Good evening,


is the corona pandemic not enough for you as a catastrophe?

Then off to the film museum on the banks of the Frankfurt Main.

There you can now get an overview of all the catastrophes that have already been shown in films, and because there has been a wonderful collaboration with the Senckenberg Museum, you can also find out how realistic all the near-endings of the world actually are that will make you shudder in the cinema.

In a word: Frankfurt as a museum location draws on the full.

How nice that culture is alive again in the city.

And how nice that the cultural program fits the location.

The situation: the incidence in Hesse is 9.3, Frankfurt is still the front runner with 21.0. Further easing is not in sight when the state government deals with Corona next week. They couldn't really be justified either.

When they again forged a coalition in 2018, the two parties would not have thought that the fight against epidemics would one day become the most important issue of the black-green state government. It is now halftime in its second legislative period, and everyone is taking stock. Also by Ewald Hetrodt, the correspondent of the Rhein-Main-Zeitung of the FAZ in the state parliament. He has written a book about the alliance, and he comes to a sobering result: The optimistic mood of 2013 has evaporated, replaced by pragmatism, sometimes by a real barter - if you let me do this, I'll let you do that. On the other hand: it works, the alliance holds. If you want to know more: “Green in the Political Laboratory” by Ewald Hetrodt, Waldemar Kramer Verlag, 190 pages, 14.90 euros, will appear at the end of July.

And besides, everyone knows how coalition is written, but who can spell rhythm - at www.deutschland-schreiben.de you can find a spelling quiz from the Polytechnic Society Foundation, where you can show what you can do with German spelling +++ If Opel boss Michael Lohscheller leaves the company surprisingly, his successor will be Uwe Hochgeschurtz +++ the howler monkey, the new patented animal of the Rhein-Main editorial team in the Frankfurt Zoo, is now called Tambo after a vote by readers.

I wish you a pleasant evening

Yours Manfred Köhler
