Good evening,
Carsten Knop
Editor.

that was a lovely Saturday afternoon and evening at the Alte Oper. She is 40 years young, at least if you take the opening of the rebuilt historic building as a concert hall on August 28, 1981 as a benchmark. After games had not been possible for months to contain the pandemic, visitors who had been vaccinated, recovered and tested according to the 3G principle were admitted and the halls were 48 percent occupied according to the double checkerboard pattern. In the corridors and in the foyers, mouth and nose protection was mandatory and the distance rules were to be observed, while the mask could be removed at the square during the concerts. The catering in the house was open, and in the new and brightly designed foyer people from one household could also use the small bistro tables.
So many friends of the Alte Oper, subscribers and guests of honor met again after a long time, and there was a very happy atmosphere everywhere, which reminded of the enthusiasm described by older guests at the opening evening 40 years ago, which also fell on Goethe's birthday. Guido Holze has seen, listened to, describes and commented on everything. Also worth reading is the report by Rainer Schulze, who was present at a meeting of those formerly involved in the reconstruction.
A compliment can hurt. Even if it is spoken innocently, maybe even meant nicely. “You speak German well.” Or the question “Where are you from?”, Which is not always as unspectacular as when a Westphalian asks a Franconian about it. Florence Brokowski-Shekete has dealt with this topic, she has family roots in Africa, was born in Hamburg in 1967, was a teacher and headmistress, is the director of education in Mannheim and has written a bestseller with her autobiography “Damn, she understands me!” . At the weekend she was a guest speaker at the German Knigge Council, which met in Frankfurt for the first time since Corona. Matthias Trautsch listened.
It may never be possible to completely demolish a nuclear power plant. Why? There is a lot of demolition waste, especially contaminated building rubble. Part of it, so-called free-measured demolition material; In the case of the Biblis nuclear power plant, it was to be dumped and recycled in the Groß-Gerau district's landfill in Büttelborn. But citizens' initiatives and environmental associations are protesting against it. Even the landfill operator does not want the waste in Büttelborn. Citizens have now met with representatives from politics, environmental associations and experts. The result: The demolition waste should stay where it arises, namely on the current power plant site in Biblis, encased in one of the cooling towers. In the discussion it became clearthat actually no household waste dump in Germany wants to take up the slightly radiant demolition waste from nuclear power plants. The consequences of this are likely to be an unpleasant surprise for one or the other.

the city of Frankfurt has exceeded the incidence of 100 and, according to the state's escalation concept, has to react with restrictions.
A detailed general decree will come into force on Tuesday at the earliest, said health department head Stefan Majer (Greens).
However, there should be no new restrictions in retail and public spaces.
Have a good new week,
Your Carsten Knop
