First find from ebern’s stone age

First find from ebern's stone age

For the district’s local historian, it is "a small sensation in local history"; the regional archaeology officer of the state office for the preservation of historical monuments speaks of a "remarkable find", but also "nothing unusual. It is about a piece of basalt stone about 8 centimeters long, 3 centimeters wide and 1.5 centimeters thick. Now basalt is nothing special in the region. But if the good stucco was worked by hand thousands of years ago, then local historian gunter lipp becomes clairvoyant. Especially if it was found in ebern, where no stone-age finds have been documented so far.

Discovery in the bean patch

At the beginning of may, the former teacher elisabeth sohnlein had discovered the ratsel-like gray stone while gardening on her property in the muhlenviertel. Archaeological finds, a kind of spearhead, a stone awl or a spindle made of red stone had already been discovered there in the past eight years when she was digging up the flowerbeds. Plus lots of ceramic shards, teeth and bones.

Quidditch in a self-experiment: when fantasy becomes reality

I am confused. And not because I have to hold a one-meter-long plastic pole between my legs as a substitute for a broom. After the first few throws I got used to having only one hand free. And this one just grabs a volleyball.

And now? What do I have to do as a jager? "Beware, drivers", shouts a teammate. Shortly after that a volkerball hits me. I have to stop the attack and run back to my goals, only then am I allowed to actively intervene in the game again. In real life, the harry potter sport quidditch is quite crazy.

Schalke’s head of sports: “obliged to have ambitions”

Schalke's head of sports: 'obliged to have ambitions'

After a pithy "hiccup," peter knabel, as the new head of sports, laid out without further ado the course of action for the fallen traditional soccer club schalke 04.

"We are obliged to have ambitions. Schalke belongs in the bundesliga, and that’s where we want to go back," the 54-year-old said on wednesday at his presentation as the new board member for sports and communications. Words that will also benefit the 150.000 royal blue members would have liked to have heard. Next to knabel, jens buchta, under whose chairmanship the supervisory board voted unanimously in favor of knabel after a month of partly chaotic searching, sat with a satisfied expression.

Speeders should be slowed down

Speeders should be slowed down

There was a lot of talk without a final result at the youngest meeting of the city council weismain. After the agreement on the costs of the youth center pins in altenkunstadt expired in 2017, the opinions about the further use due to very high financial contribution of the city of weismain are a complex issue.

Costs were discussed

In the resolution presented, it was planned that the city of weismain would only participate to a limited extent in terms of costs, which is why the city was responsible for 16 percent of the costs. In comparison, 23 percent for burgkunstadt and 61 percent for altenkunstadt. Until now, the three municipalities of altenkunstadt, burgkunstadt and weismain had each paid one third of the costs incurred. To cap had been provided per municipality at the beginning of 2016 10000 euro. Last year this could not be maintained and 11 238 euros were incurred. Janine brunecker (GUB/) was disappointed that not nearly as much was invested in the youth sector in weismain. Also, the attendance figures of the weismain youths are in a blatant disproportion to the use of the burgkunstadter and altekunstadter.
She spoke out in favor of contacting the other municipalities and the red cross as the sponsor and discussing how to continue. A problem is certainly also that the young people in weismain and on the jura are not so mobile to come to altenkunstadt. This was contradicted by hans popp (CSU). If young people want to get somewhere, they will get there. There is probably not enough interest from the young people of weismain. Michael muller (CSU) went one step further. He was of the opinion that it would be better to put the money into weismain clubs and demanded the termination of the participation in the youth club pins. Julia sporlein (CSU) suggested that the weismain playgrounds, which are supported by clubs, should then also be better financed. Jasmin schardt (die grunen) explained that one could not compare the two and saw the youth center pins itself as responsible for the mobilization of young people in weismain. With the reference that one hopes for further realizations in discussions with the neighboring communities, the point was postponed unanimously to one of the next meetings.

Jeff saibene, the coach of the third-division FC ingolstadt 04 team with swiss and luxembourg citizenship, looked a bit uncertain at the moderator during the press conference when he mentioned the competition for tuesday’s game in burgwallbach – and yet he was right when he carefully repeated the four syllables of "toto-pokal" had said. It’s only his second coaching stint in germany and his first at bayern. Here’s the draw, mr. Saibene: the toto cup is the association cup of the bavarian fubball association, played by 64 teams in the k.-o.-system is played as a qualifier for the first main round in the DFB cup. So you have to win six times in a row, then you can hope for FC bayern munchen or borussia dortmund as opponents. Defending champions are FC wurzburger kickers, who lost 3-0 at schanzer last weekend.
