Good evening,


maybe you will fly south yourself during this vacation, from the cold to the heat, so to speak, at least Frankfurt Airport is noticing that people have become more mobile again.

In June, the number of passengers rose to around 1.8 million, almost 200 percent above the same month last year. Admittedly, this does not come close to previous peak values. However, the increase in the number of passengers poses considerable challenges for the airport operator because controls and boarding are heavily influenced by the Corona security rules. Therefore, an important tip at this point for everyone who wants to use the airport again: The operator Fraport and the airlines advise you to be at the airport two to two and a half hours before departure and to check beforehand whether all the necessary documents are available. Fraport also points out that a number of countries require proof of the current Corona status and digital travel registration before departure. If this were not the case,you don't even get on the plane. And that would be stupid then.

This went really badly here - and unfortunately it also cost a human life: On the A66 between Hanau and Fulda, a trailer truck fell off the Kinzig valley bridge.

The driver's cab of the truck fell into the river, the driver is dead. According to the police in Offenbach, it was initially unclear why the team got off the road on Tuesday near Bad Soden-Salmünster, broke through the guardrail and fell almost 15 meters .

Divers first had to search the Kinzig for the driver.

The A 66 was completely blocked in the direction of Fulda.

Motorists had to drive around the scene of the accident.

The tractor-trailer apparently had loaded pallets.

Initial findings indicate that he could have rammed a construction vehicle and then got out of control.

Michael Herrmann called the three-day “string summit” in the Wiesbaden Kurhaus, for which the Rheingau Music Festival first cooperated with the Kronberg Academy,

“a small festival within a festival”

. At the same time, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, which is to take its seat in the then completed Casals Forum of the Academy in 2022, made its debut at the festival, which should have been last summer. What kind of top ensemble will be heard more frequently in the Rhine-Main region in the future was completely clear after the second of the six programs of the “String Summit” with young soloists from the Academy: The core line-up of 60 members includes many renowned musicians, including some the ranks of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra.
