Schwerin blooms: exterior catering as the key to urban life!

In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the outer gastronomy blooms and puts the cities alive than ever. In Schwerin in particular, the use of public areas is used to give the catering instinct more scope. As reports Schwerin-lokal.de, the city has already changed some streets such as Puschkinstraße and Domstrasse into pedestrian zones in order to create better conditions for external management. Lars Schwarz, the President of the Hotel and Restaurant Association (DEHOGA) MV, emphasizes how important these measures are for the cityscape and quality of stay.

The importance of external catering is not only shown in Schwerin, but also in other cities in the northeast. Cafés and restaurants want more space to create an inviting ambience for the guests. Black: "An active outdoor catering contributes to liveliness and the feel -good climate in the cities." In Neubrandenburg in particular there are efforts to intensify the area applications and to expand the outdoor catering, such as Zeit.de.

use scope of design

An example of a successful development is Buschstraße in Schwerin, where a gastronomic focus has established itself. Here the city administration has installed mobile city furniture that helps the restaurateurs to make the outdoor areas appealing. Nevertheless, the city administration shows understanding for the challenges: it often turns out to be difficult to create enough space for all user groups on classic sidewalks.

But what about other north German cities? While seven new permits for expansion areas have been granted in Wismar, the situation in Greifswald and Stralsund remains rather behavior. There is currently no plan to expand outdoor catering here, although applications for special use are still possible. This shows that the reviews and measures in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania can vary. For example, Rostock temporarily expanded certain areas for outdoor catering during the Corona pandemic to help the companies.

between business and public interests

The city of Schwerin takes up a mediating role by taking into account the economic interests of the companies and the public use of the areas. This requires a good balance so that the different interests can be brought under one roof. Birgit Hesse, President of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania tourism association, underlines the special location of many restaurants and cafes and their influence on the attractiveness of the cities.

Overall, it turns out that the outdoor catering is more than just a nice place to linger. It is an important factor for the quality of life in the cities and at the same time represents a challenge that needs to be mastered cleverly. The long -term effectiveness of the measures in Schwerin depends, among other things, on the willingness of citizens to accept additional outdoor areas. A good knack for the design could make the city a model for others who want to handle it similarly.

This is how the development of external catering remains in Schwerin and beyond that, which should always be on mobility, accessibility and security. The future of gastronomy outdoors could not only enliven the city center, but also become a real plus for regional tourism.
