the sun shines on guntner's premiere jump

The 18 degree air temperature doesn’t feel like much, plus the swimming pool of the outdoor pool on kitzingen’s moonshine island was already 20 degrees celsius. The sun laughed down from the sky when the new oberburg master stefan guntner gave the symbolic starting signal for the open-air swimming season with a bold dive and at the same time the blue and white flags went up as a visible sign of the opening.

"I’m not the best swimmer," the former soccer player and hobby triathlete confessed after pulling up and down a lane in the swimming pool. Of course, this would not have been noticed at all, because his crawling style could be seen and at the triathlon in the river main he has already proved his swimming ability several times.

"We are waiting for a state requirement program," said stefan guntner after jumping into the kuhle nass. Because after the non-swimmer’s pool, the swimmer’s pool is now in line for renovation and since the paddling pool is no longer up to date, major investments are in the offing. "The paddling pool has outlived its usefulness as a watering hole," stated rebecca hick, which is why there is a need for action.

Lanes in the swimming pool are partitioned off

"This year, the pool operation is new territory for everyone, whether for us as the people in charge or for the pool visitors," said rebecca hick, managing director of the kitzinger stadtbetriebe. In fact, things are different this year because of the cuts caused by the corona pandemic.

So in the swimming pool two lanes are divided laterally to ensure the 1.5 meter distance and a swimmer then pulls up a lane and after a short turn back down. To ensure that nothing happens and that distances and the hygiene concept are observed, the diving towers must remain closed until further notice.

The non-swimmers have it a little better, because above all the children and young people can look forward to the spab in the coarse slide. "We have increased staff to monitor compliance with regulations," explained peter zimmermann, operations manager at kitzingen bader.

Changing rooms and showers remain closed

The restrictions imposed by the state government mean that a maximum of 100 people are allowed in both pools at the same time, and no more than 600 visitors are allowed on the site in all. The monitoring is done via the online tickets, "but we also just pay", said peter zimmermann. The changing area remains closed as well as the showers, there are only the mushrooms at the edge of the pool to change into.

In normal years, the open-air pool opens in mid-may; this year, it’s the pool’s turn a month later. Usually the season runs until mid september, but maybe stefan guntner’s smiling hope for a golden october will become reality. "If we could reach up to 15,000 visitors a month, that would be very good," said peter zimmermann, taking a realistic view of the situation. This year, the berndt family, who lease the kiosk, open only the outside area; the inside of the cafeteria must remain closed.

Traditionally, the museum segeum in the old school in segnitz started the new museum season with a special exhibition. The theme this time is the reformation and evidence of evangelical piety.

Mayor marlene bauer reminded the numerous guests at the funeral that segnitz did not become protestant until 84 years after luther's theses were published. For this reason, this topic can also be taken up here somewhat late.

After the funeral, margarete klein-pfeuffer, who conceived the exhibition, introduced the topic. She explained that the focus was first on the reformation in segnitz and then on piety in the personal and family spheres.

Thus, on the basis of numerous exhibits of religious folk culture, the customs and practices of protestant life are traced and assigned to the various religious stages of life, such as baptism, confirmation, marriage, the last supper and death.

Numerous historical bibles, hymnbooks, pictures and objects from everyday evangelical life fill the display cases and walls. The topics of advent, christmas and pietism are also dealt with.

In a dialogue, segnitz pastor matthias wagner and hildegard mark of the kolping family marktbreit exchanged memories and experiences with faith from the perspective of the protestant and catholic confessions. The deputy district administrator robert finster and father franziskus bull of the munsterschwarzach monastery praised in their speeches the work on this topic by the segnitz museum and emphasized the open-minded cooperation between the two confessions.

The reformation and counter-reformation put many people in need of decisions and consciences, to change their denomination, to change their previous life or to adapt to local conditions.

The exhibition "freedom in faith" first shows the difficult way to achieve and maintain freedom in faith, using the example of segnitz.

