He wants to supplement rational election campaign arguments with emotionality, CSU leader horst seehofer said tuesday at the CSU winter meeting in wildbad kreuth. The union must not be a variant of the SPD and the greens, but an alternative. Talks with the CDU about the election campaign strategy have yet to be held. "It would be bad to announce the results of negotiations before they are held," said the CSU leader.

2009, the strategy of ronald pofalla, then CDU secretary general and now head of the chancellor’s office, was based on "asymmetric demobilization" – the SPD voters were to be made less fearful of a black-yellow coalition and thus less motivated to vote. The CSU already had doubts about the "schlaagen election campaign" at that time and subsequently felt confirmed by the unexpectedly poor results of the union – CDU/CSU had only achieved 33.8 percent at that time.

In the meantime, seehofer has abandoned his plans for his own CSU election platform. He does not want a joint election program with the CDU to fail because of the demand for a toll on cars, which was rejected by chancellor angela merkel (CDU). If necessary, however, the CSU will formulate its own points in parallel, seehofer said. "There are points where you can’t come to an understanding despite all the friendship," said the bavarian minister-president. Then it was not unusual in the past that the CSU decided on some own points on an extra sheet of paper. "This is how we will do it."

There is still no definitive solution for the election dates of the bundestag and the bavarian state parliament. In the speech are the 22. September for the federal election and the 15. September for the state elections, because these are the only two dates that fall outside the vacation period. In the CSU, however, there are concerns about having federal and state elections on two consecutive weekends. "We don’t have a solution yet," seehofer says. German president joachim gauck will set the date for the federal elections before the government in munich decides on the date for the bavarian elections.

The irritation that seehofer caused in the CSU before christmas with attacks on his own party friends ("gluhwurmchen" etc.) did not play a role in kreuth, according to seehofer and the head of the state group gerda hasselfeldt. "The fact that the irritation of a few weeks ago played no role at all in this long discussion makes it clear that this is no longer a topic for which one has to waste time," said hasselfeldt.

For nine years, the chairman of the SPD parliamentary group in the bavarian state parliament, markus rinderspacher, has been involved in the "red cyclists" summer campaign on the road in the free state. The penultimate stop on the tour and the last stop in bavaria was a stop at the outdoor pool in autenhausen. A "showcase project with a crunch", as carsten hollein, SPD district chairman and city councilor in seblach, remarked. For as much as the participants of the cycling group had enjoyed refreshing themselves: due to various problems (first because of the swimming pool master’s illness, and most recently because of the quality of the water), the idyllic pool – as reported several times – has to remain closed this season. Even though "chief technician dominik fick of the forderverein the classification of the measured values as "carcinogenic criticized as excessive, because the strict limits otherwise applied to indoor baths, in which vapors – unlike in open-air facilities – could not be drawn off. "So we’re ready to go, just in case someone says we can", although martina kilian explained with a view to the facility, which is kept in top condition by the forderverein, the second chairwoman’s gaze has long been directed forward, to the transformation of the facility into a natural swimming pool. With the technology from the 1970s, better values will no longer be achieved, she admitted.

Kilian outlined the planned conversion work and explained why the "autilus" project is so important suddenly on the verge of collapse again. And this despite the fact that the seblach city council has already approved funds and planned measures have fallen victim to the red pencil. Only one bidder responded to the europe-wide general invitation to tender, and his offer was 92,000 euros higher than the calculated costs. On 13. In september, representatives of the forderverein now want to discuss with the city of seblach and the planners how things can be continued. In order to reduce the deficit, trades are to be put out to tender individually and more work than currently calculated is to be carried out by the club members themselves. The renovation of the swimming pool, which is being funded by the city and the eler, and the modernization of the kiosk and sanitary facilities, which is being supported by leader funds, cannot be separated, emphasized kilian. District administrator michael busch (SPD) offered the help of the district administration in the tendering process, while bad rodach’s mayor tobias ehrlicher (SPD) advised that the work might be postponed until spring in the hope of obtaining better prices. "We are all in the starting holes and will not give up despite all the obstacles", kilian made clear. Before the pool actually has to be closed, the association prefers to wait another year, she added. After all, the open-air swimming pool is the meeting place par excellence for the locals. "The longer it takes, the more frustrated the volunteers become", gave hollein cause for concern.

According to rinderspacher, he has visited almost 30 baths in the last few years. He called for a revision of the requirements criteria by the relevant government agencies. Unfortunately, the current only love the demand of indoor pools to.

And yet, of a total of 850 swimming pools in bavaria, almost 450 are in need of renovation. In view of the 82 bathing deaths in bavaria in 2017 alone and the DLRG’s statement that one in two children in germany cannot swim, there is an urgent need for action. "The local free bathers are important", the member of the state parliament emphasized "especially for families who can’t go on vacation"."

"This is a region with an incredible amount of potential", was the conclusion of the guest from munich after his tour through the coburg region. "A beautiful landscape and economically interesting the area between kaltenbrunn and autenhausen was also, found rinderspacher.

The bike tour also gave him "incredibly fascinating encounters" gave him. In addition, the realization that "even in small villages, the local infrastructure is very important".

