The dispute between the federal states and the Federal Chancellery will become increasingly intense before tomorrow’s summit: at noon, the Prime Minister of Bavaria, Markus Söder (CSU), justified his tough stance, while the first head of state is putting new measures on hold from the crown!
The head of state of Rhineland-Palatinate, Malu Dreyer (59, SPD), has suspended the controversial accommodation ban; It will not go into effect today, Tuesday!
Dreyer justified the turnaround with nationwide discussion and “devastating feedback” from municipalities. However, Rhineland-Palatinate was not in favor of the accommodation ban. Above all, the approval only wanted to support a national line.
Dreyer wants to speak to the Federal Chancellor again about the ban on lodging at the heads of state switchboard.
Dreyer against, Kretschmann for the accommodation ban
Not so Winfried Kretschmann (Greens)! The state father of Baden-Württemberg continues to rely on the accommodation ban. “I just stopped the suspension of the accommodation ban,” Kretschmann told reporters in Stuttgart on Tuesday.
His reasoning: “We only have the virus under control if we are able to trace the chains of infection locally,” he said. Baden-Württemberg Minister of Social Affairs Manfred Lucha (Greens) also stated that hotels are known not to be hotspots when infected. The objective of the accommodation ban is to reduce the incentive for mobility.
Looking ahead to the conversation with the chancellor on Wednesday, Kretschmann is campaigning for the most uniform regulation possible when traveling in Germany. “Tomorrow is going to be difficult,” he admitted.
Söder: “They are about to lose control”
Bavaria’s head of state, Markus Söder (CSU), spoke of a “very serious situation” at noon. Söder: “We have to look the truth in the eye”, the situation threatens to spiral out of control. And that means “considerable danger to life and limbs.”
In our neighboring countries, the bad news is increasing: there are “extremely negative signs all around us”.

► “We don’t want a second blockade. But it comes close when there is no shaking, ”he continued. He advocates “uniformity, responsibility and understandability” and wants to work to ensure that tomorrow the new rules of the crown are adopted at the national level in the Foreign Ministry.
Söder emphasized again: “We don’t want a mosaic (of rules).” Rather, he wants “a clear set of rules for everyone.”
For him, however, it applies: “The infection number is the mother of all numbers.”
Söder: “Now we have to slow down Corona before we have to make real emergency brakes.” The next few weeks will be decisive, “if we can celebrate a relaxed Christmas.”
Specifically, he advocated for an extended mask requirement in public places and buildings. “With more masks, more is possible,” said the CSU chief, calling the mask “an instrument of freedom.”
In addition, Söder welcomed an alcohol curfew from 10 pm, as it is already in effect in Munich.
►Gerald Haug, president of the Leopoldina Academy, which advises the government, agreed with Söder at the press conference. At the Berlin summit on Wednesday, he said: “Tomorrow the course will be set as to whether we can stay below 20,000 new infections.”
Merkel invites prime ministers to face-to-face conference
Prime ministers will return to Berlin tomorrow for the first time in seven months to discuss the crown situation with Merkel. According to information from BILD, the conference will be held as a “physical presence format” at the express request of Merkel. The last meeting on site was on March 12, when it was decided to shut down the social and economic life in Germany due to the Corona crisis.
According to information from the BILD, the head of the Foreign Ministry, Helge Braun, justified the need for physical presence in a videoconference with the heads of the State Chancellery in light of the dramatic contagion situation in Germany.
▶ ︎ You should have an open discussion that “Historical dimensions” could have.
Government spokesman Steffen Seibert said on Monday that Chancellor Merkel (66, CDU) would listen to arguments from all sides. But these are state regulations.
Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (40, CDU) said in an Ifo Institute videoconference: “When it comes to mobility and there are no uniform rules, then … it undermines acceptance.” That is why it is important to be on Wednesday to follow a common line with the prime ministers.
