For the benefit of the catering trade: This year, outdoor seating is possible earlier in Moosburg, and in the future even all year round.
The landlords welcome this – and hope for further steps.
Moosburg
- VAT increase, inflation, staff shortages, vacancies and then also closures in the city center: Moosburg's restaurateurs currently have every reason to look at their business with worry lines.
Recently, voices have become louder among innkeepers demanding more support from the city for the ailing industry.
Now the town hall has reacted.
At a round table with representatives of the municipality and restaurateurs, Mayor Josef Dollinger promised “that outdoor dining in public areas will be permitted from March 1st this year – at no additional cost.”
Previously this was only permitted from April 1st and only until October 31st.
Dollinger continues: “In the future, year-round catering should also be possible.” The restaurant operators could submit corresponding applications and the city will create the legal basis.
This is what Moosburg innkeepers say about the new regulation
The town hall invited people to an exchange in order to find out and discuss the wishes of restaurateurs with outdoor dining.
Around 20 people responded to the call, the FT learned.
According to Dollinger, it was “consistently determined that outdoor dining contributes significantly to the revitalization of the city center.”
Not only the catering industry benefits, but also the retail sector.
One person who recently railed particularly vehemently against the ban on outdoor seating in the winter months is Josef Reif from Café Am Münster.
He was now one of the participants in the exchange - and appreciates the pragmatic initiative: “You have to praise the city for talking and then making a decision straight away.
That's how it should be done." For him and his profession, the change is "extremely important, because previously people were more or less driven out of Moosburg on a nice winter day if they wanted to eat or drink something outside."
In the future, seating in front of the weekly paper will only be available from April 1st to October 31st - due to a lack of sun.

According to Josef Reif, the mayor also asked for further suggestions from the restaurateurs, “but there wasn’t much that would have gone beyond the scope.”
From the café operator's point of view, it is now important to hold another round table together with the retailers.
“That was a first good step that many more have to follow.” As long as there is no concept for the city center, Moosburg will “somehow remain behind in terms of quality of life and quality of stay.”
Reif: “We will now get the baker Wiesender on the town square.
If the traffic continues to move between the store and the Da Claudio ice cream parlor opposite, neither one nor the other will be able to properly seat outside.”
Ingrid Huch-Hallwachs, landlady at Hirschen am Gries, who was also present in the town hall and would like to see less car traffic in the center in the long term, sees it similarly.
“That was a step in the right direction.
Our concerns were taken seriously by the city, and the regulation turned out exactly as I had hoped: that the restaurant can more or less decide for itself how long of the year outdoor seating is provided and how it is designed.
Invitation to everyone in the Hirschwirt “beer garden”
Huch-Hallwachs now wants to run her bar garden all year round; she has already ordered new plants.
And she extends an invitation: “With us you are welcome to sit like in a beer garden and bring your own drinks and food outside of our opening hours - as long as the rubbish is taken away.
When it's open, we ask you to drink our stuff and maybe eat our sandwich," says the landlady and laughs.

For Rüdiger Germaier from the Café-Bistro Woch'nblatt on Münchener Straße, the new regulations have no effect, as he says: “We are opening outside as usual from April 1st to the end of October.
Otherwise we only have shade, you'll freeze to death and sitting would only be possible with blankets." But Germaier welcomes the city's initiative: "It's good for those who have a place in the sun."
