Resting forest causes a stir

Resting forest causes a stir

The planned forest cemetery raised a lot of dust at the castle meeting in the fire department hall, where supporters and opponents of the project engaged in a battle of words. The citizens’ petition received by the municipality, signed by about one-third of fuchsstadter, provided both camps with arguments that heated up the meeting.
Mayor peter hart first provided the facts. According to this, the two-hectare resting forest was to be created south of the kohlenberg chapel, not in the immediate vicinity of the chapel. The signatures are available for review by the administration. The town council decides on 27. Marz, whether the citizens’ petition is legally correct, so that a referendum can possibly be initiated. Hart also opposed the opinion that the paths to the forest cemetery and the parking area should be asphalted. They should only receive a gravel top layer.
Daniela stoth, one of the initiators of the citizens’ petition, opposed the site, pointing out that the kohlenberg is a popular recreational area, which the mayor also acknowledged. But there are still other attractive walking paths in fuchsstadt. "If it was a question of disturbing the peace of the dead, no one and no car could pass by the cemetery in fuchsstadt and no event could take place in the gaden", he countered a corresponding question. The mayor was unable to answer the question posed by romana heinemann-kufer, a co-initiator, as to how many binding requests from fuchsstadt citizens had been received.
Hunting and hunting ground leaseholder alois bayer considered the "quiet forest" a "burden on our descendants. This flat is never usable again", he is convinced. And the estimated costs would not be enough, because the road there would not be passable in winter without asphalting. He concluded: "the municipality should invest the money better in the youth". Alfred jeurink believes that the citizens’ petition is based on false premises. "Hardly anything is changing at the kohlenberg and urns are disappearing", he welcomed.
Heinemann-kufer made it clear that the citizens’ petition was not against a forest cemetery as such, but against its location. When asked, hart said that the enclosure of the graveyard could also be a grass belt. Roland kippes gives free rein to his opinion. Accordingly, the municipalities had too much money. "Abundance must not lead to things that are dispensable. I do not believe that the municipal council was given the task of promoting burials in fuchsstadt. How would it be simple with a burger survey?", he advised. The topic, which is expected to attract a large audience at the upcoming meeting, will remain on the agenda until the 27th. Marz exciting.
But the "bone of contention" forest cemetery fuchsstadt plans to complete the multipurpose hall and the multigenerational meeting place this year. Both projects are expected to be completed by october. At the same time, the annex to the village museum is getting a new roof. All in all, the municipality is calculating an investment volume of around 2.7 million euros this year. Pledges in the amount of 1.2 million have been received.
Hart calls fuchsstadt a "rich community" in terms of citizens’ willingness to contribute to the common good and hoped "that this wealth would be preserved for us". In this context, he thanked all supporters and helpers, especially those who participated in the jubilee, which raised more than 20,000 euros.
In 2018, the focus is on the forest, which should receive sustainable, good care and forest management. Here are also the road construction and repair work on field and forest roads are considered. The average nitrate content of drinking water is 30 to 34 milligrams. A further supply of foreign drinking water for the lowering of the city does not consider the rathausobere for sensible. For a water withdrawal from the well II "am sand" investigations are currently underway. For the construction of the wind turbines, it is nice to know that this year we are going to build the access road and the pipelines for the power supply. The border walk is on the 9. June scheduled.

Excavations need more money

Excavations need more money

Archaeology costs the city more money than expected. The main and finance committee, in its capacity as a vacation committee, approved an extension of the contract around the town hall and castle. And thus also an increase in funds.

Until now, it was expected that about 20 working days would be enough. 35640 euros were granted to the company of archaeologist marco goldhausen for this purpose. It was about the professional care of the search shurfs. This is what the council’s information on the proposed resolution says.

With a touch of the orient

The first event to celebrate its premiere was the seniors’ carnival in the new clubhouse of the hammelburg carnival society (hakage). It has long been a good practice to invite the elderly citizens of the city and the retirement homes to an entertaining, happy afternoon. For the domestic jesters it is also a first impression of their program.

