“It’s the same thing that hurts”

Questions of a thoughtful franken, freely after B. Brecht so the story I"m telling you today is not from my friend heiner, who is a real frank, but from heiner himself, that is, from me. Because it"s about the beda, the gabelein, who would tell the stories otherwise.

Because the beda had made us a lot of problems, even though he didn"t know anything else, if you want to believe him. He had only known that he would never be able to. So not only not as a school principal, he already quit a few years ago, but as a member of the home town association. But now there is something less pleasant to see. The beda – or bedrus, as his friend soong – makes us an archer and worry in life, a weng a freid is in ferne ferne grudschd.

“Justice for harambe” – anger over killing of gorilla in us zoo

The death of a gorilla at the zoo in the american city of cincinnati has attracted the attention of hundreds of thousands of animal lovers beyond the u.S.A. Zoo staff had found the 17-year-old "harambe" in the zoo shot dead on saturday after a young boy climbed over the protective gelander, fell into a water ditch around the gorilla facility and was then dragged through the water by the silver rhino. The four year old was then rescued and came away with the scare.

The storm of protest via the internet and a media frenzy in the u.S. That even upstaged the presidential campaign forced the zoo management to defend its action again on monday. The anger, however, was not only directed against the zoo, which according to the critics was too radical, but also against the parents of the boy.

Starting signal after 25 years

Yesterday at noon, the official starting signal was given for what, at 3.8 million euros, has been the most expensive single project in the district of bamberg in recent years: the widening of the district road that runs through the buttenheim district of stackendorf. A project about which the decision-makers have been racking their brains for the past 25 years…
As proof, county chief gunther denzler had the copy of the FT article of 28. November 1987. As can be read there, mdl philipp vollkommer also made a stop in stackendorf during his district tour. There, mayor friedrich kauer explained that they were striving for a new road layout for the local thoroughfare in order to achieve more traffic safety.

The problem: the deichselbach practically divides the county road BA 12, the roadway for one direction is to the west, the other to the east of the creek. On the western side there is no sidewalk. All local traffic, including heavy goods traffic, will travel on the divided state highway. As denzler recalled, there had been efforts to merge the two halves of the roadway, and consequently to "move" the stream. As denzler explained, a lot of water flowed down during the planning process, and plans were made back and forth. "Now the stream stays where it is", noted denzler.

How a us war hero landed in coburg county

How a us war hero landed in coburg county

The reference to the jubilarian came from florida: "walter schramm, a friend of ours, will die on the 10th anniversary of his death. May 90 years old, wrote heidrun tommasi and sam hamontree to the coburger tageblatt. The overview of schramm’s curriculum vitae they gave aroused curiosity: at the age of 15, the german was captured by the russians and later found work with the american military in bamberg. With the help of an officer, he came to the U.S. In 1953, where he became a helicopter pilot. Two tours of duty in vietnam brought him high honors.

This is how it all began

"Yes, that’s all true", schramm confirmed on request last thursday. His life story, which the rustic war veteran then describes in a personal interview lasting over 90 minutes, was to last for two lifetimes. Born in 1930 in bautzen, saxony, schramm experienced the consequences of the bombing of dresden firsthand as a 14-year-old in 1945. "A shock, so schramm. From school, the young man was assigned to disaster service and suffered from fume poisoning. After the end of the siege of his hometown by the russians, he and many of his peers were integrated into the volkssturm. "At 14, they put us in barracks, trained us on infantry weapons and showed us how to push on tanks", he describes and adds: "today’s youth can’t even imagine that." The atrocities he himself experienced on children were to be increased when, on 19. He was taken prisoner by the russians on april 1945, had to march to sagan in silesia and was interned in the camp there. Even today, he can still hear the screams of the officers who were harassed there by former concentration camp prisoners. "I’m sometimes surprised that all the things I’ve experienced haven’t left me with any lasting damage.", says schramm looking back.

Doctors’ horror scenario: who gets to live, who has to die?

Doctors' horror scenario: who gets to live, who has to die?

In the following weeks, the corona crisis could create a situation for germany’s hospitals that has never been seen before in the history of the federal republic: with intensive care units overloaded, doctors had to decide in the worst case who could live and who had to die.

Fortunately, this is not yet the case anywhere in germany, but the epidemic has not yet reached its peak. A situation like that in italy with overburdened intensive care units must be avoided in germany, but it cannot be ruled out, the head of the robert koch institute (RKI), lothar wieler, recently said. "We do everything to prevent this from happening."

Lange strabe in bamberg: cyclists and car drivers still angry

Lange strabe in bamberg: cyclists and car drivers still angry

It did not take long before our publication was full of comments. The editorial team wanted to know on its bamberg facebook page how the traffic regulation in the lange strabe was received after six months of practice. Have motorists and especially cyclists become accustomed to having to share the busy boulevard at a narrow point?? Is the anger over the banishment of cyclists faded, which had led to many nasty comments and even a wire demo in bamberg?

The rush of opinions rather suggests the opposite. Readers were unabashed in their condemnation of the removal of an apparently functioning bicycle path. Several times there is talk of a sign burger prank. B, for example, finds less flattering words: "the biggest nonsense ever devised. Makes the traffic situation only unnecessarily dangerous for cyclists."
