Today in Rhein-Main: Feldmann just keeps going

Good evening,

Manfred Koehler

Head of department of the Rhein-Main editorial team of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

He recently showed the Dippemess' to the press,

he is currently on a business development trip in Tel Aviv, and he is inviting the consular corps to the Kaisersaal for the beginning of October: the mayor of Frankfurt, Peter Feldmann (SPD), who is under heavy pressure, is carrying on as before.

The city council had asked him to hold back on public appearances.

From the mayor's point of view, it's all only logical: Feldmann has long since started his election campaign, he wants the people of Frankfurt to decide on November 6 whether he should remain in office.

However, it remains unclear what the parties will do until then to convince the public of the opposite.

Placing posters and handing out leaflets should not be underestimated.

Because Frankfurt doesn't have it that way with digitization, as can be seen from a study presented on Tuesday.

After that, Darmstadt is ahead in Hesse, and Bad Nauheim is an insider tip.

Frankfurt does not get beyond the upper midfield.

Let's see how digitization councilwoman Eileen O'Sullivan from the small Volt party turns the tide in the next few years.

But digitization alone is not a solution either.

For example, the information required by house and landowners to calculate the new property tax can certainly be sent digitally to the tax authorities, but the matter is still complicated.

The majority of people in Hesse have decided to behave like they did when they were schoolchildren: homework is only done at the last moment.

So far, not even a quarter of the requested information has reached the authorities.

However, my experiences as a student are also: In the end, you can't get around the matter, it just gets more hectic.

There is still time until October 31st.

And in addition

, Eckhart Nickel, a Frankfurt author, is on the shortlist for this year's German Book Prize, his novel "Spitzweg" plays, a bit dressed up, around the Gagern-Gymnasium +++ suits and shoes are no longer a must in the office - the colleagues from the business department two style consultants revealed how dress codes have changed +++ Mainz wants to further expand its tram network with an additional connection in the city center.

I wish you a pleasant evening

Yours, Manfred Koehler
