Coburg: children abused in daycare center - why the case is being retried

The case made waves this spring: two former employees of a daycare center in the coburg area were charged with abuse of a ward and intentional bodily harm. Both women were convicted. The child care worker was fined 3,000 euros, her supervisor 6,000 euros. The court considered it proven that the mistreatment of children in the daycare center, as described by witnesses, had happened.

While the nursery nurse accepted the punishment, the educator filed an appeal. The case was therefore reopened on tuesday morning.

Flowers instead of asphalt

Flowers instead of asphalt

The issue of biodiversity remains topical in sollberg. As part of the village renewal, the central square and the edges of the village street were cleared of asphalt and flower beds were planted in 2014. Parts of the village community tend the flower beds. Despite the many volunteer hours, there were areas with gaps in the flower carpet due to last year’s dry summer. This now required a replanting.

The board of directors of the participating community came up with the idea of involving children in the planting process. The plant locations were prepared and numbered by gunther eichler, local representative of the village renewal of sollenberg, so that the children could put their numbered plants in the right place on their own – with a little help from the adults.
