Service beyond the usual mab

service beyond the usual mab

There was plenty of reason to say thank you at the service in the euerfeld parish church st. Michael. The evening was not only a celebration of thanksgiving, but also a time to thank the long-serving sacristan eugen seltsam for more than 40 years of faithful service, as well as the three retiring altar boys and other deserving members of the church administration and parish community.

Parish priest anton rossner emphasized that eugen seltsam had rendered outstanding services to the parish "far beyond the call of duty". As early as the summer of 1958, he took over the office of sacristan under the then pastor eberhard pfirmann, a position he held until 1986. Ten years later, he was called back to the vestry by pastor erich seitz. 2012 he gave up his office due to illness.

Spring awakening at the marketplace

Spring awakening at the marketplace

Like every year, the ina seniors from herzogenaurach decorated the easter fountain this year as well. "This year marks the 15th anniversary of our decoration campaign. Mal", explains werner david of the ina senior citizens.
In 1999, the fountain was decorated for the first time, on the initiative of city and ina seniors. David looks back to the beginning: "back then, the city seniors took a bus trip to french-speaking switzerland, where there are many beautifully decorated easter fountains. Naturally, there was a desire to have something like this in herzogenaurach, too." So david took the project in hand and talked to trainers at the ina apprentice workshop, whereupon apprentices made a base frame for the easter fountain.
"We got down on our knees and made it simple", david continues. He meets with five to six people every year to decorate the fountain and makes sure that every egg is in the right place. "Unfortunately, we can’t use real, blown-out eggs because they break too easily. From the beginning we used plastic eggs", explains the easter fountain specialist.
After almost exactly one hour, every egg is in the right place. Whether orange, blue, red or yellow – when you look at them, you find a rainbow of colors. Some eggs have been lovingly hand-painted with small flowers with great care. "Our painter heinrich loos is busy every year throughout the winter and paints all the eggs alone", emphasizes david. A special feature of this year’s fountain are the coarse eggs, of which about 40 can be found all over the fountain.
For every inn or cafe there has been a separate egg for the last two years. "Decorating the easter fountain is always for us, because it is a community action . When you see how much joy people have at the decorated fountain, it’s great", david is pleased.
Just in time for the opening of the easter market by first mayor german hacker (SPD) the fountain was already finished and all present were surprised by the bright sunshine. "I am glad that we do not have to stand here in the snow today", says hacker. He refers to an eventful weekend with numerous exhibitors and activities at the easter market and also mentions the city fair "bauen-wohnen-renovieren" ("build-live-renovate") in this context and the fairtrade certification for herzogenaurach, which will take place this weekend.
Afterwards, classes 1b and 4c of the herzogenaurach elementary school set the mood for the easter season with music and sang a few songs together. Fabian bartel from class 1b even recited a spring poem. It will be a nice weekend.

Plastic-free shopping is becoming a challenge: an experience report

admin

Plastic lurks almost everywhere. The shelves in discounters and supermarkets are full of them. One plastic packaging after the next. Among other things, fruit and vegetables are on my shopping list. It can't be that difficult to buy peppers, tomatoes and a cucumber without plastic gauze, can it?? But in the museums section of the supermarket there is first of all disillusionment. The wrapped cucumber, symbolic for me of unnecessary plastic wrapping, lies right next to the unwrapped cucumber.

Clear where my hand goes. But it should not go on so simply. Peppers, like many other fruits and vegetables, can be bought in bulk. Also tomatoes. However, I have no choice here. Cherry tomatoes, roma tomatoes, vine tomatoes – all wrapped in plastic. Only one of six varieties comes without plastic gauze.

A club on the road to change

The "future workshop SV-DJK sommerach" project is now also reflected in the board of the main club with its six departments. Although the club is embarking on a major reorganization with an unchanged board, the treasurer became finance manager at the annual general meeting in the SV-DJK’s sports center.

Steffen told the meeting that he had been thinking about the future of the club for a good year. The idea really sparked in him after the district meeting of the DJK steigerwald and the presentation about an association that had reorganized itself within two years after a future workshop. "The future is what the young people want and what they do," said steffen, "and if you listen to the kids, you come up with some great ideas.". The chairman reported on the almost five-hour workshop with the children and young people in the clubhouse and what their wishes and ideas are, but also their points of criticism (we reported). Some things could not be implemented, "but we want to do as much as is possible," says steffen. They also have a lot of ideas in the area of the sports center, "we have to think about a space for them". This applies both literally and figuratively: "if the children and young people have a place with us, they will also come to us. They are our future."

Vaccination commission now in favor of corona vaccination for all children 12 and older

A few weeks before the end of the school vacations in many federal states, the permanent vaccination commission (stiko) is in favor of general corona vaccinations for all children over 12 years of age.

After careful evaluation of new data, it is now concluded "that, based on current knowledge, the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risk of very rare vaccine side effects," the independent body said on monday. Federal and state governments hailed the vote as an important guide for young people and parents, and held out the prospect of rapid vaccination services. But there was also criticism of the stiko and of political pressure on the body.

Declaration of war: csu wants to conquer the chair at coburg city hall

admin

For parties, after the election campaign is always a little before the election campaign. For example, rene boldt as CSU district chairman of coburg city used the late-scheduled new year's reception of the coburg christian socialists with bavaria's new digital minister judith gerlach as a podium for pithy announcements on the 2020 municipal elections in coburg.

Pithy words

With a view to the success of the CSU candidate in the runoff election for the new district council in coburg, boldt gloated: "sebastian straubel has shown that you can also win in red strongholds." Verbally, boldt then immediately rallied for the coburg municipal elections in spring 2020 and postulated with pithy words: "we will for the first time conquer the chief seat in the city hall."

Tado karlovic leaves the hammelburg volleys

He had already hinted at it before the season, now it’s official: after nine years at the saale, it’s over! Tado karlovic, who with hammelburg’s men’s team achieved an unprecedented march from the district league to the 2. Karlovic, who made it to the bundesliga, wants to give up competitive volleyball for a few years and spend more time with his family in the future. "At some point it is time for a new focus. After nine unbelievably great years in hammelburg, I want to spend more time with my family in the future, says the father of three children, for whom saying goodbye at the end of the season is by no means easy: "my feelings are ambivalent. To the joy about the newly won freedom naturally also mingles sadness, because the boys were already something like a second family." The 44-year-old croatian led the 1. Men’s team promoted to 2nd division. The first bundesliga not only became the biggest success in the club’s history, it also brought a volleyball euphoria that now brings the hammelburg volleys 600 enthusiastic spectators to every home game. Karlovic has a son and two daughters: "they all play volleyball in waldbuttelbrunn, where I have also been a coach for years. I want my children to benefit from their father, so I’m going to concentrate on my training activities there." Karlovic is now looking forward to the second half of the season and has set himself one goal above all: "until the end of april, i will enjoy every training session and every game, regardless of the final outcome. "

Whether there will ever be a return to the old place of action? Karlovic does not rule that out: "of course, i will always remain connected to hammelburg. And if at some point my expertise is needed again, i will of course think about it, but for now i will do other things. And what it’s like to live without bundesliga volleyball, I’ll be able to practice in the summer." The leadership of the TV/DJK hammelburg is not yet able to name a successor. "We thank tado for nine great and successful years. In coordination with the main club and the team council, we will present a new coach as soon as possible before the end of the season, who will continue the successful path with us", betrayal head of department matthias benner.
