Dying pubs? Pub life! - Bavarian exhibition 2022
The 2022 Bavarian exhibition "Wirtshaussterben? Wirtshausleben!" at the Haus der Bayerischen Geschichte in Regensburg is accompanied by a half-hour documentary film by Dr. Michael Bauer. This impressive documentary explores the theme of the exhibition and discovers traditional inns that closed their doors for good long before the coronavirus lockdown. The reasons were often a lack of profitability or a lack of successors. But the cozy parlors of these inns still hint at their glory days. Bavarian cabaret artist Gerhard Polt will be on hand to provide humorous and apt insights as a quick-witted expert.
