Good evening,


another serious accident caused by a speeder.

A lot is still unclear, but there is little doubt that the momentous collision on Tuesday evening near the Alte Oper in Frankfurt can be attributed to the scene in which one does not care about traffic rules and speed limits.

Anna-Sophia Lang and Alexander Jürgs researched what happened around 9:30 p.m.

As if out of nowhere, completely bystanders are in mortal danger when the occupants of a tuned Mercedes realize that they have been noticed by the police.

An abrupt turning maneuver, depressed gas pedal, crash with a Smart, whose 67-year-old driver is seriously injured, the men from the Mercedes flee on foot.

The incident fits in with a number of similar accidents, which have in common the ruthlessness of those who caused them. Terms such as “car poser” and “illegal car races” do not adequately describe what drives the men at the wheel - so far nothing is known of women who cool their hearts like that. In any case, the hope that more controls will bring this “phenomenon” under control is gradually disappearing.

The customs that prevailed on the then well-developed roads of the Romans 1800 years ago have not yet been researched. In order to secure historical evidence, among other things, according to politicians from the north of Frankfurt, it is important to preserve the few relics of the provincial town of Nida. They are therefore resisting the plans to build houses on fallow land in the "Roman City", where the remains of a well and other foundations from a bygone era can still be found. It is bad enough that the remains of the Roman settlement were used as a quarry for centuries. What was left disappeared when the Ernst May settlement was built in the late 1920s, as Karen Alihn reports.

And in addition, the Frankfurt district association of the AWO has lost the tax privilege of non-profit status for the time being due to the affair of excessive salaries +++ the "Interest Group to Combat Aircraft Noise (IGF)" disbanded 56 years after its foundation, because no comrades-in-arms find more +++ the "Rhein-Main-Zeitung" shows five places from which one has a wonderful view over Frankfurt as the second part of the summer series "Our Frankfurt".

Take care of yourself

Yours Helmut Schwan
