Archbishop schick wants to 'strengthen trust in the family'

In his sermon at the turn of the year, bamberg’s archbishop ludwig schick placed the family at the center of his message. "In our society, the family does not have the status it should have", he said on new year’s eve in the bamberger cathedral.

He called on politicians to take better account of families in taxation and pension entitlements. More consideration must also be given to families in labor law. In the basic law, the family is placed under the special protection of the state because of its unique importance for society.

Five manner uben “survive” in the leitsch

Five manner uben

What makes five seasoned men live in and from nature for four weeks, renouncing all the comforts of civilization?? There are no dropouts. It's more a matter of men breaking out of their everyday lives and surviving independently of society, so to speak.

Of course, they are not alone in this endeavor. Tobias kruger, a trained experiential padagogue – a "wilderness teacher", as he says himself -, accompanied and led the group. "On the one hand it is an adventure, but on the other hand it is also a piece of self-knowledge and self-experience", kruger explains. It's not like you go to a campsite with camping equipment, food and maybe a radio, where you can find everything else you need.

The two new players are old friends

The two new players are old friends

Fans can now look forward to seeing two new faces in the bavarian league handball team of turnerschaft herzogenaurach. That is, both sarah stephan and luisa frank are not entirely new, but rather two new old ones: 20-year-old stephan comes from the TSH's handball youth team, where she was a competitive player until 2009. When her team split up, she moved to hc erlangen, where she was not only able to develop in all sporting aspects, but was also quite successful with the B-youth on the state level and two years later became bavarian champion with the A-youth in spring 2012.

Technically very well trained
The following games in the german championship finals belonged to her as well as to her then and now again current teammate tanja kuffner the most impressive sporting highlights to date. Whereas left-hander kuffner immediately joined TSH after moving to the senior section in the summer of 2012, her counterpart on the left wing initially followed some other players who switched to haspo bayreuth. But this path has now become too tiring for her and so the left-footed girl is looking for a new challenge this year with her original club.

Family is the center of their lives

Family is the center of their lives

The occasion for a rude family reunion was the 100. Jakobina doring’s birthday at memmelsdorf’s "seehofblick" retirement home, where their two children met with the two grandchildren and great-grandchildren to a happy celebration. District administrator johann kalb and mayor gerd schneider also offered their congratulations.
The jubilarian lived independently in the assisted living area of the facility until two years ago. Since her son otto and daughter theresia live abroad, the old lady regularly flew to spain for many years to visit her daughter there, and at the age of 80 she still took a computer course so that she could skype with her children and grandchildren. She still has a particularly close relationship with her granddaughter ivonne, who came from ansbach with her great-grandchildren emilio (1 year old) and lilly (3 years old).
Jakobina doring was born in bamberg as the youngest of four siblings and still goes by the nickname "bee". After her marriage in 1949 to the merchant valentin doring, whom she lovingly cared for until his death in 1998, the young family lived in bamberg in der langen strabe. Jakobina doring worked as a telephone operator for the post office when she was young and later as an interpreter for the americans because of her good language skills. To this day, she loves the english language, and was able to get her family through the difficult times of war thanks to her good relationships with high-ranking military officers. "Mom was always a grande dame, remembers her daughter theresia. "She dressed elegantly and wore hats, elaborate hairstyles and makeup." In addition to being articulate, jakobina doring was also very musical and didn’t mind learning to play the guitar at the age of 70. In 2001, she was one of the first tenants to move into the "assisted living" facility at the seehofblick retirement home, because independence has always been important to her. Keb

Lupertz sculpture “athena” remains missing

Lupertz sculpture 'athena' remains missing

Police continue search for stolen bronze figure of artist markus lupertz. So far there are no new findings, a police spokeswoman said in dusseldorf on sunday. The sculpture "athena" was stolen last week from an art foundry in dusseldorf.

It is unclear whether the perpetrators were only interested in the bronze or whether they were after the work of art. "Both are possible," said police spokeswoman. The value of the bronze is therefore a few thousand euros. The work of art, of which there are several versions, is estimated by lupertz at several hundred thousand euros.
