Munich - The

corona situation

does not want to relax.

After what was actually a very relaxed summer - in line with the pandemic - the second wave hit harder than many people probably thought.

In Munich * the numbers have left the exponential growth *, but strictly do not want to go down significantly.

The only hope many people have for normalcy: The

vaccines

.

But how normal can our life be?

And especially when?

A question that not only private individuals ask.

Culture

and

gastronomy in

particular

despair of it.

So do the

Oktoberfest hosts

.

It will be an

Oktoberfest

give in 2021?

Chancellor

Angela Merkel

(66, CDU) warned on Wednesday (December 2nd): "We have to get through the winter without being able to rely on the fact that we

already

have a

large number of vaccines

." .

The question that arises for the upcoming

Oktoberfest

is: Will the

vaccine

arrive

early enough

to celebrate the big festival in autumn next year?

Last year,

Munich's Lord Mayor Dieter Reiter

(SPD) had to announce the decision against the Oktoberfest in April.

"That may be in April, but perhaps in May or June," said Dieter Reiter against

bild.de

.

Wies host Edi Reinbold (76) by

protecting the marquee

to the available

sheet

against still optimistic: "I'm preparing for the Oktoberfest, but do not think that it can 2021 take place as it once was." Günter Steinberg (80) from the

Hofbräu tent

is Compared to

bild.de a

little more realistic: "I hope that the Oktoberfest will take place in 2021, but I

see a bit of black

."

Corona: Oktoberfest hosts desperate - "I see a bit black"

Stephanie Spendler (53) from the

Löwenbräuzelt

cannot even forget about the Oktoberfest at night.

“The question of whether the vaccination is too late and whether the vaccine is working is one that I ask myself.

I sometimes even work up the topic in dreams.

One thing is clear: the Oktoberfest can only take place if

Corona is

history.

We hope and fear, ”Spendler told the newspaper.

Only corona-vaccinated people for Oktoberfest?

Munich's mayor rider gives a clear rejection

So the question is whether there will be enough vaccinations by autumn to restore a safe situation.

But can it be that only

vaccinated people

are allowed to go

to the Oktoberfest this year

?

In response to a request from bild.de, OB Reiter gave the concept a (preliminary) rejection: "I can

hardly imagine it

personally

," said the OB.

Economy Minister Hubert Aiwanger (49, Free Voters) also rejects this to the paper: “It cannot be that whoever is vaccinated gets the green card.

That would be

compulsory vaccination through the back door

. ”*
