Special use fees in Spandau: Relief for restaurateurs until the end of 2024

A hot jackpot for the gastronómen heroes in Berlin! Spandau has made a groundbreaking decision in a explosive session: the special use fees for outdoor restaurants, events and goods presentations are issued retrospectively! From May 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024! This is a real ray of hope for the heavily battered industries that suffer from the consequences of Corona pandemic and dizzying prices as a result of the Ukraine War.

District Mayor Frank Werbig leaves no leaf off his mouth:
"Our restaurateurs and organizers are the heart of cultural and economic life in Spandau. In these challenging times we have to be at your side! The decree of fees gives these industries the urgently needed space for relaxation and stabilization."

Another spokesman in this vital project is building councilor Thorsten Schatz. He emphasizes: "The last few years have been a nightmare for the catering and event industry! Increasing sales and the effects of the Ukraine war have increased the pressure in these areas immeasurably. The Senate has confirmed the very clear will to help the affected industries- and this is exactly what we implement here in Spandau!"

Companies and organizers who want to benefit from this generous decree have to hurry! By 18. October 2024 you can submit an informal application for reimbursement to the Spandau street and green area office. This applies not only to gastronomies that use their outdoor areas, but also to business owners who issue goods on streets and the organizers of street festivals! Here, traditional highlights such as the Spandau Altstadtfest and the Christmas market will definitely benefit from this relief. These events are not only a festival for the senses, but also a support for the local economy!
