Muller car driver prevents a major fire in neundorf

Thanks to the presence of mind of the driver of a garbage truck transporting waste paper, several residents of the "zum fortschentor" street were saved in the weitramsdorf suburb of neundorf were saved from more serious fire damage. The driver noticed smoke coming from his vehicle, immediately steered the mull car to the edge of town and alerted the fire department. The fire departments arrived immediately, they came from neundorf, altenhof, weitramsdorf, and dietersdorf.
The paper in the hold was on fire and smoke was billowing out of the mull car. The fire brigade quickly rolled out its hoses in the nearby river tambach in order to be prepared for a possible fire of the entire vehicle and to be able to extinguish the fire. In addition, the hydraulic hoses were disconnected. Breathing apparatus ready for possible use.

Cause unknown

To extinguish the fire in the interior, the rear flap of the vehicle had to be opened, which was associated with difficulties. A farmer's wheel loader was called in; this device was used to lift the flap by force. We can only speculate about the cause of the fire, said thomas schelhorn, commander of the weitramsdorf fire department.
He almost ruled out a fire in a previously emptied green trash can. Rather, it was a technical defect in the vehicle, he said.

Wish for flowers on the livestock market

Wish for flowers on the livestock market

There are many who would like to see more green in the livestock market. "In languages one is always asked about it", said norbert schaub, SPD spokesman. His faction had therefore submitted a motion a few weeks ago that the city should place plant cubes on the square. The motion now ran aground in the building, forestry and environment committee due to different design views.

"The trees are not yet very rough", explained schaub. Planting cubes would therefore provide additional quality of stay. It was a matter of creating an eye-catcher with something flowering, said his caucus colleague rita schaupp. According to the SPD’s proposal, the city should make the cubes available, and the fruit and garden association would take care of the maintenance and seasonal planting.

Mixed results after the ofra in coburg

Mixed results after the ofra in coburg

After the fair is before the fair: already in december peter kinold wants to talk about the upper franconia exhibition 2015 in coburg. "We need to know, for example, how things will go on at the anger", says kinold. "Is there a hotel coming or not?"

The plans for a fundamental redesign of the angers are still on the table, even if it is currently very unlikely that they will be realized. Only the construction of a new school gymnasium in the southern part of the bennobenz sports complex is currently being pushed forward. But kinold, who wants to hold another regional fair on the anger in two years, needs to know today whether the space will still be available to him in the fall of 2015. At least he already has some ideas, what he wants to implement then.

Good sides, bad sides

Good sides, bad sides

He is satisfied. At least in broad terms. "The urban development of kitzingen is on the right track," says city curator dr. Harald knobling. There are many attractively designed areas – but of course there is also room for improvement.

Knobling moved to kitzingen in the mid-1980s. A lot has happened since then, especially in the last few years. During this time, building gaps have been closed and houses renovated. Housing that is better left in the city, rather than having to keep opening up new areas above it. The brewery yards are an example of this.

Fsv needs a final furioso

On the stage of the fubballkreis erlangen/pegnitzgrund the curtain rises for the last act of the season. For most teams there is nothing left to play for, the summer break can come. The promotion celebrations have been celebrated, bitter pills have been swallowed. Only in the first division are two teams, FSV grobenseebach and spvgg heroldsbach, still struggling to stay in the top flight. And in A-class 1, the question arises: will frauenaurach be promoted as second or as champions after all??

Kreisliga 1 ER/PEG: FSV grobenseebach (14.) – DJK kersbach (10.)

It is prepared for a relegation thriller. While spvgg heroldsbach, which is in a somewhat better position, can secure its place in the league on its own merits with a victory over neighboring DJK oesdorf, FSV grobenseebach, which is in a tough league, is dependent on help from a guardian. Uebler squad receives DJK kersbach on home turf. "I don't have time for this, says heroldsbach's head of training stefan hiltl with a view to the FSV result.
However, he knows that countless supporters, reserve players and injured players will keep their eyes on their cell phones and the live ticker. He himself only looks at his team and does not want to rely on kersbacher schutzenhilfe. Hiltl's colleagues are in a similar position: "we want to do our part to make sure it's at least exciting, but I don't look at the other game until after the final whistle, says andreas uebler. He is in good spirits that his troop will keep the race for the class preservation exciting, especially since the FSV is strong at home. For four games grobenseebach is undefeated at home, took ten points.
"Unfortunately we didn't manage to take anything away from the tournament, despite good matches." One payer has heroldsbach still ahead – with an own defeat and a draw of the grobenseebacher hour even a decisive game in the room. "Then without me, betrayal of the vacationing uebler – and this planning gives a deep insight: he probably did not expect to have to tremble until the last day of play for the class preservation. Similar to heroldsbach, which seemed already secured in mid-april.

Soon there will be the smell of lebkuchen on the aurach – von baumen!

Soon there will be the smell of lebkuchen on the aurach - von baumen!

It's a green ribbon that snakes through the city: the banks of the aurach are overgrown with many trees and shrubs, sometimes overgrown, sometimes looking neglected. The many grasses will also be preserved in the future, only they will be tidier, so that the aurach and its riparian areas will become habitats.
This is the plan of the city, which in the course of the transformation of the debris also wants to tackle the river. In the planning committee, the design presented by landscape architect stephanie hackl was unanimously accepted and recommended to the city council for a decision. The macceptances were a bit expensive, it was noted, but there was still green light. Because "it is already to become, our aurach promenade", as mayor german hacker (SPD) stated.

Wide road

The planner of the office hackl hofmann from eichstatt presented the affected area between the kuwesteg and the bahnhofsbrucke. The core of the considerations was that the open space along the river, namely on the city center side, "should become an attractive green area with a high quality of stay" to be developed. This is what it says in the requirements. In addition, the aurach and its banks are to be "upgraded and set in scene" will be.
The office is redesigning the path. It will be wider: three and a half meters are available, of which two meters will be asphalted. Along the path the planner has arranged seating as well as a row of sports and fitness equipment. An open-air gym is to be created, as could be seen from their presentation.
In addition, the river is to be made easily accessible. For this purpose, the high difference must be overcome, which requires constructional measures. Even a platform directly on the river is being considered.

Easter decorations and sube temptations

Easter decorations and sube temptations

Easter bunnies, lambs, fish, hearts and ducks as far as the eye could see. At the easter bazaar in haus fischbachtal, the numerous visitors could again hardly decide between the many different motifs. "It’s incredible what qualitat you get here", said a woman from coburg, who has been coming regularly to the easter and christmas bazaar for several years and who always brings the whole family with her. "Because you can also drink coffee here in such a great and cozy way."

Tufting on great cakes

For this reason, the cafeteria is almost always filled to capacity at the bazaars, and the rush for the cake buffet hardly wears off. This year, however, there was a very special story behind all this: namely that of christine greim from bayreuth. She is a resident in the house fischbachtal, which belongs to the german order and she had thought of something very special: "there was since january once a week a pie challenge." Since then she had always stood in the kitchen one day a week with chef michael kraus and tinkered with her recipes. "We tried so many fillings, weighed every gram, tweaked the ingredients until everything fitted."
