    Munich

    this year will be

    all about Corona.

Munich - The staade time, this year it will come with hygiene guidelines, that's for sure.

The organizers of Christmas markets are currently planning the details - albeit with reservations.

Because: You are only allowed to set up your stand if the infection situation allows it.

On Tuesday they could have a little more

planning

security: Then the city council will negotiate the

Christmas markets

.

Among other things, it is planned to extend the events from November 23rd to January 10th.

So seven weeks of the Christmas market

(instead of usually around four): This way, the dealers could do at least a little more business in the Corona year.

Winter magic in Munich: enlarge space, extend market?

The major parties in the city council and

Mayor Dieter Reiter

(SPD) are positive about the push by the economic department to extend the market and enlarge the area.

He has great sympathy for the fact that the Christmas markets "take place after a very stressful year" - provided that the

infection process

allows it.

The

Greens also

think the idea is good.

However, there have been discussions as to whether the

distance

rules “after the third mulled wine” could also be adhered to, said City Councilor Beppo Brem.

And: Food and drink stands should not be set up directly in front of restaurants.

That is also important to the CSU.

Coronavirus / Munich: Only a third of the stands at Tollwood planned

The Tollwood has long been working on the concept - the organizers are assuming that only a third of the stands will be set up on the Theresienwiese compared to other stands.

In addition, the following applies:

no tents

- and

mask compulsory

on the entire site!

The medieval market on Wittelsbacherplatz, the fairy tale bazaar or the Christmas market on Weißenburger Platz are also in the planning.

It is a

“tricky situation”

, as the organizer of Pink Christmas in the Glockenbachviertel, Robert Maier-Kares, explains: “No insurance company wants to cover us.

I also pay a five-digit amount for security, fences and other corona regulations.

At the same time, I can only

let

20 percent of the guests

onto the pitch. "

The organizer demands that the city

waive

the

stand fees

.

So far there has been a halving in the room.

“So far we have only made verbal agreements,” says Diego Ertl, the organizer of the medieval Christmas market on Wittelsbacherplatz.

It is true that on his website he indicated November 23rd as the opening day.

“Nobody can say whether we will really start then.

But we hope so. ”Meanwhile, the first market had already been canceled:

There will be no Christkindl stands at the Chinese Tower this winter.