When claudia john stands in her living room and stretches out her arms, she can grasp bamberger history with her hands. The renovated but still worm-eaten wooden beams date back to the original time of the small house not far from the muhlworth. A 3.20 meter wide and four story high piece of bamberger architectural history. Since 1460, all owners have been known to be luckless. A tower master was among them, a shoemaker, and since the summer before last, the freshly renovated house has belonged to the couple randy and claudia john. The latter is a sideline OB candidate.

Claudia john, 30 years old, grew up in bamberg and pettstadt, knows the inner workings of maxplatz town hall only from hearsay so far. Nevertheless, her name will have to be remembered. That’s not so much because she’s running for mayor. John is also a list leader of the free voters, and as such she reckons she has a good chance of becoming a member of the bamberg city council.

Who is this young lady who has the confidence to lead a department with about 1000 employees and to lead a city with almost 80,000 people into the future?? What drives her, what kind of life does she lead when she is not hanging up posters, handing out flyers and, as is often the case these days, explaining the goals of her own party at information booths? ?

"I don’t have a celebrity factor, I’m just a normal woman from the middle of the population. That’s why I can realistically assess most people’s worries and needs, says john about john. A woman who, like many, lives in bamberg and works out of town. Every day she leaves home at ten past six to be at her school in herzogenaurach at seven o’clock on the dot. A responsible job that is not so far removed from politics, she thinks: she teaches a first and a second class, has a lot of contact with parents and is used to "speaking in front of people" and shaping life.

She was really taken by this desire to participate five years ago, when the extreme right around the afd became a political factor. At that time, she thought it was time to do something herself, to exert an influence instead of just nagging. John wants to help shape bamberg, her hometown and center of life: "i have no personal benefit from it. It is a matter of my heart."

But love of one’s homeland does not mean blind local patriotism. Without mincing her words, the 30-year-old denounces the lack of affordable housing that prompted her parents to build in pettstadt 30 years ago. John feels at home with the free voters not only because the "original frenchwoman" is a "good person", but also because she is a "good person" has found a home here for her sense of tradition. It also stands for a pragmatic approach to problems such as traffic. The idea of banning cars from the city center is unrealistic, says the woman who has to conquer her residents’ parking space anew every day when she drives her "mini" coming home.

"An insane number of hurdles

She has been a teacher for six years now. It certainly does not lack the courage to take action. Claudia john will probably not be seen to throw in the towel either. This can be seen in her daring to renovate a run-down house in the old town and equip it with all the comforts of modernity: "there were a lot of hurdles to overcome, she says today, referring not only to the craftsmanship of her work. The approval process with the city was also lengthy: "who knows if we bought the house when we knew what was coming?." But the effort was worth it. Half a year after moving in, everything seems to be working, including smarthome

The british government has been put in a spot of bother by an analysis of the impact of the brexit on the economy that has been released to the public. According to the government’s analysis, britain has nothing to gain economically from leaving the EU.

This was reported by the news site buzzfeed on monday evening, citing a draft of the document. Accordingly, almost all sectors of the economy in the united kingdom have suffered, regardless of how the negotiations with the european union go. Remaining in the european single market was only going to limit the damage. Officially, the government in london insists that the brexit will open up considerable opportunities for the country.

The fact that brexit minister david davis denied at a hearing before the parliament’s brexit committee at the end of last year that such an analysis existed at all also caused trouble. "This is a complete shambles," labor MP and brexit committee chair hilary benn said on tuesday, questioning davis’ abilities as brexit chief negotiator. Scotland’s leader nicola sturgeon called the unveiling a "turning point in the brexit negotiations".

Opposition politicians demanded that the analysis be made public. This was rejected by the government. It is only a draft and furthermore none of the scenarios played out are desired by the government, said brexit secretary of state steve baker at an emergency session of parliament on tuesday. In addition, a publication undermined london’s negotiating position in brussel. One wants to reach there a "mabgeschneiderten deal".

The unveiling was allowed to further intensify the tensions within the government in london. May is under enormous pressure from both brexit hardliners and pro-EU forces in her party. For days, british media have been speculating about her imminent fall at the hands of brexit supporters.

May also faces headwinds in the predominantly pro-european upper house, where the eu withdrawal bill entered its second reading on tuesday. Based on the law, the government wants to end the application of EU law in the UK after brexit. At the same time, thousands of EU regulations from all areas of life are to be transferred into national law so that no chaos arises when great britain leaves the EU in march 2019. The issues at stake include workers’ rights and environmental protection.

The main points of contention are clauses that allow far-reaching changes to the law without the full participation of parliament. The government argues it needs a free hand to quickly adapt the rough set of EU rules to the new circumstances. The relevant committee of the house of lords, on the other hand, does not consider the current draft law to be in conformity with the constitution.

The limmersdorfer lindenkirchweih, which will be celebrated again in a few days and attract thousands of visitors, represents a centuries-old and originally widespread tradition that is now only practiced in its original form in a few towns in upper franconia and thuringia.

