Good evening,


if you have school-age children, we are not telling you anything new at this point.

You will have seen it in the (tired) eyes of your children this morning: school has started again.

No more quiet in the morning.

Even on the streets.

The famous parent taxis are back on the road.

The police took the start of school as an opportunity to carry out traffic checks in many places.

There was a little tutoring in the parking zone for many parents.

In Hesse, the new school year starts with two so-called prevention weeks.

Masks must also be worn in the field.

In addition, the test frequency for all students and teachers is to be increased from two to three corona tests per week.

If a positive Corona case is detected in a class, only the direct neighbors should be quarantined in the new school year, but not automatically the pupils of the entire class or even the entire school, according to the Ministry of Education.

Around 57,300 first graders will start their school day under pandemic conditions this year.

Numerous founders who started their companies during the corona pandemic have shown that such a start under pandemic conditions must be special, but not automatically disadvantageous. 34 of them applied for the start-up award. The prize, endowed with 30,000 euros, is shared by four start-ups. “Talking Hands”, a company that specializes in the publication of textbooks which, as a flip book, explain the sign for a certain word, is given the most generous amount of 12,500 euros. In addition, the "Brewing Union" was able to convince. The start-up has the modest goal of bringing a beer onto the market that represents Frankfurt in terms of taste. It had to be tart, nevertheless pleasing. Nothing complicated. Whether the founders succeededBeer lovers can now try out beer themselves in some of the city's restaurants.

What is also hidden behind the start-up “Kitabuli” and why Café Heimelig is so successful, especially because of the old age of the workforce, is what the colleagues in the economic department write about.

The start-up scene is likely to be toasted with sparkling wine - or with a little wine.

After all, there is something to celebrate.

By the way: three dry and warm years in a row follow the very good 2018 vintages and, according to the judgment of many specialist journalists, 2020 will once again be a top vintage.

“More mineral and firmer than 2018, but a little rounder and more powerful than 2019”, is how the President of the Prädikatsweingüter (VDP), Steffen Christmann, describes the vintage.

On Monday, more than 150 restaurateurs, traders, journalists and sommeliers checked this statement for its truthfulness. A kind of interim certificate was issued for the 2019 and 2020 vintages, but its true value will only become apparent after a longer storage and maturation period. Wine connoisseur and FAZ correspondent Oliver Bock explains why the pandemic has turned some winegrowers into social media professionals, how many companies are now cultivating their land ecologically and why only around 20 percent of the wines go abroad.

And with its new temporary exhibition, the Jewish Museum Frankfurt is showing the first ever show that deals with the Jewish post-war period +++ the national winner of “Jugend debattiert”, Susanna Naumer, rates the three-way battle of the candidates for chancellor +++ the Rhineland-Palatinate wants Landtag finally return to his domicile.

Stay healthy,
