For a long time it was not clear whether there would be a Christmas market in Bad Tölz this year.
But now one thing is certain: It can begin as planned on November 26th.
It also looks good for the markets in Heilbrunn and Lenggries.
Bad Tölz - The deputy spa and tourism director Susanne Frey-Allgaier, who is responsible for the markets in Bad Tölz, is relieved: “After the state government's framework concept became known on Monday, it was to be assumed that a Christmas market would be possible. “You then discussed the implementation with the District Office, and the okay came on Wednesday.
"We have to adapt our hygiene concept, but this has been our daily business in the events department since the beginning of the pandemic," says Susanne Frey-Allgaier.
The distances between the huts must be increased
The most important change: The distances between the huts must be increased.
This requirement is not that easy to comply with, since the escape routes also have to be kept clear.
In addition, the position of the retractable sockets must be taken into account, as well as the uneven width and the different incline of the Markstraße: “We are really busy drawing and planning,” says the tourism director.
Sighing, she adds: “It would be nice if we could set up the huts as we imagine.
But this time that is even less possible than usual. "
Krampus run will probably fall victim to the Corona requirements
In their guidelines, the ministries also stipulate that large gatherings of people must be avoided.
The Krampus Run will probably fall victim to this requirement.
On the other hand, the concerts may take place at the Winzerer Memorial.
If the necessary distances cannot be kept, the audience will have to wear masks.
Despite all the restrictions, she is "very happy" about the decision that the market can take place: "This finally clarifies."
In Bad Heilbrunn it is still a matter of clarifying detailed questions
The Christmas market at Gasthaus Ramsau in Bad Heilbrunn is also safely held. It should take place on Saturday, December 11th, from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm and on Sunday, December 12th, from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm Are in order, ”says Sebastian Mertens, chairman of the organizing association“ Active Bad Heilbrunner ”. The editions are actually not too high. In his opinion, it is positive that there is no obligation to wear masks. Now it is only about detailed questions. It has not yet been clarified whether the barn adjoining the inn and the stone hut are considered indoor areas.
Three to six stalls should be set up in the barn and four to six in the stone hut.
If the two buildings were to be considered indoor, the mask requirement and the 3G rule would apply there.
Mertens suspects: "The stone hut is presumably an interior space, the barn is not, because it is high, uninsulated and unheated."
The question has not yet been completely decided in Lenggries
The advertising association Lenggries has not yet made a final decision as to whether it will set up the “magic lights”: “We are still in the last tough negotiations,” says chairwoman Martina Müller.
The question of power supply, for example, has not yet been clarified.
“We haven't made a commitment yet, but we're heading in the direction of yes,” says Müller.
An internal meeting is planned before a final decision can be made.
Kochler Markt is on the brink
On the other hand, the Christkindl market in the center of Kochler, which the association “Die Kochler” wants to organize, is on the brink.
"We have just received the framework concept from the Ministry of Economic Affairs," says chairman Franz Linner, but is skeptical: "I don't know whether we can keep it that way."
