Many people in konigsberg are concerned about the accessibility of the cobblestones in the old town. Older people in particular have a hard time on the uneven ground. Even moving around with a rollator is not easy in some places. In order to improve the accessibility of the old town pavement through structural measures, such as the installation of a walking lane for wheelchairs and walkers, city councilor frank slawik had submitted a written request for this topic to be discussed in the city council.

In this regard, as he informed the city council at the meeting on tuesday evening, mayor claus bittenbrunn held initial preliminary discussions with the lower monument preservation authority (district office), the monument preservation authority in schloss seehof and with the government of lower franconia at a meeting at the district office. It became clear that the development of a comprehensive network of paths would be best planned by means of an urban development inspection in order to obtain subsidies. Because, according to mayor bittenbrunn, "the whole thing will not be cheap." however, it would require comprehensive planning and implementation as an overall project lasting several years. It is a question of financial resources that the city has not had at its disposal in recent years.

For an application to the city building requirement, in addition to a historic preservation application with a detailed description of the mabnahme, resilient cost calculations by a planning office are required. This means that, in order to start planning, the city council had to award both a planning contract in the first stages of performance to an experienced and proven office. In addition, at least a rough cost estimate had to be presented.

In a well-founded debate, the city council stressed the urgency of the mabnahme also in view of the increasing number of elderly people. In conclusion, it was proposed to the body that the administration of the city ask municipalities with historic paving for design offices that have produced there, to the satisfaction of the municipality, the citizens and the preservation of monuments, the construction of sidewalks with flat materials in a cobblestone area. The city council agreed to this proposal.

The disposal of excavated earth and the transfer of the obligation to the district was the subject of another item on the agenda. Citizens of konigsberg repeatedly report that they have difficulties in disposing of the excavated earth produced during a construction project. The acceptance of excavated earth at the county landfill is also refused on the grounds that the municipality itself still has the obligation to operate a landfill. It is true that with the reform of the municipalities, the obligation to dispose of and deposit excavated earth was transferred from the individual districts back to the municipalities. In the following years, the city of konigsberg therefore operated a landfill for excavated earth in the hellingen district of the city. However, this landfill site was closed down and the landfill was reopened by a decision dated 29 june 2009. September 2010 the reclamation approved.

Attempts by the city to find suitable land within the city limits and to build a landfill have since failed due to a lack of suitable land and, above all, due to the current requirements for the construction and monitoring of a landfill during operation and, above all, due to the requirements for aftercare following the end of operation.

Now the district of habberge is in the process of planning two new landfills for excavated material within the district. One each in the southern and northern area. However, only the administrations and citizens of the municipalities that have transferred the obligation to create and operate excavated earth landfills to the district and thus also legally participate in their creation have the right to deliver excavated earth. Which will also result in a financial contribution to the creation of the network.

Since konigsberg does not have the possibility to build its own landfill, the administration proposed to the city council that the district of habberge be responsible for this task. Because, according to claus bittenbrunn, "we can't do it alone. This resolution was adopted without a dissenting vote.

The city council confirmed stefan musik as the newly elected commander and andreas holzer as the newly elected second commander of the hellingen volunteer fire department. Mayor bittenbrunn honored retired commander rudolf gutjahr and his deputy willi holzer, who held the office for 41 years.

At the end of the public meeting, it was announced that, at the request of the city, an increase in the subsidy for the "village square with pergola" project would be granted in the district of holzhausen, a maximum of 451,000 euros was granted by the office for rural development.

Mexico's self-appointed supreme wizard has predicted a victory for the el tri against germany in a ceremony.

He ordered that the mexican national team will win the first four games and reach a very good place, said antonio vazquez alba fogged by smoke in mexico city. On wednesday, the champion wizard shared a video of the world cup ritual, which he performed in style wearing a mexican fubball jersey, on twitter. For the match against germany he predicted a result of 1:0.

