For the second time in the corona pandemic, the Frankfurt city government and the Hessian state government are rattling each other because of a Eintracht football game.
Once it was at the very beginning when Frankfurt wanted to allow a game in front of an audience, but Hesse did not.
In the test match of Eintracht next Saturday against Saint-Etienne, there is at least agreement that the audience is allowed, but the country insists on 5000, Frankfurt on the other hand 10,000.
Both sides have respectable reasons.
A deal in the middle, at 7,500, would not solve the problem, nor would a penalty shoot-out.
Now the courts should decide.
Let's see who prevails.

Much would be easier if the incidence figures fell.
But they rise.
In Hesse now to 17.7 after 13.6 a week ago.
The front runner is Frankfurt with 36.7.
The long-term consequences of the pandemic are still difficult to overlook.
At least some things are emerging.
In Frankfurt, the growth in the number of inhabitants that has been observed for many years has not continued.
In the first four months of 2021, the number even fell by 5000 to 758,500.
Perhaps this was due to the decline in international immigration;
Spatial researchers believe, however, that growth can generally be expected.
Maybe just a respite?
In his comment, Carsten Knop advises using the time to further expand the infrastructure.
In addition, more refugees are coming to Hessen again, and deportations have become more difficult
+++ "Breton Idyll" by Jean-Luc Bannalec is the best-selling book in the region
+++ Hessian industry is now generating as much sales again as it was before the pandemic.
