Summer, vacations, camps, what could be better for children and young people?. For 67 participants from all over bavaria this dream became reality. This was made possible by the "faber-nurnberg" team of the federation of the scouts (bdp) and the lions clubs in the districts bavaria-north and -east on a meadow at the edge of the forest on the jurassic plateau between tiefenellern and herzogenreuth.

32 volunteers

The boys and girls, aged between eight and 17, arrived by bus from wurzburg and nurnberg. For ten days they stayed away from home and civilization, they had to organize everything themselves with the help of the 32 volunteer teammates. First the sleeping tents for the new groups had to be set up, but also tents for food, for games, a tea and coffee/cocoa tent, one for the supply of games, for the injured and of course for the cake.
Instead of thunderbolts there were porta-potties, the water was supplied by the litzendorf volunteer fire department with its tanker truck and filled fresh every day into several thousand-liter containers.

"Lagerurgestein"

The head of the camp is devrim ekin, a tent camp veteran and experienced "swashbuckler for such a rough company. With his experience from many camps, he is not to be brought out of the calm, but still consistently directs the show. Although he can rely on his helpers, he wants to and must know everything about everything, since he is ultimately also responsible for his proteges.
The 40-year-old, who is training to be a special education nurse, is delighted to be able to offer young people with and without disabilities something special for a certain period of time, regardless of the type of school they attend. He sums it up like this: "we want to offer the young people here in the summer camp their own beautiful world." Ida loy from freising thinks: "the group is fun, and there are no problems between handicapped and non-handicapped people. That's why I would like to be a teamer next year and take on responsibility myself."
Of course, this also requires a good program, because cell phones are forbidden here. There are small activities, such as volleyball and soccer games, felting, leather and wool processing, circle games and much more.

Climbing in the high ropes course

But the high points are climbing in the high ropes course, a canoe trip on the obermain, several visits to the open-air swimming pool in zapfendorf and night hikes. The very popular bonfire had to be cancelled this time because of the extreme drought, all authorities from the district office to the municipalities prohibited it because of the great fire danger. Even cooking with gas cylinders in a neighboring camp almost fell victim to these precautions.
To make up for the missed campfire, the litzendorf fire department erected a hydro wall, where in the high summer temperatures real water battles and fights with sponges and soft rubber hoses took place. In addition the pfadfinger had also all from the neighbor camp of the "stella matutina invited to participate with pleasure.
Otherwise, however, each camp makes its own program. At the beginning of the vacations, there were three other groups on camp besides the ones already mentioned, so that the otherwise lonely area was already teeming with youth.
Everyone praised the cake team and its leader robert rauner, who always knew how to fill hungry stomachs.
Camp director ekin would like to thank thomas drehsen from bamberg in particular, who, as lions' youth representative, not only provides financial support: "he is always there to help us energetically, be it with setting up or dismantling the camp or with all kinds of errands." As each participant has to pay only 100 euros, the total cost is easily raised. Lions BN and BO support these camps for about 40 years, a great thing say all the young people as if shot out of a pistol.

The 58-year-old demar is expected to join steffen vogel (CSU district chairman in the habberge district) on the state parliament list for the maximilianeum. Thomas habermann, district administrator of the rhon-grabfeld district and candidate for the district parliament, introduced demar to the audience. Demar is since 1997 mayor of the municipality of grobbardorf and thus an experienced local politician with body and soul.

"Demar knows the concerns and challenges of the small district community", according to habermann. Under his leadership, grobbardorf became a model for how a community can tackle the energy transition itself. Grobbardorf was awarded nationwide recognition as a "bioenergy village excellent. Demar comes from an agricultural background, is a trained fitter and works part-time as a project manager at AGRO-kraft in rhon-grabfeld. Demar has long been a leader in the bavarian league team TSV grobbardorf in an honorary capacity.

In his introductory speech, josef demar drew a brief outline of his main focuses. The rural development, to which he pays above all the strengthening of the agriculture, mabnahmen against the demographic development, as well as the implementation of the energy turnaround are a special concern for him.

