
900 seats in the large ballroom
,” says Nockherberg co-boss Florian Lechner.
"Then we voluntarily reduced it to 480." There is now
a maximum of 250 guests
in the
inn
: "Organizational, emotional and of course economic madness that affects the entire industry." in the tavern.

There is also criticism from other restaurateurs of the rapid political decisions.
For example,
Silja Kasten-Steinberg from Hofbräukeller
says: “I feel like a plaything.
Today huh, tomorrow hott.
We plowed, planned and fought for months.
And what for ?! ”For three days - a ridiculous three days - stresses the landlady, the restaurateurs now have time
to rethink
their
entire concept
.
"I was just at the Bauhaus," reports the landlady -
to buy
partitions and clear film
.
"If our guests hadn't looked so damn happy on the weekend - I'd like to throw everything away!"
A thought that also
haunted
Gregor Lemke
, spokesman for the Munich city center inns and
owner of the Augustiner Klosterwirt
.
"The
cancellations are
just pouring down on us." Nevertheless, the landlord does not want to give up and continue fighting for his WirtshausWiesn.
With partition walls, enlarged spaces, "
if necessary
with
curfew
".
So far everything has worked out wonderfully.
To see a bit of joie de vivre in the faces again, says Lemke, "it's worth the stress."
