News from the Awo scandal: The Frankfurt district association of workers' welfare (AWO) has to accept setbacks in the dispute with the former managing director Jürgen Richter and in the attempt to compensate for the damage that the former management team is said to have caused.

Among other things, the claim for damages against Jürgen Richter has so far been unsuccessful, the proceedings are suspended and the parties have agreed on a settlement.

As part of the settlement, the AWO undertakes to grant Richter insurance cover.

Just over a year ago, the new AWO leadership sued Richter for a severance payment that he had ordered to be paid to the former deputy managing director of the district association.

According to FAZ information, this severance payment amounts to around 500,000 euros.

The attempt to get the money back from Richter has failed for the time being.

Other payments that have been made are also up for debate, with demands being made that the insurance company pays, which, also according to information from the FAZ, is not willing to do.

Martin Ochmann reports in the Rhein-Main-Zeitung.

New corona rules: Several corona rules have fallen in Hesse, including the previous contact restrictions for the unvaccinated.

At events, there are no longer any specifications for the number of spectators and the collection of contact details is being phased out.

The other Hessian corona measures will initially remain in place until April 2nd.

A 3-G certificate is also required to visit restaurants or to stay overnight in a hotel.

The following applies to indoor spaces as well as gardens and terraces: guests must be vaccinated, recovered or tested negative.

Discos, clubs and other dance halls are only allowed to open their indoor areas with the 2-G-plus requirement, so guests without a booster vaccination need a daily test.

The mask requirement and distance and hygiene concepts also continue to apply to the previous extent.

Accordingly, mouth and nose protection must be worn indoors, for example in shops and in restaurants, up to the square.

Masks are compulsory outside if the distances cannot be maintained.

3G also applies indoors in sports and museums.

There are no longer any restrictions on private meetings - they were abolished for vaccinated and recovered people at the beginning of March.

In Rhineland-Palatinate, some rules will also remain in place for the time being.

Masks are still mandatory in retail and other non-controlled public areas.

The background: The previous federal regulation of corona protection measures has expired, which means that the majority of the requirements are no longer applicable.

However, a number of countries are using a transitional period during which they can leave existing rules in force, this period ends on April 2nd.

The rules are then expected to largely disappear nationwide.

In an interview with the FAZ, infectiologists from Hesse criticized on Saturday that masks would then only be mandatory in nursing homes, hospitals and on buses and trains.

Necessary work: Along the federal highway 45 in the Offenbach district, trees will be felled on Monday and until April 1st.

Only diseased trunks are sawed off and dropped.

How many there are, what logistics are required for what happens to bird nests that have been built in such trees, is in the Rhein-Main-Zeitung of the FAZ

And in addition

5.5 million trees are to be planted on damaged areas in the Hessian state forest this year, also with the help of Actions for volunteers, to which many forestry offices call

The Hessian Prime Minister Volker Bouffier (CDU) has the former federal constitutional judge Herbert Landau, the former Bundestag Vice President Hermann Otto Solms (FDP), the former mayor of Rüsselsheim Ottilia Geschka (CDU) and the nurse Zeynep Kallmayer for services to the common good and for democracy awarded the Wilhelm Leuschner Medal of the State of Hesse.