As a member of the district executive board, vogel was already able to announce that there was broad agreement within the district CSU that josef demar would even be placed third on the lower franconian list and would thus be placed very promisingly after barbara stamm and gerhard eck. Demar is 58 years old, married, has two children and one grandchild.

Christiane reuther the community of oberaurach stands on healthy feet. This was emphasized by mayor thomas sechser at the castle meeting on monday evening at the zenglein guesthouse in oberschleichach. This makes investments possible. The area in front of the blessing hall at the cemetery in oberschleichach is to be redesigned. In this context, a visitor asked for uneven cemetery paths to be removed at the same time.

Before talking about the financial situation of the municipality, sechser recalled the franz schamberger foundation, which was set up just under five years ago with a starting capital of 50,000 euros. The foundation is intended to help enable elderly people to stay in their familiar home environment. In his function as chairman of the foundation, the community leader encouraged the citizens to make active use of the offer.

Practically debt-free

He especially thanked anita amend, who has been supporting the "citizens helping citizens" project with her civic commitment for almost ten years lend a face.

According to sechser, the municipality of oberaurach is practically debt-free. Per capita debt has fallen from its 1991 high of 924 euros to the current level of 66 euros, he says. Thanks to the two million euros in funding, it has been possible to implement many projects in the various parts of the community. These include, among other things, the development of new building areas, the implementation of village renewal measures, and the redesign of the surroundings of churches and friedhofen. But also for the provision of fire engines and for the broadband expansion the municipality has taken a lot of money into its hands.

In an outlook, sechser went into further mabnahmen. A general renovation of the kindergarten in oberschleichach is planned.

A few years ago, the nursery was built there, and now the heating and the roof have been renewed.

Dog droppings on the paths

In the following round of discussions, the issue of the four-legged friends left behind on cycle paths and footpaths or in neighboring meadows was discussed. To hold dog owners accountable, reports had to be received by the municipal administration, the mayor said. Only then could penalties be imposed.

Raising the dog tax to pay for the installation and emptying of dog toilets is not an alternative for him.

A visitor complained that the gate at the feuerloschweiher was opened. In addition, he criticized the planting of trees in the immediate vicinity of the pond, whose foliage further pollutes the sluice gate. When asked how high the costs of the clearing system would have to be passed on to the citizens of unterleichach, the mayor was not yet able to make a statement.

Various options are currently being considered, such as a link to the clearing plant in kirchaich.

Local councillor thomas karg criticized the fact that farmers from outside apply fertilizer to the fields they lease, which causes displeasure among the burghers.

"Experience pilgrimage with joy – in silence with god", this is the motto of this year’s pilgrimage of the parish of poppenroth. The content of the pilgrimage will be, in addition to praying and singing, also quiet moments to detach from everyday life. Various meditations and songs on the theme of the pilgrimage will be performed. The tradition of their forefathers will be continued by the poppenrother on the weekend of saturday, 8. September, until sunday, 9. September, for the 274th time, according to pilgrimage leader lothar metz.

Origin unknown

The poppenroth crucifix pilgrimage takes place every year after mary’s birth. Nothing is known today about the origin of the pilgrimage in poppenroth. It is only said that the pilgrimage to the cross mountain was praised in plague times. At that time, it was a requirement that at least one person from each family take part in the procession.

There are no records in the parish files. This may have been due to the fact that poppenroth was administered by the parish of bad kissingen until 1594. From then on, it belonged to stralsbach as a branch until it became an independent parish in 1794.

Since 1744

The pilgrimage from poppenroth is mentioned for the first time in the church guide of the kreuzberg monastery in 1744. The occasion for this recording was the rough number of pilgrimages arriving at that time.

Parish council chairman alfons schmitt created a pilgrimage book in 1982, which will serve as a chronicle for future generations. Today, an average of 100 to 120 pilgrims take part in the annual pilgrimage.

