Pile driver helps with fence construction

"Fence building is not witchcraft, says master silviculturist michael schneider, who is calmly explaining to his listeners the various tools and materials needed to properly fence a plot in the forest. It is much more important that they are installed properly. "In the end, it doesn't matter how it's done. There are various possibilities," he says, he continues. The main thing is that the fence stays tight and stable so that it prevents rabbits, deer and wild boars from biting the freshly planted trees on the property. The trees will eventually be felled in a few years and then used or sold.

E-scooters, or electric scooters, are now legal in germany as of this year. These are so-called miniature electric vehicles, i.E. Scooters that are driven by an electric motor. The little runabouts should be fuel-efficient and, with their electric motors, a "win for the environment to be, because you can quickly overcome short distances. Many senior citizens know scooters from their childhood. But the new e-scooters are an alternative for older people?

75-year-old gerhard schmidt from leutzdorf tested an e-scooter and received advice from manuel heilmann, owner of fahrrad-heilmann in hausen, beforehand. His conclusion after the test drive: "this is something for seniors who are tired and want to cover short distances quickly."

When the ketchentor disappeared

When the ketchentor disappeared

Who still remembers the "gasthof zum baren"? In the hospital alley? In its place stands today a new nuchterner building, in which clothing is offered instead of clogs. How the grafsblock got its name, why the inner ketschentor no longer exists, and what happened to the "villa valesca" was, probably also not every coburg woman anymore. The new demolition calendar of the old town friends – the sixth in the meantime – provides information.
Werner minier has found twelve interesting objects. He searched the city and state archives, the city museum initiative and coburg residents who still have historical photos in their possession. Named are rupert appeltshauser, christian boseckert, gerhard eckerlein and karl-ulrich pachale.
The calendar for 2018 is structured like the previous ones: the rough historical black-and-white photo is juxtaposed with a small current color photo. Michael heinrich was again responsible for the design, and veste-verlag for the printing.
He is not interested in pointing the finger of blame at past mistakes, emphasizes werner minier. Instead, the aim is to "increase sensitivity for future decisions" sharpened to avoid undesirable developments. And the author sees a positive development in coburg at the moment. "The situation has been particularly encouraging in the city’s recent past, where preservation or even reconstruction to the historic form of listed buildings is taking place more and more frequently, especially from the private sector."
It is not concealed that many a showpiece has disappeared from the city because it could hardly be preserved at the time of its demolition. For example, the inner ketchentor, which had to give way in 1791. The reasons: "the end of hostile threat, the high unjustifiable financial maintenance and hygiene reasons". Or the representative villa valesca on the new way. It was badly damaged by artillery fire in 1945 and destroyed by the resulting fire. A new building erected on this site after the second world war by the protestant free church is now used by the "schlaraffia coburg" association.
The sale of the calendar starts next saturday from 10 to 14 o’clock at the stand of the altstadtfreunde in the spitalgasse.

The gap between men and women

The gap between men and women

Men and women are equal. This year, our constitution will be 70 years old, and it has been written in the constitution for just as long that no one may suffer disadvantages because of his or her gender. "Equality is enshrined in german law and EU directives", says harald rost. The sociologist has been conducting research at the ifb for over 20 years: the state institute for family research at the university of bamberg is the only scientific organization in germany devoted exclusively to family research. There is a lot to be said for equal rights, for the equality of men and women. It exists. On paper. "There is a wide gap between the norm and reality."

Germany's next top managers?

The reality is that the proportion of women in management positions is only 29 percent, five percent below the global average. Top model shows and wedding shows dominate large parts of the image of women in the media. Secure, highest-paying job prospects for decades to come offered by the "mint-professions: mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, technology – although germany is the third most important country here after the u.S. And india, only 16 percent of ours are "mint-female talents. This is the criticism of the latest global gender gap report, for which the world economic forum analyzes the gap between the opportunities of men and women every year.

Unusual tone from the pipe

Unaccustomed sounds were the 4. Didgeridoo sound days at the ernst farm this weekend. In addition to workshops, there was live music and an open stage.

"Open stage" for everyone in the event room or whoever wanted to, could get a taste of stage air and present their performance to the audience. Handlers had brought the entire range of didgeridoos, the traditional musical instrument of the north australian aborigines, and many hobby players from the region took advantage of the offer to test the instruments on the spot. Spontaneously came many a small "concert" together.

Cycle path network in the kronach district already covers 330 kilometers

Three thalers define the geography of the kronach district. Mountains lie between the talers. And that’s where the difficulty lies – especially for cyclists, says angelika kempf of the kronach district road administration.

All three valleys are easily passable thanks to the extensive network of cycle paths. 330 kilometers of signposted bike paths exist in the entire district. Of course, there could always be more, says kempf. More signposted routes are to be added in the current year. New construction projects underway or in the planning stage. Which projects will be implemented first depends on the list of priorities determined by the district council and on the level of demand.
