After the completely unexpected start of the wall construction on the 13. August 1961 – over 60 years ago – human tragedies occurred again and again at the "iron curtain" at the hands of the GDR rulers . The west was caught completely off guard with the total lockdown. The order to seal off the so-called zone border was given by GDR state council chairman walter ulbricht with the backing of moscow.

German fundamentalism

The policy of destruction with a german foundation was merciless. Many of the people living along the former zonal border, who had already been brutally evicted from their homes or had fled to the west, saw their homes demolished by GDR work crews under the supervision of the vopos (GDR people's police officers). Families and friends were ruthlessly separated.

The extermination actions began at that time in the area of mostholz/rotheul/ burggrub . The buildings opposite the geiger inn were the first to be razed to the ground. Eleven dwellings (individual farmsteads) were razed to the ground by the GDR as a so-called security risk, noted burggrub's local historian willi bischof. The reason: they were too close to the border with bavaria. The inhabitants were resettled inland.

Blow after blow

And then in 1961 the dismantling went on step by step. In the same year, the popular forest inn "bernhard", located on the zonal border near stockheim, became a victim of the GDR's willfulness. This is what happened to other buildings along the border to tettau in 1962 and 1963.

In the period that followed, the "iron curtain" developed into an almost insurmountable "bulwark against fascism" (GDR jargon). Nevertheless, there were numerous escape attempts with fatal results.

With the unexpected fall of the berlin wall on 9 september. November 1989 the german-german drama ended. One year later, the germans celebrated reunification .

Visible sign

For a long time, too long, the "death strip" had been the order of the day. That is why a visible sign of joy was created in burggrub in particular. In 1992, around 2000 christians from bavaria and thuringia celebrated the consecration of the border and peace chapel on the former border between burggrub and neuhaus-schierschnitz as part of the deanery church day. The building is a place of reminder and remembrance of terrible times, as the burggrub chapel association explains.

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.

To pay peas again: for decades it has been said that, apart from jesus and napoleon, no one has been written about more than wagner. For the anniversary year alone, almost a hundred new publications are planned, and even his primary literature (without scores) is record-breaking: wagner's complete writings will fill some 5400 pages in the latest chronological edition from axel dielmann verlag; the edition of his letters, begun in 1979, has currently reached volume 20 and, according to breitkopf& hartel expected to include 34 bands.

How could the man, the texting posterity asks in bewilderment, compose musical dramas that are milestones in the history of music and have moved many people ever since?? How could he be so anarchistic and anmabend, persistent, chaotic, charismatic, diatat error and dark, lonely, vain, adulterous, fiery, fragile, fursome, ingenious, greedy, coarse, heart-smart, heartbreaking, hypocritical, sky-high jubilant, humorous, self-centered, idea-spouting, hostile to jews, cosmopolitan, critical, small-minded, liberal, love-serving, monomaniacal, multi-media, resentful, nationalistic, envious, obstinate, fussy, mercurial, vindictive, racist, revolutionary and reactionary, silky-flattering, sensual, animal-loving, faithful, disloyal, unworthy of attention, appropriative and profligate, deliriously peaceful, rageful, tender-hearted, and drunk to death?

It is known why the saxon, who never denied his dialect, but who was quite eloquent in several languages, ended up in bavaria. King ludwig II. Love him, as soon as he came to the throne at the age of 18, bring him to munich. Wagner, who had already begun to spend more money than he had when he was still a penny, was on the run again – from his creditors and the culpably. After all, at that time he was no longer a revolutionary wanted by the police.

Convinced of himself and his mission, he could not refrain from interfering politically and continuing to lie to the royal benefactor about his affair with the conductor's wife cosima von bulow.
After nineteen months, wagner's time in munich ended with his expulsion. The king nevertheless remained loyal and generous to him, paying from his private purse the rent in tribschen, switzerland, the new construction of the villa wahnfried in bayreuth, various italian vacations of the wagnerian patchwork family and giving the necessary credit so that the festspielhaus could be completed.

After wagner's death, bayreuth not only became a synonym for wagner with the festivals that prevailed under his widow cosima, but – steered from wahnfried, where among others the widely read, anti-semitic and racist author houston stewart chamberlain married in – increasingly became a pilgrimage site for folk-nationalist circles. And soon the wagnerian adolf hitler was to make his mark: the dictator and mass murderer became a friend of the family, helping to ensure that after the death of cosima and her son siegfried in 1930, his widow winifred was able to further consolidate the festival, certainly also in artistic terms.