For this year’s pilgrimage all preparations are already made, the team is ready to go, reports pilgrimage leader lothar metz. Whoever would like to be in the company of a pilgrimage is cordially invited to do so, he continued. Whether young or old from near and far, all are welcome in poppenroth.

Israeli author and thought leader yuval noah harari has warned that algorithms could in the future understand people better than they understand themselves.

"Biological knowledge multiplied by computing power multiplied by data results in the ability to hack humans," he said at the "online marketing rockstars" conference in hamburg on wednesday. The algorithms could predict our decisions and behavior and manipulate our desires. "They will know us better than we know ourselves. That’s not impossible, because most people don’t know themselves very well."

In general, such technologies could have positive effects, for example in the health sector in the early detection of diseases. But the 43-year-old also warned of dramatic consequences in his lecture on "hacking humans". So-called trolls could use personal fears to spread targeted fake news and propaganda. Authoritarian governments could create total surveillance systems. Harari stressed that these are not predictions but possibilities.

In a subsequent conversation with former "bild" editor-in-chief kai diekmann, the bestselling author described himself as neither an optimist nor a pessimist, but a realist. He is not against technology, but he wants to use it for its own purpose. "You need to use technology, not be used by it."

Harari is one of the most sought-after authors at the moment. His book "a brief history of humanity" became a bestseller, as did its successor "homo deus" and his latest work "21 lessons for the 21st century". Century".

Harari also commented on facebook founder mark zuckerberg: "he and many others in silicon valley created these immense machines with a very naive view of human nature," he said. They had the idea of bringing people together. In recent years, they had realized that there were evil people who abused these systems. But they are not yet ready to recognize that there may also be deep structural problems in the platforms themselves.

In the battle for the advance of artificial intelligence (AI), harari envisions a role for europe of its own. "I hope that europe will not follow the american or chinese path, but will go its own way. Because it can’t win," he said. "Europe should find its own solutions, such as developing AI applications that protect people’s privacy instead of hacking it."

52 people attended this year’s online marketing rockstars conference on tuesday and wednesday.000 visitors came.

After a nationwide storm of protest, thuringia’s minister president thomas kemmerich (FDP), who was only elected to office on wednesday with afd votes, wants to vacate his post again. He wants to clear the way for a new election of the state parliament.

"The resignation is inevitable," said the FDP politician in erfurt after a crisis meeting with FDP leader christian lindner, who had made a special trip to the city. Top representatives of the left-wing party, the SPD and the greens in thuringia called on kemmerich to announce his resignation by sunday. But the FDP man has not yet given a clear timetable.

In the morning, chancellor angela merkel (CDU) had called the election "unforgivable" with the help of votes from the CDU and the afd and demanded that the result of this operation be corrected. "It was a bad day for democracy. It was a day that broke with the values and convictions of the CDU, said merkel during a trip to sudafrica.

After kemmerich’s election with afd votes, lindner is under massive pressure within the party. He announced that he would ask for a vote of confidence this friday at a special meeting of the federal executive committee. Kemmerich said in response to the question of whether he had been forced to make his declaration: "no one forced us."Initially, only the FDP drew conclusions from the election, which was criticized by the federal CDU, CSU, SPD, greens and left-wing party as a "breach of the dam" in the demarcation of the conservative center from the afd.

The thuringia FDP wants to file a motion to dissolve the state parliament in order to call a new election. Kemmerich justified his decision by saying that he wanted to remove the stigma of the afd’s support from the office of minister president. "Yesterday, the afd tried to damage democracy with a perfidious trick," he said.

But dissolving parliament is not that easy. According to the state constitution, a vote on new elections must be requested by at least one-third of the deputies – in thuringia, that was 30. But the FDP parliamentary group has only five members in the thuringian state parliament. In order to decide on new elections, the votes of two-thirds of the deputies were needed. Kemmerich made it clear that if this did not succeed, he would ask for a vote of confidence in the state parliament.

