📋 Tender Overview
“Making music in a tavern is a tradition that is lived in Bavaria and worth preserving! In order to preserve this enrichment of our local culture, the traditional 'Musician-Friendly Inn' project was launched in 1996. Since then, well over 500 Bavarian inns have been awarded the “musician-friendly” rating. We want to support the musical revitalization of our Bavarian restaurants even more powerfully in the future! Since 2019, the Free State of Bavaria has been supporting the annual awards event for musician-friendly inns with up to 10,000 euros in state funding. Through the agreement between the Free State of Bavaria and the Bavarian State Association for Homeland Care eV as the project's office, the cooperation that has been in place since 2019 is now binding - another positive step for the promotion of tradition and homeland in Bavaria and a real benefit for inns, musicians and music enthusiasts Guests alike!” says Finance and Home Affairs Minister Albert Füracker, pleased about the new cooperation agreement.
“The commitment of the Ministry of Homeland Affairs brings the 'Musician-Friendly Inn' project significantly further. This allows us to honor the innkeepers who graciously support folk music in a fitting setting,” adds the chairman of the Bavarian State Association for Homeland Care eV Dr. Olaf Heinrich.
The “Musician-Friendly Inn” project was initiated by the districts of Upper Palatinate and Lower Bavaria, the Bavarian State Association for Homeland Care. V. and the Bavarian Hotel and Restaurant Association DEHOGA Bayern e. V. brought into being. Today, all Bavarian districts are taking part in the project in a broad working group. The project helps to revive spontaneous singing and music-making in the dining room without admission, program or stage and thus brings an important area of ??local musical culture to the fore. The award-winning inns receive a plaque that signals to visitors that unannounced singing and playing music for their own enjoyment and for the entertainment of their guests is not only possible, but also desirable. In return, the inn provides snacks and drinks for the musicians. The new cooperation agreement between the Free State of Bavaria and the State Association for Homeland Care sets out basic ideas for supporting the project.