That winifred had been a member of the foundation after the national socialist "heyday" bayreuths and a certain period of shame to hand over the brown-tainted festival to her sons wieland and wolfgang wagner, thus ignoring the testamentary rights of her daughters friedelind and verena, is to a certain extent part of the family tradition. In order to secure the succession of the then still unmarried homosexual son siegfried, the family denied wagner's paternity to his daughter isolde, who was his first illegitimate child with cosima and had already given birth to a progenitor, in a sensational trial as early as 1913.

The soap opera about the royals of bayreuth continues to this day. Rumors also surround the succession of record-breaking festival director wolfgang wagner, who initiated the transition from the family business to the stiftungsgmbh and – again for dynastic reasons – remained head of the grunen hugel until old age. It is possible that the shrewd wagner grandson, who insisted on a lifelong rental contract, only resigned in 2008 because he could be sure that the foundation council would elect his daughters eva and katharina as intendants.

Rumort richard wagner at the moment not only because of the construction site in his grave in the wahnfried garden?
Whether one can separate wagner's seemingly contradictory multiple personalities from his undoubtedly highly significant music and dramatic works and the acoustically ingenious theater in bayreuth is a question that everyone who seriously studies him must decide for themselves. Wagner and his work – that is his fascination, but also a puzzle – are suitable for almost every world view and appropriation. And through his music, he will continue to give people who want it the illusion that, at least for a time, like his isolde, they may unconsciously drown and sink in the highest pleasure "in the surging torrent, in the toning sound, in the world-atmospher's wafting all".

Crossmedia project: wagnerwahn in three parts

"I didn't believe they would make it", said wilhelm I., the german emperor, on his arrival on 12. August 1876 in bayreuth to richard wagner. "And now the sun shines on her work." two days later, in a walkure-pause, the emperor loves the master to call him once again to honor him and his just opened festival.

Italian illustrator flavia scuderi has captured the scene with prominent festival-goers – including other crowned heads, artists and wagnerians such as franz liszt, friedrich nietzsche, peter tschaikowsky and anton bruckner (pictured above) – for a graphic novel to be published by knesebeck verlag in june (ca. 48 pages, 19,95 euro).

The wagner comic is part of an unusual cross-media project by renowned production partners, which is being launched today to mark wagner's 200th birthday. Birthday under the title "wagnerwahn is presented several times: first, as a TV film by ralf pleger worth seeing, with fascinating contemporary game scenes, entertaining expert explanations, and comic interludes (arte, 22. May, from 20.15 o'clock), and secondly as a wagner app, which was only launched on 22. May be available for free download in the app store until 23:59 (compatible for ipad and iphone). Through the fusion of animations, music, film clips, historical documents, score pages and photographs, wagner can be experienced in a playful way – especially for those new to wagner.

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.

No more vacant lots

The site plan attached to the letter, however, shows two almost independent areas. Taken on their own, they didn’t seem to city council members to be much of a fit for a commercial zoning designation. "We want to think more broadly, said mayor johannes krapp in an interview with the FT. Because not only in aschbach, but also in schlusselfeld, the city no longer had any industrial sites that it could offer to potential buyers.

Suitability is tested

According to a city council resolution, the committee is "fundamentally positive" about the application from the aschbach construction company to. Now a bamberger stadteplanungsburo is to examine the land, which is currently still in the eaves area, for its suitability. According to the mayor, the assessment should also include the possibilities of development and the issues of immission control. If the test results are positive, the land-use plan for the site, which is located in the eaves area, will have to be changed and a development plan will have to be drawn up.

Donald trump’s personal physician on saturday gave a positive assessment of the president’s health after the corona infection. At the same time, his statements raised questions about, among other things, the timing of the diagnosis.

When did the u.S. President test positive for the coronavirus??

Trump himself announced his coronavirus test on thursday evening (local time) and the positive result shortly before 01.00 o’clock on friday night. However, his doctor, sean conley, suddenly said on saturday afternoon that the diagnosis had been made 72 hours ago. That was pointed to the wednesday. When asked by reporters when trump tested positive, conley said, "on thursday afternoon, after learning of a close contact and clinical indications and a little more concern, we did a repeat test." He did not specify what the "clinical indications" were.

In addition, another doctor said that the president had received an anti-corper drug about 48 hours ago – that was meant thursday afternoon, so even before the test of which the president spoke. After the testimony raised massive questions, the weibe haus circulated a written statement from the body’s doctor clarifying that the times of 72 and 48 hours were incorrect and simply meant the third and second days respectively. "The president was first introduced to covid-19 on the evening of thursday, 1. October, and was given the first anticorper cocktail of regeneron on friday, october 2. October," he concluded.

Why is the question of time important?

