Search for alternatives to spruce

Search for alternatives to spruce

The frankenwald will be a mixed forest of fir, douglas fir, beech and pedunculate oak in a few decades – maybe even much earlier. Perhaps exotic-sounding tree species such as giant live tree, atlas and lebanon cedar, sweet chestnut and tree hazel can still be found in the woods between rennsteig and obermain. The spruce will no longer exist because it has fallen victim to climate change. It is too warm and too dry. The bark beetle will have killed the weak spruces.

In parts of the coburg region, the temperature increase is now as far advanced as predicted for the frankenwald in decades. The spruce is no longer to be found there in the coburg region.

What does jorg dittwar actually do??

What does jorg dittwar actually do??

Paint the doors, clean out the cellar and get the garden ready for spring. "Now we finally find the time", says jorg dittwar and laughs. The corona pandemic forces the 150-time bundesliga player, who now lives in dietersdorf (coburg district), to devote himself to his own four walls and not to the kicking youngsters. The 56-year-old is responsible for the youth teams of the SG ebersdorf/grobgarnstadt/frohnlach as athletic director. Dittwar is also involved with his former club, the 1.FC nurnberg. With herbert harrer, dittwar has been responsible for the FCN’s inclusion school project since april 2017 and holds a session once a week with the workshops at the valznerweiher sports park, where people with and without disabilities play soccer together.

Dittwar is passionate about helping people with disabilities. Already in his days as a player at the club (1987 to 1994) the trained painter helped out in workshops for the disabled. From 2009 to 2017 he was national coach of fubball players with intellectual impairment (national team ID). "It is very fun to work with these people", says dittwar. When the german disabled sports association (DBS) is looking for a new national coach, he is made aware of the vacancy. "The position was advertised and I was asked if I would be interested in applying. But I did not apply to be able to call myself national coach." Dittwar, who had already completed further training in the care of the handicapped, finally prevailed over four competitors. To play in the national team ID, an IQ below 75 must be established. Because the tests are not standardized worldwide, there is a large performance gap in the national teams. "For the netherlands, players who could play in the bavarian and regional leagues in germany are playing", says dittwar. For germany, on the other hand, there were players who played at the level of the lower divisions. "It’s like 18-year-olds playing against ten-year-olds."

What is stored?

What is stored?

Mayor gerhard theuer tried to be objective when talking about "landfill site 1 (DK1)" at the castle meeting on tuesday evening. "The whole thing is only an announcement of the company schicker, and schicker is cooperative", he emphasized.

As soon as there are exact ideas and plans, there will be a public meeting with schicker. Nevertheless, he did not hide the suspicion that the company wanted to expand its originally presented construction intention on the company's own storage area by successive additional purchases of flat areas considerably in the direction of industrial areas and development. This has already been discussed negatively in the municipal council.

Vestenbergsgreuth: a community without financial worries

Happy vestenbergsgreuth! The market community can look to the future with confidence thanks to its income from business and income taxes. The budget for the current year, which was unanimously approved at the municipal council meeting on monday evening, does not require any borrowing, despite substantial investments.

Very good for a municipality paying only 1559 inhabitants appear with 940000 euro also the incomes from the income tax.

Opel meeting with 10,000 visitors: konigsfeld becomes a pit lane

Opel meeting with 10,000 visitors: Konigsfeld becomes a pit lane

With the course of the 11. Chairman gerald kohler is satisfied with the results of the first meeting of the opelfreunde konigsfeld. The 29 members managed the festival, however, only with the help of about 250 helpers from the village and the surrounding area, for which kohler expressed his best thanks. The 1000 mark of arrived vehicles was not quite reached, but otherwise the about 10000 guests got their money’s worth with the event. Konigsfeld itself has only 550 inhabitants in comparison.

On the land there was a mixture of camp and cowboy atmosphere, coupled of course with the smell of carburetors and tire and engine smells. But that is part of such an association of car, pardon opel fans. Since each of them also likes to screw something on his ride, there are everywhere "technical discussions" on the agenda. Their part contribute to it the cars, which place themselves to the evaluations. The engine is the first thing to be scrutinized, of course, and when a row of red LED lamps lights up under the open hood, and when the wing doors go up and the deck sinks behind the seats, not only the eyes of the proud owner light up, but also those of the surrounding spectators. The stewards naturally remain cool and note everything down in their lists.

The fee-dependent independence march

The fee-dependent independence march

I’m sorry, but at the moment I can’t find anything that would meet the 25. February connects with the topic that is on my perpetual wagner calendar today. "Wagner and america it’s simply because – for family reasons – i’m just getting into the u.S.A. Find. More precisely in phoenix/arizona, where the majestic saguaro cactus is at home.

America was a recurring theme for richard wagner. Not only in his theoretical writings, but also as an alternative, as a lifeline for the ever-present money worries. Already at the beginning of 1852, he thought in some letters of his possibilities in america, later, longer concert trips were not only considered, but often also requested. And to his wife cosima he even said one evening, regretfully, that if they had not both come together fifteen years too late, they would have founded a town of wahnfried in america.
