Today in Rhein-Main: Wonderful winter day before school starts

Good evening,

hand on heart: Saturday was great.

Comparatively high snow had fallen overnight, in the morning the sun was shining - a perfect day to go outside and take great photos.

Or while jogging to try out whether the new shoes are really waterproof for such weather conditions.

By the way, they were.

On the other hand, one’s joy is always another’s pain.

Traffic on motorways 3 and 5 came to a standstill at times.

The police blocked the A3 between the Wiesbadener Kreuz and the Limburg Süd junction for almost five hours in both directions.

There trucks had parked themselves across the slippery road.

Clearance vehicles did not come through.

Oh dear, the main thing is that the way to Willingen is clear.

Small joke.

It's over with fun now anyway, because school is starting again. The pupils and teachers in Hessen will return to their school buildings on Monday. And the question of whether face-to-face lessons would be possible again was an important topic for children, young people, parents, educators, politicians and representatives of associations during the Christmas holidays. Florentine Fritzen has brought together all the votes. The Ministry of Education believes it has the situation under control, students and parents are skeptical. One thing is certain: the advances in the digitization of schools and their WLAN networks are likely to be more comprehensive. And there will be a lot of fingers crossed for the Omikron weeks that lie ahead of us.

The managers behind the Tigerpalst do not want to rely on that alone. The duo Elja, the world-famous identical twin sisters from the Wetterau, are still balancing there on the trapeze. But the lights will soon go out in the Frankfurt Variety Theater on Heiligkreuzgasse. The last show takes place on January 23, the Tigerpalast ends its winter season prematurely. The season started well, reports managing director Robert Mangold, after more than a year of forced Corona break, many were eager for acrobatics and stage art. But when more and more warnings of a new corona wave became loud, ticket sales suddenly fell. The good news is that the Tiger Palace will reopen in autumn. The first show is scheduled to take place on September 15th. Until then, the three hopethe coronavirus will be tamed and a reasonably normal business will be possible again. We hope with you.

And in addition, a 51-year-old man shot a 42-year-old acquaintance in downtown Wiesbaden on Saturday night and seriously injured +++ the facilities of the penal system in Hesse are working at the limit of capacity.

At the end of last year, 884 of 895 places in six facilities were occupied +++ The investigation into a zone of more than five square kilometers in the west and southwest of the American airbase in Erbenheim has been completed and gives cause for relief: the chemical soil pollution found there is very high lower than in the neighboring zone "Area 12".

Have a good new week,

Your Carsten Knop
