Today in Rhein-Main: With cooking oil against stuck climate activists

Good evening,

whoever is willing to separate the layers of skin on the palm of his hand must truly act out of conviction.

Climate activists of the "last generation" have brought traffic to a standstill at several traffic junctions around Frankfurt.

As?

With simple super glue.

They smeared it on the palms of their hands and pressed them onto the asphalt.

An effective, albeit painful, measure.

Because releasing your hands again is not always possible without losing skin.

North, south, west and east of the center of the Main metropolis, there were long traffic jams on Tuesday morning due to the blockades.

The activists stopped the cars at a total of nine points.

With their actions, which will soon be followed by others, they want to force a radical change in climate policy.

It took three hours on Tuesday morning for the police to clear the last blockade.

Because separating skin, superglue and asphalt from each other is not that easy.

Our reporter Alexander Jürgs wrote down how it can succeed, what role cooking oil plays and why doctors always accompany these attempts at detachment.

There are also protests elsewhere.

Albeit less loud and less radical.

All the more impressive for that.

Demonstrators have been standing guard in front of the Consulate General of the Russian Federation on Oeder Weg in Nordend for weeks.

Every day, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., there are protests in front of the consulate.

On the first few days, it was mainly three women with Ukrainian roots who kept the vigil: two sisters from Frankfurt and a kindergarten teacher from Bad Vilbel.

They stand there in wind and weather.

After all, they don't want to be seen as fair-weather demonstrators.

The group has since expanded.

Many of those who joined the trio fled Ukraine just a few weeks ago.

And there are also supporters in the background who sometimes bring coffee or pizza.

strength to endure the action,

If UNESCO already recognizes that the cider culture is a special one, then a cider museum should not be missing.

For a few days now, Hanau's Heumarkt has been the location of what is possibly the only apple wine museum in the world.

It is 50 square meters in size and part of the "Main-Genuss-Shop" from wine press Jörg Stier.

Hundreds of exhibits on the topic of cider are shown in the "Gerippte Museum".

Among other things, you can see the world's largest cider bottle there.

It holds around 670 liters and weighs more than 300 kilograms.

According to Stier, the first exhibition, “Bembel – Lid – Gerippte” is intended to give a comprehensive overview of apple wine and the Bembel as cultural assets.

Why the "ribbed" actually adorn the apple wine glasses and what the often very individually designed lids for the glasses are all about,

experience visitors to the exhibition.

And because theory must always be followed by practice, the nearest apple wine bar is not far away.

It's getting tighter and tighter for him.

Stay healthy,