Ancient dance lime tree

In the center of the lindenkirchweih stands the ancient dance lime tree, in whose treetop a dance platform is installed. Festively dressed kerwaburschen and -madla dance to dance band music turners and waltzes. In limmersdorf the festival has been held since 1729 in the days around bartholoma (24. August) celebrated. It is the undisputed social high point of village life and represents a tradition that is of great importance to the village.

In 2015, the limmersdorfer lindenkirchweih was included in the nationwide and in 2016 in the bavarian list of intangible cultural heritage as an outstanding example of living cultural, identity-forming expression. Last year, the limmersdorfer lindenkirchweih also received the bavarian homeland award.

The market town of thurnau, together with the architekturburo drenske, kulmbach, and the companies involved, has succeeded in renovating the former community center through the office for rural development with funds from the forderoffensive nordostbayern in a kind of "precision landing to renovate fundamentally. Mayor martin bernreuther (CSU): "we started the work in spring this year and there are only minor finishing works to be done, but basically the building will be ready and usable for the lindenkirchweih in a few days"."

The former community center below the dance lime tree, which is owned by the market community, will later be used – as before – by the local associations. The financing of the total costs of around 550000 euros through the north-east bavaria demand initiative was a stroke of luck for the market town of thurnau: "but we also had a good planner in the architekturburo drenske and a local construction manager in berthold popp from thurnau, who had everything under control." As mayor martin bernreuther (CSU) explained, it was important for the market thurnau to create a structure in the community center. This also includes a handicapped-accessible toilet and a large community room, in which the association for the preservation of the linden church consecration tradition mainly has its domicile.

All rooms were equipped with new flooring and the building was also energetically renovated.

The upper floor has been developed in such a way that it can be used individually, i.E. Theoretically also for a community apartment or for a youth center.

Mayor bernreuther: "but that is still to be decided by the market town council, what exactly we are going to do there for a use." The reconstruction of further buildings at the tanzlindenplatz for the installation of an exhibition and documentation center for tanzlinden and tanzlinden customs as well as a redesign of the tanzlinden area to secure the church fair are still in the planning stage. "This acceptance project has been submitted to various other demanders and the key demander that it can work at all is ‘leader’", according to bernreuther

The local action group kulmbacher land e.V. Gave its basic approval a few weeks ago and is making available from its project budget an amount of up to 370,000 euros as a share of the total requirement of 1 million euros. However, it is not yet the final approval, as bernreuther makes clear: "we are very grateful for the approval of the leader project for the church fair in limmersdorf, but I must nevertheless put the brakes on the fact that we can only start the project if all the demanders also give their approval. The municipal council has given its approval under certain conditions. I am therefore pleased that the first approvals have now been received, but at the same time I have to say that we are still waiting for some of them. When they come, we will go full speed with the project again. I am very grateful to our district administrator and also to the president of the district council, henry schramm, for their commitment to various donors in this context."

Making tradition tangible

For the documentation and didactic preparation of the limmersdorfer lindenkirchweih an open-air documentation including archive and library, which is accessible free of charge all year round, should be set up on the festival grounds. It should explain the tradition by means of models, dioramas, pictures, text and film material and give the visitor also outside of the kirchweih a lively impression of this special festival. In addition, the access to the festival site is to be carried out from the rear, so that a festival operation without disturbances can be ensured and the listed buildings will not be endangered for a long time.

Second mayor veit pohlmann (FDP), who is also chairman of the association of the demand and preservation of the limmersdorf linden church consecration tradition, states: "we are first of all grateful that the market thurnau has made the first mabnahme with the community center. For the further measures in the planning it is crucial that leader has entered together with the office for land development. This is about the infrastructure around the lindenplatz, which opens up the lindenkirchweih from the other side. We are working on this and we are trying to make it possible through grants and hopefully it will be successful. Our task is to turn this into a concept that can be financed."

"I don’t think robert lewandowski is a problem for bayern munchen, but didi hamann is a problem for sky," said sports director hasan salihamidzic after munich’s 3:1 win over FC schalke 04 in the bundesliga, referring to the former bayern professional and current sky expert. "The people at sky should think about didi hamann," salihamidzic recommended to the TV station.

Hamann replied via the broadcaster’s app: "if you want to discuss this in a serious and serious way, you can and should do so. But what I don’t understand is when it goes into the personal area – I didn’t understand that. This is something where I have to maintain professionalism and respectability as FC bayern."

Salihamidzic had spoken both at the sky microphone and later in the mixed zone of a "campaign" that hamann (45) was leading against the munich attacker. "I have to single out robert lewandowski in our good team because he is simply a leader. He runs in front, he is our top scorer, he is one of the best stormers in the world. When someone criticizes him like didi hamann, you just can’t let it stand," salihamidzic (42) said.

The station commented on the dispute over hamann: "his judgment is generally held in very high esteem, as he also represents controversial theses that are not always shared by everyone." Bayern sports director salihamidzic pointed out that record international lothar matthaus had praised lewandowski "in coarse tones" in his role as a sky expert. Matthaus "really knows a thing or two about soccer," salihamidzic noted: "you can’t say things like that about a player like that, that’s why it’s clueless," salihamidzic reproached hamann."