"Ometeotl, that's the way i like it, that's the way i want it, that's the way it is, that's the way it will be," said the so-called "brujo mayor" in the direction of the aztec god who is supposed to bring luck to the team. But the mexican team will not be world champions, says the wizard. According to jungbauer, the quarterfinals will be the end of the road for el tri. The winner comes from a romance country. It could be brazil, portugal or spain, says the "brujo mayor" – but the world championship winner is not from europe, says vazquez alba.

The man with the long beard is known in mexico for his predictions on politics and sports. He also made predictions about the outcome of the presidential election in mexico on 1 january. July. He also reportedly predicted the arrest of drug lord joaquin "el chapo" guzman, according to local media. Before the U.S. Election, however, he declared donald trump would not be the republican nominee. It is not known how high the error rate of the wizard is.

"It would be a coup de grace if the countries, which have already been able to realize the legal claim with the existing means, were now to demand an additional payment," she told the "frankfurter allgemeine sonntagszeitung". "We must use the resources where there is still a lack of space."Then the legal entitlement to a daycare place, which was fixed by law in august 2013, could also be realized.

Bavaria's family minister christine haderthauer (CSU) promptly protested. "The federal government must distribute its funds equally. It can't be that the countries that have invested massive amounts of their own funds are the stupid ones compared to others that rely solely on federal funds," she said in munich on sunday. Bavaria has in the meantime "almost doubled the federal funds received with state funds in order to meet the legal requirement, and is only because of this at the top of the nationwide expansion dynamic". The federal government must honor these efforts "and therefore take into account the number of new places created with state funds when distributing its funds.

Schroder accused countries of keeping important data under wraps. "Some countries seal off their daycare numbers from us as if it were a state secret."At last count, there was a shortage of 130,000 childcare places for under-threes nationwide – 600,000 places are already available. From next year, parents have a legal right to have their children looked after.

Schroder, however, believes it is possible to offer the necessary daycare places. "The whole of germany needs 780,000 seats, this spring there was still a shortfall of 160,000. Between march 2011 and may 2012, 100,000 places were created, and the countries have 14 months to fill the rest," the minister told the "rheinische post. "The lander must again clearly make tempo. But they can make it."The CDU politician announced that she would call for a stronger kindergarten in the company. "Here we want to create even more incentives. I see a huge potential there."Many cities didn't have the space in the city center for more daycare centers – but businesses in the commercial area did.

The german business community, however, refuses to be a "cleaner for the federal government, the states and the municipalities," as DIHK head hans heinrich driftmann told the newspaper "welt" (monday). Lack of childcare places has become an increasingly serious problem, reported the president of the german chamber of industry and commerce, citing a survey by his association. Nine out of ten companies expected a quick solution, not only for the care of under-threes, but also for schoolchildren.

The word "historical has been wearing thin lately. From the historic victory in the bundesliga to the historic vote in the bundestag, the superlative must hold sway. But you should only call something historical what will one day be written in the history books. The trial of beate zschape, which is to begin on monday, undoubtedly belongs in this category.

It is not just a question of the guilt or innocence of the sole survivor of the zwickau terror cell. Or just to wallow after the NSU's unprecedented series of murders. The state's failure in the fight against right-wing terror is coming into focus – and not just abroad.

For more than 13 years, beate zschape, uwe mundlos and uwe bohnhardt murdered their way through germany. Ten deaths can be attributed to the trio; a german policewoman, a greek and eight turkish citizens of the state died between 2000 and 2006, literally executed with shots from the same pistol.
The only survivor of the trio after the suicide of the two persons, beate zschape, and some of the NSU's helpers must stand trial before the higher regional court in munich. The charge against zschape is murder. It is a purely circumstantial trial, because there is neither a confession nor eyewitness reports of direct involvement of the suspected terrorist from the right-wing camp. The accused has so far remained silent.

