what is this newsletter about?

To left, right, up and down.

The left is still being shaken violently.

On Thursday in Frankfurt there was a kind of rescue operation for the party's only remaining federal chairman: the Hessian state chairmen Petra Heimer and Jan Schalauske admitted in a press conference that mistakes and omissions in dealing with the reports of sexual assaults in the party had been made, but assured before above all, Janine Wissler is by no means to blame for all of this.

May such pro-party behavior pay off for Heimer and Schalauske one day.

After all, Wissler was the dominant figure of the party in this state at the time in question.

A residential building is being built to the right of downtown Frankfurt, i.e. in the Ostend, and that is taking longer than planned.

It's two years late.

A catastrophe for those who bought a condominium there and want to move in themselves.

Rainer Schulze reports on people in a situation that one would not wish on anyone.

At the top is still Howard Carpendale, who has started a tour in Frankfurt's Centennial Hall and, even at the age of 76, can still easily deliver a three-hour show, which, according to our music critic Michael Köhler, has delighted the predominantly female audience.

Then a happy Hello again!

There is also something to discover down in Frankfurt: the Roman city of Nida in the north of the city is gradually being excavated.

In this way you can learn something about the life of the Romans in this area in the past, as reported by colleague Matthias Trautsch.

The Frankfurt soul is caressed by the realization that Nida was by no means just any provincial backwater.

And in addition

, there is still a lack of charging stations for e-cars in Hesse, more than anywhere else

the first strawberries in the region are already ripening in the foil tunnel

this week's hiking tip from the Rhein-Main editorial team leads to Cölbe.

I wish you a pleasant evening

Yours, Manfred Koehler

The tip for the weekend

Ciriaco Cavallo is unstoppable.

His "Isoletta" universe grows and grows.

What began more than 40 years ago in Frankfurt's Westend with an Italian family restaurant has now become a veritable gastro group.

In addition to the parent company and other restaurants, he now also runs a handful of restaurants under the “Isoletta PMP” label.

The abbreviation stands for pinsa (a type of thick pizza made from a particularly fluffy dough), homemade mozzarella and classic pasta dishes.

A kind of showpiece is the PMP restaurant on Mainzer Landstrasse in Frankfurt.

"Isoletta PMP", Mainzer Landstrasse 176, Frankfurt, Telephone 0 69 / 75 00 93 93, Internet www.isoletta-pmp.de.
