Gambled in the bar, partied or simply sat down with a beer: in the Corona lockdown, dozens of landlords in Hesse violated requirements.

“This has no statistical relevance.

But of course there are the black sheep, ”said General Manager Julius Wagner from the German Hotel and Restaurant Association (Dehoga) in Hesse to the dpa news agency.

In a communication from the state government on the rules for gastronomy in the second lockdown, it simply says: “Facilities that do not focus on serving food are to be closed.

This includes in particular: bars, pubs, taverns, shisha bars. "

Since the beginning of November, the public order office in Frankfurt alone has initiated 75 proceedings for violating the ban on catering, mainly against the operators of drinking halls, when the pubs were closed.

In addition, 13 proceedings were initiated because, contrary to all rules, there were guests in the pubs.

"Wherever there are regulations and laws, they are broken," said Wagner.
