Good evening,

Being in a civil service is something special, also financially.

Middle-aged people can rub their eyes when they see what their net income is and how much more they would be left with in government employment for the same gross salary.

The differences are immense.

They are all the more so where particularly qualified people are needed, the selection is strict and at the same time the competition is fierce, only then it is the other way round.

In order to be able to become a judge or public prosecutor as a lawyer, a young person has to pass top exams, but with one they can also become a top earner in the private sector in one of the many law firms.

Whether for financial reasons or simply because the shortage of skilled workers is all-encompassing in the judiciary, given the demographic structure and the upcoming retirement of the so-called baby boomers:

there is a lack of people there.

The state of Hesse is reacting to the shortage with a new reduction in the grade requirements for judges and public prosecutors.

In the future, applicants must have a total of 15 points in both state examinations, previously it was 16;

instead of eight points, only 7.5 points must come from the second exam, in exceptional cases seven are sufficient.

Anna-Sophia Lang reports.

Honour:

The local advisory board responsible for the station area spoke out almost unanimously in favor of this.

The railway has already agreed.

It is certain that the Frankfurt City Council is now acting accordingly.

Schindler, who saved more than 1,200 Jews from dying in Nazi death camps during World War II, lived opposite the main station from 1965 until his death in 1974 as a largely unknown person.

the future , the address will remain "Am Hauptbahnhof".

Publicist Michel Friedman, among others, spoke out in favor of the award.

Thorsten Winter reports on the decision of the local council.

Hans Riebsamen wrote down why Friedman feels particularly connected to Oskar Schindler.

Trouble:

Viticulture is agriculture, the care of vine slopes and vineyards has laws and freedom from conventional to biodynamic cultivation.

Now the two Hessian wine-growing associations for the Rheingau and the Bergstrasse have turned

.

They should be completely banned in so-called sensitive areas, a three meter wide buffer strip should be maintained and outside of the special locations the use of pesticides should be limited to 50 percent of what was applied on average in the years 2015 to 2017.

According to the winegrowers, this suggestion amounts to a partial “closure of viticulture” and a professional ban for winegrowers in the classic and landscape-defining steep slopes of Lorch, Assmannshausen and Rüdesheim.

Oliver Bock reports.

And also

heavy rain on Wednesday night in Rüsselsheim made two underpasses full and impassable

the initial reception facility for refugees in Hesse is currently around 70 percent full and the regional council in Gießen calls the situation tense but manageable
