Today in Rhein-Main: the judiciary can no longer do it

Good evening,

a few weeks ago there was an extremely disturbing report in the FAZ: the district court in Darmstadt announced that it was capitulating.

Lawyers, of course, put it more formally.

Literally it was said that the lack of staff was so overburdened that the court could no longer work properly.

Now the President of the Higher Regional Court in Frankfurt, Roman Poseck, has followed suit.

Numerous procedures because of Corona, also because of the diesel scandal in the car industry, new requirements for on-call service - there are many reasons why the current number of judges is no longer sufficient, and the judiciary is therefore overloaded.

what to say

The judiciary must function in a constitutional state.

It's not a luxury, it's the basis of everything.

Manfred Koehler

Head of department of the Rhein-Main editorial team of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

• Follow I follow

In any case, it should not be due to missing tax payments.

Anyone who does not begrudge Deutsche Bank the billions in profits that it announced on Thursday for 2021 can at least enjoy the fact that earnings before taxes are 3.4 billion euros, but only 2.5 billion after taxes.

Apart from that, as a Frankfurter, you should be happy when the most important local bank is doing well again - it is the highest profit in a decade.

70,000 jobs depend on the financial center as a whole.

Not everyone in the banks gets dream salaries, and neither do many others in Frankfurt.

You will all find it good news that, according to an overview by the chambers of industry and commerce, the rise in rents in the Main metropolis has come to a standstill.

The prices for residential property, on the other hand, have continued to rise during the pandemic.

A detached house in the Dornbusch district can cost 1.6 million euros.

phew!

Incidentally, lottery tickets for the Saturday draw can still be handed in today.

And also on the culture page of the Rhein-Main-Zeitung on Friday the director Antonia Kilian will be presented +++ the raid in a Rüdesheim shisha bar unexpectedly led the investigators on the trail of a gang of vaccination pass thieves and forgers +++ found in the Rhein-Main-Zeitung on Friday a large report about the Mainzer Landstrasse in Frankfurt.

I wish you a pleasant evening

Yours, Manfred Koehler

The tip for the weekend

Beautifully large, beautifully chic, beautifully casual - that's the relatively new restaurant "Soho" on the ground floor of the Winx Tower on the so-called Maintor area.

You can order a cocktail there and have a bite to eat with it, but you can also limit yourself to one drink or eat an entire menu.

Dishes come from the kitchen that convince with their mixture of finesse and fine rusticity.

This is contemporary, urban hospitality that can currently be found in many metropolises - and the "Soho" is also a real asset for Frankfurt.

"Soho", Neue Mainzer Strasse 6-10, Frankfurt.