The NSU trial is unprecedented – historically – even before the reading of the 500-page indictment. The crimes of the NSU also have a political dimension: investigative committees of the bundestag and various state parliaments, including one in munich, are looking into the actions of the neo-nazis and the inactivity and inability of the authorities to get to the bottom of the murders.

They were very close to it, even before the series of murders began, when the trio had not yet gone underground. At that time, the various federal german intelligence services had deployed 24 V-men – spies – in the national socialist underground and its surroundings. Among them was kai D. From upper franconia, who "looked after the right" for the bavarian office for the protection of the constitution and in this scene apparently did much more than just observe.

Reconstruction helpers from france
D. As a computer expert, he played a major role in setting up the right-wing information channels and was a member of the "franzische heimatschutz" in coburg probably also one of the midwives of the "thuringer heimatschutz", in the environment of which the NSU terrorists became radicalized.

Today D. Disappeared, the constitutional protection plays down its role. It is striking that D. Like many other spies in the right-wing camp, "switched off" by the intelligence services was when mundlos, bohnhardt and zschape went underground. It is at least annoying that the sources of information dried up just at the time when they had been particularly important. What the intelligence services and their spies already knew, how close they were to the NSU, will probably never become fully public, the investigation committees can still meet for a long time.

Blackened passages in reports and mountains of shredded files have shaken confidence in the rule of law. This is another reason why the zschape trial is so explosive and historic: the state will be in the dock in munich starting on monday.

Even after the first fatal shootings, the authorities were close to the mordern. The most important trace was the murder weapon, a ceska zbrojovka 83, weapon number 034678, caliber 7.65 mm. The pistol is a mass product from czech production, used in large numbers by armed forces and the police. However, the weapon used by the NSU to execute its victims was a rarity, as our newspaper has learned from investigators.

The weapon was a rarity
The pistol of the NSU killers, however, had a silencer and was only manufactured in this special version in very small series. Most of these weapons were distributed in the former eastern bloc countries as gifts to guests of the state, and their remains are very well documented.

For the "bosporus" special commission the police, who were deployed after the first murders in nurnberg, were the hebe trace. "This was like a confession letter, the perpetrators wanted to be recognized", say connoisseurs of the "bosporus-investigation files.

In the end, eight possible weapons remained that must have been smuggled into germany via switzerland. But because the police in switzerland were looking for gun buyers from the milieu of the turkish mafia and pursued a racist background at most on the edge, the hot trail soon went cold. A "historical" one chance was lost.

A ruling in favor of a 16-year-old syrian's family moving to germany reignites the debate on refugee policy at christmas.

According to information from the ARD capital city studio, the ruling by the berlin administrative court unexpectedly became legally binding on friday. Aubenminister sigmar gabriel (SPD) buried the ruling.

Accordingly, the court requested the foreign office to allow the refugee, who had been severely traumatized, to be joined by his parents and siblings for reasons of the child's well-being. The juvenile had only been granted subsidiary protection, i.E. Limited protection. The foreign office withdrew an appeal.

For refugees with limited protection, family reunification is suspended until march. The suspension is controversial. The dispute was also allowed to complicate the exploratory talks between union and SPD. The union insists on a further suspension, the SPD wants to end it.

The refugee organization pro asyl considered the berlin case to be a landmark case. "The ruling has fundamental significance beyond the individual case," managing director gunter burkhardt told the german press agency. "We consider the separation of families to be contrary to the constitution and hostile to integration."

The juvenile had come to the country with a cousin in 2015. Because of his traumatization, his guardian thomas henke wanted to obtain a hard-case decision several times, according to ARD. He had been rejected by the foreign office. Henke told ARD: "it is simply unimaginable that it has happened so close to christmas."

Gabriel told the "tagesschau": "we as social democrats have always said that the united nations convention on the rights of the child is of particular importance – just as we know in general that it is naturally bad when minors are here without parents." the union and the interior ministry often had a different view. "The fact that we are now getting clarity is a good story."

