Today in Rhein-Main: Get out of the lion's den

Good evening,

the forecasts are increasing that there will soon be enough living space instead of too little.

That is not the case yet, at least not where it is urgently needed, for example for refugees from the Ukraine in Wiesbaden.

Meanwhile, friends of organ music can look forward to a day for a baroque organ and tell young entrepreneurs what can happen behind the scenes of a business talent show.

Entrepreneurial spirit:

Founders associate a lot of hope with an invitation to present their business idea or their product on the television show The Lion's Den.

Prominent potential investors signal interest or not, millions of people are watching: not a bad stage.

Not even for the young entrepreneurs from Dreieich, who were able to present a dating app called “chaanz” on the show last year and convince two of the jurors to buy company shares for a six-figure sum each.

On the business page of the Rhein-Main-Zeitung, Katharina Thümler describes why nothing came of it and what became of the business idea.

body of sound:

"The Lord be praised with strings and shawms and melodious harps." This is the Latin inscription on the front of the Onymus organ in the Ilbenstadt Basilica, the former abbey church of Niddatal, created by the Mainz organ builder Johann Onymus and completed in 1735 The organ, which is considered a masterpiece and marks the last high point of Mainz organ building in the Baroque period, has had its fair share of time, often in good faith, if it has been repaired, for example, but not properly.

Even before the start of the corona pandemic, a restoration was started in accordance with the requirements of monument preservation and the repaired instrument will be consecrated on Sunday.

Who is interested: The Catholic parish invites you to the day of the organ consecration,

it begins at 10 a.m. with a pontifical mass with Bishop Peter Kohlgraf of Mainz.

Tours begin at 2:00 p.m. and again at 2:45 p.m., during which the restoration work is explained in words and pictures and the special sound patterns of the instrument are presented.

At 5 p.m. there will be an organ concert (Kirchgasse 16 in Niddatal-Ilbenstadt).

Housing shortages:

Those who come as refugees are given accommodation.

This is often not easy, especially in cities.

Around 3,400 Ukrainian refugees are currently seeking protection from the war in their homeland in Wiesbaden, and the influx is continuing, albeit at a comparatively low level.

Head of Social Affairs Christoph Manjura (SPD) says that several hundred Ukrainians who are still living with relatives and friends will soon need apartments.

And: Around 800 Ukrainians have already received a residence permit in Wiesbaden, and 100 to 200 are added every week.

These people can apply for social housing.

However, the chance of being able to move into a subsidized apartment in Wiesbaden is slim.

The city is looking for ways and buildings to alleviate the housing shortage of the refugees.

Robert Mouse reports.

And in addition

, despite the Ukraine war and delivery bottlenecks, unemployment in Hesse has fallen and as of April 12, 156,245 people were registered as unemployed, 2,500 fewer than in March +++ rescue helicopters in Hesse flew 5,263 missions last year, after 5,044 missions in 2020 ++ + the Hessian SPD will elect a new state executive at a party conference in Marburg on Saturday and the incumbent state chairwoman, Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser, wants to run for the post again.

Stay healthy, stay with us
