What happens at the film ball, stays at the film ball": according to this motto, numerous stars will once again celebrate the start of the new film year in munich on saturday evening.

The mood at the nobelhotel bayerischer hof is exuberant, the celebrities are in good spirits – including film greats like director roland emmerich, katja riemann and jan josef liefers.

The glamorous ball, which is one of the most important events of the german film year, is opened by bavaria’s minister president markus soder (CSU) and his wife karin. "The hardest part of the evening is not a pit word, but doing the first dance" says soder while still on the red carpet. But the slow waltz goes successfully over the stage.

Excitement reigns for a brief moment before the ceremonial opening in the hall, as half a dozen firefighters step onto the red carpet. But the all-clear soon comes, a false alarm. The 1,000 or so guests expected by the film industry’s top organization were not fazed for long.

The film ball differs from other events in that it goes "straight to feasting and celebrating and having a good time" without a lot of talking, says actress heike makatsch. "Sometimes this has already led to really, really funny evenings."

Also this year? Although the box office rang less in 2018, the champagne glasses clinked on saturday evening. 1200 bottles ready for the film stars. Actress jella haase ("fack ju gohte") won’t say if she will party until the wee hours of the morning. "I always have the opposite in mind, but it usually happens," says the 26-year-old, "we’ll see what the evening brings.

At the last film ball haase loved to fill her stockelschuh with champagne – a kind of revival of the legendary evening decades ago, when bernd eichinger drank the champagne out of hannelore elsner’s shoe. This will not happen this year.

Out of reunion joy, for a lot of selfies and to celebrate, the celebrities lie in each other’s arms this evening. There is a lot of dancing, both on the dance floor and between the rows of tables. But the party doesn’t quite match last year’s. Uschi glas isn’t worried about the party mood of her colleagues, though: the parties in her day weren’t necessarily any better. The young people are "letting it rip, so I’m not worried about that," says the 74-year-old.

In terms of dress, there is no clear trend among the film stars – sometimes it glitters, sometimes flowers entwine themselves over the long fabric. Actresses lisa martinek and alexandra maria lara come in a very similar dress from the same designer – one sticks it out more, the other less. The presenter nina eichinger attracts many looks with a deep cleavage.

Likewise the actor lars eidinger, who shows up with bright red fingernails in a glittery jacket. "I just like it, i like it," says the 43-year-old about the nail look. Later in the day, he still acts as a DJ for his colleagues and chats from the closet: "in the morning, when you go to breakfast, you see women in evening dresses changing rooms and going back to their real rooms – I like that," he says about years gone by. This was a bit like the motto "what happens in the bayerische hof, stays in the bayerische hof".

The district of elbe-elster (brandenburg) is currently the most favorable for builders to obtain building land, with an average price of 10 euros per square meter. The national average is 131 euros (previous year: 119 euros). Tendency to increase. However, not in our case: here the price dropped recently.

Rough price differences

But it can also be a bit more expensive: in the statistics, building land is once again converted into "land ready for building", "raw building land" and "other building land, which is used, for example, as open space, subdivided. The subgroups "land ready for building" and, is the most expensive form, because it means that the excavator can roll immediately, because the necessary development is available. Raw building land is much more favorable, because it is land that will be developed in the near future. This is why the two average values given by the statisticians for the kulmbach district differ: in 2017, building land cost an average of around 23 euros (previous year: 41 euros), while land ready for building even came to around 52 euros (previous year: 52 euros).

These average prices are calculated on the basis of actual real estate transactions and are therefore not values determined by appraisal committees. The calculation is based on the data that are reported to the tax office for calculating the land transfer tax. That knows with it the real sales values on euro and cent. These sales values are further reported for recording in the kauerte statistics.

So we know that exactly 19828 ready-to-build plots were sold in bavaria in 2017. In addition, there were 3729 sales traps with land for construction.

164 building plots sold

The kulmbach district has played its part: a total of 164 building plots were sold here, including 113 ready-to-build plots. This resulted in a turnover of 5.74 million euros (previous year: 6.80 million euros) for land transactions with plots that are ready for construction or development. In 2017, other types of building land sold accounted for 51 transactions with a sales volume of 3.98 million euros. In the federal government, sales of building land amounted to a total of 16.69 billion euros.

