Good evening,
Manfred Koehler
Head of department of the Rhein-Main editorial team of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

The field of candidates for the mayoral election in Frankfurt
is quickly being completed
: The Greens are sending Manuela Rottmann into the race, who was Head of the Environment and Health Department in Frankfurt from 2006 to 2012 and is now a member of the Bundestag.
The fact that the leading Greens in Frankfurt do not trust any of their own people to do the job has caused some discussions in the party,
and of course one will also have to ask whether Rottmann will remain involved in Frankfurt even if she is not elected or that this is just a flying visit for them.
But Rottmann had gained a good reputation in Frankfurt at the time, and so she is a serious candidate alongside Uwe Becker (CDU) and Mike Josef (SPD).
Some voters will say to themselves anyway:
party or party - it's time for a woman in the mayor's office again
.
In a direct comparison between Peter Feldmann (SPD) and his predecessor Petra Roth (CDU), the latter does significantly better.
In Wiesbaden, too, there will be a direct comparison in the future: at the beginning of the 2024/2025 season, Uwe Eric Laufenberg will be followed by Dorothea Hartmann and Beate Heine as directors of the Staatstheater.
Hartmann is chief dramaturge at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Heine deputy director at the Schauspielhaus Hamburg.
In her commentary, Eva-Maria Magel, who coordinates the cultural reporting of the Rhein-Main-Zeitung, calls the appointment a sign of departure for Wiesbaden.
So far, the State Theater has "attracted attention more through intrigues, scandals, changes in personnel than through outstanding art".
Outstanding art
is always and always in demand.
Deutsche Bahn, for example, is no great feat in having to stop this planning approval process a year after submitting the documents for the building permit for a first section of the planned high-speed route to Mannheim because documents have to be submitted later.
When the first train will run on the route is still in the stars.

I wish you a pleasant evening
Yours, Manfred Koehler
