Oberwildfleckener are inoculated on carnival

The wind whistled frostily through oberwildflecken yesterday. At 620 meters above sea level, the fools at the foot of the kreuzberg are naturally used to this and don’t love to spoil the carnival procession through the town. And to the auarmen the cars had each quantity with on board: from the warm magic potion of the SCK-miraculix up to the alcoholic impf-spritzen of the toyota-team rhon.

"It really started in 1990 from kindergarten", georg zurek remembers the beginnings of the oberwildflecken carnival procession. The kindergarten in the smallest part of wildflecken was closed a year ago, but the organization of the increasingly rough procession had already passed to the local sports club, the SCK (for sportclub kreuzberg) oberwildflecken.

Overwhelming approval in referendums in bavaria

For the five referendums that will also be put to the vote on sunday, in addition to the state and district elections, an overwhelmingly high level of acceptance is emerging. After just under a quarter of the votes had been counted, approval of the individual questions on monday ranged between 85 and 93 percent.

The referendum on adequate funding for municipalities met with the greatest approval among voters, while the referendum on EU matters received the fewest yes votes. The other three achieved an approval rating of around 90 percent each. The voter turnout was around 64 percent.
Four of the five constitutional amendments are new state goals that are also to be enshrined in the bavarian constitution: "equal living and working conditions throughout bavaria, in the city and the countryside", the demand for honorary office, a debt brake and adequate financial resources for the municipalities by the free state.

The crux of the cross: (not) a topic in the habberge district

The crux of the cross: (not) a topic in the habberge district

The marketing minister president of the free state of bavaria, markus soder, did it again. Recently, his crucifix decree for bavarian service buildings was a media coup that has lasted for more than a week now.

Soder likes to seek the public with provocatively displayed self-confidence (home) and most of the time his plan works, especially the users of social media love to shitstorm the CSU politician (roughly: "verbally bash someone on the internet with or without justification") and soder even seems to enjoy it.

Weir makes the natural pool fit

The natural adventure pool in rothenkirchen is currently being spruced up not only for the upcoming swimming season, but also because of the benefit concert that will take place on 14. July will be held at 7 pm at the natural swimming pool. It will simply be the highlight of the year for rothenkirchen, as the musical star uli scherbel could be won over as a guest. The star from rothenkirchen will have his own show with "songs for a summer night" present. The whole thing for a good cause, namely for the demand for the expansion of the popular youth campsite.
Also the voluntary fire department of rothenkirchen put a lot of work into making the natural swimming pool fit for the future. It was pleasing to see that young florians from the youth fire department also lent a hand. Gravel cleaning and rinsing work were the main tasks required to ensure that the natural swimming pool is once again filled with clear, pure water and invites swimmers to swim. 15 firefighters were busy for more than three hours and thus the FF rothenkirchen performed 45 working hours.

Logistics company cs trans moves to michelau

The relocation plans of the logistics company CS trans now seem to be rapidly taking on very concrete form – in the michelau business park "am bahnhof". The project was presented at the most recent meeting of the municipal council and the committee passed a unanimous resolution for a minor change to the development plan. The originally planned new building at the former grundfeld company headquarters is therefore off the table.

The necessary procedures with public interpretation are still to come, but everything could go smoothly. The 4.5 hectare site is 80 percent owned by the municipality and has been designated as a commercial area for about 30 years. The decision to change now concerns the access road, which will have to be less long because there is now only one site to be developed. If CS managing director christian schad has his way, the front hall of the two roughly planned 10,000 and 9,000 square meters could be occupied as early as next year. The rear one is to be built in a second construction phase. Schad said that what he had not achieved in two and a half years in bad staffelstein had become possible in two and a half months in michelau.

The critical look into the muhlhausen geast

No, they do not talk to the trees. Nevertheless, baume uwe niedenthal and reinhard hegwein have a lot to say. Although the contact of the two engineers with the trees of the market community is basically purely visual. As long as the circumference of the trunk is not measured and a "license plate" is affixed is attached. The two employees of maschinenring franken are "certified tree inspectors" and currently on the road in the community.

A digital tree cadastre

Their tools are a bandmab, a hammer and a special device that gives a number to each tree. An "outdoor tablet" is also very important, on which the location and condition of the tree can be entered. In this way, a digital tree cadastre is created, which will be handed over to the community in the end.

You can hear them from far away: children running across the field in front of the fish farm, all within the framework of the vacation pass action in volkach. The children were on a hike in the main loop region in the morning, with some parents as chaperones. Now they have reached their destination: the gerstner fish farm under the management of michaela gerstner-scheller. She warmly welcomes the children and takes them to the large fish ponds in the farm yard.

There, gerstner-scheller explains that the pond contains char, catfish, eels, trout and koi, among other fish, what their tasks are and that the company breeds both food and ornamental fish. The children listen with interest and ask a lot of questions, but most of them can’t wait to do something themselves.
