The next shopping market closes its doors

The food market close& good in volkach closes its doors. As was announced at the city council meeting on monday evening, the lights are going out at the successor store to the former delta (both edeka) due to inefficiency. The food market near& good in the dr.-eugen-schon-strabe 11 a is already the second supermarket within shortest time, which gives up its business operation. The retail company tegut is closing its supermarket in industriestrabe at the end of this month. After the opening of the new "volkacher mainschleife" shopping park the smaller grocery stores in the wine city are thus slowly but surely coming to the end of their rope.
In 2007, edeka had promised the city in writing that it would rebuild the former delta supermarket in dr.-eugen-schon-strabe at least with a reduced sales area for the basic range of groceries as nah& well continue to operate. The delta-markt and the comet-markt in the industriestrabe (both edeka) were dissolved and merged into the gross edeka-supermarket in the new shopping park. With nah& a smaller supermarket close to the old town, which was supposed to supply the population in the immediate vicinity with basic foodstuffs, remained in good condition. According to edeka and the kolb operating family, the actual acceptance by the population is now so low that the economic basis has long since ceased to exist. Edeka and kolb therefore asked the city of volkach to release them from the operator commitment made in 2007.
Mayor peter kornell (G) recalled that the former delta market was the "mercedes of our supermarkets" was. After its move to the shopping park, the question arose as to what should happen to the empty building. "The supply of local amenities, especially for the elderly, was an important topic, according to the head of the city. The promise by edeka to maintain this local supply in the area close to the city with a basic range of foodstuffs solved the problem for the time being.
In recent years, it has now become clear that customer frequency is too low. Kornell suggested that the edeka proposal be approved, because "no one can live by adding to it," he said. The mayor recalled his own experiences with loss-making municipal facilities such as the operation of the indoor and outdoor swimming pools.
Controversy arose in the council over the background to the closure of the nah& good and the question of guilt discussed. Holger scheidig (local spokesman for gaibach) saw it as the duty of the citizens, who were responsible for the development through their purchasing behavior. The behavior of edeka is quite understandable. Heiko bauerlein (CSU) also had a heart for the edeka proposal. The nah& in his opinion, gut has a "stepmotherly existence" guided. If the edeka company cannot operate profitably there, it can no longer be expected to run the store for much longer. "Better to stay than to let it go to waste", peter haupt (G) spoke clearly. Fresh meat and cheese have not been on offer at nah& for a long time well, he gave his experiences from the youngest time.
That the blame should not be placed solely on the shoulders of the customers, emphasized 3. Burgermeister gunter nicola (SPD). "The operator can also control this with his prices", he said. Nicola pointed out that some basic foodstuffs were up to 50 cents more expensive than in the new edeka supermarket in the shopping park. "Only with a bellyache" ingrid dusolt (burgerliste) wanted to agree to edeka's request to be released from the operator's commitment. "Apart from the most important basic foodstuffs, there was also a large selection of foodstuffs in the nah& well at the end anyway nothing more", dusolt knew.

Cab drivers want cameras for more safety

Cab drivers want cameras for more safety

"We are in contact with some companies and are waiting for an offer", said the second chairman of the cab association frankfurt, kudilay cugali, to dpa. He expects costs of 700 to 900 euros per device. "We need the four-eyes principle – on the outside as well as on the inside."But the pictures had to be pixelated and the sound distorted because of data protection. "The best thing then is for the public prosecutor to get to it."

Data protection experts don’t think it’s unrealistic. "There are various ways of solving this in terms of data protection," said alfons schranz, traffic officer at the hessian data protection commissioner’s office, in wiesbaden about the plans. In addition to a quick deletion of the data, this also meant that the passengers were precisely informed. The cab drivers first had to present what exactly they wanted to do.

50 Years of active service: gross badge of honor for dieter baier

50 years of active service: gross badge of honor for dieter baier

Bavaria’s minister of the interior joachim herrmann awarded the new gross badge of honor for 50 years of active service in the fire department and other aid organizations to 29 volunteer firefighters for the first time. Including dieter baier from the falkendorf fire department, a volunteer from the county.

At the ceremony, herrmann thanked the honorees for their service: "for half a century, they have been an integral part of our emergency response system, contributing their skills and experience to the community. They help their fellow human beings in need and are thus a shining example of solidarity", the minister said approvingly. As the minister of the interior explained, the "gross badge of honor" will be awarded in addition to the already existing honorary awards for 25 years (silver) and 40 years of service (gold). It is not only a state honor, but also a visible sign of great commitment to the outside world.

