Because of the Corona situation in the Freising district, five Christmas markets have now been canceled in the Ampertal.

In Fahrenzhausen they rely on a virtual offer.

Ampertal

- The decision had actually been made to hold the Fahrenzhausen Christmas market this year and plans had already been made for this.

The situation was similar in other Ampertal communities.

But now there is one rejection after the other.

(By the way: Everything from the region is now also available in our regular Freising newsletter.)

After the explosive increase in the number of infections, the ripcord was pulled in Fahrenzhausen.

As an alternative, however, a private initiative is now preparing a virtual Christmas market for the coming weekend in the background.

Virtual meeting next weekend

Mayor Heinrich Stadlbauer said about the cancellation of the market that there was actually no alternative to the decision.

The opinion was also clear during meetings with the associations and institutions involved.

Only one club was not very enthusiastic about the cancellation.

After all, the booths had already been reserved, plans had been made to straighten out the event, and the area around the school car park should also be controlled according to the 3G rule by fencing in the area around the school car park.

Some of the clubs have already prepared their products for sale and now want to sell them individually at different locations.

Mayor Stadlbauer has already noticed a lot, for example, how home-baked cookies or jam jars are brought to the man or woman via other (private) channels.

In Fahrenzhausen it is currently also making the rounds that this week a private group is knitting with a hot needle at a virtual Christmas market.

By the end of the week, the virtual meeting should be on a website, where the citizens of Fahrenzhausen can order Advent offers and are to be brought into the Advent mood in various virtual forms.

"Too many concerns, too high a risk"

But the popular pre-Christmas event does not only have to be canceled in Fahrenzhausen: the municipalities of the Zolling administrative community have also decided to take this step. “Who would have guessed: A few weeks ago we were sure that our life would finally return to normal, step by step. Unfortunately, the situation has worsened again so that we now have to take the necessary steps, "said a message that the VG sent out on Tuesday morning. After detailed consultations with the four mayors of VG Zolling and the administration, the decision was made with a heavy heart to cancel the markets in Attenkirchen, Haag, Wolfersdorf and Zolling. The reason for this decision:"The current corona infection is causing too many concerns and is too high a risk for participants and visitors."
