Rocky landscape and stone witnesses

"We are a motley crew", birgit janson stated. The pastoral assistant, together with forster ludwig winkler from woffendorf, had organized the spring family pilgrimage of the catholic parish of altenkunstadt. The pilgrimage, which united all age groups, was held under the motto "mountainous places, rocky landscape and stone witnesses of faith".

After a short prayer service in the chapel in frankenberg, which was built in 1977, the action began. The route led through the fields from frankenberg to mosenberg. The skylark still has its territory here; the pilgrims watched its soaring flight with fascination. The dry summer has left its mark on the forest, as the tree damage made clear. Ludwig winkler showed the copper engraver's work on 20-year-old spruce trees. "Although it only measures about three millimeters, it can do some serious damage. The forest farmers in our region are having a hard time with it", explained the forster. To prevent further infestation, the affected trees had to be felled and removed from the forest. In the "herosen, this is what this forest area is called, the "herrenholzer" divided by sandstone boundary stones. The representation of a goblet on the "stone witnesses, so winkler suspects, probably indicates that this forest used to belong to the langheim monastery. In the course of the secularization, the monastery possessions were called "herrenholz" ("lord's wood") divided among the local farmers.

Children and young people tested their climbing skills at the "hollow stone, an impressive rock massif formed by weathering. On the flurbereinigungsweg (land consolidation path) we continued to mosenberg. In the restored mary chapel, which is lovingly cared for by the local chapel-building association, ludwig winkler provided information about the history of the bergdorfers in the jura mountains. "Frankenberg, mosenberg and wallersberg together with weihersmuhle formed an independent community until the early 1970s", he paid. The roads were not extended until after the town of weismain had been incorporated into the community. The ornate church of the people of mosenberg in the center of the village replaced the original small chapel on the outskirts of the village. Services are celebrated here at least twice a month. Winkler led the pilgrims to the "rauhenstein", where they had a magnificent view of the kotteler grund. They marveled at the juniper hills and saw the village of arnstein on the other side of the mountain with its imposing parish church st. Nicholas. The destination of the excursion was the village of wallersberg with its pilgrimage church dedicated to saint catherine. The origin of the sacral building dates back to the 14 century. Century back. The pilgrimage is based on a spring whose water is said to have special powers. "With the drying up of the spring, however, the pilgrimage system also dried up", reported birgit janson.

Weismain city priest gerhard mockel celebrated a pilgrimage service with the old art elders, which was also attended by many believers from the surrounding mountain villages. In his sermon, the clergyman dealt with the work of the holy spirit and the importance of a "good spirit" for a community and the family.

Robber ties up savings bank employee

Yesterday afternoon, a 49-year-old employee of a savings bank sat tied to a chair in the lobby of the schney branch for almost three hours. An attentive passer-by noticed after 3 p.M. That the branch was still closed, even though the lunch break was over. She looked through a window into the building and saw the tied up employee. The 49-year-old was treated on the spot by the ambulance service. She had suffered a shock but was uninjured.

Nylon stocking over his head

According to police spokesman alexander czech, the bank robbery and hostage-taking took place as follows: the 49-year-old employee, who was alone in the branch, wanted to leave between 12.15 and 12.30 o'clock the door that leads from the vestibule to the actual branch. At that moment she was attacked by a slim man of about 1.80 meters, who had pulled a nylon stocking over his head. The unarmed robber forced the 49-year-old into a counseling room to the right of the anteroom. There he tied her up by force with adhesive tape, fixed her to a chair and also closed her mouth with adhesive tape.
Thereupon the man entered the counter room and helped himself at the cash desk. Then the perpetrator fled unrecognized. On tuesday, the police could not yet give any information about the amount of the loot.
The 49-year-old employee was freed by police officers at around 4 p.M. The reason it took so long was that the officers had to proceed very carefully. At that time, it was not yet clear whether the perpetrator was still in the building and had taken the employee as a hostage.
Although the lichtenfels district of schney was widely cordoned off on tuesday afternoon, the manhunt brought no success. A police helicopter was overhead, rattling, because the police had to take into account that the bank robber was hiding nearby. Press spokesman czech commented: "the manhunt is continuing. Also in the vicinity. We don't know what means of escape the perpetrator used."
The savings bank employee testified that the bank robber was wearing a baseball cap, gloves, knee-length jeans, a dark hooded jacket and sneakers.
The area around the sparkasse branch in friedrich-ebert-strabe was cordoned off by the police until 5 p.M. Only parents who wanted to pick up their children from school were allowed to pass by. Residents who were outside the perimeter and who wanted to get to their homes had to wait in front of the perimeter. Inside the police cordon, people were standing in groups in front of their houses and investigating the situation. "We only became aware of it when it became so quiet outside because there were no more cars driving", a woman described her impressions.