Federal Minister of Agriculture Julia Klöckner (47, CDU) accused the state government of Rhineland-Palatinate on Twitter: “Hottie in RLP: First MP Dreyer announces a ban on accommodation, then thinks about it over the weekend to lift it today.”
Insanity at a glance
Most federal states decided on Wednesday that citizens of places with a very high number of corona infections can only be housed when traveling within Germany if they can present a negative corona test that is no more than 48 hours old.
In other words, if you want to go on vacation to Germany and you come from one of the German risk areas, you have to limit yourself to Berlin, Bremen, North Rhine-Westphalia and Thuringia.
► Because: In the other federal states, guests from regions where the incidence of 50 has been exceeded in seven days are not welcome. Hotels, pensions and holiday apartments cannot accommodate them.
Strange: Arrival is allowed, including club sandwich with friends or colleagues in the hotel lobby, but not overnight in a single room.
But that’s not confusion enough: In most federal states, you can “buy” an overnight permit with a negative corona test that is no older than 48 hours.
▶ ︎ Contrary to the decision of the heads of state chancelleries, Rhineland-Palatinate requires that a negative corona test should not be older than 24 hours.
▶ ︎ Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is even stricter and requires an entry test and orders quarantine as long as there is no second negative test.
▶ ︎ In Saxony-Anhalt, it is sufficient to have a certificate stating that there is no evidence of Covid 19 disease.
Hoteliers of “wave of excessive cancellations”
The German Hotel and Restaurant Association (Dehoga) awaits lawsuits against the accommodation ban. “I assume legal proceedings will begin here in the next few days,” general manager Ingrid Hartges said Sunday night at the BILD talk. “The Right Questions.”
The association recently reported that since the plans were known, accommodation businesses had been “crushed by a wave of cancellations.” This is hitting the already sick industry with “badly needed fall break business.”
Another Corona Zoff threatens – criticism from ALL sides
Numerous politicians had already called for the regulation to be withdrawn on Sunday and Monday.
In the BILD talk “The Right Questions”, Economic Affairs Minister Peter Altmaier (62, CDU) explained that uniform crown travel rules are needed: “There must be a uniform and clear regulation so that every citizen knows where they are. “
Also the prime minister of Bavaria Markus Söder (53, CSU) he urged a more uniform approach to crown measures. He will advocate for “clearer rules for all” at the Prime Minister’s Conference, he said in “Bayerischer Rundfunk” (BR).
▶ ︎ World Medical President Frank Ulrich Montgomery calls for clear and uniform guidelines for the population. “You have to bring people back,” he says on Deutschlandfunk. The population should not be confused with a total lack of transparency. He considers the accommodation ban to be “complete nonsense”, especially since family and business visits are allowed.
► The regulation is “constitutionally very problematic,” says the Former President of the Federal Constitutional Court, Prof. Hans-Jürgen Papier (77).
► Vice President of the Bundestag Wolfgang Kubicki (68, FDP) considers the measure to be “illegal”.
▶ ︎ SPD Health Expert Karl Lauterbach (57 years old) he sees no problem in traveling within Germany.
▶ ︎ The Executive Director of the Association of Cities and Municipalities, Gerd Landsberg, said the “Rheinische Post”: “With all the rules it is important that they are effective and understandable to the people.” That is what you expect from the Prime Minister’s meeting with the Chancellor.
▶ ︎ The President of the German Association of Cities, Lord Mayor of Leipzig Burkhard Jungcalls for abolition. The regulation “was not thought out, it will be necessary to return to it,” the SPD politician told the newspapers of the Funke media group. “Because we have no evidence that hotels or bus and train traffic are critical points. Hot spots come up completely different. “
▶ ︎ Also member of parliament of the Union Carsten Linnemann (43, CDU) demanded the withdrawal of the accommodation ban. “This measure has to go. It is anything but targeted, it is unlikely to be effective, “he told the” Passauer Neue Presse. “
