These are the last days of 2018. Many people are now looking back or venturing a look ahead to the next year. We asked celebrities from the district: how was it for you, the year 2018?? What are they looking forward to in 2019? And what they prefer to postpone until 2020? In the next part: district administrator thomas bold (CSU).
1. What was your high point in 2018?
Stars are also no longer what they used to be. Maybe he just wasn’t paying attention for a moment or maybe he dozed off. Just before christmas, the rough star in the sky could not hold on any longer and fell down to earth. And yet, as always, he had wanted to shine over bethlehem when christ was born. Rough star, what now? Good advice is expensive, plotzlich rhymes with "bethlehem also a "problem. But the remedy is coming, and on wings. Apparently stars also have their guardian angels. They take the star and carry it on wings to its rightful place in the sky, so that it can shine again at the right time. Just in time. But you can rely on the guardian angels.
Of course, this is a harmless story – because you should not rely only on your guardian angels. But in 2007, peter schindler, pianist, organist, composer and music producer, turned it into a small musical play for children’s choirs, which in just a quarter of an hour offers the possibility of spreading a pre-christmas atmosphere without stables and oxen and donkeys, i.E. Beyond the usual nativity plays. The six songs are set in such a way that they do not overtax the children vocally and can be sung in one or more voices. The melodies are easy to remember – and one of them is already familiar: "vom himmel hoch da komm ich her" sing the angels as they transport the star to its place. You could actually rephrase the song: "up in the sky, I’ve got to go up there". At the end, everything is back in its place and in order. And this is also shown by the music: "finally the star is back, nothing is missing for christmas happiness" is a little good mood waltz.
"Tobias elsaber is not just an author, but a real multi-talent", explains christiane weib, head of the bamberg public library, to the young listeners. Around 25 elementary school students came to the parish hall of maria hilf on tuesday afternoon to hear tobias elsaber read from his book "linus lindbergh und die invasion der roboter" (linus lindbergh and the robot invasion) to be read aloud. The 45-year-old author has already been a boy band member, a freelance journalist for radio and even a software programmer, among other things.
Currently elsaber is on the road as an author, singer and songwriter. He writes novels for children and teenagers, even though he grew up without any children’s books and had to sit out the fourth grade because he had failed a german class. But in the meantime he finds writing and above all imagination "totally cool, because it offers more possibilities than reality. "Ever since i was a child, it has been my dream to live in the middle of stuttgart airport," the children sing loudly, he notes. For this reason, the main character of his book was also placed in the middle of an airport.
Sometimes days start terribly: you are sitting tired in the school bus and next to you a classmate is playing terrible music loudly. On days like this, you want to go home to bed right away! The situation is quite different, as was reported a few weeks ago by the HDE. Then one got perhaps even good mood – because favorite music makes spab.
Favorite music depends on parents and friends
but what is actually favorite music? And where does it come from? These are the questions that 60 young students explored on friday with professor stefan hormann and his colleague roland kocina. The two are music padagogues. That is, they research all things related to music. And they explore how good music teaching works.
"It has never been this rough", says the deputy general manager of maria bildhausen, michael nowotny. Chief organizer rainer ludwig, group leader in the workshops for people with care needs, has gone one better for the fifth edition. Much of what has thrilled the thousands of visitors in recent years will be there again. And there will also be a lot of new things to discover. 50 camp groups from different eras with about 450 participants are scattered all over the extensive monastery grounds.
In 2013, for the first time, those responsible in maria bildhausen decided to resurrect the middle ages in the old walls. To make sure it sticks in people’s minds, the second edition followed in 2014. "At that time we postponed it for a week", says michael nowotny. The organizers did not want to collide with the botenlauben festival in bad kissingen-reiterwiesen. This takes place every two years on even years. In 2015 there was the third forum cistercium. Since then, the rule has been that the spectacle is always held in alternation with the botenlauben festival, i.E. On odd-numbered years, always on the weekend after the start of school. After 2017, the fifth edition is now starting and this small jubilee is to be celebrated in a special way.
A journey of discovery through the brewing culture of the habberge district is offered by the enjoyment festival all about local beer, which will take place on saturday, 27. April, from 14 to 22 o’clock on the historical market place of the city konigsberg takes place. In case of bad weather, the event moves to the stadthalle am bleichdamm.
A varied program awaits the visitors. The start is at 14.30 o’clock, when the new beer princess kerstin friedrich together with district administrator wilhelm schneider and mayor claus bittenbrunn will officially open the festival.
