Good evening,


what was suspected on Sunday has now been confirmed.

The serious accident in which four people were killed at the weekend on Autobahn 5 near the Friedberg junction was caused by a wrong-way driver.

The police and the public prosecutor's office have confirmed this.

The person who caused the accident is a thirty-three year old who comes from the Gießen area.

He was also killed in the accident.

According to previous investigations, the wrong-way driver drove his Opel Astra on the section between the Ober-Mörlen and Friedberg junctions on the road towards Kassel in the opposite direction to the south. The thirty-three-year-old crashed his car head-on into a Renault occupied by four young people. Two of the occupants died at the scene of the accident. Two more suffered serious injuries. A 68-year-old driver who was in his Opel behind the Renault was also killed. A 52-year-old man from the Rheingau-Taunus district suffered minor injuries who could no longer evade with his Aston Martin. In an interview with the FAZ, Rüdiger Wollgramm, traffic expert at the police union, explainshow difficult it can be to investigate such complex accidents and why it could have taken so long before the course of the accident could be traced. 

Change of subject. Such a kiosk is a place for aha moments. Kiosk conversations are often about god and the world - and sometimes about politics. Hardly anyone knows that as well as Naim Yildirim. He runs "Heinrichs Kiosk" on Niederurseler Landstrasse in Frankfurt. And as the operator of a kiosk, he gets to know what people are concerned with in their everyday lives. In any case, it is not what is going on in political Berlin. "Democracy is not God-given," said Yildirim to himself and therefore converted his kiosk into a place for one evening where politicians and non-voters can meet. At high tables - and in a casual atmosphere. Our author Kilian Schroeder mingled with the visitors in order to get into conversation with non-voters and find out why they are not exercising their right to vote. Unsuccessful.Because all those who mingled with the visitors that evening stated that they wanted to vote. The question of why people leave the right to vote unused was not answered at the kiosk that evening, but was answered in a conversation with political scientist Sigrid Roßteutscher. One of their explanations: Young people in particular do not vote if they have not learned to. "We have known since the 1950s: Voting becomes a habit after the third time at the latest."Young people in particular do not vote if they have not learned to do so.

Have you ever heard the word "catnapping"? No? Then your cat - if you have one at all - belongs either to the genus “house tiger” or to the genus “returnees”. But anyone who has sat up all night to wait for the house cat knows the fear that the animal might have been "catnapped". Possibly by scientists. You never know. Nadine and Jan Baumgarten work in the animal research center at Gutenberg University in Mainz. They give an unusually open insight into their work and clear up rumors - including that of the kidnapped cats. It is important for the Baumgarten couple to convey how strict the rules for animal experiments are at the university and generally in Germany. An impressionIn an interview with the FAZ, they tell the FAZ from when an experiment is considered to be “low-level stress” and when the researchers speak of “high-level stress”.

And in addition, Sanofi managers Matthias Braun and Joachim Kreysing from Infraserv Höchst explain what would be necessary for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry to become more climate-friendly +++ There is also a lot at stake for Prime Minister Volker Bouffier (CDU) on Sunday.

He campaigned heavily for Armin Laschet as the Union's candidate for chancellor +++ Michael Quast is rehearsing a classic of dialect theater: “The old citizen captain”.

Stay healthy,
