These were statements "which, with a little distance, he would not make again today," the hoeneb office said in response to a query from dpa and several media outlets. "The subject has long been settled for him and there are no further statements from him on the subject."

A magnificent building in new splendor

After the parish service in st. Markus, pastor norbert bergmann, blessed the fundamentally renovated "old parish house" and asked god’s protection and blessing also for the future residents who will move in there in mid october.

Planned were the redevelopment costs with 970000 euro, which have meanwhile increased to about 1.21 million euro. The one or the other surprise in the construction phase and the bad condition of some things led to the corresponding increase in costs. 685,000 euros were granted by the archbishop’s ordinariate, 5,000 euros by the office for the preservation of monuments, 28,000 euros by the upper franconia foundation and 13,620 euros by the bavarian state foundation. The bischberg parish received an interest-free loan of 150,000 euros "so that the old parish hall could once again become an ornament for bischberg".

City of freiburg returns to microsofts office

city of freiburg returns to microsofts office

It was never possible to solve the technical problems – also because the city decided to switch to the open document format (ODF) after the decision in 2007 for a software that was later no longer further developed.

The switch to open office was not worth it in economic terms either, the city explained. Although around 800,000 euros in license fees have been saved since the last purchase of microsoft’s office in 2001. However, this was offset by about 730,000 euros for the implementation of open office, and the experts had estimated costs of about 2.5 million euros due to efficiency losses. "The bottom line is that the targeted 100 percent conversion to open office cannot be achieved," it was said. In order not to run two systems in parallel, the experts recommended a return to microsoft’s office.

Preferred scent: young and holy

Preferred scent: young and holy

The number of people allergic to fragrances is sufficient. Fragrance-free zones in public buildings, similar to the smoking ban, would be your wish. But instead, the trend seems to be spreading more and more, because now churches are also trying to lure young people with it.

54-year-old irmtraud schmidt (name changed by the editors) makes a big fuss about the detergent and hygiene departments of supermarkets. She can’t smell the pungent odor from the packaging and is often laughed at by her fellow human beings. 18-year-old anna gets asthma attacks when she smells perfumes and essential oils or incense, and 20-year-old niklas leaves the cinema in a hurry because unfamiliar scents make his throat close up.

Sheep (wool) is the red thread in maple

In february, a time that is rather rare for carnival events, the geratemuseum ahorn has placed itself with its schlenkermarkt and has become a great visitor magnet for the fourth year now.

Candlemas once had a special meaning in the countryside. At the end of the working year, the farmhands received their wages, changed masters or lovers, and had the opportunity to look for new things at the market: clothes and trinkets or a new love. And they spent a few drunken hours in the pub.