Full board for horse and cow

Full board for horse and cow

The cow is visibly happy. She is lying there in the shade – completely relaxed – and dozing away. "We have a resting area for our animals here, where they like to retreat", says farmer hans-georg warmuth. Almost like in a hotel. "And even with full board."
Because the calves, cows and horses on the farm of the warmuths also get food of course. But first the hay must be harvested. This always happens in the middle of june – at least when the weather plays along. "We are very dependent on the weather", says district farmer marion warmuth "if it doesn't rain in the spring, the grass grows poorly. If it is not sunny in summer, the hay does not dry out. And if it rains constantly in the summer, the hay becomes damp and mouldy." So some things have to fit.
A farmer needs three sunny days in a row if he wants to harvest his hay. First the grass is cut, then spread on the meadow – so that it dries faster. It remains there for the next two days. Once or twice a day the farmer comes and turns the hay.
"The time of harvesting is very important, because depending on it the ingredients of the hay change", explains warmuth. While young grass is very high in protein, old grass contains more fiber and is therefore easier to digest.
Sometimes, however, nature conservation dictates the time of harvesting. There are, for example, grassland breeders such as the lapwing, which are literally dependent on the meadow. "We will of course take this into consideration. Such meadows are mowed only later", says warmuth.
In this context, the district farmer also points out that meadows are not free areas where everyone is allowed to let off steam with their dog. "Fields and meadows are private property – many people are not aware of this", says marion warmuth. Dog excrement often remains on the fields and thus gets into the feed of the animals. "This is harmful and can lead to diseases." Since the dog is a carnivore, it excretes certain parasites that the herbivore's defenses can't handle. Farmers also often have problems with unseasonal hay. "People walk on the field paths and simply throw their mull onto the meadow. That's not possible", says warmuth.

The world as poetic utopia

the world as poetic utopia

Udo langer’s fairy tale and musical rewards continue after some very successful productions with the origin story of "jules verne’s adventure" into a new round. A foretaste of what awaits the audience this fall was on display this weekend in the "menu&" series marchen" in baiersdorf.

Jules verne’s visionary abilities have made many things that seemed to belong to the realm of utopia and fantasy more than 100 years ago become reality in one way or another. Then as now, the world was at the dawn of a new age. At that time, it was the beginning of industrialization and an unbelievable belief in progress. Today, jules verne’s ingenious achievements such as steamers, snorting railroads and telegraphs are long outdated. Today we are at the beginning of industrialization 4.0. Jules verne was an extremely prolific writer during his lifetime, with 60 books published.

Eu court breaks the power of the world seed companies

Eu court breaks the power of the world seed companies

The judges upheld current EU rules that allow farmers to continue to grow old varieties of vegetables and potatoes even if industrial producers no longer offer them.

The effects of the ruling are controversial: according to the environmental association BUND, the agricultural industry’s monopoly on seeds has been "thwarted. The federal ministry of consumer affairs also saw the ruling as a step towards preserving the diversity of varieties. Critics, on the other hand, complain that these are only individual traps with no broad effect and that the marketing bans remain largely in place. Old varieties continue to disappear, the campaign for seed sovereignty complains.

Parties distance themselves from alternative for germany

parties distance themselves from alternative for germany

Fears are palpable in the government camp that the new party could cost black-yellow its victory in the federal election. Government spokesman steffen seibert said that the euro had secured income and employment for millions of people in germany. "Whoever jeopardizes that, jeopardizes prosperity, jobs and social security."

The afd had founded itself as a party on sunday. In her election platform, she calls for an "orderly dissolution of the euro zone". Grunen chairwoman claudia roth told rbb radio: "out of the euro, back to the deutschmark – this nostalgia for the nation state is damaging above all to germany, it is damaging above all to german interests."In the federal election, the alternative will mainly take votes away from the coalition parties, where there is already a lot of criticism of the euro.

The crash of the airfield plan for neida

The crash of the airfield plan for neida

No – thomas schreiner does not act like a rough winner in view of the approaching end for the plan to build an airfield at neida. The farmer, one of the main stakeholders of the air traffic project, is after the announcement of the possible combined solution (coburg/bamberg) and the continuation of air traffic on the brandenstein plane somewhere in the finding stage: "I can not believe everything yet so quite."

But the schreiners are also burnt children, as far as the fight against the traffic landing field is concerned. Two years ago, the farmer remembers, he thought "the thing was through": back then, in 2015, the northern bavarian air office publicly signaled to the project company that it would be better to withdraw its application for the zoning procedure. But because nothing happened then, the schreiners kept the champagne in the fridge for the time being on the monday after the planning realignment became known. "But of course we have talked about it a lot in the family circle", tells thomas schreiner.
