Brunn’s stephanus church is a single construction site

Many industrious hands of the brunn parishioners have cleared all movable objects from their stephanus church. They unscrewed the lamps and luminaires and prepared the empty roof space of the community house in the village center for the services.
Although the people of brunn will have to do without their organ in their church services until further notice. But even with a keyboard the songs can be accompanied appropriately solemnly.
The atmosphere has also become more familiar, because the people of brunnen have to move closer together during the service. The whole situation has a pragmatic background: the evangelical lutheran church community of brunn is currently renovating its stephanus church.

Total cost: 137 000 euro
The work included fixing and renovating the stenciled plaster ceilings in the church interior as well as cleaning the interior wall surfaces.
The interior is being refurbished and the plaster facade and roof are being renovated. The church congregation agreed on all this with the state office for the preservation of historical monuments and the building department of the bavarian state church.
The brunn church community expects the renovation work to cost 137,000 euros. The evangelical lutheran church in bavaria, the upper franconia foundation and three banks are participating in the project. The church community finances the rest from its own funds.
The architect in charge from heiligenstadt expects the work to be completed by mid september.
Then the believers in brunn can move from their temporary quarters to a freshly renovated church.

“The afd is god’s punishment for the csu” – trench warfare at gillamoos

No, no one was allowed to come to the abensberg palace garden on this monday morning because of the cosy atmosphere. Beer from paper cups, no music and cold, wet weather – just a few meters away from the warm beer tents on the gillamoos festival meadow in lower bavaria – are not very inviting. Nevertheless, more and more people stream onto the meadow behind the old castle walls, and in the end there will be more than 600 of them. They all want to hear what the afd has to say. “This is not about cosiness, this is about the future of bavaria and germany, says one of the many orderlies with a female band on his upper arm. At least on this point no one was allowed to disagree.

"We are facing a fateful election in bavaria", a little later, lower bavarian afd top candidate katrin ebner-steiner shouts to the audience. It is one of the first moments when something like a stirring of emotion can be heard among the listeners under their umbrellas. Politics thrives on change, after the meteoric impact in the federal elections it is now bavaria"s turn. "We celebrate our victory march across germany." it only gets louder when the speakers – above all party leader jorg meuthen – talk about multiculturalism and the "complete failure of the state" rant.

Early detection of diseases: many illegal offers

early detection of diseases: many illegal offers

Some medical examinations for the early detection of serious illnesses using computer tomography (CT) are legally inadmissible, according to experts, and may no longer be offered.

"If a cancellation of such offers does not take place, the supervisory authorities of the lander can take appropriate measures," a spokeswoman for the federal environment ministry said in response to a question from the german press agency dpa. The federal office for radiation protection (bfs) in salzgitter had previously criticized the offers of practices and clinics.

Gfk researcher: consumers still in the mood for consumption

Germans are still in the mood for consumption. "Apparently unimpressed by external risks such as the trade conflict and brexit, consumers are prepared to spend their money," says the new consumer climate study by the nurnberg-based market researcher gfk.

Because saving is still not an attractive alternative in view of the extremely low interest rates. The tendency to put money aside has even fallen again recently.

Rendezvous at the border with punch and cookies

Rendezvous at the border with punch and cookies

Love and friendship know no boundaries and no age limit. Even at the ages of 89 and 85, karsten tuchsen hansen and inga rasmussen still want to see each other every day.

The problem: hansen lives in suderlugum in north frisia, rasmussen in danish gallehus. And the border between schleswig-holstein and denmark is closed since two weeks because of the rapid spread of the new coronavirus. But just talking on the phone is not enough for the seniors. So they meet since then daily at the closed border crossing aventoft.

Pressure for speed 30

Pressure for speed 30

The hochstadter kellerbergverein, together with the parents' council of the high school, is campaigning for a speed limit of 30 km/h on the kellerberg. Jungst, birgit volker and ulla rosensteiner from the parents' council, as well as karsten wiese from the kellerberg association, handed over a list with almost 1000 signatures to district administrator alexander tritthart (CSU). The aim of the action is to protect the numerous schoolchildren and visitors when crossing the road. In addition, the highly sensitive cellars are to be protected from further deterioration.
At the last meeting last year, hannah reuter, spokeswoman for the district administration, explained that the police and the district administration did not consider a speed limit of 30 to be necessary. Mayor, association and parents of the high school do not let up and so they ask together with mayor gerald brehm (JL) for a new review of the case.
Due to the relatively high speed of the cars, segments of the basement hill were in danger of collapsing. "A lot of money was invested in the cellars and now everything is slowly collapsing", said wiese. One simply has to reintroduce speed 30, which already existed once and was changed back to speed 50 in 2006.

Reasoned exception

Signs like "caution school were hardly of interest to any motorist, said birgit volker, who has also had negative experiences as a pick-up mother.
Mayor brehm drew attention to the totality of the situation. The schoolchildren unfortunately take the shortest way and in the matter of the cellar, thus culturally, the refusal was actually also not comprehensible. The state road 2763 is from the exit weberskeller to the kerschensteiner road an extremely sensitive area. "This is a justified exceptional case and the district authority could approve such a thing", said brehm to the district administrator.
Alexander tritthart received the request with great interest and goodwill: "the high number of signatures is a signal for me that the burghers are behind it." but due to the status of the state prosecution, the matter is much more complicated. The decision was made by the district office, but all parties involved had to be taken on board. This was the state building authority, the police and the lower traffic authority.
He suggested to the mayor that a speedometer should be installed at the site in question in order to be able to prove how fast people are actually driving.

New competence center against right-wing extremism

New competence center against right-wing extremism

"There must be no room in this country, in this society for right-wing extremism", said federal interior minister hans-peter friedrich (CSU) after a meeting with churches, associations and initiatives against the right in berlin. Family minister kristina schroder (CDU) announced a new, nationwide information and competence center to bundle knowledge about right-wing extremism. Hopes for more money for initiatives had already been dampened.

Friedrich and schroder had initiated the meeting together to set a sign against right-wing extremism. "Only if we all work together to actively promote our democracy and tolerance can we banish right-wing extremism from our society," said friedrich. The federal and state governments have an obligation to provide municipalities with all the help, support and encouragement they can in the fight against right-wing extremism. At the end of november, it became known that right-wing terrorists had been able to murder ten people without investigators having the perpetrators in their sights.

When the people in charge of his native angola discovered him two years ago in the rhineland for their national team, the dynamic left-fingered young man was immediately on fire.
