Today in Rhein-Main: Van Gogh digital

At first you have to hold yourself very tight when you read this:

Someone who built a tree house in the Fechenheim forest because he wanted to prevent the felling of the tree used for this and other trees for the construction of the motorway sued against the clearing of the forest because he then no longer had free access to the tree house at the beginning - and the administrative court promptly asks the police to refrain from eviction until a decision on this application has been made.

In the second moment you think: Ok.

Everything right.

This is exactly how you have to deal with demonstrators so that they can see that the rule of law is working.

But if this constitutional state then finally, finally and irrevocably decides that it will be cleared and felled and that a motorway tunnel will be built, then the demonstrators, including the one in his tree house, should vice versa also leave peacefully and full of trust in said constitutional state.

Many thousands of primary school teachers had a moment of happiness on Thursday.

Because the state government has announced that they will earn around 500 euros more a month in the future.

Not only does the rule of law work (see above), but also the market: workers are in short supply, so you have to treat them well.

North Rhine-Westphalia, for example, has shown the way.

A snapshot of one's own kind can be experienced by those who drag themselves to Frankfurt-Heddernheim until the beginning of May, where the show "Van Gogh Alive" can be seen in the "Space Factory",

which shows the painter's pictures in a multimedia show.

Those who value their understanding of art will naturally shudder at the thought that the venerable artist's oeuvre is being presented digitally in this way.

But the show is on the move and has already attracted an audience of millions.

Art is different.

And after the visit you can make a firm resolution to go to a museum again soon to look at the originals.

And

the Wiesbadener Volksbank was the first bank in the region to present figures for 2022,

the business result is again sufficient for a three percent dividend +++ the carnival parade in Hanau falls on the third anniversary of the attack on February 19, 2020, which killed nine people with a migration background, which caused discussions +++ it was the first time we met of Frankfurt's mayoral candidates are not really controversial.

The tip for the weekend

The "Goldmund" in Frankfurt's Literaturhaus has been captivating for years with its French-inspired continuity.

The ambience of the restaurant is as elegant and sophisticated as the modern country kitchen by head chef Daniel Schönberger: The spacious dining room with its high ceilings, deep windows and long bar has something invitingly generous, but is not deterred by cool sophistication.

Rather, it is a place with enough space for quiet, intimate conversations, but also enough proximity for social evenings.

"Goldmund", Schöne Aussicht 2, Frankfurt, Telephone 0 69/21 08 59 85, Internet www.gold-mund.de.