CDU vice chairman thomas strobl urges a more drastic limitation of the influx of refugees than the union has demanded so far. "I'm working hard to get the immigration figures back to normal – and i'm not even thinking of the much-discussed 200,000 per year," baden-wurttemberg's interior minister told "heilbronner stimme" (saturday). The goal should rather be the number from 2012. "At that time, around 65,000 refugees arrived. This number has not brought us to the limits of our capacity and has been accepted by the public."CDU and CSU agreed in october that a maximum of 200,000 refugees should be admitted per year.

In the first eleven months of this year, the federal office for migration and refugees (BAMF) received 207,157 asylum applications.

Strobl demanded that the bundestag quickly demand the suspension of family reunification for subsidiary protection beneficiaries. Otherwise, the number of arrivals will rise again in april 2018. Burkhardt countered that the numbers resulting from a resumption of family reunification should remain manageable.

The theme also plays a role in the churches at christmas. Hamburger and lubeck bishop kirsten fehrs called on politicians to make family reunification possible again. At the same time, she spoke out against the deportation of rejected asylum applicants to unsafe countries of origin. The empathy of christmas also includes the message: "that people should not be deported to a country that is not safe". That family reunification is possible."

The diakonie hessen and the protestant church in hesse and nassau caused a stir: postcards show nativity scene motifs in which individual figures of the "holy family" are missing. This is to point out the "dramatic situation of many fugitives", who sometimes have to stay separated from their parents for years.

The driver came this morning, thursday, 29. August, shortly before the train romershag into the skid. A traffic jam formed for a short time because the road was fully blocked. Later, traffic was diverted past the accident site on a single lane.

Accident after overtaking manover
the driver – a young man from the altlandkreis – skidded just before the romershag railroad crossing. According to police, he presumably lost control of his car while rejoining the road after an overtaking maneuver. Then he got onto the shoulder, skidded and knocked himself over. The jeep finally came to rest on the opposite carriageway on the passenger side.

"The first responders reacted in an exemplary manner", said michael krug, commander of the fire department bad bruckenau, at the scene of the event. They had pulled the slightly injured driver out of his vehicle through the trunk and regulated the traffic. The driver was taken by ambulance to the hospital in bad bruckenau. The fire department, which was on duty with 15 people, took over the traffic regulation. The comrades from schondra also jolted out, but were able to leave again immediately. The police estimate the material damage to the vehicle at 10.000 euro to.

Salvage with obstacles
a small mishap occurred during the recovery of the crashed car. After the men hoisted the car back onto its four wheels, the car rolled downhill toward the railroad overpass. With their combined strength, the men brought the vehicle to a halt – then they first applied the handbrake.

The details from the indictment are almost unbearable – and give an impression of the suffering of the victims of the nationwide abuse complex that began in bergisch gladbach in north rhine-westphalia.

For months, investigators have been analyzing huge amounts of data to find more perpetrators and victims of the unbelievable child abuse. The first trial in the country began on wednesday at the regional court in monchengladbach. Two 39-year-old men are charged with 79 counts of sexual abuse of children, among other things.

Between 2015 and november 2019, the two germans allegedly repeatedly raped two girls – one his daughter, the other his niece. According to the indictment, the men got to know each other through an internet forum for padophiles and then allegedly met regularly in order to commit some of the crimes together. The abuse, which lasted for years, was part of the daily routine of the girls, who were between six and eleven years old at the time of the crime.

"The defendants established a system based on reward and habit," the prosecutor said. The children had regularly received money and other gifts to make them compliant. Sometimes the little brother of one of the girls was also present during the deeds. The defendants from krefeld and viersen followed the more than one hour long reading of the indictment with bowed heads, one of them wept. It remained open on the first day of the trial whether they would like to comment on the accusations during the course of the trial.