Dorfer are small and manageable. A value in itself in times of megabyte-controlled information floods. No sooner does a street village begin than it ends again. Does the cow raise its head for a moment because of the passing car or does it continue to graze?? Given. Time is not a factor, then just later.
Villages are not only idyllic, but also a remote place of residence for overtired commuters, at some times of the year dreary and lonely, sometimes even on the verge of extinction. All this is what the makers of the film "in the world of the strabendorfers" mean times not. The strip will be broadcast on bavarian television tomorrow sunday, 27. August, from 15.15 to 16 o'clock. The film is 45 minutes long and is about love, love for the village, love for life hopefully also. Well, for sure.
Discontinued model country? 20 years ago, almost 19 percent of germans lived there; today, the figure is 15 percent, or rather a tick lower. Eisenfelden, bergen, karlshuld, steinbach an der haide – four beautiful strabendorfer, one film. There is life in all four – sometimes, it is said, families move in. Or stay there again at least.
Like in steinbach an der haide, city of ludwigsstadt, upper franconia. Far out on the map of bavaria, with the border to the GDR just behind it. Steinbach an der haide is at the same time very far inside. In the heart of its inhabitants, flowers and flowers on the village green in the center. Ewald heyder is a long-time resident, and birgit trobs is even the elected local farmer. Idyll in the hugeligen frankenwald. "In the world of the "strabendorfer is a film by annett segerer and alexander saran, edited by Michael Zehetmair.

A long workbench, wooden parts, screw clamps, a few chisels and small planes. 300 years ago it must have looked similar in cremona as it does today in the workshop of gunter lobe in bubenreuth (district of erlangen-hochstadt). "Nothing has changed in the way of working. We work like centuries ago. With the same tools", says lobe.

Machines, industrialization, conveyor belts – none of this plays a role in the world of luthiers. Why also? The best instruments have always been made by hand, especially in cremona, the home of the italian master antonio stradivari. His violins are traded for many millions of euros.

Gunter lobe's sound bodies are available from 6000 euros, price open upwards. On average, an instrument made by the master violin maker from bubenreuth costs between 10.000 and 15.000 euros. For those interested there is a waiting list. Lobe puts about 150 hours of work into such a violin. It takes a quarter of a year to complete the glue and varnish work. Ten instruments a year – that is its production volume. Mainly violins, now and then a viola or even a cello. "I don't have to calculate like a bricklayer or a painter", says lobe. "In this price category, it is uninteresting how long you need to work. Only the result pays."

Two violins for the sultan
Lobes customers are often thrilled with the result. Especially the japanese. "There are people who would like to buy my entire annual production, he tells. There are traders who, according to lobe, then in their home country for the instruments demand three times the amount. Since a few years the chinese have also become aware of him. On a map of the world in his workshop are flags showing past business relationships. In asia and america they pile up. 70 percent of the instruments now go to asia. Lobe has also delivered two of his masterpieces to the sultan of oman.

