FT: how was the television broadcast of the film "sect children – born to serve"? For them? What feelings do you have now?
Christine: quite honestly – almost a little pleasant feelings. That finally someone becomes attentive. I sometimes feel like I’m hitting a rubber wall when I say the kids aren’t doing well. Then they say that they are well taken care of and that nothing is missing. Now I am glad that something has changed or hopefully will change. That was the reason why I joined in the first place. I want to achieve something for the children.

So a knot has been untied?
I would not put it that way. Because I am by no means sure that something will really happen. It can also be that the affliction curses itself very quickly again. No idea.

Modernization, renewal, change: the bundesliga clubs have rough expectations of the change in leadership at the german handball association (DHB).

On saturday, bernhard bauer is to be elected as the new president at the federal convention in dusseldorf, replacing ulrich strombach, who is not running again after 15 years. "I hope that there will be a breath of fresh air. It's not like everything was bad before. But the DHB simply hasn't kept up with the development of the HBL and has missed out on professionalization," said benjamin chatton, manager of TSV hannover-burgdorf, in a survey conducted by the news agency dpa.

Enriched with personal anecdotes from her childhood and youth, mdep monika hohlmeier, the daughter of former prime minister franz josef straub, spoke in the packed "margaretenstube" at the sponsel inn for the support of the european people’s party in the upcoming european election. The representative of upper franconia in brussel presented herself as a glowing european. The reason: her father drove her by jeep to the former war theaters in europe and showed her where the partisans in yugoslavia had entrenched themselves.

Growing up

"This war left wounds that we are still feeling decades later, emphasized monika hohlmeier. But a united europe is more important than ever before. The world does not judge itself by the level of disputes in europe. That’s why europe has to grow up. Also because putin is in the process of creating a new kind of soviet empire and the americans have turned their backs on the atlantic region. "I’m not sure if it’s healthy", hohlmeier said.

The 140-year-old growth stands for three decisive "S "s: oxygen supplier, pollutant filtering and townscape shaping. The BN local group takes the tree on the land of the savings bank as an opportunity to point out a "fundamental deficiency" to point out: "the tree protection ordinance is not being monitored", criticizes edith fieber. "It cannot be that I have a regulation and then nobody cares about it."

Inside lazy

The federal government wants to lure thousands of iraqi refugees back to their old homeland with local jobs and apprenticeships.

In baghdad, development minister gerd muller agreed with the iraqi government on stronger cooperation for the return of refugees and opened a migration counseling center in the kurdish town of erbil. No one should have to return to their home country as a "loser", the CSU politician stressed. For this reason, training and employment opportunities are being created on the ground in cooperation with the iraqi authorities and the economy. Up to 10.000 iraqis to be helped by project to regain foothold in their homeland. The emphasis is on voluntarism.

It could be a wedding, the birth of a child or simply a sign of unity. Many cities give their citizens the opportunity to plant trees. Small signs commemorate donor and occasion. On the initiative of city councilor eva reichert-nelkenstock (grune), such a project will now also take place in bad bruckenau. From now on, burgers who wanted to take part could contact her. Five requests for tree donations have already been received, says the city council’s nature and environment officer.

First, the new trees along the kirkham path are to be planted. "The idea is also to replace our city trees with this action", describes reichert-nelkenstock. In georgi park, for example, some trees are already very old. To prevent pests from infesting the young plants, the initiator relies on a mix of native tree species. She mentions maples, lime trees and oaks as examples.

"Mad". Holger hassel, director of the SOS children's village upper palatinate, could not say more. After a few seconds of surprise, he added: "this is a commitment, someone should say something against today's youth"!"
What happened on tuesday afternoon in the SOS children's village?? Six young girls from the montessori school in mitwitz and their teacher marco hofmann paid a visit to the facility. They had a thick envelope full of banknotes and coins. It was the income and donations from a charity dinner. 19 girls and boys from the seventh to ninth grades organized it in the school hall.
The kick-off came at the campfire. Flyers have been printed and distributed at the open tur day. Companies and sponsors were contacted and a menu was printed. The main menu consisted of a barlauchsuppe, a gemuselasagne with stuffed mushrooms and potatoes and different desserts. Everything prepared by the students themselves, of course.
73 parents, well-known companies and teachers followed the invitation to celebrate a pleasant day with music accompaniment and to challenge and help children. During the preparations, the decision was made in favor of the SOS children's village. The effort and mooing of the young people paid off.
Together with the money from the donation box, a total of 1157.30 euros was raised. An amount that amazed and more than surprised the director of the SOS children's village, holger hassel. It goes without saying that the guests from mitwitz were invited to take a tour of the SOS children's village and get to know the facility with all its areas of responsibility. 

