Good evening,


the Frankfurters will still have a lot of fun with the new coalition in the Römer.

We remember: three partners already had so much to do with each other in the last electoral term that they unfortunately never got around to solving the city's major tasks.

Now there are four parties, but the list of the challenges carried over into the new electoral period was not long enough for the new coalition of the Greens, SPD, FDP and Volt, so that they immediately wrote a lot of new tasks in the specifications.

And while there is no shortage of big words on the one hand (we have especially noted those of the SPD chairman Mike Josef, who seriously believes that the coalition agreement is almost a successful squaring of the circle), one of the coalition partners casually reports that one just want to send someone else to the magistrate than initially planned. Instead of Mr. Everwien, Volt wants to see Ms. O'Sullivan there. Nothing against it. But it throws a spotlight on a party that would like to participate in the major restructuring of Frankfurt, but is apparently overwhelmed by a simple personnel decision. Martin Benninghoff comments on his résumé: This coalition of four stands on shaky legs.

But she is not alone there. The churches are wavering too. On Wednesday, as every year, the current membership figures were published, and one suspects that the churches would rather not have done that. 2.5 percent less in the Evangelical Church in Hesse and Nassau, 8200 resignations in the Limburg diocese, 8500 in the Mainz diocese, 3500 in the Fulda diocese A development that has been observed for years is continuing, and apparently nobody really knows how to stop it.

Is there nowhere going up?

Yes, yes.

a) At Frankfurt Airport.

It is now so full again that the airport operator Fraport warns passengers to arrive in good time so that they do not miss their flight in the end.

b) In the incidence figures.

The situation: Hessen 9.8 on Wednesday after 9.3 on Tuesday.

The assessment from this point on a) very positive, on b) very unpleasant.

And in addition, a Playmobil collector with 5000 figures in the Eberbach monastery has recreated its history and also housed a ghost +++ the wonderful Stoffel Festival begins in Frankfurt on Sunday, the summer can come +++ you can visit the Bundesbank's Money Museum an exhibition about, guessing, looking at money, especially about the question of who actually makes the money.

I wish you a pleasant evening

Yours Manfred Köhler
