Today in Rhein-Main: Bad Vilbel seals itself off

Good evening,

continues, and Hesse's Minister of Art Angela Dorn (Die Grünen) has now become very, very careful in her choice of words.

"We have to work through how it happened at the Documenta that such visual language was shown publicly," Dorn said on Wednesday, emphasizing that her statements were "not a final statement."

In state politics, the bewilderment at the anti-Semitic pictures in Kassel is great, as Ewald Hetrodt, the state political correspondent for the Rhein-Main editorial team of the FAZ, writes.

The debate has only just begun.

However, the debate

about a tram route from Frankfurt to Bad Vilbel has ended.

Politicians from regional cooperation may speak up on Sundays, but everyday life is different.

A rail link would have made it more attractive for motorists to switch from cars.

But tracks would have had to be laid on the streets in Bad Vilbel.

There are tracks in dozens of cities in Germany without anyone being upset.

That's not possible in Bad Vilbel.

Mechthild Harting writes in her comment that it was a decision that was out of time.

Whether the chapter on Peter Feldmann

in the book on Frankfurt's mayors in the past and present will be closed early may be decided on November 6th.

On that Sunday, the citizens of the Main metropolis could be called upon to decide on Feldmann's deselection.

At least that's what Councilwoman Eileen O'Sullivan (Volt), responsible for elections, suggests.

According to the municipal ordinance, voting could take place every Sunday between mid-October and mid-January, but holidays, the World Cup and the Advent season reduce the dates that come into question considerably.

And in addition

, Frankfurt publishers present themselves at the weekend in the central library, Florian Balke provides information in advance +++ solar panels are to be built on the roof of the Main-Taunus-Zentrum +++ this weekend is Architecture Day, Rainer Schulze gives an overview, what to see then.

I wish you a pleasant evening

Yours, Manfred Koehler
