Changes

In the 15th century Waldwirtschaft Großhesselohe restaurant obtained a license to sell beer. 1930 the [Spaten] brewery bought it over. In 1995 the WaWi beer garden fought against a 9pm closing restriction requested by the Bavarian Administrative Court on behalf of local residents disturbed by the noise levels. The event led to the so-called Beer Garden Revolution at which 25,000 Munich residents took to the streets of Marientplatz to demonstrate for the preservation the Bavarian beer garden culture. A Bavarian Beer Garden Regulation was consequently established which applies to all traditional Bavarian beer gardens, ie. those where guests are permitted to bring their own meals while only buying drinks. The Waldwirtschaft beer garden is now permitted to play live music until 11pm.
