The Uhrstammtisch in the Bräustübl in Salzburg has been around for 40 years. Peter Fischwenger chairs the table. He has practically been the head of the regulars' table for 14 years. "We don't need WhatsApp to meet up. Someone is always there at 3 pm."

"We don't talk about politics," says Ernst Schmiedinger. The retired butcher and landlord is referring to his regulars' table. Their meeting place is the Augustiner Bräustübl in Salzburg-Mülln. Room 1, under the large wall clock. That's why it's also called the clock regulars' table. It has been around for 40 years. It has around 20 members. And it takes place every day. Seven days a week.
