For most, poor bus connections are not a problem. But what if you depend on it? I give public transport a chance.

A bumpy start – from limbach to habfurt

Drizzle slowly but steadily soaks my jacket. I stand perplexed in front of the timetable, because the next bus doesn’t leave for another hour. It’s still a good four kilometers to home. Wait or walk? I resolutely shoulder my backpack.

Recuperation in cars reduces fuel consumption

Auto

When engines work, they convert chemical energy bound in the fuel into mechanical energy: they make the car roll. If the driver brakes, part of this energy is lost again in the form of warmth, the brakes become heavier. But there are technical procedures to prevent energy losses like this one. The technical term for this is recuperation. The potential fuel savings are not insignificant.

The technical term comes from the latin "recuperare" recuperate, which means to regain or regain again. When buying a car, people who think about fuel-saving technology such as an automatic start-stop system often come across the term recuperation brake. Because both methods of increasing efficiency are usually offered together. But recuperation is not new.

Anni and hella provide atmosphere

Music

A packed hall, great music, dancing, imaginative costumes, an exuberant audience and performers who put on a program lasting more than three hours. These days, carnival events can be found in every nook and cranny in the district. And yet: the carnival at the BRK senior citizens’ home in ludwigsstadt is special.

Especially because everyone from the apprentice to the janitor to the home’s management put in a great effort. But the undisputed stars of the afternoon were others, namely anni gallitz and hella scheidig – home residents and together 173 years old. Quickly put on the doctor’s coat, straighten the black bow tie, put a stethoscope around his neck – and off he goes. Anni gallitz – alias emergency doctor dr. Gallitz – and her partner hella scheidig not. Four appearances went on the account of the two rustigen ladies. Whether at the doctor’s visit of hella scheidig, who as frau krautwurst is not too fat, but only too small for her coarse, or as a linguistic pensioner in the park, the two energy bundles were simply a blast. Also during the solo performances of hella scheidig as the dashing lola as well as anni gallitz as the "pitiful mister mollmann, who is unmasked by his wife as a regular guest of a night bar, no eye remained dry.
"We are no longer excited. We are a well-rehearsed team", the seniors confidently. Anni gallitz is 87 years old and comes from the fichtelgebirge, before she and her husband moved to lauenstein later on. Hella scheidig comes from ludwigsstadt and is one year young. Together they have been performing for decades. "We are both in the vdk. Anni was local supervisor of lauenstein, i of ludwigsstadt. We have spent several afternoons performing together and have slipped into a wide variety of roles," said steger, hella scheidig remembers with a smile. The two ladies had a whole collection of funny speeches to their credit. That is why it is not difficult for them to surprise with new performances, even if they are especially on the theme of "a boat trip is fun" had nothing in their rough repertoire.
