Today in Rhein-Main: Feldmann appears before the press

Good evening,

This is currently the most discussed question in political Frankfurt.

One thesis: Because a deselection, if the city council decides on it in the next week, would have to take place in January at the latest - Feldmann is therefore based on the month in which he would then possibly go.

Another thesis: He hopes to be acquitted by then in the trial that begins on October 18, so that he could withdraw his announcement in January.

There may be answers on Friday: the mayor of Frankfurt wants to speak to the press at 12 noon.

He is sure to attract attention again.

• Follow I follow

But who will follow Feldmann?

Whatever the details of the next few months will be for the current mayor, at some point Frankfurt will need a new mayor.

Mechthild Harting and Bernhard Biener provide an overview.

At this early stage, however, the field of candidates is still broad, as can be seen from a quote from Green Party spokeswoman Julia Frank: "We are in talks with people." That's reassuring.

And will the one who succeeds Feldmann enjoy this position?

Imagine that a mayor is all about the broad lines, perspectives and visions, but when the Queen or Mr Macron are not visiting, local politics is often a matter of black bread.

In Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen, for example, there should finally be a Sunday shopping on the occasion of the Swiss street festival, but the courts have forbidden it.

How to help local trade?

That would also be a question that local politicians could deal with again.

When finally the mayor scandal stopped dominating everything.

And

Monika Ganster also writes about the big public test confusion +++ the Giersch Museum in Frankfurt shows pictures from the Bundesbank collection, Florian Balke has already viewed the exhibition +++ the drought harms a lot in nature, but it helps butterflies (how beautiful) and wasps (how ugly).

Wishing you a pleasant evening without wasps

Yours, Manfred Koehler

The tip for the weekend

Aaron Bühler and Florenc Spahiu breathed new life into the old Weinhaus Kögler in Wiesbaden with their "Anstossig".

In the historic house, in which wine has been served for more than a century, but in the end one operator after another only accompanied the gastronomic descent, they have created a beautiful restaurant with a lot of commitment and an eye for detail, which combines tradition and modernity brings into harmony - namely with a well thought-out culinary program of German tapas dishes and regional and international wines.
