Salmsdorf – her 90th birthday. Emmi vetter from salmsdorf celebrated her birthday on friday. Mentally very active, she still participates strongly in everyday life. "First thing every morning she reads the daily paper", reports son herbert vetter. She spends at least two hours at the breakfast table, reading page after page with a magnifying glass. "When I call her in the afternoon and ask about a certain topic, she knows exactly what the newspaper said about it, says vetter. Current politics, current affairs, sports, but also local news, these are her favorite topics.
Even today, she still takes part in the events of the rentweinsdorf senior citizens’ group, maintains old contacts and finds out about the latest happenings in her community.She is also always present at family celebrations and is happy to be visited. She still lives quite independently in her own apartment in the family home in salmsdorf.
1949 she moved here and married her husband ernst. Together with him, she ran a farm. She had two sons and now has four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. It was a hard blow when her husband died about three years ago. The two had been married for over 60 years. Emmi vetter, nee stadler, comes from treinfeld and the couple met at the train station there.
Her birthday was attended by deputy district administrator michael ziegler, mayor willi sendelbeck, and pastor hans korner. The senior citizens’ group was also present, so everyone spent a few pleasant hours in the salmsdorfer burgerhaus.

C orona tops climate. Anyone who has followed the media coverage closely over the past few weeks will have noticed that the pandemic has been the dominant theme. The discussion about climate change and its already noticeable consequences, on the other hand, has often been relegated to the margins.

The fact that the young people, who last year took part in the "fridays for future" campaign had pointed out that it is not well ordered around our environment, again become active and on friday – completely corona conform – to a demonstration "with distance" is not to be estimated high enough. Climate change does not wait until the pandemic – sometime, when? – is once over.

The resolution is clear and symbolic: "the city of coburg rejects the previously known plans for the target timetable 2030, the so-called deutschland-takt for the railroads. It disapproves of the fact that an ICE stop in coburg is no longer included. The city demands a strong commitment from all elected representatives in the parliaments to preserve the ICE connection for coburg in the long term. The administration is instructed to take all possible measures necessary to secure coburg’s permanent ICE connection."

It remains to be seen what kind of reductions these could be. The resolution was passed unanimously on thursday after mayor norbert tessmer (SPD) and IHK president and city council member friedrich herdan (CSU) pointed out that they had sent a very clear letter to transport minister andreas scheuer that day. The reason for this is the latest draft for a "target timetable for germany", which no longer provides for an ICE connection via coburg, but only an "ICE-light at 160 kilometers per hour between nurnberg and erfurt. This train would run hourly to nurnberg and every two hours to erfurt. In these two hub stations, travelers from coburg had to change trains in any case.

"The kerwa has come and the kerwa is here" and "the landlady is round, I hope the landlord stays healthy for a long time", the little local boys and girls sang as they paraded through the village with their tree. The tree was pulled by mayor heinrich sub, who had cut down the two kerwas trees that existed this year in his forest and donated them to the kerwas boys.

With the energetic help of moms, dads and grandpas, the tree of the little local boys was brought upright after a break. The pause was not foreseen, but was strongly demanded by the junior staff. Finally, it was time to go into the forest before lunch. "I’m hungry and I’m going to order something to eat", moritz said and marched into the kitchen of the sub inn. His mama anja arnold and cake chef lieb set up two trays of bratwurst sandwiches, and only after an extensive break did they start setting them up.
