Under the leadership of the board of directors christoph gatz and erich werner the market buttenheim donated. The handover took place on the occasion of the museum's 20th anniversary. Since the planned celebrations had to be cancelled due to the current pandemic situation, the forderverein wants to set a sign here to remain active, to gather forces, to develop ideas and to point out new ways, according to the museum's press release.

The figure honors a man who made a unique journey from a youngster in buttenheim in upper franconia to a successful man in america, who became an important member of american society, who, out of his faith and his social attitude, generously endowed many people and institutions with foundations, gifts and scholarships, and who, despite his successes, kept both feet on the ground.

The initial niche program "vacation on the farm has grown more and more, not least thanks to the unique natural phenomenon of the sinter steps. "Together with the local and tourist association, the community has opened up the lillach valley in a new way", declares mayor rudi braun. The natural wonder of the sinter steps has made weibenohe well known and is therefore also a great attraction for the people of neuburg.

Surely the locals know their "treasure chest" although every peculiarity brings with it some unpleasant sides. The many parked cars, streams of visitors on sundays and holidays, but also more serious abuse, such as vandalism, show the dark side of the village.

But max was already happy in the morning about the snow that had fallen overnight. Christina seebach-kunzel, spokeswoman for the tourism and advertising association, even acted as if she had arranged the timing.

70 stands were there this year. Earlier there were many more. Over 130 had already been paid. But the visitors hardly notice it, but enjoy the offer. "There are calendars with nude ice cream", one has noticed, and not bought.

Last week, the federal maritime and hydrographic agency issued a permit for a 31-kilometer section in the waters of the exclusive economic zone, as did the stralsund mining authority. A subsidiary of the russian state-owned gazprom wants to start construction work this spring.

In the beginning there was this plan: the town of marktsteft is bringing new life to its old harbor. The county wants to use part of the facility – about 30 percent of the available space in a rough industrial hall – to build an environmental station. A prestigious project with a focus on education for sustainable development (ESD).

So far the plan, which was brought in may 2019 on the way. With a lot of goodwill, a few promises and a clear schedule: the environmental station can go into operation in the fall of 2021. Time went by, there were delays and corona, things got bumpy, nerves started to fray. Marktsteft increasingly attracts the displeasure of many district councillors. There were deadlines, ultimatums – and never a real go-ahead for the project.

Since tuesday, a flat lawn is being prepared on schonleinsplatz, opposite the main entrance of the savings bank, to temporarily provide a central location for the memorial.

Turn signal switches have become complicated over the years. What was once just a lever to activate the turn signals has added more functions: Headlight dimmers, flashing lights and even the horn button. Other stalks have also sprouted from the steering column, including wiper controls and cruise control. Each addition has made changing the turn signal switch just a little more complicated.

If the turn signal switch fails, it will probably be difficult to use it at first. Seems to be loose or stops when you finish a turn. The turn signals could stop working, or the headlight dimming function becomes intermittent.

Travel habits will look significantly different in the future after the corona pandemic. Getting to know foreign countries and people will become more of a focus, according to tourism expert Urs Weber, market manager for Switzerland-Tourism Austria. "The times in which one comes as cheaply as possible, as quickly as possible in a completely different environment, are over in my opinion" shows Urs Weber in the pressetext interview convinced. "Sustainability will come more and more out of the greenie and vegan corner. Many people will realize that it is simply not okay to fly to Naples or London for 100, 50 or even less euros," Weber criticizes.

Railroads in the fast lane in the future

Weber is convinced that other means of transportation, such as rail, will increase significantly. "In Switzerland, we have already had an excellently developed and also intermodally coordinated transport system for a long time. This means that connections between trains, buses and ships are coordinated with each other. In addition, that can be used with the Swiss Travel Pass – that is, with only one ticket."
