Anselm grun: this is not my merit

Gratitude – that would be a good alternative title for the birthday event P. Anselm gruns OSB has been. Because that’s exactly what he wants to do to his numerous guests, as it says in a letter to the press. But the symposium of the abbey of munsterschwarzach, which was organized together with the vier-turme-verlag, was overwritten with "life dreams and inspiration". What life dreams P. Anselms were fulfilled, showed speech contributions of some away companions.

For example, there was winfried nonhoff, who, on the occasion of anselm’s birthday, published a new book with 75 questions for p. Anselm wrote with him. He described the benedictine as a missionary, because that is what he does in his lectures and seminars. It shows that, in the end, it comes down to a total commitment to god. With rough theological competence, he helps people live their faith in everyday life. "What P. Anselm is also his love for his family", says nonhoff.

In the spirit of enlightenment

In the spirit of enlightenment

A remarkable spiritual-ocumenical affinity of choice between two important grafenberg and weibenoh authors around the year 1800 is traced by otto muller in the "poeten-eckela to. The event will take place on sunday, 19. January, 4 p.M., at the "friedmanns-braustuberl, second floor, bayreuther strabe 14 (in front of the hiltpoltsteiner tor), will take place. Grafenberg’s first dean johann heinrich witschel (1769 to 1847) and the benedictine priest willibald schrettinger (1772 to 1851) from the weibenohe monastery were united not only by their spiritual work, but also by their literary work in the spirit of enlightenment. Witschel, briefly a member of the bavarian chamber of deputies, wrote devotional books that were widespread in his time, railed against the degradation of sundays and chatted in 1797 in the noble inn "herrenschiebgraben" in nurnberg even with goethe passing through. Schrettinger, a monk with many literary, artistic and musical talents, moved with his books to munich in 1803 after the dissolution of the monasteries by napoleon, where as librarian of the royal court library he organized the extensive book collections. Otto muller traces her life in the region some 200 years ago and reads from schrettinger’s diary as well as from witschel’s successful book "morgen- und abendopfer nebst andere gesangen" ("morning and evening sacrifices along with other songs"), which was published in eleven editions.

Earthquake researchers benefit from corona lockdown

The corona crisis offers earthquake researchers unimagined opportunities. Due to the weeks-long standstill of many social areas, it has also become quieter on the surface of the earth.

As a result, earthquake signals were easier to detect than before the corona lockdown. "The decrease in ground motion was clearly measurable at many stations," says seismologist joachim ritter of the karlsruhe institute of technology (KIT). With the gradual return to normal life, the earth’s surface is rumbling more and more.

Munnerstadt: new construction area on the schindberg

Private investor sven melzer wants to eliminate an urban planning deficiency and designate a small residential area on munnerstadt’s schindberg hill. He has bought the former sagewerk mauer and the surrounding land at the schindbergstrabe and wants to create building sites there. "The best thing is to do it now", he said to our newspaper. But the preubes are known not to push so fast. It is a commercial area that has to be transformed into a small mixed area and a building area. Mayor helmut blank (CSU) points out that there is also land behind the former sagewerk. If these were added, a small building area would be created, according to the mayor. "Subject to approval by the city council."

Helmut blank recalls the panel discussion of the mayoral candidates a week ago. There had also been questions about where young families should build in the city center. The mayor now sees a chance at the schindberg. This is the result of a conversation between a representative of the investor and the city of munnerstadt. "There are still discussions to be held with the district office", says the mayor. Because the project requires a change in the land use plan and, of course, a development plan must also be prepared.

This is what CEO herbert hainer told the "suddeutsche zeitung" (thursday). In 2015, the group, which in addition to the adidas brand also includes reebok and taylor-made, aims to generate sales of 17 billion euros.

"The high unemployment, the economic problems, that doesn’t necessarily help us," said hainer, who is now the most senior chief executive of a DAX-listed company. "On the other hand, we are growing in america, russia, china and also in europe as a whole."
