another 24 hours.

If you read the newsletter as soon as it is published, there are still around 24 hours until kick-off in Seville.

Frankfurt lives in joyful expectation, and as a precaution, the city is already announcing how everything will go on Thursday, if Eintracht wins, the streets in the city center are closed etc... Football has everything under control, you don't know the Main metropolis like that, but how already on Monday we don't let ourselves be deterred and also write about completely different topics:

For example, about the fact that Frankfurt hasn't had a police chief for months.

It's not like there are now daily demonstrations in front of the presidium with loud requests that one be called out quickly.

But the largest city in Hesse, with all its residents willing to rally and its unfortunately considerable crime rate, without it for so long?

Our police reporter Katharina Iskandar can explain that and, during her research, she also found out what the job of the former Frankfurt CDU chairman and city councilor Jan Schneider is actually going to be.

No, he won't become chief of police.

In any case, the matter should be settled by May 2023, because then the Federal President will come and there will definitely be a lot to do for the Frankfurt police.

The 175th anniversary of the National Assembly is to be celebrated in the Paulskirche for four days, with stage programs and special exhibitions and a ceremony.

And of course not in a speech by the head of state.

It's good that some are still keeping a cool head even in these heated times.

The Association of Hessian Entrepreneurs' Associations pointed out on Tuesday that the federal state was far too indebted and lamented the lack of savings efforts.

Voices that have become rare at a time when politicians are just throwing billions around.

And in addition, Florian Balke from the culture department of the Rhein-Main editorial team

had a conversation with the writer Judith Hermann