Thuringia’s CDU party and parliamentary group leader mike mohring, on the other hand, wants to avoid a new election to the state parliament. The CDU had to reckon with a significant loss of votes in this case. The incumbent minister-president could put the question of trust to the state parliament and enable the election of a successor, he wrote on twitter. The current minister president, bodo ramelow, is still available as a candidate, according to the deputy head of the thuringian left, steffen dittes.

Kemmerich was elected head of government on wednesday with the votes of the afd, CDU and FDP, and thus prevailed over ramelow with the help of the afd. It was the first time that the afd helped a minister president into office. This led to fierce criticism from the public, but also from the parties.

Lindner called kemmerich’s declaration the "only correct decision. "After today’s decisions here in erfurt, it is possible for me to continue in my office as chairman. But I wanted to be sure of the legitimacy of our leadership," said lindner. Meanwhile, the thuringian FDP state executive committee expressed its confidence in kemmerich.

What consequences the CDU will draw remained unclear at first. CDU leader annegret kramp-karrenbauer traveled to erfurt on thursday to consult with CDU politicians there – these crisis talks continued late thursday evening. Mohring asked his state party executive committee for a vote of confidence, thereby gaining backing. According to CDU secretary general raymond walk, he was confirmed by a vote of twelve to two.

Kemmerich’s decision is "correct, but even after 24 hours it is already long overdue," said CDU secretary general paul ziemiak in berlin. This would create a chance to get out of the difficult situation and avert further damage. "All democratic forces" were called upon to look for new ways of achieving this along the lines of their own fundamental convictions. "New elections are the best way to do this and, above all, the clearest way," ziemiak stressed.

CSU leader markus soder had also made another move. "It needs a quick, a fast and a consistent correction of this mishap of thuringia and then a determination how to deal with it permanently. Something like this must not be allowed to happen again," the bavarian head of government said on the sidelines of a state parliament session in munich.

The afd has called on members of the state parliament in thuringia not to follow merkel’s recommendations. Democratic decisions should not simply be "taken back," declared the leader of the afd parliamentary group, alice weidel. She said: "I appeal to the delegates in erfurt not to be influenced by such anti-democratic calls."

Kemmerich’s election also strains the grand coalition in berlin. Situation to be discussed in coalition committee on saturday. Merkel did not want to comment in south africa on the question of whether the events in thuringia could also have led to the failure of the grand coalition in berlin.

"I spent my youth on the main and with the handball players", tells karlheinz menger – and his face is beaming and he looks as if he doesn't want to miss a minute of it. For over 50 years he has been loyal to his club, the gymnastics club 1861 marktsteft, and has already experienced a lot together with them. At the annual general meeting on friday evening he was awarded the golden pin of honor of the association for special merits. "He did a lot as a youth coach for many years, coordinator on the court and helper in the club", said the chairman gunther thorwarth in his laudation.

The 1939 born TV-urgestein from marktsteft remembers gladly old times: "we played in former times handball-grobfeld with eleven men on the place down at the main, that knows today almost nobody more." In his early days at TV, grobfeld handball was played outdoors, later also in the old gymnasium in neubaustrabe (today's reservist home) and after the new building in 1990 in the multi-purpose hall, which belongs to the city. Menger was always there. He played with the schoolboys, in the youth (C-youth for eight years), in the 1st team and in the first team. And 2. Team and with the old men. "Until I was 45 years old, I played as an active handball player", he tells proudly. For eight years, he was also in charge of the old men's team, after which he continued to work as a referee for his club. His position was mainly center forward.

"We marktstefter always played high class handball, in the county we are always next to rodelsee at the top", he recounts. He thinks it's right that the club, founded in 1926, stayed true to handball and didn't get bogged down with fubball.

Success proves him and the club right. The TV has today 624 members (and this with 1400 inhabitants in marktsteft) and provides at present 15 handball teams. Menger, who has also made a name for himself as a town leader and museum employee in marktsteft, is a living lexicon of TV and has seen many top athletes come and go. For example, he also remembers the exceptional athlete dirk nowitzky from wurzburg, who plays top-class basketball in america: "dirk also started out as a handball player – like his father, against whom i once played handball myself."
