The first National Assembly met in Frankfurt's Paulskirche from May 1848 to May 1849, in March 1849 the members of parliament passed the Frankfurt Imperial Constitution, and in 2023 175 years of the Paulskirche will be celebrated.

The city is making more than three million euros available for the program, part of which is being designed by the "Netzwerk Paulskirche".

On Monday it presented the key points, we will present them to you, in the newspaper and on the Internet.

Meanwhile, the energy suppliers are having difficulties with specifications from Berlin, students have money worries and there is still no answer to the question of a new location for the municipal theater in Frankfurt.

News from the region at the end of the day.

The supply crisis: Ways out are urgently sought, as are temporary solutions.

The new warning level in the gas emergency plan announced by Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck (Die Grünen) also requires energy producers in the Rhine-Main region.

They should burn coal instead of natural gas in their power plants;

if they don't, sanctions could be imposed in the foreseeable future.

This is particularly problematic for the power plants Mainz-Wiesbaden AG, which produces electricity and district heating for the cities of Mainz and Wiesbaden, with a gas-fired power plant on the Ingelheimer Aue, among other things.

The CEO of the power plants supports the decision from Berlin.

And criticize them too.

Inga Janovic writes why.

The question of location: where should the municipal theaters in Frankfurt have their future headquarters, and what should it look like?

Should the houses be separated or not?

The city councilors want to decide on the location by the end of the year.

One of several possibilities is the so-called "culture mile": On Neue Mainzer Straße, a section of the stages could be given quarters next to a high-rise building.

For this, the city needs a plot of land from the Sparkasse an der Wallanlage.

The culture department has entered into talks with the Sparkasse, the talks have been well received, according to the municipality.

The board of directors of Landesbank Hessen Thüringen, to which the savings bank belongs, described it differently on Monday.

And two other variants of what the future of the stage could look like are also still under discussion.

The problems of the students: It is certainly not the rule that the years of study are the ones in which one does not have to worry about money.

And that students generally live on a smaller scale than they will later on is rather normal.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, however, many things are no longer normal.

First, many students lost job opportunities during the lockdown.

Now they are struggling, which shakes everyone, the general price increases, the higher ancillary costs.

In many places, dormitory operators have also raised rents, and food in the canteens costs more than before.

Life is also becoming more expensive for students.

And more and more are turning to the advice centers of the universities when they have financial difficulties.

Anna Schiller reports on the university page of the Rhein-Main-Zeitung.

And in addition

 , the number of baker apprentices in Hesse fell by almost a third between 2016 and 2021, from 415 in 2016 to 283 last year 

Eintracht Frankfurt says it now has 110,000 members 

the Federal Cartel Office has the Takeover of the Tierklinik Hofheim by the international clinic chain Evidensia allowed.

Kind regards from the editorial team
