Not only for the brave knight from “Lohengrin”.
The entire Uttinger lake stage is threatened with extinction.

A resident in Utting is threatening an injunction against the summer market and the floating stage - even though he doesn't live directly next to the park.
Utting - In the early 20th century, at the time of the Prince Regent and his Royal Bavarian District Court, the world was still in order.
The Uttingen innkeeper family Summer ran the “Summer am See” restaurant, the most popular excursion restaurant in the region.
The unique location with a large beer garden under chestnut trees all the way to the lakeshore attracted crowds of day trippers.
Back then, none of the residents would have thought of threatening the innkeepers with legal action because the beer mugs were clattering too loudly.
Will the summer market and floating stage in Utting come to an end?
The site has long since become a community-owned landscape park with strict park regulations that prohibit noise from all sources.
With two approved exceptions each year: the floating stage by Florian Münzer and the artisan summer market by Miene Gruber.
Both institutions are now threatened with closure because a resident who doesn't even live directly next to the park feels disturbed by the noise.
He sent both organizers a 40-page lawyer's letter threatening an injunction.
Miene Gruber has already slimmed down for this year's summer market from June 21st to 23rd: live music and catering operations end at 10 p.m.
Gruber said bitterly that he couldn't allow anything more.
If it becomes “legal,” he wants to launch a crowdfunding campaign under the motto “Save the Summer Market” to cover his costs.
One against all - residents are threatened with an injunction
Florian Münzer has also already rowed back after the resident threatened him with a lawsuit.
On his stage platform, which was specially built for a playing time of 16 to 20 days, the performance is played without a microphone or loudspeaker.

Holger Schmidt-Lutz, a long-time member of the ensemble, expressed his horror “at the selfish activities of a single citizen against the cultural plans for the general public in our village.” The whole thing seems to him like a legal gimmick, “but unfortunately it has a delaying effect can."
Daniela Herzog, who organizes the Uttinger Christmas market, is also horrified: “A single Uttinger who has chosen Utting as his adopted home is threatening an injunction.
Because it seems to bother him that tens of people from Uttingen set out every year to organize two cultural offerings that are known far beyond the village borders and are loved and appreciated." That is "a slap in the face" for the creators.
Herzog wonders what comes next: bans on the Leonhardi ride, morning pint music in the beer garden, jumping from the lido tower or the Christmas market?
“The lake stage and summer market are valuable mosaic pieces of our beautiful, colorful Utting.
We shouldn’t let one individual take it away and destroy it.”