On wednesday, trump attended a meeting with donors in minnesota and made a campaign appearance in front of several thousand supporters. On thursday he flew to a meeting with donors in new jersey. If he had done all this knowing that he had tested positive, that would have been extremely irresponsible, because you have to assume that you are highly contagious at this stage.

When did trump have his last negative corona test??

To this conley did not want to be aubern. Also little to the question of when trump could have been infected.

Did trump need additional oxygen supply??

Here conley gave evasive answers. "He’s not getting any extra oxygen now," he kept insisting. After several inquiries from reporters, the bodily physician said that trump had also not been given oxygen on thursday – and "yesterday with the team, while we were all here, he was not on an oxygen supply". With this, he expressly left open the possibility that trump could have gotten extra oxygen in the weiben house on friday morning.

The "new york times" reported afterwards, citing two sources close to the weiben house, that trump had had breathing problems on friday and that his sour stools had dropped. This prompted the doctors to give him additional oxygen and transfer him to walter reed hospital.

Why is this an important question?

Covid-19 can attack the lungs, affecting the body’s oxygen supply. That’s why doctors first counteract such cases with the supply of additional oxygen. Currently the oxygen saturation of the blood is at 96 percent, said conley. He did not answer the question whether the president had lung damage and whether he was being treated with steroids.

Has trump fever?

Not anymore, says his doctor. Trump had a high temperature "from thursday to friday", but since friday morning he has been free of fever. The coroner would not say how high trump’s fever was.

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.

When the machines came

The machines and materials are an important indication of the saddler’s work. The torsattler was obviously an open-minded, modern saddler, because he probably also made upholstered furniture in later years. Every training was important. "When the machines came, leather belts were needed to drive these machines", female geldner "if the leather strap broke, it had to be done quickly when the farmers were threshing." Making or reconnecting these leather straps was also a task for the saddler. Upholstering the front plate for the shoes when they pulled the devices over the field was also part of the saddler’s job. All of this can be seen in the tools that are available. Only one thing does not exist: an order book. How much work the saddler had, from which area the orders came and what a job cost, is therefore not known. "The saddler could not make a living from his craft alone", tells geldner. Saddlers partly farmed themselves agricultural plains. But they did not make leather shoes, even though leather was the saddler’s number one utensil. "A saddler did not work as a cobbler. The craftsmen took care of it", female geldner and refers to the saying "cobbler, stick to your guns" as a reference to this strict adherence to craftsmanship.

From the 16. Century

The existing records from the 16. In the twenty-first century, the standard trades call. "The saddler is not ahead of the game", says geldner. Saddler was more of a sideline job. Unlike other trades, there is also no saddlers’ guild. But it is known what the last "torsattler" was has made. " He had a saddler and upholsterer business, as you can read on his board", reports geldner. "From him there are still drawings uber die schulung zur herstellung von sesseln von 1951", tells the FSV chairman.

The "sattlers-karl"

Another treasure from the wedding time of the other saddler from the robner family in the village is also present. The descendant karl robner is still known by the occupational name of his ancestors: "sattlers-karl" he is called. His ancestors – four generations worked as saddlers – were located rather down in the village with the workshop, opposite the zehentstadel. The company founder johann christoph robner, born in 1752, was a master saddler and mesner and is also listed in the trade tax list of 1807. Karl robner also gave FSV a treasure from long ago. "A workbench and some tools of the saddler’s trade", reports geldner. He regrets that these are currently stored in the sporl barn for space reasons. The saddler robner’s barn used to house the stagecoach horses for a time. At least these horses needed a saddle and were in good hands with the saddler.

According to the lebanese state news agency NNA, the dead were syrian refugees. Nine more syrians from homs province were injured, including several women and children.

According to NNA, several rockets hit a wooded area near the border village of arsal on saturday. Many syrian refugees from the burger war live in the district. The majority of sunni residents of arsal sympathize with the syrian rebels.

In recent months, there have been several attacks by syrian warplanes in lebanon. The leadership in damascus had attempted to justify this with the pursuit of terrorists across the border. Syrian state television reported on saturday that government troops had prevented intruders coming from lebanon from crossing the border.

Islamist rebel brigades, meanwhile, captured three ammunition depots in syria. The organization of syrian human rights monitors reported that the attackers had captured armor-piercing ammunition and armored vehicles in kaldun, north of the capital damascus.

There was also a new incident on the turkish-syrian border in which a turkish civilian was killed. The 43-year-old was hit by a stray bullet in the turkish border town of ceylanpinar during a battle between kurds and islamists on the syrian side, turkish media reported on saturday. In the past few weeks, four residents of the village have been killed by maniacs.

