Today in Rhein-Main: Feldmann and no end

Good evening,

your mayor's name is still Peter Feldmann.

However, it could be that it will soon be up to you whether it stays that way.

Feldmann made a much-anticipated statement outside his office on Wednesday.

He apologized for the embarrassment surrounding Eintracht's win in Seville, but has not spoken of resigning.

But now all the relevant parties in Frankfurt are demanding it, including his own, the SPD.

Leaving the matter alone no longer works, and so a vote-out procedure will probably be initiated.

So it could be that you will soon be called to the polls to decide Feldmann's political fate.

Frankfurt has

so many other problems.

In the north end there is a dispute about how far the celebrations in public places can go, in Sachsenhausen there should be a lot of excitement that there will be no post office at the south station in the future.

Correct: No Postbank branch that also offers postal services.

Most customers will not miss the bank service so much as the opportunity to drop off and pick up parcels and buy stamps there, for example.

South of Sachsenhausen

is the Frankfurt City Forest, and it is 650 years old this year.

That means the city of Frankfurt took over this forest 650 years ago, it was of course there before that.

He is not doing particularly well, the drought and heat are bothering him, as became clear at a ceremony to mark the anniversary.

After all: It should be the largest contiguous city forest in Germany.

That caresses the Frankfurt soul.

And should be reason enough to continue to take good care of it.

And

it could also be that the eighteen-year-old, who attacked an elementary school in the United States and killed 19 students and two teachers, could be traced to Frankfurt – the perpetrator had apparently written with a girl from the Main metropolis +++ the "Baroque am Main" festival back after the Corona break +++ the fashion company S. Oliver invests on the Zeil.

I wish you a pleasant evening

Yours, Manfred Koehler

The tip for the weekend

The Schönborn winery has largely said goodbye to the Rheingau and is concentrating on its Franconian vineyards.

Many winegrowers have taken advantage of the great wealth of vineyards in the Rheingau - first and foremost the Weingut Künstler, which has taken over the famous Marcobrunn, among other things.

And that's not all: Artists have opened the wine bar "Pfaffenberg 53" in the old Schönborn vinotheque in Hattenheim.

An exceptionally beautiful place with a cozy terrace, where the wines from Künstler and Schönborn are served from Thursday to Sunday.
