The situation is coming to a head with the ongoing theme of the Garmisch-Partenkirchen Congress Center.

Due to structural and hygienic deficiencies, the district office now pulled the rip cord: Parts of the gastronomy, including the kitchen, the warehouse and the counter, may no longer be operated for the time being.

It is unclear how the event guests will be supplied in the future.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen

- The market town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen as the owner of the congress house is coming under great pressure to act.

The fact that the complex on Richard-Strauss-Platz is no longer up-to-date and has a number of weaknesses is nothing new.

A lot of money has already been invested, for example in fire protection, to keep the whole thing going.

But now an essential area is on the brink: gastronomic management.

At least no one can say with one hundred percent certainty whether and how this should work in the future.

Not a good starting position to stimulate business with congresses and other events again after the compulsory Corona break.

Structural and hygienic defects

The district office, or to be more precise, the food control department located there, put a spanner in the works. During a routine check, as spokesman Stephan Scharf explained to the Tagblatt, significant structural defects were found, which in turn led to a hygiene problem: pest infestation - a nuisance that already called an exterminator on the scene. According to reports, it is said to have been mice that got into the catering rooms through the shafts, cavities and openings in the old building.

The district authority then imposed a so-called "partial operating restriction".

That means: Certain areas may no longer be used until further notice.

The large kitchen, including the storage rooms in the basement, was closed in August.

On October 3rd, after a temporary toleration, the business area at the restaurant with the counter, the food counter and the sink on the mezzanine floor will follow.

For the district office, the matter is clear: the rejected parts of the building must be renovated.

“That is no longer up to date,” says Scharf.

Tenant family has to pay for misery

The tenant family Adlwarth, who have been taking care of the congress center for many years, has to pay for the misery. The structural deficits have been known for a long time, but the market town has not done anything, says Gaby Adlwarth, who is part of the management, annoyed. She speaks of a “dilemma” that is causing economic damage. You can improvise to a certain extent, for example using the kitchen of the pavilion restaurant, which also belongs to the Adlwärtsh company, or setting up a container kitchen. But normal operation would not be possible without the aforementioned economic sector. For Adlwärtsh it is therefore clear: “We need an interim solution.” In her opinion, the municipality should at least rehabilitate to the extent that the minimum requirements are met.After all, the congress center will be booked again - for weddings or conferences, for example.

Meanwhile, the town hall is busy dealing with the problem.

As the press office explains, they are currently exploring short-term, provisional solutions.

Second Mayor Claudia Zolk (CSB): “This is of course a very difficult situation for everyone involved.

But we have the utmost understanding for the plight of our long-term and absolutely reliable partner, the Adlwärtsh family. ”You definitely don't let them down.

In the long term, the administration also said in a statement, whether it is of course the market's claim to "find an overall solution for the congress center that also includes a solution for the kitchen".