The mannerists are also charged with the production, distribution and possession of child pornography. They are said to have made videos and photos of their deeds and exchanged them – in part with other chat partners. Investigators found tens of thousands of these images and films on the defendants' cell phones and computers. Such chats brought the police finally on their track.

Last october, officers searched the apartment of a 42-year-old man in bergisch gladbach, germany. There they found huge amounts of child pornographic material, which dozens of specialists of the colonn police are still working on today. Even experienced investigators had to struggle with the violent images. Koln police chief uwe jacob said at the time he was "stunned and dismayed in light of the horrific acts".

The 42-year-old was on the move in numerous chat forums in which padophiles were cavorting – and in some cases also left clues about their identity. Since then, the investigators have been meticulously searching for further perpetrators and victims with the help of special software.

In north rhine-westphalia alone, police are now investigating more than 20 suspects, nine of whom are in custody. In addition, almost 40 suspects from other federal states have been identified so far, according to a recent report by the NRW ministry of justice to the state parliament's legal committee. 31 victims identified so far. The figures could be much more rough – not all data have been evaluated by far yet.

On two consecutive days, two small children lost their lives in tragic accidents at daycare centers in north rhine-westphalia.

On monday, a two-year-old died during naptime at a facility in gelsenkirchen, germany. The investigators assume that he could have suffocated after he had trapped his head in a bunk bed.

On tuesday afternoon, another tragic accident occurred on the grounds of a daycare center in lemgo (lippe district), in which a five-year-old boy was injured so severely that he died. According to police so far, he had been playing with a vehicle trailer with a tilting bed parked on the aubengeland and had become trapped between the tilting bed and the trailer's chassis. The emergency services were able to free the boy, but he died of his injuries at the scene of the accident.

Investigations started

Police are investigating after both tragic accidents. In particular, the exact circumstances that led to the death of the five-year-old in lemgo were initially unclear, according to a police spokesman. Criminal investigation is in its early stages. It is still unclear why the two-by-three-meter trailer was parked on the grounds of the daycare center in the lieme suburb of lemgo in the first place. It has been impounded for closer examination. The exact course of events is also still unclear, it said on tuesday evening.

Rescue workers were alerted at 12:20 p.M. They were able to free the boy, but were unable to save him. Relatives of the boy, kindergarten children, employees of the daycare center and rescue workers involved in the operation were subsequently cared for by chaplains.

The exact cause of death of the child in the gelsenkirchen facility has not yet been confirmed by an autopsy, as a city spokesman said on tuesday. The posture in which the boy was found, however, strengthened the suspicion that he had been trapped and suffocated.

The boy had lain down in the bunk bed during his midday nap and had obviously pushed up the floor plate of the bed above him. Then his head was probably caught between the bed frame and the floor slab of the upper bed, described the city spokesman. The whole thing happened without a murmur. The educators sitting just outside the quiet room had not heard a thing.

The bunk beds are high quality furniture specially designed for day care centers. The city has similar beds in use in many daycare centers. All had been examined, everywhere the floor plate of the upper bed was solid – only the unfortunate bed apparently not, said the spokesperson. The bed is more than ten years old.

Educators had found the boy lifeless on monday after a midday nap in the facility. He had been resuscitated but died shortly afterwards.

A building project in the kriegenbrunn district of erlangen in the immediate vicinity of the st. John the baptist. The proportions of the new building do not really fit in with the medieval church building. In addition, the opinion of the landesdenkmalrat (regional council for the preservation of historical monuments) was not obtained for the construction at a sensitive location in the center of the village, critics complain.

On a site east of the church, bruckweiherstrabe 6, a residential stable house was built as a daylohnerhaus, presumably as a result of a division of the inheritance around 1750. The original two-zoned and two-rowed barn had to give way to a new building in 1910. The house is located directly on the road as it is often the case.

