Overview

  • The Kreisverwaltungsreferat applied Bavaria’s Ladenschlussgesetz to five long-opening kiosks, forcing them to cover chips after 20:00 and halt bottled beer sales after 22:00.
  • Officials cite early improvements in late-night public order but acknowledge that semester and school holidays may be skewing the results.
  • Kiosk owners including Shivan Beseh and Al Bezihi Nechirvan warn of steep after-hours revenue losses and say they will pursue legal and political challenges.
  • Around 60 protesters led by Die Partei marched through Schellingstraße demanding unrestricted late-night access and equal treatment with bars.
  • Local politicians from the CSU, SPD and satire party Die Partei are now weighing further measures to balance nightlife disturbances with small-business interests.
