Good evening,


more and more life is moving into Frankfurt Airport.

In July, 2.85 million passengers were counted, after 1.8 million in June and 1.2 million in May.

The most important engine in the Rhine-Main region is still not running smoothly - the figure from July 2019 was missed by almost 60 percent - but it doesn't look that bad last year by a long shot.

Deputy head of the regional section of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and editor-in-chief of the business magazine Metropol.

May it continue to go up. But it is not absolutely certain. The incidence numbers continue to rise, in Offenbach they are already over 50 again. There it is now getting complicated again, access to generally accessible indoor rooms is only permitted to vaccinated, convalescent and tested people, in retail the number of customers is again limited, also Negative proof is mandatory in outdoor catering. Hessen achieved a total of 27.

When the administrative court decides on wind turbines on the Taunus ridge next year, the basics of Hessian energy policy will also be at stake. Our Landtag correspondent Ewald Hetrodt describes how strangely the ministers in the state government prepared by the Greens are preparing for this process. His comment: The plan for expanding wind power should be saved, at any cost.

And also four decades ago Ozan Ata Canani wrote the first song cycle of Anatolian music in German, which has now been rediscovered, as Christian Riethmüller reports +++ the mistletoe spreads on orchards and robs the trees of their sap +++ complains Fridays for Future With demonstrations on Friday, the financial corporations to fuel the climate crisis - but the industry is resisting, as Daniel Schleidt reports.

I wish you a pleasant evening

Yours Manfred Köhler

The tip for the weekend

The renovated and expanded Jewish Museum is a real gem for Frankfurt and the new museum café is an asset to the city.

Because the "Flowdeli" on the first floor of the new light building is also accessible to guests who do not want to go to the exhibitions.

It offers what is known as milky kosher cuisine, i.e. meat-free dishes that meet Jewish dietary regulations.

The menu features dishes that reflect the many influences that combine in modern Jewish cuisine.

"Flowdeli", Bertha-Pappenheim-Platz 1, Frankfurt, Telephone 0 69/27 22 06 60, Internet www.flowdeli.de.
