What is the result: everything revolves around franconia. Germany, europe, the world. It could not be more central.A true melting pot, a transit station for dozens of nationalities, a reception center for a wide variety of cultures. It all came together here. What had to be its immediate impact on the franken. The tribe that settled here after the last migration and since then has steadfastly refused to leave the area around the rivers main and regnitz. What for?

At most at vacation times the franke leaves for a short time its ancestral domicile. But only to find out that it’s not nearly as good elsewhere as it is here. Where the best savoy cabbage is served with roast pork, where the quality of the sausages has reached a level that is unattainable in old bavaria, and where the schaufala are a poem. Where, of course, the best beer in the world is served and a wine is served that would have made the secret councilor goethe click his tongue. For the franken, franken is – well, let’s just say it – paradise par excellence.

Concerns chairman fred sommer has not. "It certainly won't be easy, but I can't imagine that we'll be in a relegation spot at the end of the season, he is convinced. "There's just too much potential in our team for that."
The kronach team has repeatedly demonstrated this potential in the 19 games it has played so far, not least against the top teams. Sommer recalls in particular the goalless draw against top-ranked ZV thierstein and the 2-1 win at third-placed kirchenlaibach-speichersdorf.

And he also mentions the clear 1:5 defeat in the catch-up game at FC steinbach-durrenwaid. "We clearly had to drive, missed a penalty at 2:1 and had a shot at the post immediately afterwards. And in the end we lost 1:5", argues the chairman.
In most of the games, the FCK's major shortcoming became clear: although many chances were created, there was a huge lack of exploitation of them. "We had several penalties and I don't think we converted any of them; that shows everything," he says, says summer.

The youngest has outstripped his well-known colleagues. Vinzenz geiger has catapulted himself to second place in the seefeld triple in the nordic combined with a brilliant 10-kilometer run.

Behind the once again victorious japanese akito watabe, the 20-year-old will start the decisive day on sunday with two jumps and the unusual 15 kilometers, which he has never run in competition before.

Six percent more pay for the 12,000 or so employees in the footwear and sporting goods industry: this is the demand that the IG BCE is making in the collective bargaining for the industry, which begins today in wurzburg. "Employees cannot live on air and love of the brand alone", says IG-BCE negotiator frieder weibenborn in a press release. "It’s time for the industry to make its premium demands on its own pay policy as well." While above-average returns are the order of the day in the sporting goods industry, collective wages lag behind those in other industries.

Double-digit profit

"A six percent demand is more than justified in an industry that is doing well", says IG-BCE negotiator weibenborn. Adidas, for example, has just increased its profits by double digits. The dax group alone has a good 7,000 employees in this round of collective bargaining, both at the headquarters in herzogenaurach and in the logistics centers and stores. Other companies that are being negotiated for include puma, lloyd or ara.

Theophil steinbrenner is an artist, and as an artist he cannot and will not part with certain works. And of course, works of art should not be allowed to rot in a dark corner. They need the right "framework. Exactly this offered the wall of the old fortified tower in sommerach. For 25 years, not only the works of steinbrenner have found a venerable place here. It has also become a place for cultural encounters.

Mr. Steinbrenner, as a sculptor, painter, draftsman and ceramist, you have many opportunities to express yourself. Is there a form you prefer for certain issues, or how do you help decide the means by which an idea should be implemented??
Steinbrenner: I naturally have my favorite materials and shapes. These are, on the one hand, the bronze sculpture in connection with the stone found on site and, on the other hand, representational sculptures, regardless of whether they are people or animals.

Who doesn't know the cult band "old fashioneds"?, which made a name for itself throughout the county in the 70s and 80s and still has a loyal following today? The old rockers have been around as long as the rolling stones not on stage yet, but still. This year they can look back on 45 years of existence.

Now the band takes its place again on the stage and will, as all the years before, play at the kirchweih in neubrunn to dance for young and old.

Michael ruckel has never experienced anything like this in his almost 20 years as commander of the wiesentheid fire department.

Only recently, he reported at the general meeting, an emergency doctor had thanked him and his troop for the good and professional work that the fire brigade had done in an accident. He passed on the praise to his comrades, who went out 96 times in the past year, an average of almost twice a week.

The unbroken success of the jakobsweg shows that pilgrimage is the new form of vacationing. And the tourism figures prove how much people like to choose french-speaking switzerland as a vacation destination. With the french marienweg, a bicycle pilgrimage route, it will soon be possible to combine both in the district of forchheim: pilgrimage and a stay in the great outdoors.

"You can ride the marienweg by bike. Many also run and pick out sections", female pastor andreas hornung. He likes to ride his bike himself. Since his vacation is coming up, he can well imagine being on the way along the marian way. On the other hand, domkapitular norbert jung has already cycled the entire 900-kilometer-long marienweg, which up to now has only existed in lower franconia, and asked himself again and again: "why not here??" As head of the pilgrimage office of the archdiocese, he also knows that pilgrimage is a trend and that people are looking for individual offers.

A father tormented, abused and finally murdered his 19-day-old son for hours out of jealousy – the monchengladbach regional court sentenced him to life in prison for his actions. The judges also found that the 26-year-old was particularly guilty.

For some, the proposed changes go too far and too fast, and they fear for the identity of the catholic, he said tuesday morning in fulda at the opening service of the autumn plenary assembly.

"But many also expect movement in the church, and they suffer from the fact that some issues have been on the church agenda for so long." It was not surprising that some people became restless or impatient.
