Good evening,
the search for a new coat of arms eagle could soon begin in Frankfurt, because there is criticism of the current one.
The Frankfurt Greens, on the other hand, have completed their search for a possible mayoral candidate.
You will start the race with Manuela Rottmann on March 5th.
In the Groß-Gerau district, however, resentment is growing.
Some of the rubble produced during the dismantling of the nuclear reactor in Biblis is to be stored at a landfill site in Büttelborn.

Coat of Arms Debates:
"An eagle is not a soup chicken." With this sentence, our author Matthias Trautsch begins his article about the Frankfurt heraldic bird.
It has blossomed several times over the centuries.
It is all the more astonishing that a version from 1936, commissioned by the mayor at the time, Fredrich Krebs, an outright Nazi, has prevailed.
In 1952 the depiction of the eagle was established as the city's coat of arms, and a simplified form appeared on official documents from 1985 onwards.
The city eagle looked very different.
Less frills, reduced in design.
Hans Leistikow designed this eagle.
From 1925 he was head of the then newly established graphics office of the city administration.
It was City Architect Ernst May personally who gave Leistikow this position.
The exhibition "Hans Leistikow, zurück in die Moderne" on view in the Frankfurt Cathedral Museum is reminiscent of the visual influence that the graphic artist had on the city.
The exhibition raises the question of whether the time for an "Adler relaunch" has long since come.
At least that's what Philipp Sturm from the Ernst May Society thinks.
Because the "Gloyr eagle" still used today is burdened by its roots in the Nazi era.
He would like a design competition and "clear, simple forms".
Rottmann confirmed as a candidate:
One could almost think that the eagerly awaited general meeting of the Greens on Saturday was boring.
Instead of criticism and discussions, there was harmony and approval.
During the meeting, the plan was to vote for Manuela Rottmann as mayoral candidate.
And the plan worked.
The grassroots almost united behind the federal politician who lives in Bad Kissingen.
The candidate herself seemed surprised by so much encouragement, as our author Mechthild Harting writes.
Because many of those who voted for the fifty-year-old had never seen her before.
Rottmann will stand for election on March 5 - against "strong candidates", as she says in an interview.
And pushes:
"If I wanted security, I would have stayed where I am."
In the interview, she also makes it clear what goals she is pursuing: Frankfurt is to become climate-neutral by 2035.
“This includes a transformation that not only requires urban and public investment, but above all investment on the part of companies, property owners and the mobilization of solutions through private capital.” She makes it clear: “Politics can set the framework conditions that citizens must do it yourself
Then they help shape it, feel like it and develop their own ambition.
The task is to motivate this do-it-yourself.”
As much garbage as six blue whales weigh:
Some of the rubble produced during the dismantling of the nuclear reactor in Biblis is to be stored at a landfill in the Groß-Gerau district.
This heats up tempers at the Büttelborn site.
Because the responsible regional council has obliged the landfill operator to accept the waste.
Our author Hans Dieter Erlenbach asked what kind of waste it is exactly.
The demolition mass, he found out, is around one million tons.
According to the Hessian Ministry of the Environment, two thirds of the waste never came into contact with radioactivity.
They are considered recyclable and can be easily recycled or disposed of.
The remaining third received unrestricted approval, despite the low load, and may also be recycled.
According to the Ministry of the Environment, only two percent of the waste is considered problematic.
In his text, Erlenbach explains what security measures are being taken, why a simple landfill site can be used as a storage facility for "problematic waste" of this type, and how high the level of radiation must be for the waste to be transported to the Konrad mine in northern Germany.
And in addition
, the left in Frankfurt have now officially named a candidate for the mayor's office.
Daniela Mehler-Würzbach was nominated by the district members' meeting on Saturday as a candidate for the highest office in the city.
86 percent of the members voted for her +++ the Staatstheater Darmstadt is bringing a musical approach to the work of the Darmstadt writer to the stage with "Becoming Luise Büchner" +++ two Wiesbaden pensioners have rebuilt their open-air bowling alley on the record: Now it can you curling there.
Stay healthy,
