Oberallgäu's Event Deregulation Hopes to Revive Public Life
Rural regions like Oberallgäu face challenges in maintaining vibrant public life due to strict event regulations. Without deregulation, festivals, parades, and markets may decline, impacting local communities. Clubs and volunteers currently grapple with overwhelming bureaucracy and liability risks.
The government of Schwaben has recently begun deregulating event regulations in Oberallgäu to simplify festival organization for clubs and associations. Currently, these groups are hesitant to host events due to complex bureaucratic hurdles. The process involves lengthy 18-page application forms, mandatory event concepts, permit requirements, and can take up to five months to process.
Volunteers who organize festivals in Oberallgäu face personal liability risks. If something goes wrong, they could be held personally responsible, potentially putting their personal assets at stake. Club leaders may also need to invest additional time to find insurance to protect themselves from liability.
Deregulation of event regulations in Oberallgäu aims to boost public life by making it easier for clubs and volunteers to organize festivals and other events. By reducing bureaucracy and liability risks, more local clubs and associations are expected to engage in event organization, enriching the region's public life.
