The open-air pool makers are facing a mountain of problems

Like yves kull-porisch, a frenchman who has lived here for 16 years and met his egloffstein wife jutta porisch in greece. He works as a cook in nurnberg and is one of only three water watchmen left at the egloffstein open-air pool. This was once all planned. In 2010, when the open-air swimming pool celebrated its 75th anniversary, the. When he celebrated his 100th birthday, a local water patrol group of ten people was euphorically formed. Today there are only three of them left. Because one water patroller is pregnant, the work in the practice is divided between two shoulders. "Most of them soon quit again", kull-porisch remembers. Especially because they had estimated the amount of work wrongly: "who likes to work eight hours for nothing on a sunday??", asks kull-porisch and points out a fundamental problem in this context: "people only want to take, but no longer want to give."

Traffic loves good at buchenbacher damm

The new traffic routing on buchenbacher damm has proved its worth, according to a press release from the erlangen city council.
As construction and planning officer josef weber told the environment, traffic and planning committee of the erlangen city council, the flow of traffic has been regularly monitored by experts on site since the end of the school vacations at rush hour. The traffic jams were due to the construction site, but in the meantime there are no more major obstructions.
Further improvements have been achieved by optimizing the traffic light circuits. The construction and planning officer went on to say that the markings and new traffic routing had also been rated as safe by the police. Overall, safety on the road has been significantly improved through improved markings, new crash protection and clear signage.
There are no inconsistencies in the accident statistics. Overall, the new traffic routing has significantly improved the punctuality of the buses. "Punctuality is one of the most important factors in making local transport more attractive for customers and thus an important contribution to relieving the strain on the roads", according to weber.
In the future, it would make sense to continue the bus lane after the freeway crossing in the direction of the city center. But that would have entailed a lot of rough handling and financial hardship. Buchenbacher damm, one of the most congested roads in the city, was extensively renovated last year. A new feature is a separate bus lane in the city center in order to maintain punctuality and timetable stability for the bus network or, for example, to the S-bahn stop paul-gossen-strabe. The lanes for motor traffic were rearranged, as were the crash barriers.

Wanted: yew trees in the frankenwald

The neanderthals knew it, robin hood and otzi obviously did too, and doctors appreciate it because it is used to develop active ingredients for cancer therapy. And yet it is sought after, the yew tree – throughout the frankenwald. The multitalent is to return to the native forests and for it one drives now still completely different protections on.

But first, why is the yew tree so urgently sought after that a "citizen science project" has now been initiated to secure the help of the population?? Several experts were able to answer this question, as they met at a natural monument near bernstein, a yew tree that is considered to be the oldest tree in the frankenwald. The gnarled tree is about 800 to 850 years old, but it could theoretically live for another 2150 years. No spab, because individual yew trees can actually be up to 3000 years old.
