Energy:

Hardly a day goes by without new reports on the development of energy prices.

The center has also been responsible for Rhineland-Palatinate since 2005 and for Saarland since 2014.

The Wohlfahrt-Franke winery, for example, is small and special:

.

The owners Yvette Wohlfahrt and Florian Franke attract attention without having tasted their wine, with their Instagram account, with their appearance: Rock'n'Roll in the Rheingau.

Marco Dettweiler visited the winery.
