Eintracht Frankfurt's mega game on Wednesday evening echoed on Thursday, many drones from Weiterstadt could soon take off, Wiesbaden has little money and Mainz has a lot.

An overview at the end of the day, today again with a tip for the weekend.

Freude:

That can't be said often enough, it will be said often and the pictures of it will be shown again and again: Eintracht Frankfurt beat Glasgow Rangers on penalties in the final of the Europa League.

A wonderful triumph for players and fans that can unleash endless emotions over a long period of time.

On Thursday they were first lived out en masse in downtown Frankfurt.

The editors report on the aftermath of the historic evening.

Hope:

They have a wingspan of almost two meters and can transport packages weighing up to six kilograms over a distance of up to 75 kilometers: Cargo drones manufactured by the startup Wingcopter in Weiterstadt, Hesse.

The market for small ground-controlled aircraft is growing;

Wingcopter's closest competitor is based in California.

The Hessians could now receive a large order, the area of ​​​​application for the drones would be outside of Europe.

proclamation:

Mainz, until recently a financially rather straitened municipality, can reorganize the city's finances, and not only that. Under the motto "Giving back" the citizens should benefit from the almost unimaginable windfall of money that is currently falling over the city.

Fifty million euros are available for this, announced Mayor Michael Ebling (SPD) and Finance Director Günter Beck (Die Grünen).

The projects mentioned: improvements to the tram network and the purchase of additional electric buses;

the financing of a 365 euro ticket initially for students and trainees, the renovation of a swimming pool.

Mainz owes the money to the tax payments from Biontech.

On the other hand, in Wiesbaden, on the other side of the Rhine, there are signs of a budget freeze due to a considerable deficit.

And in addition

, the Catholic community of Sankt Bonifatius in Frankfurt has offered a reward of 3,000 euros for information about the whereabouts of a stolen altar cross +++ 40 people in a school in Kassel suffered eye irritation and breathing difficulties from an as yet unknown irritant that an unknown person in the toilet rooms +++ the Lufthansa Group says it wants to hire 280 pilots from the subsidiary Germanwings, who have been made redundant for operational reasons, on comparable terms in an intermediate company, which is being negotiated with the pilots' union.

The tip for the weekend

Close to the city and yet in a place that awakens holiday feelings in visitors: Frankfurters find this luxury in the garden of the Schlosshotel Kronberg.

Not far from the imposing main building, the traditional establishment set up an open-air restaurant last year.

It is located in front of the Cottage in the Park, which has not been open to the public up to now, and is therefore called "Cottage Biergarten".

There is coffee and cake, sausages, salads and tarte flambée, beer and wine from the Prinz von Hessen winery - a nice place to relax the stressed city dweller.

"Cottage Biergarten", Hainstraße 25, Kronberg, telephone 0 61 73 / 7 01 01, Internet www.cottage-biergarten.de.

You can also read current reports from the region in Skyline-Blick, our live news blog for the Rhine-Main region, and on the Rhein-Main-Zeitung website.

Warm greetings from the editorial team
