did you know that "the" Hessian doesn't even exist?

What there is here, however, is a very unpleasant corruption affair at the Frankfurt public prosecutor's office.

And a policy in Frankfurt's Römer that doesn't necessarily help to develop urban properties more quickly.

Delay:

The coalition in the Frankfurt Römer wants to allocate more urban land in so-called concept procedures.

but the one who presents the best concept and fulfills the city's award criteria as best as possible.

The reason for the new definition is the political dispute over Stiftstraße 32, a residential and commercial building from the 1950s in the city center.

The project developer Andrzej Lyson should actually be able to lease the property there and in return undertake to build 30 percent of the apartments in the planned six to seven-storey new building in subsidized housing.

In addition, Lyson wanted to accommodate a cultural use on the ground floor and also planned housing for people with disabilities.

But that was obviously not enough for the city councillors.

He is accused of commercial bribery, breach of trust in office and tax evasion.

The damage for the state of Hesse is said to be around 500,000 euros.

Traffic

As one of eleven side streets, the Grüneburgweg is to be converted into a bicycle-friendly side street.

This requires a partial renovation of the road surface.

The responsible Office for Road Construction and Development (ASE) will tackle this from Monday, April 25th.

Due to the work, lanes will be reduced on Grüneburgweg, between Eschersheimer Landstrasse and Liebigstrasse, until Friday, May 13th.

Pedestrians can pass through the construction site.
