The restaurant, called Oma's Küche - Grandma's Kitchen, in Binz on the island of Rügen on the Baltic Sea coast, made the decision so that guests would not be bothered by unruly children in the evening. Owner Rudolf Markl said he wanted to offer his guests an "oasis of calm". He said the ban was not explicitly against the offspring but, rather, against the parents "who no longer have their children under control". The restriction was, after all, made for guests who wanted to spend an evening in peace. When he opened his restaurant in 2007, it was the first non-smoking restaurant on the island.
