Hardly any other industry has been harder hit by the crisis than the catering industry.
The second lockdown should mean the end for many companies.
The operators appeal accordingly emotionally in a fire letter to the Federal Chancellor and the Prime Ministers of the federal states.

Patrick Junge (43) sees it differently.
Hospitality was practically born in the cradle.
He is the great-grandson of the founder of the Junge bakery with around 175 branches in northern Germany.
