Beer garden revolution
As a beer garden revolution designated Munich media from breweries organized and local politicians protests, which on 12. May 1995 around 25,000 Munich during a demonstration for obtaining beer garden culture took to the streets.
The protests were triggered by a ruling by the Bavarian Administrative Court , which ordered the curfew in the beer garden of the Waldwirtschaft near Pullach to be brought forward to 9:30 p.m. to protect residents from the noise . Local politicians, business associations and the media organized the “popular anger” and promised to work for a change in the law.
In the week following the protests, the Bavarian state government issued the Bavarian Beer Garden Ordinance , in which the curfew was set at 11 p.m. The local residents' association of plaintiffs fought against the new legal basis and in January 1999 won the last instance before the Federal Administrative Court . The BVerwG criticized the fact that the Beer Garden Ordinance did not restrict noise emissions and thus placed an excessive burden on residents.
In April 1999, the Bavarian state government reacted in time for the summer and beer garden season and issued a new version of the Bavarian Beer Garden Ordinance. Then traditional beer gardens were defined, the character of which is characterized by being served under trees and where guests are allowed to bring their own food and only purchase the drinks on site. For these traditional beer gardens, the curfew has been extended to 11 p.m. and new noise limits have been set 5 decibels above the general limit value in their surroundings, with which they have been equated with sports facilities.
For beer gardens in the urban area of Munich, the city in which the beer garden revolution took place and where there are most of the traditional beer gardens, the beer garden revolution did not have a single impact on the curfew. Before the beer garden revolution, there was a statutory curfew of 1.00 a.m. for most beer gardens.