In the professional world, the 4500-inhabitant community of bubenreuth near erlangen is considered the center of stringed and plucked instrument making in germany. Only the upper bavarian mittenwald has a similar sounding name. It was refugees from the egerland who started this tradition after the second world war in the 1950s. More than 2000 musical instrument makers, including specialists such as peg-turners, bow makers and bridge carvers, have settled with their families in bubenreuth.

A rough order that has long been a thing of the past. The number of violin makers has decreased. Clearly. Gunter lobe is the head of the erlangen guild, the largest in germany. 55 businesses still number in his guild, including guitar makers or bow makers. There are no precise statistics on how many violin makers there still are in germany. Around 240 companies are voluntarily organized in the association of german violin and bow makers (VDG), reports thomas uphoff from mannheim, member of the board of the VDG.
"It has become clear that only quality can last", says lobe. The 51-year-old speaks of "honest violin making". Whether all colleagues can make a living from it? Lobe weighs in. "Already difficult", he says. "You have to have a name."

Successful in competitions
He himself has achieved this. With a mixture of skill and a quantum of luck, lobe won a silver medal at an international competition in mittenwald in 1989, just two years after his master's degree. Also at the "world championship of violin makers in the italian cremona, two instruments submitted by him have already made it to the top ranks. "If someone is new, they don't get noticed if they don't stand out in some way", lobes' experience.

It's small subtleties, nuances, that ultimately lead to a top-notch instrument. The exchange of ideas with musicians is important. "I have to respond to wishes, concerns and notes in a targeted way", says lobe. In the meantime, the demand for copies of important violins is rough. And so the master craftsman from bubenreuth also reproduces the instruments of the italian models. Stradivari or guarneri – under 15.Even a copy of the old masters cannot be bought for 000 euro.

New is not necessarily a qualitative criterion. "A violin gets better with age, provided it is played", says Lobe.

Wreck of the 'smsscharnhorst' discovered off the falkland islands

The wreck of the german warship has been located off the falkland islands, the falklands maritime heritage trust announced on thursday. The flagship of the east asia squadron of the imperial navy was found 98 nautical miles southeast of stanley at a depth of 1610 meters by underwater robots.

"The moment of discovery was extraordinary. We often chase shadows on the seabed, but when the "scharnhorst" when the first ship appeared, there was no doubt that it was one of the german ships," said expedition leader mensun bound. "We sent down an underwater robot to reconnoiter and almost immediately we were in a war trummer field. Plotzlich she emerged from the darkness, with crude cannons pointing in all directions."

The "SMS scharnhorst" was on 8. December 1914 at the beginning of the 1. World war ii sunk by the british navy. In total, about 2200 soldiers were killed in the fighting, during which other german warships were destroyed. The commander of the squadron, admiral maximilian graf von spee, and his two sons were also killed in the battle.

"As one of the many families affected by the heavy losses on 8. December 1914 in the battle off the falkland islands, is the discovery of the "SMS scharnhorst" for us bittersub", said the descendant of the admiral, wilhelm graf von spee. "We console ourselves with the knowledge that the final resting place of so many has been found and can now be preserved, while at the same time we are reminded of the unspeakable loss of human life."

Judge at the coburg regional court had to speak up

At some point, judge jana huber had enough: "geht’s noch. That’s not adult or cool, that’s stupid kindergarten stuff", the presiding judge at the coburg regional court replied to a witness.

Previously, the latter had not only tried to provide the defendant with an alibi and had become increasingly entangled in implausible declarations during the statements.

Slot machines and light systems

After all, the accusations are no small matter. The 31-year-old defendant is accused of breaking into various bars and discotheques in neustadt, kronach and the surrounding area from the beginning of 2018 to the beginning of 2019 together with a friend at the time. Slot machines were broken into, light and sound equipment as well as trusses for the stage were stolen.

The man from coburg, who has himself run a discotheque and a burger store for a time, is said not to have joined the company himself, but to have kept a constant watch.

After the two alleged perpetrators got into a fight in a restaurant in neustadt, the accused allegedly pushed his accomplice to the ground, choked him on the neck and kicked him.

