Good evening,
this is a first difficult test before happiness begins: Many wedding couples canceled the church wedding including a lavish party during the pandemic, because the corona requirements would only have allowed a celebration with a few guests. Anyone who has already planned such an event knows what needs to be organized there - and how tedious it must be to cancel everything again or to make a new appointment. For her article “The long way to the altar”, Hanna Koban asked couples how and with what feelings they cope with it: “The day we wanted to celebrate really pulled us both down,” says one couple. Instead, it went for a walk. Many celebrations will be rescheduled during these weeks. After all, nobody knows how long Corona will give you.

Juchhe, we can go back to the stadium! Only those who do not know the Eintracht Frankfurt fan scene would have expected such a unanimous reaction at the first home game in the new Bundesliga season. Daniel Schleidt has known the scene long and well enough. He reports of a mood in the 0-0 game against Augsburg, which certainly gave rise to goose bumps, but he also writes about the gap in the spectrum of great feelings because the "active fans" were missing. Especially the Ultras, who have turned many games for the better from “their” curve, refuse to sit in the stadium and have their personal details registered. This is required by the health department in order to be able to track possible infections with the coronavirus. Now those responsible at Eintracht Frankfurt can't do much more than wait and seehow the pandemic is developing. 25,000 were allowed on Saturday, 22,000 came. This is not a bad rate, but it is hard to bear economically in the long run.
The times are long gone when delicious ice cream eating was only socially acceptable in midsummer temperatures. Many “floorboards” in Frankfurt have long since become manufactories that outdo each other with new creations and flavors. Alexander Jürgs got what is probably the most beautiful topic in the series “Our Frankfurt”. One of the five types of ice cream that you should try is “butter beer” as well as “liquorice-cherry”. The Rhein-Main-Zeitung tells you which idea is behind it and where you can taste it.
The more you switch from four to two bikes, the greater the choice. The bicycle market is booming and with it new business models are emerging, especially for expensive e-bikes. On the consumer page of the Rhein-Main-Zeitung, Petra Kirchhoff investigates the question of whether a subscription rental is worthwhile for this means of transport. On the one hand, she sums up, it is very relaxing to no longer have to worry about maintenance, insurance, theft protection and security lock when everything is included in the monthly flat rate; the range goes from 16.50 euros per month to just under 100. On the other hand, the author advises everyone who is planning to choose the environmentally friendly and body-strengthening variant of mobility in the long term: buy rather than rent.
And besides, the coronavirus does not give up, the incidence in Hesse is now at a value of 56, in the city of Offenbach has now exceeded the mark of 90 again +++ the police in Frankfurt broke up a party at a former factory building because instead of the invited 200 guests gathered there on Saturday night and wanted to celebrate +++ the Mainz CDU politician Johannes Gerster, who was among other things deputy parliamentary group leader in the Bundestag, died at the age of 80.
Take care of yourself
Yours Helmut Schwan