Investing in land

One question remains, but the statistics do not provide the answer due to the lack of data collection. What does the buyer do with the building land?? Building or landbanking? Land banking means betting on increasing land prices instead of carrying the money to the bank at low interest rates. With the current demand a sure thing. Particularly when the warning of the "flatfrab" the designation of building areas inhibits. High prices then ensure above all small gardens – and thus also at best small ecological niches for plants and animals. It's a tight squeeze for bee-friendly flowers, for example, and the children play on the street.

The diaconal association of maroldsweisach, as the developer of the therese stahlin house in the zeilbergsiedlung, is facing a rough tree removal. The social center with short-term and day care is to be expanded.
Chairman pastor wolfgang scheidel informed at the annual meeting in the office of the diaconal work, which is the operator, that the plans for the expansion have been approved by the home supervisory authority. Costs are expected to be 300.000 euros.

The chairman made it clear that without a secure funding the project will not be started. The diaconia association hopes for subsidies from the municipality of allianz-hofheimer-land and from the pots of the german relief organization. Scheidel spoke of a "peculiar state of affairs", sitting in the starting blocks with bated breath. But we could not get by without medium-term planning.

Pastor helmut kastner said that as a diaconal association, one not only has to manage real estate, but must also concentrate on the essential, the diaconal work. Pastor scheidel saw this as a justified objection.

Without the diaconal association, he noted, there would be no social station. Everything is a balancing act between economic efficiency and diaconal work. The diaconia association has around 300 members with a declining trend.

Tasks shifted
With the founding of the diaconal work habberge, the diaconal association was relieved of a lot of work, but today it is more or less reduced to property management, regular visits to the therese-stahlin house and beating the advertising drum, which is not satisfactory, he said.

That's why diaconal work should be put back in the spotlight, scheidel found.
With just under 160.000 euros, the budget last year was about the same as in 2012 and about 27.000 euros higher than in 2011. Scheidel was pleased that the association is now in the black by reducing debt. Many donors had contributed to this.

The 26-year-old herzogenaurach city councilor and district chairman of the young union of central franconia was elected to 11th place on the CSU europalist at the delegates’ meeting in munich on saturday. As the top candidate of the CSU in central franconia and together with the agricultural representative and member of the bundestag from lauf, marlene mortler, korner is to lead the CSU in central franconia into the european election campaign.

Korner tells the FT: "it’s true that many in the CSU have understood the need for renewal. As one of the youngest candidates, to come straight into the top block, and then to be given a super vote, is a vote of confidence that really makes me happy!"

Trend-setting

The delegates voted with 86.7 percent in favor of korner, who thus received one of the best results of all the new candidates. The european elections, which took place in germany on 26. According to korner, the games that will take place on may 1, 2019, will be a decision for the future. For his generation, a united europe is a matter of course, but everyone must now take responsibility to ensure that it remains so. Korner: "we will not be able to shape europe with either left-wing fantasists or narrow-minded right-wing extremists."

With manfred weber at the helm of the european people’s party, we now have the chance to bring a bavarian to the helm of the eu commission who can also explain european issues to the people, says the young man from herzogenaurach. Kerner’s chances of entering the european parliament at the first attempt are nevertheless slim. The CSU had to win 77 percent in bavaria", he said in response to a question from the FT.

"The basic finding is: the main wind systems and with them the high and low pressure areas tend to shift towards the poles," said schreiber. The consequences: especially in the winter months, low-pressure areas rich in rain from the west will bring dangerous heavy rains more often in the future. "This must interest flood protection above all," said schreiber.

In summer, on the other hand, humid weather conditions become rarer overall. Dry high-pressure systems over the north sea are forecast to remain stable: "this will lead to more drought and a trend toward more drought, low water and risks in water management."Agriculture in particular, but also energy suppliers and waterworks, are affected.

These findings on climate change needed to be incorporated into development plans and laws much more than they have been so far, the experts demanded. "So far, however, the business community has been less receptive to these findings than desired," said DWD vice president paul becker. There is no longer any doubt that climate change is primarily man-made. "Natural influences such as solar activity play a subordinate role".

The long-term rise in temperatures, which has been unbroken for decades, is also confirmed by the figures for 2011: with an average of 9.6 degrees, it was the fourth warmest year since records began in germany in 1881. Of the past 30 years, 24 turned out to be too warm. The sunniest and second-warmest spring since records began and a rainy, comparatively cool summer were followed by an unusually warm, sunny fall. November was even the driest month ever observed in this country.

Even the first four months of 2012 are already almost one degree above the long-term average. "Climate change has not changed direction," concludes DWD climate analyst gerhard muller-westermeier.
