Despite Corona: The Christmas market on Marienplatz in Munich should take place - and will also be extended.
Munich -
Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD)
had
already made
hints
about the
Christmas markets
in times of the
pandemic
in
an interview
with our newspaper
.
“Of course it won't be like last year.
It is conceivable that there will be fewer stalls so that the paths are wider.
Or that the markets will be expanded spatially.
The market at Sendlinger Tor could be extended to Herzog-Wilhelm-Straße, that at Marienplatz to Stachus.
Everything is conceivable in order to guarantee distances and not risk crowds of people. ”The
administration
was commissioned
to create
a
concept
.
Munich: Christmas market on Marienplatz is to be extended despite Corona
That is now complete.
The
economic department
will propose to the city council on Tuesday (October 13th) that the municipal
Christmas market be held
on
Marienplatz
from November 23rd to January 10th.
The
operators of
the other markets in the city should also be given the opportunity.
The
feeders
can decide for themselves whether they take
advantage of
the offer.
The area of the market on Marienplatz is also to be expanded - via
Neuhauser Strasse
to
Karlstor
and into
Sendlinger Strasse
.
Christkindlmarkt on Marienplatz despite Corona: This is what the concept looks like
In order to give the market people a hand, the administration proposes
to reduce
the
demurrage
by 50 percent.
The
city
is also to take on a
share
of the
financing
of around 129,000 euros and
apportionment costs
of 435,000 euros.
However, these plans assume that the
infection process
allows the markets to take place.
The bill, which the economic committee will deal with on Tuesday, states that the markets can also be canceled at short notice.

Appropriate
hygiene concepts are
required for implementation
.
Among other things, it is planned to maintain a
distance
of at least five to ten meters
between the stands and on the paths
.
To ensure this, which must
number
the six-meter-wide
booths
are reduced at Marienplatz, instead, should there more four meters wide
Standl
give.
Corona crisis Munich: There is also a plan for Winter Tollwood
It is also being considered, the
security service
increase.
It should ensure that distances are maintained and that
mouth and nose protection is
worn.
The
administration does not consider it possible to cap the
number of visitors
.
All businesses that sell food or beverages should have separate
catering areas
with
bar tables
.
The operators regulate access.
Similar regulations should also
apply to
the
winter tollwood
on
Theresienwiese
from November 25th to December 23rd.
The
Tollwood area
is also to be enlarged; here too, the
space rent
could be
reduced by half.
The concept envisages
doing
without
tents
, dividing the
area
into three
themed areas
,
reducing
the number of market and catering stands, limiting the number of visitors and
doing
without the
New Year's party
.
Economic advisor Clemens Baumgärtner
(CSU) said on request: “Economic success for the feeders, a safe implementation and a tasteful sight with culinary delights for the visitors are guaranteed by precise planning.
I'm looking forward to the Christmas market. "
