Deon shops in Fulda: Does the city need an upper limit?
In recent years, the number of kebab shops, barbershops and nail studios has increased significantly in German city centers, which in cities like Fulda and Heilbronn led to intensive discussions about possible upper limits for these companies. In Fulda there are concerns that the concentration of such shops endangers the diversity of retail. While the CDU in Heilbronn is asking to introduce an upper limit for kebab shops to maintain a diverse city center, this idea is based on an expert opinion that sees a legal basis for such measures. Christoph Troßbach, CDU City Councilor in Heilbronn, explained: "We are concerned with the fact that we have a diverse city center as possible with a wide range", as well as SWIR reports .various opinions and concerns
in Fulda, most parties in the city council have themselves in favor of such an upper limit. The CDU plans provide active promotion of retail instead of imposing restrictions. Group leader Patricia Fehrmann emphasizes the need to create incentives for new and diverse concepts. Critics fear that too many local companies that promote diversity and a pleasant cityscape could be under pressure through such measures. The SPD and the Greens also warn against reducing a basically healthy competition through rigid guidelines.
The DEHOGA restaurant association in Baden-Württemberg expresses a similar concern. The association sees the rapidly growing number of snack bars as a result of "politically controlled framework conditions" and suggests that the creation of fair conditions for all types of restaurants, instead of upper limits, could be a more sustainable solution. In Heilbronn it is further discussed whether the city administration should not finally create fair framework conditions to support classic gastronomy and to promote the attractiveness of the city centers, such as the Fuldaer Zeitung reported.
