There doesn't seem to be a single road at the moment without a rough tractor on it. The tires almost reach the size of a car. The little bulldogs that farmers used to chug to their fields seem to have disappeared.

Because real tombstones stood in front of the so-called horror house in his amusement park, the operator must face charges on tuesday (13.30 o'clock) to answer before the district court in kitzingen. The 34-year-old is accused of disparaging the memory of the deceased. According to the public prosecutor's office, the man had bought the real tombstones from a stonemason for decorative purposes. At the same time, he had promised to make the inscriptions unrecognizable. However, this has not happened. Instead, in the summer of 2017, eight gravestones with fully legible inscriptions of the deceased stood in front of the "horror house. A girl had recognized the gravestone of her grandfather, who died in 1996, in the recreational area of geiselwind (district of kitzingen) and thus triggered the investigations.

Fine or imprisonment possible

The prosecution accuses the accused of having violated any boundaries of decency. He was only concerned with the marketing of the amusement park attraction.

According to the notice of approval, the entrepreneur (38 years old) was allowed to deposit a maximum of 100 tons of untested rubble on his business premises. But at the end of last year, inspectors found a mountain of about 500 tons. At that time, the material was legally classified as waste. Although it later turned out that the rubble was harmless from the point of view of environmental protection and nature conservation, the head of the company had violated the relevant regulations. The man, who has no criminal record, must therefore pay a fine of 1050 euros, as a criminal trial at the district court in habfurt revealed.

The contractor runs a company in a small town in the district of habberge, which deals with the demolition, reconstruction, renovation and shell of buildings.

As long as this demolition material is not finely crushed with a shredder and inspected by a geological expert, it is legally considered waste. Only if the crushed rubble is classified as harmless according to the test report, it may be used as recycling material and thus as a substitute for crushed stone. For example, in trench construction or for foundations.

The youth welfare office in bad kissingen has also been on the internal data highway for a long time. But from time to time, software applications need to be readjusted.

In bad kissingen, the changeover is to take place from 2020 onwards. In addition, the electronic youth welfare file is to be introduced. In order to do justice to this complex process, staffing levels must be increased, it was said in the youth welfare committee. Head of the youth welfare office siegbert goll spoke of an additional full-time or two half-time positions.
