Today in Rhein-Main: More space for bicycles again

Good evening,

the worst parents can imagine is their children, so they tend not to imagine it. In Witzenhausen, a man who drove a car into a group of children and who apparently did so on purpose, brought terrible suffering to families. An eight year old girl is dead, two girls are seriously injured. The alleged rampage of a likely mentally ill person is reminiscent of similar incidents, for example the attack in Volkmarsen in northern Hesse. On Rose Monday 2020, a 29-year-old man raced into a crowd during the carnival parade, apparently planned. More than 90 people were injured at the time. What psychologists and the police union say about the phenomenon of mentally ill people committing serious crimes and whether they see mechanismsthat could prevent that: Katharina Iskandar and Matthias Trautsch asked that and wrote down the answers to these questions.

The Oeder Weg as a priority road for bicycles, on which a barrier prevents cars from entering, on which parking spaces are no longer available and some are happy about it, but many are not either: The discussion about this continues in Frankfurt. Reality and pro-pedal planning have long since moved a step further and have arrived in Grüneburgweg. At the beginning of December, the politicians in the local council decide whether this shopping street will also be redesigned for cyclists. And like at Oeder Weg, there are dealers and restaurateurs who are afraid for their existence if customers are no longer able to park in front of the door. In an open letter they have now turned to city councilors and district politicians. One criticizes that the city wants to "get" the cars off the street without offering parking garages as an alternative. The lawsuit will probably be of no usereports our traffic expert Mechthild Harting. She has also put together what is still in the pipeline of similar plans.

Winter is coming, the pandemic is already here. The vaccination rate is expected to increase. The so-called booster vaccinations have to be managed organizationally if one day they are used by more than those to whom the STIKO currently recommends. Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn has therefore proposed that the federal states reactivate the vaccination centers. Most reject this, including Hesse. At the moment there is no need, says the Hessian health minister and Green politician Kai Klose. Anyone who now thinks that this is the usual federal-state squabble of competence, which, depending on needs and interests, is sometimes referred to as an advantage or disadvantage of federalism, is mistaken: Hesse has good reasons to reject the initiative from Berlin. For example,that the mobile vaccination offers have been greatly expanded in recent weeks. Particularly important in this context: there is enough vaccine, if you have not yet received an injection: everything is prepared.

And in addition, Thomas Drach, who kidnapped Jan Philipp Reemtsma, the heir of the Hamburg tobacco dynasty, in 1996, was imprisoned for 14 years and later committed an attack in Frankfurt, is also said to have committed a crime in Limburg +++ let the USA From November 8th, travelers from Germany will return to the country when they are fully vaccinated, and Lufthansa is therefore pleased about the strong demand for flights +++ the Rimini altar in the Liebieghaus in Frankfurt has been restored and an exhibition shows how it is happened.

Kind regards, stay with us
