Good evening,


restaurateurs, but above all cultural workers in Hessen can breathe a sigh of relief

: In view of the persistently low incidence figures, restrictions not only for restaurants and hotels but also for events are being relaxed in Hessen.

The new magic number is now 35. If the corona incidence in a city or a district is below this value, organizers of outdoor events no longer need to obtain approval from the health department if they do not allow more than 1500 visitors.

That is three times the previous limit and could mean for smaller festivals, for example, that they will find an economic basis again.

In “closed rooms” the limit is now 750 instead of the previous 250 guests.

As always in these weeks plus the formula: "Recovered and vaccinated people do not count."

In the Tuesday edition of the Rhein-Main-Zeitung, the Rhein-Main-Zeitung shows how great the potential of cultural workers, which has been largely idle for almost a year and a half, is in Frankfurt, for example.

Eva-Maria Magel (text) and Michael Braunschädel (photos) have brought together on one page what this very special “cultural summer” in parks, squares and courtyards already has to offer in terms of theater, music, literature and dance.

As the icing on the cake, there is also the “summer building”

, the open-air theater at the Kaiserlei, which was opened on Sunday with “Struwwelpeter”.

How deep the

traces of Corona are can also be seen by the visitor on the Frankfurt Westend campus.

For more than a year, operations there have been largely “in presence”.

Simon Rösel looked around there and on the grounds of the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences after the third semester of the pandemic.

He came across relics like from a bygone era.

The few students he met reported the desire to finally sit back in a seminar room with fellow students and be able to talk casually about all kinds of things afterwards.

Or about their anger at the pointless tasks they were given during the digital semester.

And besides

, speculation continues about why the warehouse of a bookseller who operates his stand at the Bockenheimer Warte in Frankfurt was on fire again;

there is a lot of criticism in Mainz of the appointment of the two managing directors of Citymarketing GmbH;

5055 children were born in April in Hessen - more than in 24 years.

Take care of yourself

Yours Helmut Schwan
