Initially, the mayor postponed the curfew in the restaurant sector until midnight for discussion. He also suggested advancing the curfew not only in the city of Salzburg, but also in the surrounding communities so that night owls cannot travel to local restaurants.
In coordination with the federal government, Salzburg, Tyrol and Vorarlberg are moving the curfew on the gastronomy of …

Previous curfew on “West Axis”
The governor of Salzburg, Wilfried Haslauer (ÖVP), highlighted in a broadcast on Tuesday the need for the measure decided today by the “West Axis”. “Current development makes it imperative to bring a curfew to 10 pm, as one of the greatest dangers of spread can be traced back to the rampant celebrations in nightclubs.”
This measure aims, on the one hand, to prevent “private celebrations” (outside private apartments) in towns after curfew and, on the other hand, to protect the entire catering industry. “Short-sighted recklessness is not only putting an entire industry under pressure, it is also threatening our entire country with travel advisories and a second lockdown,” Haslauer explained. It’s also about saving the winter season.

NEOS sees “the death sentence for many companies”
Sepp Schellhorn, a NEOS economics spokesman and a restaurateur himself, speaks of the “death sentence for many companies.” For the company, all the planning foundations are breaking down. “It is not crisis management, it is a zigzagging course that ruins companies,” he criticizes.
The main annoyance of this approach is that it carries the maximum financial damage, but it will not solve the problem. “Young people and students will continue to celebrate with a six-pack of beer on the banks of the Salzach, because their private outdoor parties are not affected by the curfew,” Schellhorn said. “The only thing that will bring a curfew at 10 pm are challenging reactions,” says NEOS councilor Lukas Rößlhuber along the same lines.
SPÖ wants to help restaurateurs
The head of the Salzburg SPÖ, David Egger, says in the S24 conversation: “We will vote with a stomachache when the curfew is brought forward, but at the same time we demand that we think about how we can help interested restaurateurs.” Egger continues: “You have to be very clear that now we are paying for what has gone wrong at the federal level at the state level, because no one looks through the traffic lights in Corona anymore.”
FPÖ: Measure harasses young people
Salzburg FPÖ President Marlene Svazek can only gain little from the early curfew, as she made clear in a broadcast Tuesday morning, before the move was announced. “Increased bullying of youth will ultimately mean that soon no one will want to go the same way,” he says with conviction.

“Slap in the face of the owners”
The advancement of the curfew has also been the subject of harsh criticism in the industry itself. In the SALZBURG24 conversation, the operator of the two bars Flip and Soda Club in the state capital gives free rein. HERE you come to the interview.
Salzburg trade association gastronomy spokesperson Alexandra Priewasser also encountered a “slap in the face to 99 percent of innkeepers who adhere meticulously to the measures.” She called on politicians to “work out concepts together with Wilmingtonurs instead of issuing crude bans.”
The local mile Rudolfskai in the city of Salzburg is “a small part” of the nightlife of Salzburg. A debate in the federal state of Salzburg about advancing the nationwide curfew would be absurd, Priewasser said. “There is no reason why the curfew should be brought forward at Tamsweg, St. Johann or Alt-Liefering. The government is checking everyone with the lawnmower method instead of taking specific measures.”
Private parties difficult to control
Advancing the curfew would cause huge losses in the restaurant industry and more private parties, added the state director of the trade association, Hermann Wielandner. Unlike nighttime gastronomy, private parties are not very controllable. “Higher infection rates would be the logical consequence. This would turn the measure into a boomerang.”
“Pure madness”
The regional chairman of the non-party Salzburg Economic List, Josef Fritzenwallner, described the nationwide change to the curfew at 10 pm as “pure madness.” This “policy of terror” pushes the economy into the abyss.
