Krampus run in Thörl-Maglern: chaos and calls after a ban on alcohol

in Carinthia, after a traditional cramp run, there were violent riots last weekend. As usual, the event began at the fire station in Thörl-Magler, Villach-Land district. However, the mood was increasingly irritated during an after-show party. In relation to the developments, witnesses report overturned standing tables, damaged counters and various other devastation that converted the loved one into a chaos. The bodily harm among those present was also not to be overlooked, and valuable masks of the Krampuses disappeared without a trace.

The incident re -sparked the discussion about a ban on alcohol at such celebrations. As the customs expert Josef Pickl-Habner emphasizes, there is already a code that regulates the handling of alcohol during crampus runs. "There are rules that the Krampuses have to stick to. A ban on alcohol applies throughout the events," he said, adding that Krampusse have to bear responsibility that goes beyond the event.

need for conversation on social media

The topic is discussed in social networks. Many users such as Erika.freiler support a ban on alcohol: "Customs should be funded, but not under the influence of alcohol". The situation is similar also to Swollfuehleck : "If things are no longer peaceful, yes!" These voices question the use of alcohol during such events, whereby it is also pointed out that alcohol is often used to hide behind masks and justify excessive misconduct.

On the other hand, there are also critical opinions about a ban. Users like Koeckmichaela express skepticism: "Would you like to determine what people consume?". They believe that everyone should decide for themselves whether they consume alcohol or not. The logistical challenges of control are also discussed; simburgergunter notes that the implementation of such a ban is impossible.

The width of the perspectives

Another interesting position comes from __ Juso , which requires a per thousand limit in the sense of road traffic: "Up to 0.5 per thousand is completely okay". This idea aims to ensure a certain degree of security without completely banishing alcohol.

In the broad discussion about customs, there are different views. While some users such as br0ken_83 demand that "normality should stop" to avoid injuries and excessive escalation, there are also critical voices that perceive the whole customs. Users such as mina.elli.evans refer to the Krampus runs as "nonsense" and advocate a ban on this tradition, especially with the reservation of an alcohol ban.
