: Their influence may have diminished in an increasingly secular and increasingly multi-religious society, but it is still great: around 1.4 million people are members of the Evangelical Church in Hesse and Nassau, the EKHN.

In Friedberg, the South Hessian regional church has now celebrated its 75th anniversary.

Why Friedberg?

There, on September 30, 1947, delegates from the three churches of Hessen-Darmstadt, Nassau and Frankfurt, which had combined under pressure from the regime to form the Evangelical Church of Nassau-Hessen during National Socialism, spoke out in favor of staying together as one church.

They chose the name Evangelical Church in Hesse and Nassau for this;

it also includes parts of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Interesting:

The Rhineland-Palatinate Minister-President Malu Dreyer (SPD) and the Hessian Minister-President Boris Rhein (CDU), who could have been expected to be among the guests at the celebrations, only sent greetings at the event.

Hans Riebsamen, a freelancer for the FAZ, reports on the day and the ceremony, while Carsten Knop comments.

Doing politics:

If you want praise, you don't go into politics: That's what the young politician Natalie Pawlik, federal commissioner for ethnic German immigrants and national minorities, says.

The 29-year-old social democrat has a constituency in Wetterau, and in the most recent federal election she made it into the Bundestag at the second attempt.

Natalia Wenzel-Warkentin observed and wrote down what she tries to wrestle from her area of ​​responsibility and how she shapes it.

Decide on politics:

On November 6, voters in Frankfurt are called upon to decide on the whereabouts of the controversial mayor and SPD politician Peter Feldmann with a simple answer to the question of whether they will vote for his deselection or not.

The hurdle for opting out is high.

The majority for this must be at least 30 percent of those entitled to vote, and more than 150,000 citizens would have to tick “yes” on the ballot paper.

The student council in Frankfurt is also calling for participation in the vote, whatever the outcome.

For many young people, November 6th is the first opportunity to exercise their voting rights.

So how does the youth of Frankfurt feel about Peter Feldmann?

Rainer Schulze asked around.

And
