The corona pandemic hit restaurateurs especially hard.

Now that winter is just around the corner, many of them fear for their very existence.

  • The city of Munich * tries to help innkeepers through the cold season.

  • The restaurateurs should also do business in winter with patio heaters and sideboards.

  • The city council has now approved an extension of the bar areas.

Update September 29, 18:56:

The extension of the

sidewalk cafés

to

end in March 2021

and the simultaneous approval of

patio heaters

are a done deal.

The

city ​​council

approved both points on Tuesday (September 29) with broad unanimity.

Only the

FDP

and

ÖDP

voted against.

The town hall government of the

Greens

and the

SPD

even indicated a permanent perspective for additional

free bar areas

during the

summer months

.

Gudrun Lux (Greens) said: “People love it.”

Pub gardens

enriched the

flair of the city

and at the same time are a

source of income

for

hosts

who

groaned

under the consequences of the

corona pandemic

.

Andreas Schuster (SPD) described the

pub gardens

as a model of

success

.

His group is also open to a permanent solution.

There was praise for the

district administration department

(KVR) across all

political groups

.

The authority processed the applications from the

catering industry

quickly.

As reported, 8,700 new outdoor spaces were

created

for

restaurants

this summer

.

An extension was approved for 900 restaurants.

1037 parking spaces had to give way.

A major reason why the

FDP

rejected the extension beyond the summer.

The

heater was

a thorn in the side of the

ÖDP

for climate protection reasons

.

This is how the Munich restaurateurs want to get through the Corona winter

(First report)

Munich

- The Bavarian capital remains the northernmost

city ​​in Italy

- even in the cold season.

Because: The city will

extend

the approval for the so-called

pub gardens

until the end of March 2021 (originally the regulation was only intended until the end of September).

Restaurant terrace

instead of

parking lot

: Many guests have felt the pure dolce vita here in recent months.

That it stays that way:

Electric radiant heaters

, which are exceptionally permitted this autumn and winter,

should

ensure that.

As a kind of frost protection for the

pub gardens

.

There is

broad consensus on

this in the

city ​​council

.

Both points should be decided today in the package.

Numerous restaurateurs took advantage of the offer to build a terrace on the parking lot

Hardly any

other industry has been hit

by the

Corona *

restrictions

as much as

gastronomy

.

The

city

has

therefore given

the

innkeepers

an additional source of income: the so-called

pub gardens

were allowed to be

built

on parking

spaces

.

The

catering industry

has made good use of this special regulation - and the guests have accepted the offer well.

According to statistics from the

Kreisverwaltungsreferat

(KVR), a total of 1188 applications for an expansion of the

bar areas were

submitted - the

city

approved almost 900 of them.

According to

KVR

, around 8,700 new seats for

restaurants

could be created

in three months

.

So far, 1037 parking spaces in the

city ​​area had to

give way.

That annoys some citizens: According to

KVR

, 102 complaints were received from

residents

and

businesses

.

The

KVR,

however, draws a positive conclusion: “Many companies have designed the new

open bar areas in an

appealing way and with some effort.

These not only enhance the appearance of the streets, but also represent a gain for urban life. ”It should stay that way for another six months.

In order to make them suitable for

winter

,

hosts can

also request that their places be covered outdoors.

Since the beginning of July you can

also sit outside

in the

Lotus Lounge

on

Hans-Sachs-Straße

- in a nicely designed area next to the sidewalk.

His

free dispensing area

has a restaurant operator

Ralf Plitt

edged with dark brown pallets and flower pots.

Large

umbrellas

shine in between

.

The concept works.

Especially when the sun is shining.

“When it rains,” says

Plitt

, “of course people prefer to go

inside

.” But maybe, he adds, “the planned

patio heaters

are a good compromise”.

A warm invitation, a welcome, “now and next year too”.

In

Haidhausen

is teeming with small charming cafes.

Including the

Farmer & Lou

on

Breisacher Strasse

.

There has

Noel Latham

created an additional area for its guests.

Where cars and motorcycles were parked a few weeks ago, there are now a few nicely decorated tables.

“It's a dream,” enthuses

Latham

, “simply beautiful”.

He is delighted, he adds, that the

free

bar areas are to be extended.

After all, a

pub garden is

not only an eye-catcher, but also a treat for the soul.

"A ray of hope in this dark (seasonal) time."

Luciano Marchesano

has transformed the outdoor area of ​​his restaurant - the small

parking lot

terrace in

front of

Il Padrino

on

Kirchenstrasse

- into a blooming oasis over the past few weeks: with oleanders, various ornamental plants and lots of passion.

The

Munich

resident

has thus

fulfilled a huge dream.

Because: “Such a garden in the middle of the big city,” enthuses

Marchesano

, “that makes a lot of difference.” Nothing about that should change anytime soon.

“A bit of summer is always possible,” the

restaurateur is

certain.

Also in winter, "then hopefully with a

patio heater

..."
