Good evening,


As nice as the idea with the test booklet for elementary school students is, it raises the question: And what about the older kindergarten children from whom proof is required? Florentine Fritzen investigated the question and came to the conclusion that such a document would of course also be very useful for all other six- or seven-year-olds. After all, you can take it to the gym class, the swimming pool or the café without having to stop by the citizen test first. For families with children who are not yet of school age, spending their free time is often tedious because the 3G rule also applies in zoos, cinemas and other leisure facilities to non-vaccinated and unhealthy people over the age of six, regardless of whether they are already at school walk. A test booklet for daycare centers that would fill the gapis not yet planned.

Where all the electricity should come from, which will be needed more than ever in the future, will also be one of the central issues in Hesse in the coming years.

The state government continues to rely on wind power, even if it is not progressing as expected.

The "Hohe Wurzel" near Wiesbaden remains a particular obstacle.

A wind farm is to be built there (or does it have to be said: should?), But fierce resistance developed.

The matter almost inevitably ended up in court.

At some point in the next year, the administrative court will make the decision.

Our state parliament correspondent Ewald Hetrodt dealt intensively with the case and researched how the environment and economics ministries are trying to control the legal dispute.

Justice and electricity could also be on top of the new chapter that now begins in the former atomic village in Hanau. As a first step, Google wants to set up a cloud system there, the hunger for energy will be enormous. Our correspondent Luise Glaser-Lotz, who followed the scandals of the nuclear industry on the site, writes in her comment how important the commitment of the internet giant is to the image of the city of Hanau in order to be able to shake off the contaminated sites. However, the matter is not quite over yet. The courts are still negotiating whether radioactive waste may be stored on the site.

And in addition, Hesse's Prime Minister Volker Bouffier and the President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster, celebrated the start of construction of the Jewish Academy in Frankfurt with a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony +++ Frankfurt wants to wait until with "booster vaccinations" against the corona virus the STIKO recommends them.

Meanwhile, the incidence in Hessen continues to rise +++ Frankfurt is now also trying to become the seat of a new private organization that is supposed to develop sustainability standards for financial reports.

"International Sustainability Standards Board" is the already impressive name.

Take care of yourself

Yours Helmut Schwan

The tip for the weekend

Pino Fichera is a well-known man in Frankfurt.

With his "Thai & Turf" in Sachsenhausen, a mixture of steakhouse and Thai restaurant, he hit a nerve and created a considerable fan base.

In the middle of the city, only a few steps away from the Fressgass, he took over the former "Garibaldi" shortly before the forced Corona break - and also established a hybrid: In "Pino" sophisticated Italian cuisine is combined with the finest steak culture .

And this mixture is also very popular with the guests.
