Residents demand: “be diligent, drive three times as fast as possible!”

Residents demand: 'be diligent, drive three times as fast as possible!'

A dozen or so neighbors gathered on tuesday morning in the okosiedlung at cherbonhof. They are united by the desire for more safety in nearby caspersmeyerstrasse, where the speed limit is actually 30 km/h. "I have been overtaken here while driving exactly the speed limit", inge buhl complains. And friederike neundorfer describes dicey situations when her children want to cross the street: "when someone arrives at 60, they can no longer make it across the street and have to stop in the middle." Hiltrud huhn and her 80-year-old husband feel the same way.

Residents paint posters

They all want to take part in an action day in caspersmeyerstrabe, which is to take place on the initiative of ralf neundorfer on saturday from 10 a.M. Onwards. "We will stand at the edge of the road with posters that read, for example: "be diligent, drive three times as fast as possible."

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.

10.1 Million people in companies are on short-time work

10.1 million people in companies are on short-time work

The federal employment agency is sitting on a gigantic pile of money: 26 billion euros is the reserve that the agency in nurnberg has accumulated over the past few years.

And even this thick financial cushion will probably not be enough to combat the consequences of the corona crisis on the german labor market. What the chairman of the federal employment agency, detlef scheele, had to announce makes the impact of the crisis on the economy abundantly clear. Unemployment is on the rise, short-time allowances are rising exponentially to "unimaginable levels," and the number of new jobs is plummeting – scheele summarized the negative figures right at the beginning.

Eu agrees on austerity pact – trouble for greece

Eu agrees on austerity pact - trouble for greece

Chancellor angela merkel (CDU) was thus able to push through her most important demands. She was heavily criticized for the demand from germany for a "savings commissioner" for greece, but only gave in in her choice of words.

In their intergovernmental fiscal compact, the 25 countries pledge to save money and introduce a debt brake based on the german model. States accept tougher EU budget controls and tougher penalties against defaulters.

The earth house in glashutten is more effective than a passive house

The earth house in glashutten is more effective than a passive house

The driver of the low-loader was puzzled: he was supposed to deliver ten curved precast concrete parts, each one a meter and a half wide and weighing 16 tons. Right here, on the edge of glashutten, a little village of 1400 souls in the district of bayreuth. But where was the corresponding bridge construction site for this?? Werner leykam was able to enlighten the helpless searcher: he was spot on with his freight, but the carriers were destined for a residential building. What do you mean? Ten concrete giants for a family home?

Of course not for just any house. At this object, which stands like a mirage behind the abandoned restaurant "zum hirschen from the boschung rises, many things are unusual. It not only exceeds some building standards (and thus official requirements), but was also allowed to be unique in france.
