Today in Rhein-Main: The very young Frankfurt

Good evening,

Frankfurt is young, very young.

No major German city has a younger population.

Would you have thought so?

That's why the adult education center isn't just for older students. Take a look at the new program with us, especially if you're young at heart.

A well-known evergreen, however, are strikes at peak travel times, this time Lufthansa customers are hit.

young city:

The city of Frankfurt has a reputation as a banking and finance metropolis.

No one has yet come up with the idea of ​​advertising it as “the young city on the Main”.

The statement would be covered by the statistics.

Only 15.7 percent of Frankfurters are older than 65 years.

This is the lowest value among the 15 largest German cities - in the front-runner Essen, 21.8 percent of the residents have reached retirement age.

When it comes to the proportion of children under the age of 14, Frankfurt is again higher than average at 14.5 percent.

Findings of this kind can be read about what Bernhard Biener has done in the most recent volume of “Frankfurt am Main in Regional and Large City Comparison 2020”, which has just been published.

"It's exciting that we have so few seniors in the city," said City Councilor Eileen O'Sullivan (Volt), responsible for statistics.

New strike:

Lufthansa canceled almost all flights to and from Frankfurt scheduled for Wednesday.

The reason is the warning strike announced by the Verdi union in the wage round for the airline's around 20,000 ground workers, which is scheduled to start at 3:45 a.m. on Wednesday and last until 6 a.m. on Thursday.

In Frankfurt, 678 flights had to be canceled, the first 32 on Tuesday.

Lufthansa put the number of passengers affected at 92,000.

You need strong nerves when traveling these days;

good if you're still young.

New program:

The adult education center has set itself a main topic for the fall and winter months.

It's about learning outside, in motion or at least in the fresh air.

Numerous courses lead to the Ostpark, to the Stadtwald and across the city.

At least Kleist knew that thoughts are best developed gradually while talking.

They may even do it better if you don't sit still, but move.

So on a walk: Think while walking, learn while moving.

How well this works can be tried out in numerous courses.

The new program is still hot off the press and includes around 2,300 courses.

Almost a hundred of them take place in the open air. 

And in addition

the majority of retailers in Hesse apparently shy away from the Internet: More than 60 percent of all retail companies do not have their own website, and 90 percent do not have their own online shop, as a new study by the State Statistical Office shows.
