State election 2018: sebastian korber (fdp): “i am a conviction voter”

With the FDP it is a bit like with the FCN: once up, once down. Sebastian korber's career curve is exactly the same: in 2009 he became a member of the bundestag in berlin, and after one legislative term he was kicked out again in 2013 with the free democrats. He contested two OB election campaigns, but failed each time.Even if he himself is satisfied with his share of the vote – it's like fubball: close is also a miss. Now the 38-year-old is running as a direct candidate for the liberals in the upcoming state elections – should a black-yellow coalition be formed, possibly with the prospect of a ministerial office. Korber can only say this much: he is basically ready to take on responsibility. "But this is decided first by the voter, then by my party."

"The FDP will enter the state parliament – we will achieve eight percent", at least the direct candidate from forchheim is sure of one thing. "That's the value we already had in 2008.". It is important to win over the undecided voters. Korber is counting on the 15 percent of potential voters who said they could imagine voting for the FDP."I have to convince them with content."

Schoolchildren learn: reading is magic

Schoolchildren learn: reading is magic

It was to be a celebration for the children: gabriele vogel had her sights set firmly on that. And therefore hired a magician as a surprise. Noah stroehl he is called, is twelve years old and goes to the 7. Class. "For me, it is important that children see that some things are not only possible for adults, but also for children of their own age. He also does really good magic", says gabriele vogel. She is the manager of the rodentaler bookstore and wanted to talk to the young magician, who comes from wilhermsdorf in central franconia and whom she had met at "bamberg zaubert" had discovered "their" giving children a surprise.
The bookstore in rodental participated for the first time in the summer vacation reading club for young readers. Around 160 public libraries and bookstores in bavaria were involved in the campaign to get young people interested in reading during the summer vacations. The campaign was initiated by the bavarian library association, and around 15,000 children and young people took part last year, reading more than 110,000 books.
The action started with the first and ended with the last day of the vacations. 103 children from rodental took part and borrowed a total of 1058 media. This also impressed mayor marco steiner (): "that’s about a third of all loans per year", he praised the young readers who had found their way to the bookstore on saturday afternoon, accompanied by their families, for the closing event. Steiner was particularly pleased that gabriele vogel was also able to recruit bookworms. After all, 34 new library cards were issued. The mayor also thanked the sponsors who donated the prizes for the children and without whom the program could not have been put on its feet.
Young magician noah stroehl dazzled his audience with rope, ball and card tricks. He had his female shirt rolled up and loved to see his bare forearms. And so not only the children but also the adults wondered how and where noah loved to disappear balls, ropes or playing cards. Together, the audience guessed how the skilful magician conjured up red and yellow balls and finally lemons from a small metal cup and finally "transformed" a ring from one place to another.
But there were still more rewards waiting for the bookworms. After the young bookworms had finished their reading material, they were allowed to evaluate it in writing. 636 books were judged in this way. Every child who took part received a certificate and a prize and was also entered into a draw for the three main prizes, a visit to the bavaria filmstudio or freizeitland geiselwind.
Nine-year-old sophie weingarth devoured 27 books in 43 days. She attends elementary school in einberg. She was followed on the fub by sophia herold of the same age from the monchroden elementary school with 26 copies read. Both received a certificate and were the first to choose their prizes, including a cinema voucher and an experimental game.
"I just thought it was cool that the bookshop was doing something like this", sophie explained her participation. And how do you manage this enormous amount of reading material?? "I read when I feel like it, or just sit down for half an hour", sophia, who has already participated twice in neustadt and would like to do so again next year, said. "And I read a lot at night before I go to bed."

Thanks to the senior citizens' representative gisela norbach

What does the new kindergarten "nurnberger strabe" look like? In neunkirchen am brand? A presentation of the variant recommended by the building committee has been given to the municipal councils. The planning was discussed with the neighbors, the middle school in neunkirchen am brand, with regard to possible noise caused by children playing. The reggio-padagogy will be applied. This means that smaller workshops will be used. The building will be a two-storey skeleton construction, without a basement. On the first floor there is the arrival area with a rough checkroom and a bistro. Third mayor andreas pfister (SPD), who was standing in for the mayor who was ill, noted that it was currently being examined whether the "kuche" would be built also take over kindergarten operations. The middle school already has a cafeteria that also cooks for daycare centers. The activity rooms will be located on the first floor on the right-hand side. Christian bockmann (G) disliked the fact that the reading room was planned next to the exercise room. This could affect each other. The rooms can still be moved around and have been agreed with the users, the architect assured. The nursery area will then be on the upper floor. Even a separate roof garden area would be possible. The new kindergarten will be barrier-free, all rooms and the roof terrace will be easily accessible. A self-catering kitchen with storage rooms and the adjoining cafeteria is a key feature of the daycare center.

Development plan approved

The development plan hemmerleingelande was approved. Katja von dobschutz of the office grosser, seeger und partner presented the incorporated changes. So the traffic payment in the grafenberger strabe requested by the community council was carried out and evaluated. The results were incorporated into the sound report. The hemmerleinstrabe/grafenberger strabe intersection was also reviewed and the traffic to be expected as a result of the new construction was determined. The result: the node has performance level A, which means it can accommodate everything. The soundproofing report was also revised. Due to the relocation of the combined heat and power plant, the sound levels will change slightly, but due to the changed location of contractual obligations, they will be reduced. The public land will be ceded to the market. Individual electric charging columns could also be erected, ute loffler’s (uwg) inquiry was answered.

Hebdorf builds hard for its up-and-coming generation

The renovation of the elementary school in hannberg is also proceeding step by step. Mayor horst rehder (BB) informed the council that the grant applications had now been submitted to the government of central franconia. In preparation for the renovation, however, planning is also continuing; for example, in the course of the general renovation, drainage is to be laid along the parts with basements.
The heimbucher office had already been commissioned with the pollutant investigation, is dealing with the building ground investigation and also offered the necessary planning services for dimensioning the drainage system. The planning services were also awarded to the nurnberg office for just under 1400 euros.
The order for the creation of the escape and rescue plan was also on the agenda. They are prepared for just under 1200 euros by the company M-plan. The costs include the escape and rescue route tarpaulin and the fire brigade emergency tarpaulin.
During the preparation of the report on the renovation of the elementary school, the planning office urgently recommended that the condition of the sewer base lines be investigated and thus the performance of a TV sewer inspection was urgently required. This was carried out by the company roth rohr-reinigung from nurnberg at a cost of around 5000 euros.
After an inspection of the screeds, it became apparent that the screed was in a state of disrepair in many places. At the instigation of the planners, an independent institute was therefore to be commissioned to take samples and carry out the testing. With only partial replacement, the planners are hoping for cost savings and also a shortening of the time required for tree removal.
In accordance with the cost offer, tuv rheinland/LGA bautechnik from nurnberg will carry out the taking and testing of the screed samples for just under 8000 euros.

More changes

Changes are also required in the planning of the after-school care center. The planning was coordinated with the kindergarten supervision of the district office erlangen-hochstadt. This revealed that the requirements for the community's target of 76 to 80 after-school care places require a coherent spatial program. The planned use of the school kitchen as an after-school room was refused because all the rooms in the room program are to be accommodated in the after-school room within a coherent flat area.
