Good evening,


holidays!

There are still certificates on Friday, then this failed school year with and without masks, with and without corona tests, with and without air filters in the classrooms, is over.

And the hope that things will get better in the new school year is just as great as the concern that the Delta variant will prevent just that.

But now all the notebooks and laptops are closed, the rule of three is calm, the analysis of novels is not in demand for six weeks, and no three-cheeses have to go to the bar in front of a smirking audience.

Vacation!

  • Follow I follow

We at the FAZ will of course continue. Look bravely into the summer slump ahead of us and hope that, as in 2018, a mysterious

giant catfish will

save

us

, which at the time was swimming in Offenbach's Dreieichweiher or not, that was never clarified. If you happen to think that a

strange creature pinched the big toe

in your favorite outdoor pool or bathing

lake, please

let us know. It's enough if it was just a hint of tweaking. We'll make something out of it. The summer vacation lasts a long six weeks.

No, it was a joke

, of course we will only write if you really tweaked something and it is absolutely certain that the Loch Ness monster is making a flying visit to the Langener Waldsee on summer vacation.

Today you have to be careful what you write, the allegations against our profession are quickly raised.

And therefore only hard facts at this point today:

  • the Rhine levels continue to rise, it can be expected until Sunday

  • the incidence in Hessen continues to rise, on Thursday it was 10.5, and it is unlikely that this will end on Sunday,

  • The CDU and the Greens in the Hessian state parliament have taken stock of the first half of the legislative period and are, surprisingly, satisfied with themselves.


And in addition

, the Frankfurt Naxoshalle is being transformed into a swamp, that is art and therefore does not have to go

+++

there are indications that the police have been pointing out deficiencies in the emergency call in Hanau for a long time, about the one since the racist attack in the city February last year there was an

argument

+++

Frank Sportolari, until recently president of the Amcham, died.

I wish you a pleasant evening

Yours Manfred Köhler

The tip for the weekend

The Künstler winery in Hochheim is one of the most renowned in the Rheingau.

Now it has got culinary reinforcement with the Wiesbaden Dienstbach twins.

The two cooks, who have made a name for themselves with their charming restaurant "Les Deux Dienstbach", have been cooking in the courtyard for a few weeks from Thursday to Sunday and serve the guests a high-quality mixture of French and Rheingau dishes through the window of the manor house - from Spundekäs' and hand cheese salad to fried prawns and brioche sandwich with lobster.

"Les Deux Dienstbach" in the Künstler winery, Hochheim, privy councilor Hummel-Platz 1a, phone 0 61 46/8 38 60, Internet www.les-deux-dienstbach.de and www.weingut-kuenstler.de.
