Today in Rhein-Main: Fashion Week begins

Good evening,

The first major event of the Frankfurt Fashion Week, which officially begins on Monday, has just taken place in the trading room of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Of course, the Hessian data protection officer has other things on his mind – data protection at Facebook is a thorn in his side.

And our former editor Werner D'Inka has traveled a lot by train in the past few weeks.

He was no more enthusiastic about that than the data protection officer was about the offers on American social media platforms.

In both cases there are alternatives, but they are not convincing in all cases.

Fashion: Fashion potential and space for extravagant events can also be found in the Main metropolis.

From Monday on there will be presentations in the Karmeliterkloster, on the roof of the Hotel Sofitel at the Alte Oper and in the courtyard of the Frankfurter Hof, in the Kunstverein Familie Montez and on the Union site.

In addition, the Heimtextil, the Techtextil and the Techprocess take place on the exhibition grounds.

There are three trade fairs that bring business and creativity together and, with their specialist audience, can ensure that Frankfurt becomes (even) better known as a place for fashion.

Patrica Andreae will keep an eye on fashion and its protagonists for us.

Botch: Many public bodies in Hesse have set up so-called Facebook fan pages to publish information or refer to events.

The Hessian data protection officer, Alexander Roßnagel, believes that this has to end.

Facebook uses cookies and similar technologies to collect data from all visitors to the pages of the state authorities - regardless of whether the users even have a Facebook account, criticizes the lawyer.

Facebook creates user profiles from this collected data in order to be able to place profitable individualized advertising.

That's all true.

But are the proposed alternatives really a solution?

We report and comment.

Marter: Werner D'Inka has traveled a lot by train in the past few weeks.

The same thing happened to him as to many Deutsche Bahn customers at the moment.

Cancellations and delays increased.

The story that was created for this will be read with pleasure by many under the motto "a sorrow shared is a sorrow halved", especially if they don't have to do this on a late train.

And

for the second day in a row, a man drowned while trying to cool off in the Rhine.

The body of a 28-year-old man was recovered near Mainz and Wiesbaden on Saturday evening, who is said to have climbed into the river near Biebesheim (Groß-Gerau district) on Friday and then went under shortly thereafter.

On Thursday, a 49-year-old man drowned after running over a groyne in the Rhine near Bingen with his two children aged eight and eleven and another man and falling into the river

the new Hardtberg tower opened in Königstein been and offers a great panorama.

The first visitors waver between amazement and fear of heights, writes Florentine Fritzen

several banks have recently switched to new payment cards or are planning to do so.

This can mean surprises when traveling abroad, because not all credit cards are the same, as Falk Heunemann shows.

Greetings from the editorial team and keep a cool head,

Yours, Carsten Knop
