Good evening,


today there are three pieces of good news to read here, I promise!

That has to be the case in gloomy Corona times.

We start at the Grzimek house in the zoo, which visitors tend to underestimate.

Because there are rather small animals living there, many nocturnal, others like to hide.

So you hardly ever discover them.

This is a pity.

Because a little sensation has lived in this house since it was born on October 26th: Another finger animal that owes its German name to a thin middle finger with a claw.

His birth was special.

Because Aye-Ayes, as the animals are also called, have a very low reproductive rate.

So welcome to Frankfurt, good news number one.

Number two: The number of car jams in Wiesbaden should be significantly reduced. Because that is where the Digi-V model project started its work. In the future, digital traffic control should steer thousands of cars in an environmentally and city-friendly manner. The fun costs 30 million euros; after that, Wiesbaden should have the smartest traffic lights in Germany.

Good news number 3: The chances that cars from Rüsselsheim will still be parked in front of these traffic lights have just increased again. Because the first DS4 vehicles have just been manufactured there. Like Opel itself, DS belongs to the Stellantis Group and is a sister brand from France. Stellantis counts them in the premium segment. The DS4 is being built on a platform that also enables electrified cars. With this model and the new Astra, Opel will "launch into the age of electromobility in Rüsselsheim," the company quotes its plant manager Michael Lewald. For the employees there, it would be nice if the plans worked out.

In addition

, the coalition agreement between the SPD, the Greens and the FDP in Berlin is intended to accelerate the expansion of wind power.

But that brings difficulties +++ the cultural-political spokeswoman for the Green Group, Mirjam Schmidt, has spoken out in favor of the preservation of the art column in Sachsenhausen +++ the Frankfurt first to sixth graders are still waiting for the mobile air filter devices that are in their July had been promised until the start of the cold season.

Now it is said that “in December” the time has come.

Stay healthy,

Your Carsten Knop

The tip for the weekend

November 25, 2021

The Jagdschloss Platte is a popular excursion destination, and people from Wiesbaden are drawn there at any time of the year.

In the inn next to the renovated ruins, the well-known Gollner family of restaurateurs has long stood for continuity, then various tenants struggled at the traditional location until culinary stability and quality came back some time ago with head chef Patrick Maurice.

Its combination of classic German tavern dishes and typical French cuisine makes the house again a recommendable address.

Gasthof Jagdschloss Platte, Platte 1, on the B 417, Wiesbaden, phone 06 11/53 24 97 00, Internet www.gasthof-jagdschlossplatte.de.
