Cheese dilemma in Hamburg: Popular snack closes because of neighbors!

Cheese dilemma in Hamburg: Popular snack closes because of neighbors!

A heart project in Hamburg comes to an end! The charming Helena Gleißner has to close her beloved snack business "Dr. Schneider's Grilled Cheese Wonderland" on St. Pauli, and the reason is as bizarre as it is sad. In her small 16-square-meter shop, she served delicious grilled cheese sandwiches and processed up to 10 kilos of cheese every day-from spicy Irish cheddar to the fine Swiss mountain cheese. But the heavenly fragrance was doomed.

The displeasure of a neighbor took care of her! Instead of confronting Helena directly, he turned to the landlord and the authorities who finally intervened in the case. What followed was a bureaucratic chaos: the district office Hamburg-Mitte accused them of operating a "unauthorized grill restaurant". She just prepared her sauces and the famous Mac’n’cheese in an external cuisine! The actual sale and grilling of the sandwiches should be harmless, but the officials saw it differently. They called for approval for grilling, including expensive retrofits or juicy punishments of 5,000 euros for every preparation. A financial nightmare!

The final blow for Helena Gleißner

Helena had remained brave, let several ventilation experts come who had found their deduction. But the city remained adamant and put it under pressure. As if 15,000 euros in legal costs were not enough, the landlord also terminated and no longer extended the rental agreement. Your dream of cheese sandwiches is destroyed. But Helena doesn't give up! She plans to offer her catering soon in a food truck and to distance them from the bureaucratic constraints of the Hamburg-Mitte district. A heartbreaking loss for the district, which will soon smell a little less for cheese.