"We believe that it is essential to maintain the game in an appropriate environment, even during the transitional period." Jan saeger, head of corporate communications at brose fahrzeugteile, puts it clearly. The reason for this is a proposal by the CSU/JC, PWC, SBC and FDP city councillor hans-heinrich eidt to continue to cap the costs for an interim stage. In december 2016, the city council decided that the interim budget should not exceed six million euros.
But apparently more money is needed. How much, the city may not say because of the ongoing proceedings. From "eight to ten million is in the urgent motion, demanding not to increase the amount in any case. If a tent is not accepted as an alternative venue, then the theater should play at alternate locations, it says.
"The coburg state theater is a beacon in the cultural landscape of northern bavaria beyond the city limits and at least forms a counterpoint to the extensive cultural offerings in the cultural heritage city of bamberg, for example", it says in the brose statement.
Coburg also receives above-average tax revenues. The state theater also receives substantial financial support from the state due to the state treaty. The state of bavaria has also agreed to finance 75 percent of the interim match costs "regardless of the actual costs".
The text concludes with the urgent appeal: "i therefore ask you, on behalf of the brose company, to support the concept presented to the city council by mayor tessmer and to stand up for an appropriate interim status for the landestheater."

Here the statement in the wording:
"Dear members of the coburg city council, we are following the discussion about the transitional stage of the landestheater that has arisen as a result of the urgent motion by the CSU/JC, FDP, SBC and pro coburg with great interest – and with concern for coburg as a cultural and business location. I am therefore addressing you on behalf of the brose company.
We consider it essential to maintain the game in appropriate premises, even during a transitional period.
In our efforts to recruit qualified and demanding employees for brose, we are facing intense competition. The quality of life at our sites plays an important role here, in addition to the direct occupational aspects. The coburg state theater is a beacon of light in the cultural landscape of northern bavaria beyond the city limits and at least forms a contrast to the extensive cultural offerings in the world heritage city of bamberg, for example, with the bamberg symphony orchestra and the eta hoffmann theater.
Coburg generates above-average tax revenues compared to other cities in bavaria. The state theater receives substantial financial support on the basis of a state contract. And even during the necessary renovation work
the free state with a 75 percent commitment to the
the financing of an interim stage contributes significantly, regardless of the actual costs. From our point of view, it is therefore incomprehensible to question the city's commitment to the continuation of such an important cultural offering.
We think that a suitable transitional playground, designed for the entire transitional period, is absolutely necessary. To move the state theater from provisional to provisional or to close it completely for the interim period, as has been discussed in some quarters, would in our view mean the end of this institution, which is so important for the city, its people and its companies. Thus coburg was deprived of one of its few strong points in competition with other cities.
I therefore ask you, on behalf of the brose company, to support the concept presented to the city council by mayor tessmer and to stand up for an appropriate interim status for the landestheater."

"The place has become really good", is the balance of roswitha hippler. She comes from the henneberg housing estate and is concerned about the terrible conditions on the site and the children's playground opposite, and says: "instead of bushes, dirt and shards, we now have a clean facility."
For this, she sat down with others from the north-east district in the "citizens' circle" a. First the playground became the "pirate's gold now it was the turn of the 1000-square-meter plot on the opposite side to be redesigned. But that's not the end of the story, says ms. Hippler. And that is why it has a small flea market as part of the official opening of the "meeting place" built and every euro goes into the common treasury. In addition, the cash register is fed by the sales of cakes and coffees and the barbecue and drink station.
Brigitte wolf, spokeswoman of the working group, also stands behind a stand and is proud of what has been achieved, but at the same time emphasizes: "the money that comes in will be used for improvements." After all, you're not a money-hoarding center, and a new idea is born: you could put low-growing bushes on the roof plants at the edge of the road, which visually delimit the meeting place and also stop the fubball from time to time, so that it doesn't roll onto the road.
From roswitha hippler comes the suggestion to provide a little more shade. And then city planner christine schwind said that they were already looking for additional trees that would have to make way elsewhere and could certainly still fit here.
In the official part "of our little festival – u. A. Designed by the ukrainian choir – brigitte wolf looks back on the history of the playground and meeting place, which was created under the working title "generationenplatz" the playground was created by the citizens' association and as part of the "social city" project was implemented and demanded.

Everybody has to keep a clean sheet
But most of all it honors the courage, the will of the burgers to make a difference. "It was a difficult story at first, but it was worth it", she looks back and draws a positive conclusion for the current situation: "the meeting place has become better than we imagined."
With the changes, however, the responsibilities have also changed grown, she says. The playground is praised for its cleanliness and also by "foreigners" frequented.
She hopes for the same from the meeting place, and there are already examples: she has seen vocational school students who live in the adjacent houses of the ARC campus and use the place in the evenings for birthday parties. The next day the place was clean, and she wanted this sense of responsibility from everyone who would use the place, including the dog owners – and for the latter she got demonstrative applause.
Mayor kay blankenburg also praised the commitment of the burghers, whose most important contribution was "their wishes, their ideas were, on the other hand, the good cooperation of all. He was referring not only to the city administration, but also to kidro/kip as active help and the companies laboklin and schaible, the AFZ and the savings bank as cooperation partners, who have supported the expansion of the pitch with four-digit amounts.
With the boules court, the open-air chess field, the ping-pong table and the two seating areas, the northeast district has gained in "quality of stay" won, the oberburg master said, and to keep it that way, brigitte wolf asked: "come here, meet each other!"
