Cologne - Big air at the "Longest Desch vun Kölle": On 19-20. September is the road to miles of Severin counter.
Calculated at 30 Anniversary, there's trouble with the New City Project organizers, who wants to refresh the fete, but reaps huge protests. Reason: complaints about high Außenstandmieten.
"The audacity, the killing off our business," said Athanasios Liomis the Apollo Grill. "For my two-yard barbecue I've always paid 350 euros, 595 euros this year."
Six and a half months after the city archive of collapse, many dealers are fighting the Severinstraße still with the consequences: the endless construction site outside the door, lack of clientele. "Now we are also ripped off yet," says Rico Banderras (Schmitz took over the Long and opened Rico's Saloon).
"In the first contract, we should both stores - three times each six-meter booth - to pay $ 1500. We were in front of the saloon caipirinha, offering beer and pork, in the long Schmitz soup and beer. Was banned. Sold and serviced according to the contract must be from within. But the tables and benches are still cost us $ 500. "
Also Reza Mrehravar kiosk owner complains: "I can not even sell drinks grilling outside. Now I do not even notice. "Beverage distributors Dieter Borghoff said:" It's like on the bazaar: everyone pays different rates. They should be like last year. We paid for our ten-meter-counter always 720 euros. Suddenly it's 1500th The interest group Severinstraße IGS had runtergehandelt City Project in 1000, but we do not get too clean. We are starting to tell. "
Hans Flock, director of City Project Event GmbH explains: "We were hired to improve the quality of the event - away from the trestle table level. The plan provides that anyone can sell outside his shop, as he usually offers in there, that the stage show will be improved and we set up tents uniform. That costs. "
Tables and chairs cost 34 euros per meter. But who out there offering food and drink, pays much more, because that indeed it could also provide more revenue. Flock: "If people do not want the new concept, okay. Then next time we are not just partners. "
