Meeting brought back memories of school days

Through the lanes

Flood protection pursues two goals

Flood protection pursues two goals

Thanks to the generous space available in the oberaurach center in trossenfurt, it was no problem for the oberaurach community to hold its community council meeting on tuesday evening with sufficient safety margin.

A major item on the agenda was the planned flood protection in kirchaich. Jan-peter solveen and robert lutz from alka engineering presented the design and answered the committee’s questions. The purpose of the project is, on the one hand, to improve the flood situation in the center of the village of kirchaich and, on the other hand, to improve the appearance and thus the quality of life in the center of the village by means of suitable measures. The discharge capacity of the aurach is to be increased by suitable measures in order to reduce frequent flooding at the edge of the eastern part of the village. At the same time, the existing muhlbach is to be abandoned as such, since the kotzmuhle no longer uses the water of the muhlbach and no water rights exist any longer.

Ebern traffic-calmed with immediate effect

Ebern traffic-calmed with immediate effect

" Oans, zwoa, triple", mayor robert herrmann said at friday's ceremony. He alluded to the soccer giants bayern munchen, but conceded that "we don't want to put too fine a point on it, but for the city of ebern it does have a rough significance: today we can celebrate the completion of three projects." Heibt: ebern celebrated the redesign of the neubruckentorstrabe and the parking lot in the muhlenviertel and thus started the traffic-calmed zone in the old town.

Concept takes time
Tree removal and traffic interfere with the living environment of people, of residents and of businesses. As robert herrmann appreciated above all patience and understanding during the construction period. Perhaps this also motivated mrs. Ebner, a resident of neubruckentorstrabe, to approach the city leader on the sidelines of the ceremony and complain a bit about the signage. In their opinion, it would have been good to set the portal signage a little differently. So, she told the mayor, the vehicles were driven past the houses at a rough speed for another 75 meters and only then slowed down. Conversely, the residents get to hear the throttle as it goes out. Mayor robert herrmann reassured the crowd, saying the traffic-calming concept needs time to mature; surely some things still need to take shape.

Miniature golf: every stroke a new adventure

Miniature golf: every stroke a new adventure

Only a dark corridor leads between the wooden blocks to the hole. A young man tries the felt track. But he doesn't quite make it: the ball bounces off one of the obstacles. The player has to try again.

Pascal zeller is particularly skilled. He hits the hole with just one shot on many courses. The 18-year-old is currently the pride and joy of the MGC bamberg: he recently took part in the youth world championships in bad munder near hanover with the national youth team.

Great soloists, lively show

Great soloists, lively show

Numerous listeners accepted the invitation to the "dammerschoppen" and enjoyed the excellent food and drink provided by the buchbacher blasmusik, before enjoying the expressive sounds of the "bochbicher gaudi musik" to listen. The guests were surprised right at the beginning, when – behind the closed curtain – the audience could hear the warm-up and the musicians were already on stage. So the first hoax was already successful and the "ice" broken to the audience, when they turned off the cd-player.

Musically the seven blechblasers opened the evening with the piece "it’s nice to be with you", which they also immediately sang at the top of their lungs. With the piece "trara, es brennt" (trara, it’s burning) host and tenor horn player sebastian weigelt buried all the guests and especially the fan club from lower saxony, which had traveled especially for the musical highlight. The same goes for the trumpeter and flugelhorn player of the group, maximilian klug. The musician had traveled over 500 kilometers to perform his "gaudi musik" at the annual dammerschoppen to take part.

Fools from the orient conquer hochstadt

Fools from the orient conquer hochstadt

The children ambitiously snatched the candy that flew from the cars. And even the policemen threw substitutes and got confetti in the face for it.

One of the central topics was the planned and much-discussed burgerwindpark. Both the SPD and the hochstadt automobile club decorated their cars with wind turbines. The AC drew thereby, with view of past experiences, a clear balance: "ADAC: done. Wind farm: work in progress".
