The request to examine the possibility of introducing a call-sharing cab (AST) in the district of coburg comes from kanat akin. The 31-year-old from neustadt is a member of the SPD parliamentary group in the district council and the youth representative for the district of coburg. He is "really excited", how the new local transport service will develop.

How close is the call-sharing cab to what you envision as the ideal service for the younger generation??

In the conference room of the construction office, meter-long tarpaulins hang on the partition walls. As inscrutable as the circuit diagram of a model railroad. "Even for us, it's not easy to understand at a glance", admits gerhard zedler, head of the building authority. It is the route planning for the ICE between forchheim-nord and kersbach that is in question. And the latter makes oberburgermeister franz stumpf (CSU/WUO) involuntarily derail: "da konnt' ich aus der haut fahren" (I could go out of my skin), zurnt stumpf with a view to the long distances that people with disabilities will have to walk to get from the planned commuter parking lot to the new kersbach platform: 700 meters, with a high overhead winding "an impertinence", also comments building authority director zedler.This means that the planning from 1996 has deteriorated: at that time, an underpass was to be built to the other side of the track, with a platform connection and elevators in the middle.

Now the station will be moved to the area north of the road and the access will also be on the north side of the bridge access road. The bus stop is then no longer at the top of the bridge but at the fub of the bridge access road. From the commuter parking lot planned to the west of the tracks, you can reach the bridge via a staircase and then take an elevator down to the platform in the middle of the passageway.
Even more complicated is the description of the route for the handicapped, which was criticized at the beginning: they first have to walk from the parking lot under the bridge, then up a ramp on street level to the bridge, cross it, and then walk down again on the other side, cross the roadway there, and get back onto the bridge on the opposite side, again via a ramp. Only from there, in the middle, the elevator goes down to the platform.

The possenheim fire department looked back on the past year of service in the hall of the burgerhaus and honored two long-serving members.

In his report, chairman erich krautlein recalled the new mlf fire engine purchased the previous year, the arrival of which was delayed and which had to be returned to the manufacturer for rework.

The chamber of handicrafts has honored 52 chamber winners. "The journeyman’s examination is only one stage of the ‘tour of working life’. But they mastered this first stage very well." This is how the president of the chamber of handicrafts for upper franconia, thomas zimmer, congratulated the young craftsmen and women who passed their final examinations in 2018 as the best in their trade in the chamber’s district. Among them were eleven journeymen and women from upper franconia who had won the state or even the national championship.

"It’s important for us to recognize and reward our successful young talent", thomas zimmer emphasized. For this award makes the good achievements that have been made in vocational training visible for a broader circle. "This helps us and our businesses and increases the perception and appreciation of vocational training."

The project of the lowen exists only since the middle of 2018 and was founded after the bundesliga relegation of the gotha rockets playing in erfurt, to keep professional basketball in erfurt. The managing directors are the former bamberg bundesliga manager wolfgang heyder and florian gut, who was also active in bamberg basketball for many years. Gut also acts as the coach of the team, which this year is not doing as well as expected. Last year’s play-off participant is in last place in the table with 1:12 victories and is already eight points behind the currently saving shore.

For the guests the meeting in strullendorf is therefore already almost the last chance to escape the relegation round. Therefore one looked around in the winter break after verstarkungen, how well after the home defeat against gieben announced: "we examine at present different player profiles. We are talking to several players and will work hard during the winter break to find a strong new signing."

Nevertheless, the majority of the city council was satisfied with the result yesterday, since the city had planned a deficit for 2012 that was almost twice as high (23.5 million).
But this does not mean that the city had saved eleven million euros in its expenditures: according to all forecasts, it will also earn more in 2013, especially in trade tax. While revenues rose by around 15 million euros compared to the previous year, expenditures went up by around four million euros.
And these increases are not the city’s fault; according to chamberlain wilhelm austen, they are almost entirely due to the levies: both the trade tax and the district levy are rising, so that of the targeted 58.3 million euros in trade tax, only 28.6 million euros remain in the city’s coffers. In addition to spending on day-to-day administration, some 35.7 million euros are also earmarked for investments. This includes schools and daycare centers, but also the purchase of the guterbahnhof land and six million euros for the redevelopment areas of the coburg housing company.
"First consolidations and conscious savings really bear fruit", summed up austen. However, things like wage increases or higher costs for home stays in youth welfare could quickly lead to unforeseen cost increases.
