Overview

• Second Mayor Dominik Krause ordered the 22:00 bottled-beer prohibition for five kiosks to be set aside starting Friday, also pausing a related takeaway-alcohol curb on a licensed venue.
• City officials will step up street cleaning and deploy AKIM and MoNa teams to manage conflicts as they pursue a negotiated fix with operators and residents.
• Krause warned the curbs could return if disturbances persist and called on kiosk owners to reduce noise, including through measures such as silencers and active crowd management.
• The KVR reported initial improvements during two weeks of enforcement, citing less noise, litter and alcohol-related incidents, even as kiosk owners described sharp revenue losses and held a small protest.
• Authorities emphasized there was no bespoke chips ban, framing covered snack shelves after 20:00 as enforcement of Bavaria’s Ladenschlussgesetz, which limits assortments after closing time and excludes chips from the privileged range.