It was here that, since the end of the 16th century. Special and lasting events of the twentieth century with exciting occurrences in the introduction and in the preservation of the evangelical faith. Segnitz became protestant in 1601. The new doctrine then had to assert itself for centuries between two different-denominational village lords, the catholic barons zobel and the protestant margraves of ansbach.

It was the early morning of the 13th. June, when first a bang was heard in stadelhofen and then the siren sounded. Unknowns had voted against 4.20 o'clock the cash machine blown up. They then fled with loot in the mid-figures. Witnesses had seen two mannerists driving away on a motor scooter, the scooter was then found in the solar park on the neighboring A70 motorway.

And here the kripo bamberg sees rough parallels to an almost identical incident, which had happened only weeks before at almost the same time in bayreuth: "it is about the same modus operandi", explains alexander czech, spokesman for the police prasidium of upper franconia. Two men had also tried to blow up an ATM with gas and later fled on a scooter. "Currently, the connections with this case are being examined." otherwise applies: the investigations continue to run.

Worse prevented

This also applies to a no less sensational case that had occurred almost exactly one month earlier in strullendorf. At that time, the fire department had to fight the meter-high flames on the land of the logistics company massak until deep into the night. The fire brigade just managed to prevent the flames from spreading to the adjacent warehouse.

Nevertheless, four trucks and a van burned out completely. According to company boss werner massak, there has also been damage to the building due to the intense heat. The damage thus amounts to over 750.000 euros. It will be some time before the vehicles are replaced. In the meantime, the company can continue to use the trucks of the neighboring forwarding company.

Left-wing extremist arson attack?

It quickly became clear to the police after the fire that it was intentional arson. After all, the vehicles were so far away from each other that the flames could not have easily jumped from one truck to the other. But at least officially nothing is known about who could be behind the act. Investigations in all directions. Massak still can not make sense of it: "this came out of the blue."

The police also searched for three possible witnesses who had been seen that night, but they had neither come forward nor had any information been received about them, explains anne hofer of the police prasidium.

One trail apparently continues to lead to the left-wing extremist scene: a few days after the fire, an ominous letter of confession appeared on the internet, initially on the left-wing website "indymedia". There again and again supposedly autonomous groups, under the cover of anonymity, boast that a vehicle belonging to a "jailhouse profiteer" was involved has burned in munich, berlin or leipzig. They seem to use violence against companies that do business with captives for political reasons. As a "prison profiteer the massak company is also referred to in the letter. This is because the company supplies correctional facilities with goods. It is unclear, however, whether the confessors were actually behind the crime or only claimed it for themselves. Investigations in connection with the letter are also still ongoing.

Massak has drawn the consequences: the company, together with the neighboring companies, has set up a guard service that patrols the area around the clock.

Ongoing investigation in bamberg:

Jeweler's burglary it was a spectacular act in the middle of bamberg at the green market: in the early morning hours of the 14. In january, unknown persons had crashed a stolen car into the floor-to-ceiling window of a jewelry store and stolen millions of euros worth of jewelry and watches. Thereupon the burglars fled with a stolen mazda CX5 first in the hainstrabe. There they love the car and drove presumably with another stolen mazda via strullendorf to hirschaid, where three of the presumably four manner were on the platform and at least one of them got on the train in the direction of nurnberg, witnesses had observed. Officially, this is still the state of the investigation.

Acid attack a 65-year-old woman became the victim of an attack with a corrosive liquid at the beginning of march. The incident occurred at the grunen markt in bamberg. The investigation is being conducted by the bavarian central office for combating extremism and terrorism (ZET), as an anti-semitic background is not ruled out. "So far, no findings have been made in this regard. But investigations continue in all directions", communicates the ZET. The prosecutor general's office expects another two months of investigation. According to the police, the 65-year-old woman was in front of her house on the green market at around 10 p.M. When an unknown man attacked her from behind and knocked her over with a sour cream.
