Good evening,
Helmut Schwan
Head of the regional section of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

“You don't see the children smiling.” This sentence from a mother on the sidelines of the school enrollment ceremony on Tuesday in Frankfurt best expresses what such a beginning means for the children.
Starting the new phase of life with so many expectations behind a mask, with the obligation to test yourself three times a week, is a mortgage that most of the little ones bravely bear. Florentine Fritzen observed this on Tuesday. She was in the Walter Kolb School in the Frankfurt district of Unterliederbach for the Rhein-Main-Zeitung. More than 57,000 first graders are gathering these days in Hesse in new communities, with a fairly new view of the world. “Not yet under completely normal conditions”, as the Minister of Culture Alexander Lorz put it this morning in Bad Sooden - confidence is the order of the day in the first lesson.
Klara Kletzka has now won this again. After months in which the founder of the (private) museum for the blind due to the pressures of Corona with her plan to relocate the branch from Hanauer Landstrasse to the B-level of the Frankfurter Hauptwache almost went bankrupt, everything is now good:
On September 7th, Kletzka will open the new Dialog Museum
. A sophisticated hygiene concept applies to the visitors with a strictly controlled 3G regulation, a mask requirement in the rooms, a ventilation system that is almost as powerful as the one in laboratories. Hans Riebsamen writes about this unusually strong woman and her meeting place, which had attracted almost a million visitors to her old location within 13 years.
From Frankfurt, the new format of conveying how the blind perceive the world experienced a triumphant advance through half the world
. This is all the more remarkable as the core of the concept is the integration of the blind and other disabled people into working life and the promotion of understanding and empathy for them. The museum as a social enterprise: at the new, central location, this should only be a project with winners. Because the transport companies have finally found a tenant for the B-level who upgrades the main guard with his activities.
Hopes are the raw material of start-ups. Falk Heunemann took a look at which ideas were awarded the Frankfurt Founders' Prize this year. He was a little disappointed. He has nothing against flip books for learning sign language, against another brand of beer, a café with pensioners, a kosher restaurant, a back school -
our business editor attests to all creative people great commitment and a high willingness to take risks, especially in times of crisis. But he fears that without the emphasis on IT and especially on fintech, it will be even more difficult for Frankfurt to recommend itself to investors as an alternative to start-up centers such as Berlin or Munich.
