“Nürnbärland”: Showmen draw positive balance despite less income

The chairman of the South German Showmen Association, Lorenz Kalb, draws a positive balance from the "Nürnbärland".

Families in particular have been drawn to it. 

Nuremberg - The "Nürnbärland" was a small ray of hope for many showmen despite financial losses.

It was mainly families that were attracted, said the chairman of the South German Showmen Association, Lorenz Kalb, to the BR.

The event in Nuremberg * was in order as a replacement format, but could not replace the traditional autumn folk festival, as the showmen would have taken much less. 

Nuremberg: Bavaria has not yet allowed any folk festivals 

Annual markets are now allowed again in other federal states, but are still prohibited in Bavaria.

According to Kalb, the rationale for the ban is not reasonable.

According to this, folk festivals would only be associated with the consumption of alcoholic beverages.

But a feast for the whole family outside should be allowed in his eyes.

He thinks it is important that Christmas markets and Christmas markets can take place normally again this year, as they serve as a great source of income for the showmen.

If this is not the case, it could mean the end of many rides and thus also of the traditional folk festival culture.