Waived their own share

Together they are said to have taken loot worth around 16,000 euros. Most of the cash was shared between the two, as the alleged co-defendant in another trial testified. He got no benefit from the advice.Time and again, the witness told the court, he got involved in helping his old school friend. His money problems are said to have been the deciding factor. In some cases he had waived his share of the money. "He was my friend, that was the only reason for me", the trained machinist said.

Then it came to the quarrel and fisticuffs. The accused, who already had a criminal record, went straight to the police and not only confessed to the crime, but also reported the bodily injury to his former friend.

"The accused will defend himself in silence", his attorney andreas kittel announced at the outset. That is, also to the question of whether and to what extent he was involved in the deeds, he said nothing.

Kittel tried to work out the credibility of the witness and his possible motives with a sharp questioning.

So he exposed the alcohol consumption, aggressive behavior and two suicide attempts, which should just put the fisticuffs in a new light. In the course of the trial, others wanted to exonerate the defendant. At times he lived together with his then accomplice. Friends of the defendant who were called as witnesses also lived in the same house.

Their testimonies, however, were the ones that judge and prosecutor carolin eckert brought up. One of the witnesses gave the accused – admittedly – a quick and exact alibi, and was even able to prove it with a calendar entry on his cell phone. However, this was the only entry he had made in it.

It took him a long time to admit that he had arranged his statements about the dates in advance. The following witness also had to be led with difficulty by the judge to give a truthful statement. In the meantime, it got loud in the courtroom. Even the accused had to be reminded of the house by the chairwoman. Kittel only referred to his pladoyer.

So it is up to the court to unravel the intricacies of former and continuing friendships. The hearing will be continued this wednesday.

According to the media, this is what a police officer said on thursday (local time). The skagit valley herald local newspaper in mount vernon, online reported that there was initially no word on injuries or deaths.
Eyewitnesses reported that three people had been pulled from the river. There was applause for the rescuers from onlookers when a man was brought from the roof of his car to dry land. A motorist who drove over the bridge just before the collapse reported a vibration in the road. When he looked in the rearview mirror, the part of the bridge he had just driven over was no longer there.

The newspaper reported rescuers with boats were trying to help people in their cars in the water. The northern section of the bridge between burlington and mount vernon collapsed in the evening for as yet unknown reasons. Onlookers had gathered on both sides of the river.

Siemens cuts hundreds of jobs in the usa

Siemens cuts hundreds of jobs in U.S. As wind power orders fail to materialize. The company announced that approximately 615 employees will lose their jobs. The reason for this is the impending expiry of tax breaks for wind power in the USA and the trend towards gas-fired power plants due to the favorable gas prices. Just recently, the electrical giant announced plans to cut about 500 jobs in its german gearbox manufacturing operations due to the weak wind power business.

"The entire industry is currently experiencing a massive slump in orders", siemens announced in the u.S. On tuesday. "Unfortunately, this will not be without consequences for the jobs." The affected employees are to receive severance pay. A spokesman said the job cuts are expected to go through until the end of the year.

400 jobs in iowa

More than 400 jobs to be lost at rotor blade manufacturing plant in fort madison, iowa, alone. Siemens had only laid the foundation stone for the factory in 2006; in 2010, U.S. President barack obama had visited the modern site. Other jobs will be cut in hutchinson, kansas, where wind turbine nacelles are assembled, as well as in administration and support services.

Siemens to unveil savings program this fall in response to global economic slowdown. Orders had recently slumped and the profit disappeared. Of all things, the two most important business fields, energy and industry, are doing worse. According to media reports, the group is also considering the elimination of thousands of jobs worldwide. According to the "borsen" newspaper more than 10,000 jobs could be affected.

In the u.S. Alone, the company had spent $100 million over the past five years on its wind power manufacturing operations. With about 60,000 employees, siemens is one of the largest foreign employers in the country. According to a company spokeswoman in the USA, the job cuts will not result in any "significant" losses burdens on the company.