In northern syria, arab islamist brigades and kurds critical of the regime have been fighting for dominance for days now. The opposition called on the parties involved on saturday to settle their conflict. In an appeal by the national syrian coalition, it said the revolutionaries could only use their weapons in the fight against the government forces and the militias of president assad. "The coalition warns against using the current crisis in syria to pursue other political goals"."

The syrian opposition is also very worried about an italian jesuit priest who disappeared this week in the rebel area. She declared in istanbul on saturday: "we call on all parties involved in the disappearance of father paolo dall’oglio to come forward immediately and release him"."

The cleric had lived for 30 years in the syrian monastery mar mussa. After the beginning of the uprising he was expelled because of his critical attitude towards the regime. He was last seen in al-rakka province, where islamist brigades are calling the shots.

This sunday, the political committee of the syrian national coalition will meet in the turkish city of gaziantep to discuss again the formation of a counter-government. The opposition alliance threatens to sink into insignificance, as many rebel brigades do not feel bound by its directives.

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

Also dagmar escher, spokeswoman of the alliance "citizens for their region – against the new airfield" was relieved on wednesday: "we are very happy about this last act." For 15 years, people in eight citizens’ initiatives had fought for this goal. Escher also announces a "great festival of joy" to. Presumably, however, this will only happen in the "warm season" will take place.

Tom konopka, regional representative of the BN, is quoted in a press release as follows: "we thank every single person who was present at rallies, preparation and execution of events, in countless meetings, who thought, helped and supported us. Success is a mosaic. Every stone, whether coarse or small, paid off. We would especially like to thank those who, although no longer involved themselves since the 2007 regional planning procedure, stood in solidarity with the citizens of wiesenfeld, neida and beiersdorf and cooperated for another twelve years."

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.

A uniform traffic surface without distinction between driving area and sidewalk would also be characteristic. But the relatively narrow street doesn't allow for that in terms of space. The city council therefore rejected the request.

"Butterfly" PAID
However, the current condition is to be preserved. That means the remaining cross grooves will not be removed.
Georg schaffer attentively followed the discussion in the obertrubach town hall. Schaffer was one of the residents who signed the application. "I am pleased that the municipal council is open to our concerns. With the preservation of the remaining cross grooves, our goal is achieved", he said.

In fact, the rain gutters in burgstrabe are so pronounced that sensible drivers will let off the gas by themselves.

Two items relating to the obertrubach business park and the "schmetterling-reisen" construction project passed the council smoothly. This is about a left turn lane on the staatsstrabe. This is demanded by the official tram construction office.

The costs will be covered by the company "schmetterling-reisen" at.
As a further change, contrary to the previous plan, the public field and forest path, parcel nr. 376/5, gemarkung obertrubach, should not be abandoned. "Butterfly journeys" wants to leave the original way.

The expansion of the TSC barnfels sports center was once again on the agenda. Managing director peter helldorfer discussed numerous problems. This includes a handicapped-accessible design, which is why the structure is also being extended from its original length of twelve meters to 13 meters now.

Compromise urgently sought
Helldorfer also addressed the problem of leach water. In his statement, KBR reinhard polster called for an underground sewerage system with a capacity of 30 cubic meters. According to the architectural office, a water pipe with hydrant within a radius of 300 meters is sufficient for the requirements.
It is clear that the required loschwasserbehalter would be difficult to shoulder financially. Now the people of obertrubach want to find a solution together with the KBR.

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."

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!

In recent years, wiltrud kuhfuss has placed the human being and his or her state of mind at the center of her work. She shows corporeal forms that appear to have grown into pictorial spaces; contours that open up, and collages that, with transparency and traces of tape, refer to vulnerability, protection and vulnerability, even to perishability.

Constructed forms in abstract spaces

Wolfgang kuhfuss is quite different: he juxtaposes constructed forms with abstract spaces. The compositions were fragmentary and convoluted, with a dynamic inherent in the reduction. At the same time the paintings radiate a quiet and impressive effect – and the shapes shown have an emotional weight.

Whereas the paintings and installations certainly show the end product of the artists’ creative intention, the sketchbooks of the artistic couple also give an insight into the collection of ideas and the process of creation of the works of wiltrud and wolfgang kuhfuss.

The deputy district administrator of the rhon-grabfeld district, peter suckfull, will die on 7. February, 19.30 o’clock, buried at the vernissage. Afterwards, the art historian and artist harald knobling from kitzingen will give the introductory lecture. In addition to the art on display, the music at the vernissage offers another highlight: katrin triquart from the bavarian chamber orchestra in bad bruckenau improvises on the double bass to the works on display by the artists kuhfuss.

The exhibition is open until 26. April always open wednesday to sunday and holidays, from 1 to 5 p.M.
