Good evening,


The corona pandemic is threatening, dangerous and protracted, but it is no less: very complicated. A few weeks ago there was still a lot of anger around the question of whether Eintracht was allowed to let 10,000 visitors into the stadium for a football game. Now the number of infections continues to rise, in Frankfurt the incidence value is 35.1, and how many are allowed in on Saturday in eight days for the game against Augsburg? 25,000. If you now say that this is illogical, then you unfortunately have not understood the Corona policy. Because no rule without exception, and so it is said from the Frankfurt Health Department: The hygiene concept is no worse at 35.1 than at 34.9, and the authority is making use of its right to special permits. So 25,000.For such generosity of the city administration, Eintracht can thank you with a generous win against Augsburg.

In Mainz they came to the conclusion that 13,000 fans are allowed to come to the stadium for the Bundesliga match against Leipzig on Sunday, and this number is certainly based on convincing calculations.

However, Mainz 05 has completely different problems: 14 players and employees of the club are in quarantine because they are either infected or have had contact with the infected.

In the Rhineland-Palatinate capital, you would be happy if you managed to get a full team together on the field at the end of the day.

Whether you win then is currently only the second question.

Back to Frankfurt. The new coalition, with its great willingness to shape things, has not even started its work there, but the dismay of motorists is already in full swing. From Monday on, there will be a barrier in the middle of the city, as is otherwise known from old films of border crossings, blocking the entry of cars from Eschenheimer Tor into Oeder Weg, which is to be converted into a bicycle and pedestrian-friendly street. The IHK worries about the retailers and complains that they are not included in the planning. How nice that the journey to the Main-Taunus-Zentrum remains so uncomplicated for car drivers who love shopping.

And rail customers in Frankfurt are also suffering from the strike, it would be a "stroke of luck" to get a train, it was said on Wednesday by a traveler +++ Frankfurt's mayor Peter Feldmann and his wife Zübeyde +++ are concerned in the Offenbach leather museum currently very much with its own collection, keywords animal skin and looted property.

I wish you a pleasant evening

Yours Manfred Köhler
