Catering permit Exemption from blackout period
Description
The closure period is the time in which the establishment must be closed to guests.
Pursuant to Section 18(2) of the Restaurant Act of the Land of Saxony-Anhalt (GastG LSA) of 7 August 2014, the Ordinance of 21 October 1991 on the Fixing of the Closure Period for Pubs and Restaurants as well as for Public Entertainment Venues (SperrzeitVO) of 21 October 1991, as last amended by Article 18 of the Act of 17 June 2014, expired on 31 December 2014.
This was replaced by the Hazard Prevention Ordinance of 16 December 2014 on the determination of the closure period for pubs and restaurants as well as for public entertainment venues (closure period GAVO), which came into force on 01.01.2015. In contrast to the previous blocking period VO, the GAVO blocking period does not contain any regulation of a general blocking period for pubs and restaurants.
According to § 1 Abs. 1 Ziff. 3 Closure period GAVO only begins at 1 a.m. and ends at 6 a.m. for the use for the operation of pubs and restaurants with enclosed open spaces as well as other outdoor pubs and dining establishments outdoors and in open-air marquees (so-called outdoor restaurants). In the presence of a public need or special local conditions, the blocking period can generally be extended, shortened or lifted by a hazard prevention ordinance. For individual companies, the blocking period can be shortened or cancelled for a limited period of time and revocably in the presence of a public need or special local conditions, in which case conditions can also be imposed.
