At the lake in Starnberg there will be no evening alcohol ban after all.

The city council overturned the ordinance on Monday, which provided for a ban from 8 p.m. – and was recommended by the main committee a week ago.

However, there may be a ban on alcohol in bathing areas during the day.

Starnberg – Was it because of the thin cast?

After all, eleven of the 31 Starnberg city councilors were absent from the meeting on Monday evening, including Mayor Patrick Janik, who fell ill over the weekend.

Or rather one or the other bad mail that might have been in circulation?

Or was there just a rethink?

The fact is: On Monday, the city council cashed in on the alcohol ban between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. on the lake promenade, the Böhler property, the Steininger property, in the Bucentaurpark and on the Percha lawn.

The vote went out 12:8 - exactly one week earlier, the Main and Finance Committee had voted 11:2 in favor of the ban and the corresponding regulation.

A week ago, only the Greens voted against it, but now other groups have rejected it as well.

The ban on alcohol will not have the desired success, prophesied Josef Pfister (BMS), who had voted in favor of the regulation in the committee.

"From 8 p.m. it mainly hits the wrong people," said Winfried Wobbe (UWG), who had also voted differently a week ago.

"You will not change youth culture by doing this, and we do not want to continue to support the culture of prohibition," emphasized Dr.

Johannes Glogger (WPS).

Anke Henniger (FDP) feared displacement to other areas of the city.

"I don't want our young people to celebrate on the parking deck at the north station," she said, and spoke of "lived Biedermeier austerity" if the alcohol ban were to be decided.

Franz Heidinger (BLS) was also with the Starnberg offspring: "Young people have the right to try things out at 16 or 18" - especially since there are no longer discos or bars for young people.

The Greens maintained their rejection.

"Young people also need space," said Dr.

Franz Sengl.

"It can't be that Starnberg becomes a retirement home."

"Those who sink bottles in the lake are not young people from Starnberg"

Marc Fiedler (FDP) did not want to accept that young people in Starnberg in particular would suffer from the alcohol ban.

On the Steininger property, for example, he identified external groups of 20 to 50 young people last year.

"Those who sink bottles in the lake are not young people from Starnberg," he emphasized.

"Do we want this to be a party zone?

Or do we want to return to a reasonable level of use?” Friedrich Federsel (Greens), who works full-time in youth work, was convinced that the influx to the lake would be reduced this year.

Since the Corona rules had been relaxed and clubs and bars had reopened, "a lot will change this year," he was sure.

Thomas Beigel (CSU) brought a completely different thought into the discussion.

"How about introducing a daytime alcohol ban until 7 p.m.?" he mused aloud.

Then most bathers would go home anyway and "make room for the party people".

In addition, consideration must be given to how glass bottles will be handled in the future.

"Not a weekend goes by without at least one or two people cutting their feet on broken glass," he said.

Exactly these two points also concern Mayor Patrick Janik, who originally even proposed a ban on alcohol from 3 p.m.

"Most of the complaints actually come during the day," he said yesterday in an interview with Starnberger Merkur.

Namely when young people start partying with alcohol and maybe a shisha in the midst of bathing families and children.

"You don't have to find it that good," he said.

"And swimming drunk in the lake is not recommended either."

Janik is therefore sticking to his plan for a kind of house rules for the bathing area.

This could very well include a ban on alcohol, but then during the day, as well as a ban on glass bottles and regulations on loud music and smoking areas.

The town hall is already working on it.

The draft is to be presented to the committees before the summer break.
