Munich's gastro death: Popular restaurants close their doors!

München, Deutschland - In Munich, several well -known catering businesses closed their doors shortly before the turn of the year. As Merkur Fraunhoferstrasse, which had to close after 19 years of operation. The Munich city cafe on the Jakobsplatz, which existed for 36 years, is also forced to close its gates due to renovation work on the city museum and significant loss of sales. Managing Director Otto-Gerhard Knoller-Weber called the tense economic situation and the lame economy as the main reasons for the decision.

Furthermore, the Zwetshaus Siebenbrunn at the zoo, which for 12 years, had to close because the costs have exploded. Operator Martin Osterrieder thanked the guests on the homepage for visits and discussions with the guests. The Occam Deli in Schwabing, another restaurant, has also closed after 12 years because new homeowners prefer an impersonal concept. The operators of the Occam Deli expressed that the closure was not voluntary.

economic challenges for gastronomy

The current economic situation brings numerous challenges. Restaurant operators fight with an acute lack of personnel, increased increased VAT rates and increased energy costs. These problems lead to a worrying trend in the Munich catering industry. According to tz close many restaurants, including cafes, restaurants and Wirtshäuser. The main reasons are the high energy and personnel costs as well as the return to the 19 percent VAT value. For example, the Greek tavern Lucullus in Giesing had to close after more than 30 years, even though it recorded good number of visitors.

In addition, the Tassilogarten in Haidhausen closed after almost 30 years due to the difficult labor market situation and social changes. The Spezlwirtschaft in Sendling and the Bellevue restaurant in Schwabing also had to close, the latter after eight years, due to the health problems of the operator and adverse framework conditions. Other important closures concern the Italian restaurant La Nonna in Maxvorstadt, which had to close after three years due to high costs, but not through bankruptcy, but through sale, as well as the traditional host house "At Sedlmayr" in the old town, which registered bankruptcy.

The location of the catering businesses in Munich thus shows an alarming trend that is significantly exacerbated by the economic difficulties. Closets such as that of the Preysing Garden in Haidhausen, which has already found a successor, are only part of a larger picture that also has clear symptoms of the same problem in the neighboring counties such as Giesing and Unterschleißheim.
