The calls to show solidarity do not stop.

Dark chapter:
The Frankfurter Sparkasse from 1822 is 200 years old, that's a reason to celebrate, actually.
A dispute over how to come to terms with their history overshadows the anniversary of the bank.
It is about the question of what should be read in a publication about the involvement of the house in the crimes after 1933.
On June 24th, the 200th anniversary will be celebrated with a ceremony in the society house of the Frankfurter Palmengarten.
A commemorative publication is to be published on this occasion with a scholarly review of the history of the house.
The Institute for Banking and Financial History in Frankfurt's Westend was commissioned to find authors.
For the years up to 1970, Ralf Roth was won, a professor at the Goethe University and recognized as an expert on Frankfurt history.
But now the management of the savings bank, the author and the institute have been arguing for months about the chapters that deal with the history of the then two savings banks in Frankfurt under National Socialism, and about the presentation of the question of how the bank changed after 1945 his past.
The Frankfurt Savings Bank of 1822, supported by the Polytechnic Society, changed management in 1935. The new boss was a party member, and Jews in the workforce were apparently pushed out.
The Jews among the customers, on the other hand, had to accept that the bank was involved in their gradual expropriation in accordance with the new perfidious regulations.
A second scientist is now dealing with these chapters.
Manfred Köhler explains why.
Unusual exhibition:
A show with "Escape Rooms" transforms the city museum in Hofheim into an adventure playground.
By solving riddles and picking locks, both children and employees learn a lot about teamwork – and about freedom.
"Escape to Freedom" is the name of the exhibition that opens on Sunday.
Children and young people from the age of ten to the beginning of August can play escape adventures in five rooms, as can adults.
The principle is well known: the clock is ticking, within half an hour you have to solve the riddles of the room and escape to freedom.
There are many commercial so-called escape rooms with more or less threateningly sophisticated game scenarios;
why would people who enjoy something like this go to a museum for it?
The special thing is the form of communication and the care given to visitors, says the museum director.
Milieu protection remains:
The milieu protection statutes, which are intended to protect tenants from displacement in the Frankfurt districts of Nordend and Sachsenhausen, remain in place.
On Thursday, the Hessian Administrative Court in Kassel rejected a lawsuit by the real estate company Franconofurt against the city.
The company had taken action against the three statutes of Nordend-Mitte, Nordend-Süd and Sachsenhausen-Nord because, in its opinion, they were based on outdated data and displacement tendencies could not be proven.
The judges did not agree.
