Kempten (dpa) - People in the Allgäu want to ring in the new year with cowbells instead of firecrackers after a call on social networks.

The request was distributed on Facebook under the title “S 'Allgäu schealed”.

The year 2021 should "not begin without a sound," write the previously unknown initiators.

First, the "Allgäuer Zeitung" reported.

A police spokesman said on Tuesday in Kempten that bells are generally allowed on their own property.

"If you look at the cessation of firecrackers, you won't get a report of disturbance from the police for ringing a cowbell at midnight."

In public, ringing bells after 9 p.m. is taboo, emphasized the spokesman.

"That's not a good reason to leave the apartment."

So waiting until the end of the nightly exit restrictions in Bavaria could also lead to a complaint: “If someone thinks they have to wake up the whole village at 5:02 am, the police would probably come to a different assessment of the situation than at midnight ».
