As the year draws to a close, numerous revelers will once again be burying the new year in a boisterous atmosphere. Unfortunately, not all new year’s eve parties end without consequences when property is damaged or even people are injured due to improper handling of fireworks. When burning fireworks, you should therefore follow a few rules.

So-called small fireworks such as rockets, bollers, air howlers and fountains may only be sold in the period from december 28 to december 31. Until 31. December and sold only to adults. The burning of these small fireworks is only permitted on new year’s eve and new year’s day, but not by minors and not in the immediate vicinity of churches, hospitals, children’s homes and old people’s homes.

Under 18s

Those who are not yet 18 years old must limit themselves to small fireworks such as sparklers, firecrackers and party goods. These items may also be issued to younger persons and may be rounded up throughout the year.

The renaturation of the ransbach has been a topic of discussion in the municipal council since 2015. On 23. In february 2017, the municipal council had decided to award the contract for planning the renovation of the creek to the planning office dietz und partner from elfershausen.

In the meantime a limited tender has taken place. The planning office examined the offers received and prepared a price list. The offer of the most favorable company contained an inadmissible mixed calculation concerning the building site equipment. For this purpose, the office consulted the VOB office at the government of lower franconia. A discussion is therefore still required with the most favorable bidder.

In addition, a cost calculation was made on the basis of the tender result. The calculation has shown that against the cost calculation from the building design of about 180,000 euros total costs of almost 260,000 euros are to be expected. That is almost 80,000 euros more.

The students of a shared apartment in concordia-strabe are still among those to bite the bullet: rent increase of a full 20 percent!

Price increases of this magnitude will no longer be possible as early as next week. As early as august, the bavarian state government will introduce a price brake in bamberg and 88 other cities in the state. It limits the maximum rent increases within three years from 20 to 15 percent.

The increase for the students would have been a few euros lower in this case. Not to be underestimated, one would think – given the housing costs in bamberg, which are not exactly low for low-income earners. This was also the consensus of the city council, which requested in june that the regulation for munich also be applied in bamberg. Tenor at the time: everything must be done to prevent prices from rising even further.
Nevertheless, the new law, which was introduced six weeks before the state elections, has not met with much enthusiasm in bamberg. Not even the city’s top tenant protector, thomas kliemann of the tenants’ association, believes that the rent brake will achieve the goal formulated by justice minister beate merk (CSU) of curbing the rapid price increases. "It’s just a drop in the bucket – and the real price drivers will be spared", says the lawyer for rental law.

After announcing that it would not appeal to the arbitration court against the relegation match against fortuna dusseldorf (2:2), the second-division club, which is in debt to the tune of 34.7 million euros, is concentrating on personnel planning for the new season, which begins on sunday with the start of training.

For the time being, only a skeleton team will be playing on the training ground. Because of the legal dispute, hertha has lost a lot of time and has not yet been able to make any transfers. Manager michel preetz has so far sorted out a quintet in andrej mijatovic (ingolstadt), tunay torun (vfb stuttgart), christian lell, andreas ottl and patrick ebert (new clubs open), but according to media reports, anis ben-hatira is also about to jump ship. The club baniyas SC from abu dhabi is said to have offered the striker six million euros for a four-year contract.

Hertha hopes to make double-digit millions by selling its pearls raffael and adrian ramos, but apparently the offers made so far do not yet match the capital club’s expectations. Ramos will be granted extended leave due to country match commitments with colombia, as will roman hubnik, who reached the european championship quarterfinals with the czech team. The herthans are keeping their fingers crossed for the central defender, because every day he plays in the european championships increases the costs for the cash-strapped capital club by 9300 euros. So far, hertha has collected around 260,000 euros for hubnik and will be able to collect as much as 353,000 euros if the czechs reach the final.

A kerwasbaam of a special kind accompanied the church fair in fortschwind last weekend: a magnificent nordmann fir, adorned with straw stars and glittering tinsel, stood in the middle of the pond and created – well, not a christmas atmosphere, but a kerwas atmosphere. "In any case, one has a hard time with the peeling" julian, one of the younger kerwas boys, quipped.

The reason was of course different: the boys actually wanted to refrain from putting up a tree this year, after a tree thief from the neighboring village had injured himself last year while fleeing from the protectors of the spruce tree. But two days before kirchweihbeginn "a few beers were also involved", markus admits – but they decided: without a tree there is nothing. Of course, there was no spruce to be found in a hurry. However, professional connections of one of the boys made it possible to fir. So we improvised, and if we were going to do it, we also used the christmas decorations.

The protection provided by placing it in the pond – the original idea for the already unusual location of a church consecration tree – was not enough on its own. The fir tree was still standing undamaged on sunday.