The organizers packed nine dance performances alone into the run-off in front of an almost full hall. The start was given to the dancing couple, who unfortunately had to perform only one actrice, maren otter, because her partner, lucia pfulb, had to cancel due to illness. The young dance girl nevertheless completed her difficult solo part with bravura.

A critical look always goes up. Since 1927, the local play "die schutzfrau von munnerstadt" has been performed on the anger and since then there have been repeated cancellations. "The most difficult thing is to make the decision", says bruno eckert, who was chairman of the home game community for 45 years. Claudia kind, his successor, hopes that she will be spared such a situation for as long as possible. Because: "actually we can’t afford a failure", she says. Good for the visitors: even if a game is cancelled, there is a small replacement program.

Set-up starts at 7 a.M

Normally, on a homecoming sunday, the helpers meet at 7 a.M. To set up the barriers, the stage set and the chairs. If the weather is uncertain, this date can be postponed, says claudia kind. "We have a ‘whatsapp group,’ and anyone who is not in it gets a call. Around 10 o’clock it starts to get critical.

More space for children

More space for children

That zapfendorf needs more daycare places is indisputable. However, there were discussions in the municipal council about the costs and the execution of an extension and even the plot of land. And then there’s the fact that the building won’t be finished in time for the nursery children to need the space.

Architect arne vogels has already been a guest at the zapfendorf municipal council twice and presented plans for the new construction of another building on the site of the daycare center for children st. Christophorus before. Two new nursery groups are to be built there to close the supply gap that will open up from the end of 2020, according to current statistics. In the meantime, the design planning has been completed, and soon the tender for the craftsmen’s services can be issued.

Fraud: pensioner from the district of forchheim threatened

Fraud: pensioner from the district of forchheim threatened

The pensioner from wimmelbach is simply afraid that the sender of the threatening letter will visit her at home, as announced. That’s why she doesn’t like to read her name in the newspaper and why she is having the windows of her apartment made burglar-proof. But she wants to warn others. Actually, the 65-year-old only wanted to sell a baroque upholstered set and another piece of furniture.

Offered on the internet

In several groups and pages, also on the facebook marketplace, she therefore advertised. "It’s not furniture that finds a wide range of buyers," explains the pensioner, the woman from wimmelbach explains her actions. In fact, a foreign family came to see the piece of furniture and bought it. "They had not even negotiated and were very nice", says the pensioner. Then came from another interested party a return message on the baroque tapestry sofa, with the request by private message to give the address, because he wanted to buy the sofa at the offered price of 690 euros. The interested party wrote in german, but also had a foreign name.

Clash among euro partners: no new aid for cyprus

The recently agreed rescue package of ten billion euros will not be renegotiated or topped up. In response to a question about more money, eurogroup head jeroen dijsselbloem said in luxembourg on thursday: "that would not be a good situation for cyprus, because the loans must also be able to be paid back."That is why the lenders had limited the amount to ten billion euros. "The program is well calculated on the basis of expectations," says the dutchman.

Cyprus tried to smooth the waters. The cypriot government spokesman christos stylianides stressed on cyprus state radio (RIK) that although some changes to the austerity program were desired, the government wanted to adhere to the agreement with the lenders: "I emphasize this again and again so that this is understood."

Wildflecken: the pumptrack project will continue at the end of may

There is water in the cistern of the old pumping station. The building itself has long since been demolished. Demolition began in the fall of 2016. At that time, mayor gerd kleinhenz (PWW) still thought that the new sports and recreation area at the sinn could be opened a year later. But contamination in the soil put a huge spanner in the works.

The builders found residues of fuel, oil and grease in the soil. Remains of tar are still visible today on the cistern wall. No one knows exactly where they came from. "For more than a year, investigations were carried out again and again", reports daniel kleinheinz from the municipal administration. In the meantime, the municipality can rule out the possibility that the pollutants were brought in from outside. Because the loading ramp for the tanks of the americans was located above the pumping station. But the pollution did not come from there, says the mayor.
