Good evening,


do you still remember that nagging impatience that you felt as a child when a big event was imminent?

Christmas?

Date of birth?

Vacation trip?

The days were counted there.

Sleep three more times…

Deputy head of the regional section of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

And do you still remember how painfully slow the time passed? It will be similar to many a football fan at the moment. Sleep five more times and the new Bundesliga season starts. Finally! The weekend has structure again. Too bad that it is now made difficult for real fans to see all the games of their favorite team. Football fans have to dig deep into their pockets in order not to miss a minute. If you want to watch your team's competitions in the comfort of your own living room, you have to pay for several services at the same time. The overview of television rights has become even more complicated with the new TV contract. Most of the games continue to broadcast "Sky" - but the media group has meanwhile had to surrender numerous broadcasting rights.And so die-hard football fans can hardly get around to take out a subscription with the provider Dazn for Friday and Sunday games. Eintracht fan and business editor Daniel Schleidt provides an overview of the various offers.

The harmony and the television rights are topics with regular table quality. Something like that is easy to chat about with someone who has been pissed off. Why not in Höchst? After all, there are wonderful pubs and beer gardens here. And the Frankfurt district also has more to offer in other respects than some who might have just cycled through the old town would suspect. FAZ editor Carsten Knop took a look around the district. In addition to many small and large discoveries, it is especially the construction sites that catch the eye in Höchst, as he says. Something is happening here. Change instead of standstill. On the one hand. On the other hand, the change could sometimes be a bit faster in some places, depending on the taste of the residents. The "everyday problems" urgently need to be addressed,says, for example, mayor Susan Serke. Increasing crime is one of those problems that needs to be solved. In the next few weeks, the FAZ will repeatedly make forays through different parts of the city and ask the people who live, work and design there what drives them, why they love their part of town and what could be improved.

One who has always stood up for his city is Klaus Oesterling (SPD), head of the transport department. "There is probably no politician in Frankfurt who knows the rail network better," writes our editor Mechthild Harting. She looks back on what Oesterling initiated during his tenure. He will be recalled on September 8, one year before the end of his term in office. The Greens, as the winners of the local elections, want the department for themselves. The native of Frankfurt wears it with composure, as he has put his signature on the city, for example with the red bicycle stripes that run through the city. But the head of the traffic department also stumbled at some point. The closure of the Main Quay, he is often accused of, was poorly prepared. This criticism annoys him after all. Because she was not completely unsuccessfulhe says in an interview with the FAZ. The project has been discussed for 30 years - “I am the first department head who has really tried it”. And the coalition agreement of the new city government states that the Mainkai should be closed again as part of an overall traffic concept. So the idea is in the world, even after Oesterling's term of office.

And you can also guess which animal a "brown long-eared" is?

First of all: there is no rabbit +++ there is hope for seriously ill epilepsy patients.

A new surgical method should help to reduce the number of seizures +++ in Wetzlar a busy elevated road leads through the city center.

Because it is ailing, it will be shut down in 2027.

Now the city is looking for solutions to guide traffic.

Stay healthy,

Marie Lisa Kehler
