Today in Rhein-Main: The thread of patience is not only breaking in Hofheim

Good evening,

the mayor of Hofheim Christian Vogt (CDU) is the winner of the day. Vogt, as everyone who knows him say, is a quiet man. It is said that he is neither prone to exaggeration nor to short-circuiting actions. A lot would have to happen for the well-balanced lawyer to lose his composure. Now it has happened: Vogt is losing patience with those who have not been vaccinated, who not only contribute massively to the fact that the Hofheim Advent market has to be canceled, showmen cannot open their stalls again, and economic livelihoods are in danger. Even more: Again, municipalities and other employers would have to act as "sheriffs". The federal government must finally take action - a general vaccination requirement is necessary. We asked for this in the Rhein-Main-Zeitung some time ago.In the meantime, Prime Minister Volker Bouffier (CDU) has come to realize that without it - unfortunately - it will probably be nothing. It's a shame it had to come to this. It's good that more and more politicians are finally becoming aware of their leadership role in times of crisis.

Fortunately, the economy in the Rhine-Main region is still hopeful about the future, albeit with one important caveat.

The gross domestic product could rise by 2.5 percent this year and by as much as 5.2 percent in the next.

This emerges from the results of the business survey conducted by the Frankfurt Chamber of Commerce and other regional chambers of commerce.

However, this is at risk if there is another lockdown or other restrictions in view of the increasing number of corona infections.

So see above.

And then let's look down again: Anyone who digs deep enough into the earth in Heddernheim must be prepared for surprises. This is also true of the building plot with the address “In der Römerstadt 126-134”, on which the municipal ABG wants to build apartments. Before that, the monument office has a year to thoroughly examine the site archaeologically. The excavations have now started and some very interesting finds have already come to light. Among the 700 unique pieces that were recovered from the ground is a bulbous amphora. The large mug with a handle remained almost intact. This is also due to the fact that he apparently once fell soft. As the spokesman for the planning department explains, there was once a Roman latrine at the site. Well then.

And in addition, Mayor Peter Feldmann (SPD) and the new economic department head Stephanie Wüst (FDP) switched on the lights in the plane trees of the Zeil on Tuesday evening, one day after the opening of the Christmas market. +++ Two extreme climbers caused a stir in the banking district: The Frenchman Alain Robert known as “Spiderman” and the French climber Leo Urban reached the roof of the 153 meter high office tower “Skyper” +++ in Wiesbaden there is no more money for the Ball des Sports.

Stay healthy,
