The blue christian child came high to ross

The blue christian child came high to ross

The female splendor is waiting, but the blue christmas market spread pre-christmas joy even without snow. The highlight of this year was again the appearance of the blue christ child. It was played by savina forster. "I can ride a horse, savina declared herself self-confident and rode through the crowd on the sparkling white horse rashid. Rashid remained calm despite the crowds and the applause. After all, this is not the first time that the proud horse carries the christ child on its back. Rashid and savina knew each other from last year. Savina forster was already playing the role of the baby jesus at that time. "But next year I will probably no longer do it, then I'm too old."

Rehearsed for days
Savina is a dancing mariechen at the kulmbach carnival and is therefore used to performing in front of a large audience. Nevertheless, she was quite excited. For days she rehearsed her prologue. After all, the christ child should not get confused. In a long glittering dress, savina – at the side of mayor frank wilzok – read her opening speech and also liked to be photographed with the little kids. The somewhat coarser children were looking forward to handicrafts with the christ child.
Also in the mupaz the christ child stopped by. The children of the junior academy sold homemade cookies there. The brass ensemble from the wiesent valley, the mixed choir of the church of the resurrection in blaich, the "eintracht blaich" singing society and the kauernburg choral society for a worthy musical setting.
But the "budengassen" were also worth a visit. For there were many novelties to marvel at. Stefanie raps from kulmbach, for example, had homemade christmas trees for the man in her repertoire: with crown corks. "I can also do that with the beer of your choice", grinned the resourceful hobby dressmaker. Christine weimann from kasendorf recognized the trend of the year and set up a stand with only deco owls. Motto: the main thing is colorful.

Budget without room for special wishes

It’s not particularly lavish, and basically leaves the city of prichsenstadt hardly any room for special wishes: the 2019 budget. At first glance, the almost 19 million euros, or 18,981,194 euros to be precise, may seem quite substantial.

But a closer look reveals that kammerer marco kolln has done a great deal of hard work here. In view of the millions of euros that the city council has listed in its financial plan for the next four years, the committee is well aware of the following. Because the financial plan was already well thought out and the chamberer had made some minor changes, which were decided in the corresponding meeting, the speeches in the council meeting were also limited.

Even brew from an iron pan meets the taste

Even brew from an iron pan meets the taste

After dorflis, junkersdorf an der weisach and buch, this year the brewers from brunn hosted the growing number of brewing enthusiasts.
The fourth municipal brewery meeting began with a tour of the brunner brewhouse. It stands out because the sudpfanne is not made of copper, but of iron. This significant feature generated lively discussions and shop talk.

With intensive discussions about brewing itself and about the characteristics of a municipal brewery in particular, the beers from buch, dorflis, eckartshausen, hoch-stadten, junkersdorf an der weisach, unfinden and uschersdorf were tapped, tapped, smelled, tasted and finally simply enjoyed.
During a snack, all the beers were subjected to a thorough sensory evaluation, during which the brewers noted that the level of the different brews was very high. All eight beers passed the sensory test without any problems.

In the name of the bees

In the name of the bees

"We are thrilled with the great entries and it was hard for us to choose the best", commented corinna holzer of the foundation for man and the environment. Under the motto "bavaria – we're doing something for bees!" the winners of the bavaria-wide planting competition were ceremonially crowned in munich. And although the search for the best was rather difficult, a woman from herzogenaurach found herself on the podium. Standing at the top and cheering heavily.
The first place in the category "private garden" dorothea lang's "micro-hortus" is a case in point from herzogenaurach. "My insect-friendly roof garden project is basically in its fifth year, but I have only been trying to implement a continuous fly band since january of this year", she describes her project. But the results are already visible after a few months of hortus farming.

Recognizing potential

Hans-Dieter schuster from the bavarian ministry of the environment was pleased when he presented the certificates together with the foundation. The competition was held as part of the "nature in the city" campaign, of the state ministry for the environment.
He explained: "whether it's five or 500 square meters doesn't really matter. It is important to recognize the potential for colorful, humming life in our gardens. Habitats for our endangered wild bees are not so much gravel gardens, which are very much in vogue, but rather nectar- and pollen-rich flowering plants and structures for nesting such as open sandy areas, natural stones and deadwood."

Grune woche kicks off: focus on animal welfare and digitization

Grune Woche kicks off: focus on animal welfare and digitization

More animal welfare in the barn, more clarity about sugar, fat and salt in finished products for a healthier diet: at the start of green week in berlin, growing expectations are being voiced to food producers.

Federal agriculture minister julia klockner (CDU) called for a dialogue with consumers that should not be reflexively resisted by agriculture. But farmers shouldn’t be portrayed as the nation’s bogeyman either. The trade show, which opens its doors to visitors this friday, will feature exhibitors from all over the world until 27 september. January 1750 exhibitors from 61 countries.

Norma moves out in kups also because of parking situation

Norma moves out in kups also because of parking situation

The background: after 17 years, norma closed its branch in lessingstrabe in december. Between the spielothek "fly and the berankemarkt ultsch now has a gaping 1100 square meter vacancy.

No decision against kups

"the branch has become too small and we no longer see any prospects for development", ulrich schott explains why the company fell in love with the market community. "We were not able to present ourselves as well in kups as in kronach or burgkunstadt."

Hochstadt open-air swimming pool soon to be completely barrier-free

A test drive: georg stirnweib carefully places his gloved hand on the wheel rims of his wheelchair. The new path, which is supposed to provide accessibility in the open-air swimming pool, appears to be steep. Stirnweib gives himself a jolt and rolls slowly down the hill. Then he brakes, turns around and mows his way up the hill again. "For a disabled wheelchair user the slope is no problem", he says. Test passed.

Stirnweib, second chairman of the barrier-free association in the district of erlangen-hochstadt, and manfred muller, commissioner for the disabled, take a close look at the new features in the wave outdoor pool – and are satisfied: "the rolling path that leads directly to the pool and the lift to get into the water have already been solved for wheelchair users", says muller.

It’s time for the cold loving plants

It's time for the cold loving plants

Of course, with these grown one must wait until after the ice saints with the distribution in the open air. It is different with the cold lovers. Due to the cold nights and lack of warming of the soil, it is only now that it makes sense to plant cold-loving plants such as parsley, chervil, borage and dill. These will be placed in rows. Chervil has a very fast cultivation time. It is a universal root herb, which is traditionally used especially in soups.

Sowing of robust summer flowers such as gold poppies and marigolds can also begin. Carrots germinate already at a soil temperature of 5 to 7°. The early sowing is intended for the summer harvest. Carrots, which are needed for storage, are sown later. Lettuce, radishes and kohlrabi also want it cool rather than hot. Covering the tree with fleece offers many advantages. The plants are protected from the weather and grow much faster. The fleece is taken off only for hunting and separating. An old method is to put canning jars over lettuce plants on frosty nights. This creates a mini wax house. Lettuce varieties that are intended for the outdoors, such as the time-honored variety maikonigin, do not do well in the greenhouse. It is too warm for them here.

The key to singing

It was hard for him to say goodbye. He directed the cantabile choir for 17 years.

In his short speech on saturday evening he thanked the madels for a wonderful time. It all started when the madels met at the church fair and sang together. "Afterwards, they wanted to sing at a christmas party", bruckner remembers.