The plan is now to build a funffamilienwohnhaus with a high gable roof on the site. For this purpose the three-sided courtyard is to be demolished. In contrast to the current arrangement, the new residential building is no longer to be located on the street, but is to be built up against the church wall and thus also up against the church. This church is the only sacral building in the urban area of erlangen that can be called a village church.

The massive choir tower was probably built in the 14th. Century, the longhouse may be attributed to the 15th century. Belonging to the XVII century. More serious repairs were necessary, especially after the thirty years war, in addition to further tree removals in several centuries.

The three-story, square tower with a pointed, pyramid-shaped roof contains a small winged altar with a mother-anna self-thrust from around 1500 in the basement on a sandstone mensa. The choir stalls from the 16th century have also been preserved. Century. The longhouse is in line with the tower and is covered by a flat plank ceiling. The longhouse is lit by three narrow windows.

Paintings from the second half of the 15th century have been preserved on the longhouse walls. Several saints, a madonna in a radiant wreath and a crucifixion scene. An unadorned westempore completes the equipment. A part of the churchyard fortification has also been preserved.

The low proportions of the church tower are clearly overshadowed by the new building. Due to the cubature and the ridge height of the planned building, the visual and artistic appearance of the church will be strongly impaired.

Nevertheless, the city of erlangen went ahead with the building project without waiting for the opinion of the landesdenkmalrat (state council for the preservation of historical monuments), which is indispensable for a building project at such a sensitive location.

That the cab supply in the coarse county town is patchy at off-peak times and weekends was recently shown by the case of a couple from Fulda. The physically ailing pensioners tried for 90 minutes to get a ride, only to end up hitchhiking.

Hotel director Hans Markwalder can also tell you a thing or two about the gaps. "We have a guest who comes to us frequently and we lose him because at six in the morning it is not possible to get a cab to the train station.", says the boss of the hotel sonnenhugel in reiterswiesen. He had, however, the necessary rental car and personal requisition licenses. Before the hotel loses the regular guest, he will rather bring the guest personally to the train.

Supply in the early morning

Markwalder argues about the situation, but not so much about the cab companies and the drivers. His criticism is directed at the bad kissingen district office as the approval authority. The emphasized against this newspaper that no supply problems were known. "This statement is not true", contradicts the hotelier. He refers to a correspondence with the road traffic office, in which the sonnenhugel already pointed out the situation in April. Since the spring of 2017, the hotel has been noticing "that the request for a cab between ten o'clock in the evening and seven o'clock in the morning is no longer guaranteed". At least on weekends, cabs are available until the closing time of the discotheques. He is not alone in this, other hoteliers and innkeepers from the city area describe the situation similarly.

Markwalder shows understanding for the cab operators. If a company has to have a driver available at six o'clock in the morning and then has no more customers and therefore has to charge extra at the end of the day, it is understandable that no one drives at that time. Nevertheless: cab traffic is part of the public transport system (opnv). A cab concession includes a duty to transport and the hotel director does not see this fulfilled. The existing situation is incalculable. "This is not a requirement for a guest who needs to catch a train", emphasizes Markwalder.

Enforcing the obligation to transport is the task of the district administration. "The state has a clear mission, he finds. He criticizes the state for being very rigid when it comes to imposing regulations on the economy that businesses have to adhere to. "But when he has to fulfill his own tasks, he is no longer so strong."

District office wants to examine the situation

Jurgen Metz, head of public relations at the district office and district developer, emphasizes when asked that, from the point of view of district development, there have been no known problems with cab traffic in bad kissingen so far. "In fact, the responsible transport department has received isolated complaints", he communicates. The incident with the pensioner couple from fulda, however, was not one of them. "The complaints we have received have been dealt with. The companies concerned have been heard", he reports further. For reasons of confidentiality, the district office could not give any further information about the result of the processing of the case.

"All in all, based on the current situation, we will take a close look at the situation in the cab industry, conduct an inventory and then decide whether and, if so, what specific measures should be taken by the road traffic authorities", announces Metz.
