Farmers and craftsmen have repeatedly expressed their anger in recent weeks.

One of their points of criticism: the excessive bureaucracy.

But what exactly is bothering her?

The Tagblatt asked.

Fürstenfeldbruck – As the name suggests: craftsmen prefer to work with their hands.

They build houses, make sausage, cut hair or bake bread.

But more and more often they are being thwarted.

They spend more and more time on annoying paperwork.

The carpenter and the documentation

Andreas Obermaier, master carpenter from Hörbach and head of his guild, is particularly annoyed by the excessive documentation requirements.

Order documentation, time recording, proof of materials and resources, quality documentation, safety documentation, warranty documentation, environmental documentation, employee documentation and invoice documentation would take up a lot of time.

“This additional administrative effort can take up a lot of time that could otherwise be used for the actual manual work that earns money in the company,” explains Obermaier.

Struggle with the statistics

His colleague Werner Nau, head of the bakers' guild, particularly struggles with the many statistics he has to compile.

How many hours does its employees work full-time or part-time, how much is disposed of, how many hours is someone sick, how much is manufactured, how much is delivered?

The State Office for Statistics wants to know all of this.

What particularly annoys Nau: “We once asked who was looking at it.

The answer was devastating.

They said it was questionable whether anyone would even see it.”

Cash reports eat up a lot of time

The hairdressers are also annoyed by strange bureaucratic hurdles.

For Bettina Zellhuber, head of the hairdressers' guild, it is the cash report.

Every note and every coin must be listed there.

“Since a comparable amount of cash is still passed over the counter in the hairdressing industry and therefore a lot of individual coins and small notes flow, it is a lot of effort and it has to be done every day,” complains the master hairdresser.

In your opinion, this is incomprehensible.

The hairdresser's cash register must always be able to give out small change, and the employees must also have the opportunity to change their tips - but the cash report must be adjusted every time.

“The purpose of this type of control when the cash balance is correct is questionable,” said Zellhuber.

Accurately track nutrient flow

From the hairdressing salon to the fields: the bureaucracy is also making life difficult for the farmers who recently took to the barricades because of the cancellation of agricultural subsidies.

Ferdinand Wenig, farmer from Moorenweis and deputy farmer chairman, reports on the so-called material-electricity balance.

This is intended to make nutrient flows more transparent.

A balance must be drawn up of all the products and nutrients that have come to and left the farm.

“Sounds easy.

For companies with a lot of movement, this is an enormous effort.

Quantities are often difficult to estimate due to storage.

The meaning behind it is extremely questionable,” explains Ferdinand Wenig.
