The pub gardens are being extended.
The city council wants to allow the innkeepers to enjoy outdoor dining, including patio heaters, until March 31st.
That causes trouble at the CSU.
Munich - Munich's pub gardens * will remain open until March.
After the city council had already extended the approval for the expanded open-air bar areas to the end of November in October, the plenum on Thursday (November 25) agreed to tolerate the pub gardens until March 31.
Until then, innkeepers can continue to operate the heaters powered by green electricity.
Munich SPD city councilor Roland Hefter: "The landlords urgently need our help"
"Our hosts urgently need our help," says SPD city councilor Roland Hefter *.
“Most of the Christmas parties have been canceled, the guests are missing.
Outdoor catering can help to keep the business going at least to some extent. "
Green city councilor Gudrun Lux * said it was a difficult decision.
“Of course we have to avoid and limit contacts.
But the contacts that exist anyway have to be as secure as possible.
And it's safer outside than inside. ”OB Dieter Reiter (SPD) said in the plenary that it had to be clear that 2G would also have to apply in the pub gardens because of the Corona * situation.
“The Free State does not provide for that for outdoor catering.
And we don't want to create opportunities for unvaccinated people to meet here. "
Munich: CSU City Councilor Thomas Schmid annoyed - "The citizens have their say"
The CSU supported the continued operation of the patio heaters, but not the extension of the pub gardens in Munich *.
City councilor Thomas Schmid * said that he saw the objections of the citizens, especially the residents who could no longer find a parking space.
“Nevertheless, out of solidarity with the catering industry, many endured the situation, but above all because politicians have signaled that the pub gardens will be dismantled in late autumn.
We stand by the citizens. “
