richard wagner was born 200 years ago

Probably Somewhere there is a wagnerian who neatly records all anniversary activities. He or she will have a lot to do with it, because what goes on in this country day after day is only the tip of the iceberg. Wagner lovers exist on all continents, perhaps even in the endless expanses of the cosmos – and they usually have something that also characterized the originator of their passion: a sense of mission.

That alone distinguishes richard wagner, who will be speaking on 22. May 1813 in leipzig into a large family with an affinity for the theater and was born as a world-famous artist on the 13th of may. February 1883 in a venetian palazzo, by others. He was far from being the only one who wrote the librettos of his operas himself, nor was he the only one who also wrote extensive theoretical writings. But he is still the only composer who has managed to build a theater in which only his works are performed – and this for 137 years now.

City seeks space for business

A new commercial area will probably be built in the aschbach district of schlusselfeld. The land to the west of the frankenstolz company is in the spotlight. As a first step, the city wants to have the site assessed for its suitability by an engineering firm.

The loser was probably a letter from the aschbach-based construction company seeger, which was on the table for the council members at the meeting. The company, which has around 40 employees and is located in the waldstrabe area of aschbach, is looking for suitable storage space and halls to expand. Apparently, the company is already in talks with owners and now sees the possibility of acquiring land.

District of forchheim: here you can marvel at the old craft of saddlers

district of forchheim: here you can marvel at the old craft of saddlers

A kummet is at best still known as a decoration on the garden house. The collar is a harness around the neck of the horse to be able to pull the wagon or work equipment. For saddlers, it was often the main occupation to make these – not saddle, as the job title suggests. "No one rode them. The horses were used as workhorses", tells reinhold geldner, chairman of the french-swiss association (FSV) hiltpoltstein. The comb is one of the treasures from the years after 1871, which can be found in the gatehouse in hiltpoltstein. The room in which the club members housed this treasure was the living room of. The saddler worked and tinkered in the annex of the gate. Downstairs was the stable, upstairs the workshop. However, it was only one of the saddleries in the village.

Very well equipped

"He had all the tools, he was a very well equipped saddler", female geldner. We are talking about johann friedrich bruckner and then his son johann wilhelm bruckner, who were known as "torsattler" were known and whose descendants have left the treasure from the past time as a loan to the association. For the club members it is not easy to accommodate this in the small living room, there is still so much available. There is a leather machine, a strong sewing machine, with which leather could be sewn. Also shoes, with which kummets were decorated, are still present. "Even a seaweed plucking machine is still there", explains geldner. It loosened the seaweed, which was used to upholster the upholstered furniture, and also horsehair. This and springs were still in the saddlery. For reasons of space, the wooden board on which the leather was cut is still stored in the attic.

Plans for new airfield near coburg are finally off the table

Plans for new airfield near coburg are finally off the table

The announcement comes as no surprise, but opponents of a new airfield near meeder in particular had been eagerly awaiting it to be finally certain: the northern bavaria air office has issued its decision and suspended the planning approval process for the new construction of the coburg commercial airfield.

"Now we can finally rejoice with all our hearts, the new building is off the table", on wednesday, richard mergner, regional chairman of the nature conservation alliance, commented on the announcement. Further explained mergner: now finally can be cheered from the bottom of the heart. The end of the new building was already in sight for a long time, but we have already celebrated – not least in this dispute – and then had to realize that with dodges and tricks the old planning was resurrected. But with the suspension of proceedings we now have it officially and now it is also irreversible. The new building is off the table, a hundred hectares of agricultural land have been saved, the citizens of wiesenfeld and neida will continue to be safe from air raids, the callenberg forest will not be cleared, the hugelkette will not be leveled, red kite, black stork and cassowary will retain their breeding and feeding areas

Now the grooves in barnfels are supposed to fix it again

Now the grooves in barnfels are supposed to fix it again

At the most recent meeting of the obertrubach municipal council, the proposal to establish a play area in the barnfelser burgstrabe was discussed in detail. A written application was submitted, which five residents had signed. Up to now, there have been six very pronounced cross gutters built into the road, which were to be removed in the course of reconstruction work. Three are already gone.

With this, residents feared, traffic could speed up unacceptably. According to the municipality, however, the redesignation as a playground requires that the recreational character of the area prevails. This could happen, for example, with plant drugs. These had to be arranged so that motorists on the road could not travel faster than walking speed.

25 Years of service for those with a thirst for education

25 years of service for those with a thirst for education

Chairwoman angela hofmann praised lily zimmermann, who as a contact person on site brought the very important educational offers of the VHS closer to the interested people. For this honorary commitment she owes her thanks. She has contributed to the fact that the VHS, with 15 offices in the district of kronach, is very well positioned and can offer a good, broadly diversified educational program.
Lily zimmermann said of her service as a room leader that she had enjoyed it very much. Through gerlinde lenz she had come to the VHS and had taken over the position of market roof. "I have not only organized courses and created them for interested people, but I have also taken on new course leaders who have enthusiastically held their courses." This is how she remembers heidi beyerle, who still holds autogenic training classes today. Or since 1989, christel hofmann has been offering courses in creative subjects, such as lace-making or patchwork, which have attracted participants even from other federal states. "The introduction of courses in spinal gymnastics by evelyn draheim as well as courses in autogenic training, quigong and relaxation stress management by the couple elke and gottfried strohlein show the variety of offers and i am grateful for the expert lecturers we have been able to attract. In this area, a lot is done through personal contacts. The job as head of the office has been very enjoyable and I have met a lot of nice people", she says with a smile and adds: "i will remain loyal to the VHS and continue to work on integration courses for migrants. To my successor as head of the office in marktrodach, tanja hammer, I extend my best wishes." And lily zimmermann can recommend the courses of the VHS to everyone: "you learn a lot and the advantage is that you can pick and choose what you would like to do or learn, what you think you are suited to or have an inclination and preference for."

Artistic couple kuhfuss exhibits

Artistic couple kuhfuss exhibits

The two artists use the exhibition spaces of the monastery in different ways, depending on their intentions and design intentions. Although you can now look back on several decades of artistic work, the exhibition is not a retrospective in the true sense of the word.

The title of the exhibition stands as a shorthand for"…It is done" – it is, among other things, a quote after martin luthers"…Finitum est". In addition, it was originally also the statement of the wine tasters of the roman pope on the journey from florence to rome to the question of whether an overnight stay was "good" – the wine was good!
