The Oktoberfest in Munich is famous the world over. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the city officials were forced to cancel it this year. Restaurants and taverns in the Bavarian state capital came together to plan an alternative called the "WirtshausWiesn" or "Tavern Wiesn". DW reporter Hallie Rawlinson went there!
The video was filmed on September 19th, 2020 when the the Hofbräu was allowing groups of 10 at the tables, now it is only 5.
Official corona rules in Munich: "You can visit restaurants with your family, members of another household, or with a group of 10 people. Guests must always keep a distance of 1.5 meters from each other - except at a table with people / families who are allowed to interact with each other anyway. This distance requirement also applies outdoors, for example in the beer garden. Asides that, the minimum distance of 1.5 meters also applies between waiters and guests."
