The curfew for Berlin innkeepers has been in effect for almost a week. Now the regulation is starting to break down. The lawyer Niko Härting (56) submitted an urgent request to the administrative court for six, then another five bars. Both requests were processed on Friday, there is no more curfew for all eleven bars! “The administrative court has ended the headless staccato measures,” said lawyer Härting.

Erik Venhues (39), owner of the “Aseven” event location at Alex: “Of course I am happy with the verdict.  Tonight we are going to see the situation, we are a little afraid that the guests will meet us.  To comply with all hygiene regulations, we have hired additional security personnel for today.  Other service employees are also available on call.  We don't want to provoke now or leave the store open forever.  It is simply that people can finish their drinks in peace ”(Photo: Christian Lohse)

The court’s reasoning: In the case of new infections, restaurants are of subordinate importance compared to families or friends. The curfew is unnecessary, illegal and a disproportionate interference with freedom of occupation! The doors of the eleven bars can now remain open, but alcohol can no longer be served after 11 pm It means: drink yes, order no.

The Senate immediately filed a complaint with the next higher instance: the Superior Administrative Court. The so-called provisional order should give wings to the veto. But at night, at least, this contradiction failed. Second Senate Loss in One Day!

Neukölln Health Councilor Falko Liecke (47, CDU) is skeptical: “I think that with this trial, the hospitality industry is shooting itself in the knee.
