Schaffermahlzeit

The Schaffermahlzeit (literally "Worker's Meal") is an annual banquet held in Bremen, Germany[1] for merchants and shipping managers.

[1] Shaffermahlzeit has been held in the Bremen Town Hall since 1952, and hosts 200 seafaring workers and 100 public figures each year.

[5] The Bremen council gave permission to the Sailor's guild to hold the event and collect donations from the public in 1545.

[7] The protesters were directing their pleas towards the many government officials attending, particularly Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, Peter Altmaier.

[8] Local law enforcement procured an entrance for the displaced attendees, and during the meal Altmaier expressed his approval of expanding Bremen's climate policy with Wind power.
