Good evening,
The city councilors in Frankfurt's Römer began on Wednesday afternoon to elect the new members of the magistrate in a secret ballot. Previously, the previous department heads were dismissed for the second time. The Hessian municipal code provides for this. Your term officially ends at midnight. With the election of the future city government, the new coalition of the Greens, SPD, FDP and Volt can start work - around six months after the local elections in March. We are currently reporting on the results of the voting on FAZ.NET. According to the coalition's plans, the new magistrate should include eleven department heads, one more than in the previous one. Bastian Bergerhoff (The Greens) should therefore be city treasurer as well as church and personnel department,his party colleagues Elke Voitl as social department head and Nargess Eskandari-Grünberg advocate diversity and anti-discrimination in the full-time magistrate. Eskandari-Grünberg is also planned to be the mayor and successor to Uwe Becker. For the FDP, Stephanie Wüst will move into the magistrate's position as head of economic affairs and the former parliamentary group leader Annette Rinn for security. Eileen O'Sullivan (Volt) is to take over the newly created digitization department.For the FDP, Stephanie Wüst will move into the magistrate's position as head of economic affairs and the former parliamentary group leader Annette Rinn for security.

It is possible that the last full summer day with temperatures close to 30 degrees came to an end today. So September brought another hurray after August was a very average weather month, as Peter Badenhop reports. With 53.5 millimeters of rain it was a bit too dry in August, the normal value is 64.8 millimeters and the extremes from 1968 (189.4 millimeters) and 1991 (1.4 millimeters) are miles away. And the maximum amount of 8.7 millimeters from August 3rd is actually hardly worth mentioning. Compared to the rest of the republic, however, Frankfurt is an exception, because in most parts of Germany the past month was very rainy, on average 30 percent more rain fell than usual,and in some places twice as much in just a few days as elsewhere in the entire month. On the other hand: if the rain does not come in masses, it is actually something good. It's such a thing with the weather.
In any case, the time begins when you don't necessarily have to be sad if you spend your free time indoors, for example in the Tigerpalast or in the new Frankfurt Dialog Museum. The Tiger Palace is planning its winter season. There will be none of the usual premieres with celebrities, the performance on October 29th will normally be available for free sale. Yes, I know, Eva-Maria Magel already reported about it in today's edition of the Rhein-Main-Zeitung, but there was no more space in yesterday's newsletter. The new beginning should not be forgotten in this newsletter either. And: The Dialog Museum has opened its new rooms on the B-level of the Hauptwache, another timeless tip from Matthias Trautsch.
And in addition, the Frankfurt Public Prosecutor's Office succeeded in striking a German-Romanian clan that is said to have traded illegally in vehicles +++ Since the beginning of the school year a week and a half ago, there have been 180 corona infections in schoolgirls confirmed by a PCR test and students +++ Offenbach is at the top with an incidence of around 220 for corona infections not only in Hesse, but also in all of Germany.
Many greetings from the editorial team,