The authority had argued that the suffering of the monkeys in the experiments was ethically unjustifiable. Previously, the bremische burgerschaft had spoken out in favor of an end to the trials. The OVG, on the other hand, regards the monkey experiments as justifiable. The court does not like an appeal.

Since 1998, scientists around prof. Andreas kreiter neurological research on macaques. In the attempts the heads of the animals are fixed. You have to actively participate in the experiments to get water. Brain activity is measured. Researchers hope that basic research will lead to advances in the treatment of diseases such as epilepsy.

Tuesday’s hearing was essentially about the question of how much the animals suffer as a result of the tests. Both sides presented expert opinions with differing assessments. The court based its decision on the assumption that the impact on the animals was moderate.

The university of bremen saw the decision as a confirmation of its position. "I am not surprised by the ruling of the supreme administrative court," shared prof. Reinhard fischer, who is responsible for the macaque tests. "On the one hand, the research work of prof. The project has received the highest international recognition, which was confirmed today by all parties involved in the process. On the other hand, andreas kreiter has of course ensured since the beginning of the experiments 15 years ago that all the provisions of the animal protection law are strictly observed."

The honorary president of the german animal protection association and chairman of the bremer tierschutzverein, wolfgang apel, regretted the court’s decision. From its point of view, the university’s arguments had been one-sidedly upheld. "It is also completely incomprehensible that the court, despite the fundamental importance, has not allowed an appeal. We will continue to do everything politically and legally to end these torturous animal experiments."

Sunlight penetrates through the loosened canopy to the forest floor, young trees can grow back and naturally rejuvenate the stand: this is what a well-maintained, ecologically and economically valuable forest looks like to forestry experts. However, this ideal image does not yet prevail everywhere in the city’s forest, as a tour of the forest showed the city councils.

Right opposite the showcase area at obererthal is the counterexample: a stand of pines, larches and beech trees that is about 100 years old. "Although the stock is relatively old, the trees are still so dunn", said matthias wallrapp of the foundation juliusspital wurzburg. Since september 2015, the foundation has been supporting the town, especially in forestry planning.
The maintenance of the stand was not possible in the past, because it was not accessible by a road. That has now changed for several years. Therefore, on almost eleven hectares, about 750 solid meters of wood have now been cut – mainly to support other species. "The books otherwise displaced other trees", explained the city forestry manager hubertus tumpach.

Local spokesman hans schonau reminded the audience that such a felling can always cause resentment among local residents at first. During another maintenance strike a few years ago in obererthal, the shouting had been rough. But later, the harshest critics felt that it was already how the forest had developed afterwards.

Current potential for conflict emerged during the forest walk on feuerthal’s long mountain. There, too, there is a stand that is about 50 to 120 years old and has not been thinned for decades. Therefore, the city’s forestry operation plans for august on a flat of 30 hectares a cut of about 1200 solid cubic meters. For this purpose, a self-procuring company with a harvester will be used.

The cutting is intended primarily to remove dark, inferior pines in order to stabilize and challenge the growth of their more vital tree species comrades. "The trees have been very dense for a long time and without care", said wallrapp. He described the felling as a denouement. In 2014 and 2015, tracks were created for the trees to make them more accessible.

At that time, a forest path, a popular walkway for the feuerthaler, was affected in the process. This had caused displeasure in the district and with local spokesman jurgen armbruster. At the forest walk, armbruster still expressed his annoyance: "something like last time must not happen again."

Wallrapp promised that the logging would "run smart" become. As tumpach explained, the path has also been repaired again. According to the forestry manager, the fact that it didn’t happen right away was due to the weather: "the weather has to be right for road construction."

What a felling can do, the forestry experts showed at the black pine stand fubloch. There tumpach had started several years ago with the removal of the trees – under rough shouting from all sides, as he said. In the meantime, forestry experts have taken a look at the stand as an example.
