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.

If on 15.When the municipal elections are held in marz 2020, the name of kronach’s district administrator will also appear on the list – even though his post is not even up for election. Klaus loffler will be the top candidate on the CSU’s list for the county council as the incumbent head of the county. A decision that is politically polarizing.

For CSU district chairman jurgen baumgartner, loffler’s nomination is not only a permissible but even a sensible move. "Klaus will head the list", he assures. There is agreement on this in the district executive committee. "Legally, this is possible without any problems and is not a lex kronach, but the most normal thing in the world."

The area around the old town hall in bamberg has recently been enriched by a new attraction: in the presence of mayor andreas stark (SPD), a three-dimensional metal model of the town was unveiled on the uphill side of the upper bridge. It represents the area of the old town hall with the surrounding buildings on 70 by 40 centimeters. The city model is thanks to the rotary club bamberg – schloss geyersworth, which initiated its creation as a rotarian presidential project 2018/2019.

The special thing about it is that, unlike the bronze casting in front of the town hall at geyersworth castle, which rotary also donated in 2005/2006, the new town model comes from the printer! With the company "hofmann your maker of possibilities" a partner was found in lichtenfels, which is a leader in the field of 3-D metal printing, reports the city press office. Layer by layer, a three-dimensional representation of the historical area around the bamberg landmark was created. Even the famous little angel’s leg peeping out of the facade of the town hall is worked out in the process.

What could be the most far-reaching merger in germany’s pulp market is off the table for the time being. The federal cartel office has prohibited the waste disposal giant remondis from lunen (north rhine-westphalia) from merging with the koln-based company DSD, which holds the trademark rights to the gruner punkt recycling symbol.

This was announced by the authorities in bonn on thursday. The merger "had led to a considerable impediment to competition in the dual systems," declared antitrust office chief andreas mundt. In his view, remondis’ market power would ultimately have been to the detriment of consumers.

In a handwritten letter published by the newspaper "algemeen dagblad" on friday, the dutchwoman asks the monarch to address her situation at his planned meeting with kremlin leader vladimir putin in moscow. The young woman, along with 29 other activists and companions, has been imprisoned for more than a month in the port city of murmansk.

This was jointly announced on sunday evening by minister-president petr necas of the liberal-conservative democratic citizens’ party (ODS), aubenminister karel schwarzenberg of the conservative TOP 09 party and radek john for the party of public affairs (VV).

The current alliance partners will continue to work together in parliament to implement the austerity measures approved for the next two years, necas said. In addition pay shortcuts in the public service, a value added tax increase and pension reductions.

The people of segnitz have a bit of a routine when it comes to honoring highly deserving fistball players, as the teams of TV segnitz have returned from championships with titles and awards time and again over the years. Nevertheless, the joy and pride were enormous when mayor marlene bauer invited the successful athletes to the hall of the town hall at the weekend. On the podium was the women’s team, which finished fifth in the german championships at the beginning of september.

As third placed in the bavarian championship, the ladies traveled to the tournament in kellinghusen in schleswig-holstein and had to admit defeat to the future german champion. "For a long time, the ladies have again qualified for the german championship, and we are very proud of that!" mayor bauer said. Club chairman timo hofmann is confident that the women’s team will be back in action next year, especially since the team will retain some of its top players. Although, according to hofmann, there have been offers from top clubs, even from abroad, for individual players.

Christiane reuther the town hall meeting in the knetzgau district of oberschwappach on thursday evening attracted a great deal of interest in the packed community center. The focus was on the restoration of the gardens and parks of oberschwappach castle, which was once the summer residence of the abbots from ebrach. They are intended to become an attractive attraction of garden culture in the district of habberge and to convey the cultural heritage, as knetzgau’s mayor stefan paulus explained. The leader project "creative enhancement of the oberschwappach castle park" is part of the transnational leader-cooperation project "cisterscapes-cistercian landscapes connecting europe" to obtain the european seal of culture. The basis for the project are plans for the implementation, which illuminate the cistercian past of the facilities and allow a modern and contemporary interpretation of the garden development harmonizing with the ebracher monastery landscape. The landscape planners marion dubler from bamberg and angelika droll-lauenstein and gotz lauenstein from coburg presented a design.

The planners want in particular to restore important structural facilities or make them accessible to the public and to landscape the park with plant additions. Especially the fountains and the sundials, which are located in the terraced garden. Both in the garden and in the adjacent landscape park, the design should show the reference to cistercian garden art by emphasizing the baroque structures. The first level in the terraces is to be upgraded as a decorative garden for representation. The second and third levels are planned as utility garden parterres and herb and fruit garden. The theme of water is to be revived, and the theme of wine, as a cistercian heritage, is also to be incorporated into the design. In the landscape park the relation to the terraced garden is to be established by plant structures and seating elements with an illumination concept.
