The Isartaler private landlords are plagued by pure existential fear.
If they can't unlock their holiday flats and boarding houses again soon, the lights will go out for good.

- To put it in the words of Chancellor Angela Merkel: “The virus has arrived.
It's there. ”And with it not only the health problems, but also the financial problems.
Closed accommodation houses and missing guests are increasingly affecting private landlords in the Isar Valley.
In contrast to commercial operations and other sectors, they do not receive any help - until further notice they are banned from working. "It cannot go on like this, they have completely forgotten us," says Rosi Pfeffer, who has been running Landhaus Bärnbichl since 2004 and has been at the top for many years of the Krün Tourist Association.
Pfeffer and many of her industry colleagues feel more and more alone and abandoned the longer the lockdown lasts.
“I therefore appeal to the politicians to stand up for us.” But in view of the lack of a lobby, the gentle calls have so far faded away.
“We just don't have a lobby group - we don't have that,” says Pfeffer.
Which also leads to the fact that one pokes in the fog with regard to the existential fears of private landlords.
Not least because of this, on the initiative of the tourist associations of the holiday destination Alpenwelt Karwendel, a survey was started on the location of the small-scale hosts.
As outlined at the beginning, it is no longer rosy.
Many young people who are currently building decide not to accommodate tourists and tend to rent them permanently, including second homes, which are becoming more and more interesting for city dwellers in the course of expanding home work.
Pfeffer expresses this development as follows: “Our whole structure changes, our entire village life.” And ultimately nobody in Krün, Wallgau or Mittenwald wants that.
Our whole structure changes, our entire village life. "

The situation is particularly fatal for young families who have built buildings and have to cope with high burdens despite low interest rates.
While other industries or authorities can work normally or are cushioned by short-time work benefits, it looks more than modest with private landlords.
They also make special sacrifices and of course ask themselves: Why is there help for car manufacturers or Lufthansa?
Your division, however, falls through the cracks.
Solidarity looks different for Rosi Pfeffer.
"We have to get through the crisis together." Because one thing is obvious for Krunner: "When things are bad for us, the trades, restaurants and retail trade are also bad."
Not very positive signals from the Ministry of Economic Affairs
It is precisely these industries that plague liquidity concerns.
Those who do not have sufficient reserves and assets can largely help the respective house banks with an extended credit line and deferrals.
Andreas Paschek from Sparkasse and Franz-Paul Reindl from Raiffeisenbank Krün confirm this in unison.
The signals sent by the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs are less positive.
"The corona bridging aids announced by the federal government, from which the federal states do not deviate, are only given to landlords who are full-time or with a trade license." For this, it is necessary that the income from renting and leasing the foreign beds accounts for at least 51 percent of the total income.
“Depending on the case control, they can be classified as business income.
They are subject to trade tax, which does not apply to income from renting and leasing, ”replies Silvia Schießl from the Corona bridging aid project group when asked by Alois Mayr von den Buckelwiesen.
That is incomprehensible.

“That is incomprehensible,” complains host Mayr.
Rudi Haller (CSU), Deputy Mayor and Head of the Tourism Association, and his predecessor Pfeffer agree with him, of course.
With a current multi-page host survey, they want to draw the political decision-makers' attention to the misery that has now been going on for over half a year.
Revenue in the five-digit range lost
That is also the aim of the management of the Alpenwelt Karwendel.
The ball rests with the hosts.
They should describe how they are doing in the crisis.
Many of them have invested large sums of money in the past few years and lost sales in the five-digit range due to curfews and the elimination of the entire winter season.
The following example occurs to the frustrated Mayr: “How about if Markus Söder and the members of the state parliament got their salaries canceled from November.
But for that you can apply for a grant of 95 percent of your fixed costs? ”There is a lot to discuss.
Although the time is already ripe for action, quite a few think that on the part of private landlords.
