The Endangered Beer Hall Adds to Germany’s Cultural Debate

Volunteers help clean the beer hall Zum Schanko, in preparation for a party to mark its closing for renovation, in Handorf-Langenberg, Germany, Aug. 9, 2018. The village’s effort to save the pub, by selling shares to residents, highlights the steady disappearance of traditional venues as Germany grows older and more diverse. (Lena Mucha/The New York Times)
