our special edition with the focus on Frankfurt and Rhine-Main generated very positive reactions last week.
A reader only wrote from northern Schleswig-Holstein as to whether we might have made an advertising expense that the city marketing should have paid for.
I strongly disagree, because the paper was not just cheering - on the contrary.
And yet, self-confidence and pride in the home of the “Frankfurter”, as the FAZ is often called at the kiosk, was already there, that's true.
In this respect, we are very pleased that you particularly liked a piece from the issue.
In the digital age, you can tell something like this by how often such a text is read - and how many interested parties are even willing to pay a small fee for it.
It is a work by colleague Simon Strauss from the features section.
In it he looks at Frankfurt from Berlin.
You will learn from him why you might have made a mistake in choosing the capital.
And what else the Hessen metropolis has ahead of the world-famous Nordstern.

“If you look at your temporary adopted home of Frankfurt from your place of birth Berlin, you feel as if you are thinking of an uncle who is familiar despite the distance: where it was always pleasantly neat and good to eat, who never started a fight broke, never became insulting, kindly noted every bend in the résumé and calmly offered his help in emergencies. Who had a lot of experience, but did not boast about it, who did not show off, did not flaunt himself, but on the contrary liked to let others do it and withdrew. A good advisor, a quiet companion, a coordinate that you can always count on - that is Frankfurt when viewed from Berlin. "
You can't say more about it - let's turn to issues that are building up the whole of Germany. Construction specialist Dietmar Walberg, for example, refuses to keep increasing the energy requirements for buildings.
Christoph Schäfer from our business editorial team had a conversation with him about nonsensical guidelines, missing craftsmen and bursting house dreams.
The key point: “Everything under the Efficiency House 70 is uneconomical.” Why? “It's about how much energy a person uses who lives in the building. And below the efficiency house 70, the effect is barely measurable if I continue to raise the energy standards. Anyone who lives in an efficiency house 40 will generally not consume significantly less energy than someone in an efficiency house 70. ”Interesting: Walberg expresses a thought that everyone who has recently dealt with the subject of a new building has had Has.
There remains a reference to a piece by my colleague Thomas Klemm about the Tesla phenomenon.
Should you buy such a car?
Or would you prefer the share?
Maybe both better not?
Of course, Klemm doesn't answer these questions directly, but the way he impales the discussions about the cult object and its creator Elon Musk is a real hit.
There are also two brand new productions for Tesla in our podcast offer: the Digitec podcast on Elon Musk and the finance podcast on the share.
