A beer garden should now help against loud young people on the lower bridge in Bamberg.

However, they sense other motives.

Bamberg – The youth did not have it easy in the two years of the corona pandemic.

Particularly strict corona rules applied at school or university.

In leisure time, the range of entertainment has been severely restricted.

Bars, clubs or concerts fell flat.

Meeting too many people indoors immediately became the basis for superspreader events.

So many of them went outside.

The Bamberg youth increasingly chose the Untere Brücke for their meetings - to the chagrin of the local residents and the city.

BR across: beer garden should drive away too loud young people

The BR program across has now taken on this topic.

Because the city of Bamberg has now found a more or less creative way to scare the young people off the bridge.

A beer garden has now been set up where crowds of tourists meander through every day and where young people celebrate in the evenings.

A lucrative business idea for the operator Tom Land and the city saves the constant use of the police.

"We can finance it during the day, with the beer garden," explains Land.

With the daily income, a security service is paid at night, which ensures law and order.

The young people of Bamberg feel let down by the city.

"And then they hit it with a wooden hammer" on the problem, complains Mathis Röder in the quer interview.

"Here, something is taken from the youth and given to other people." According to the city, the youth should now move to the outskirts.

There is enough space for them there.

But that is out of the question for her.

Röder wants to know exactly what the city wants to achieve with it.

An unpleasant problem should be solved without it falling back on politics, he sums up.

But not only the city is annoyed by the noisy youth.

Local residents also feel disturbed.

Ingeborg Bartels reports to BR: "They come from the train station - with beer crates.

And then they sit there and then there's drum music until five o'clock in the morning.

[...] It's just unbearable."

Resident Ingeborg Bartels was often annoyed by the loud young people on the bridge.

The city tried many things beforehand.

A ban on alcohol, a ban on the sale of alcohol and police checks were of little help.

The ultima ratio was the closure of the bridge at night.

"But that wasn't really what you want," summarizes press spokesman Michael Memmel.

"This is a public place that should be freely accessible." But you can no longer really feel free with the new beer garden.

Martin Lorber from the Alt-Bamberg Protection Association knows that freely accessible space is not far off.

"You're almost immediately sent on if you stand still for too long," Lorber told BR.

If you want to sit down, you have to drink and eat as well.

The city relativizes.

"The campaign is not about opening the door to commerce," explains press spokesman Memmel.

The priority is to stop the garbage and the noise.

The fronts seem to have hardened in Bamberg.

But for the city and local residents, the problem is now largely resolved.

The operator of the beer garden is happy.

And the youth?

They just meet up a few meters further down the Regnitz.

So now other residents have to live with the noise and the garbage.
