Thurnau – smoke detectors can save lives. "If you don't have one installed in your apartment or house, you're playing with fire", says district fire inspector siegfried zillig after the fire in thurnau, which killed an 81-year-old man on thursday due to smoke poisoning.

The fire in thurnau and the attempted arson in oberzettlitz have led to renewed discussion about the importance of smoke detectors. How important are these?
Siegfried zillig: without referring to the current fire, we know from many other incidents that smoke alarms save lives. They trigger the alarm at an early stage and wake up sleeping people. 70 percent of the 200,000 or so fires registered in germany each year occur at night. 95 percent of the people who die in fires do not die from burns, but from smoke poisoning, such as that caused by smoldering fires. If a smoke detector goes off, the chances of everything ending well are much greater.

The CSU in wiesentheid is rustet for the elections next march.

The local association re-nominated incumbent werner knaier for mayor with 29 of 29 possible votes. At the same time, a list was drawn up for the town council with the aim of creating one more seat than the previous five in the town hall.

On saturday shortly after midnight the rear left tire of a tractor unit burst. A tractor-trailer loaded with air freight was on its way to frankfurt. The 63-year-old greek truck driver had no chance to take corrective action. The tractor unit overturned and became wedged in the left lane with the trailer. Spilled diesel fuel spread on the opposite lane and seeped into the soil at the central guard rail. The fire departments of geiselwind and schlusselfeld supported the barrier removal and cleaning work.

For the duration of the salvage work, the highway had to be completely closed for a time. After the truck was salvaged, the water management office decided that the diesel-contaminated soil had to be dredged and disposed of. For this reason, the left lane remained closed until shortly before 3 p.M. The truck driver himself escaped with a minor shoulder injury. Fortunately, other road users remained unharmed, which is almost miraculous considering that the median barrier was depressed to 100 meters.

Two damaged roads and an application for traffic calming were dealt with by the building committee of the eltmann city council at its meeting on monday afternoon. Once again it became clear that if motorists behaved according to the traffic regulations, there would be no need for many signs.

In the concrete case it concerns the ruckertstrabe in eltmann, a narrow residential street in eltmann. It’s a steep climb, and even when turning in, mayor michael ziegler (CSU) and the members of the construction committee had to drive carefully because the first parked car slowed down the driveway. A turning mull vehicle or also a rescue vehicle had had first problems. Further up, where the road runs parallel to the slope, there is almost continuous parking on one side. "Nobody in their right mind drives faster than 30 km/h, rather slower", said city councilor bruno wittig (CSU). Nevertheless, residents complain about speeding and would like to see the speed limit reduced to 30 kilometers per hour.

Gilbert becaud sang about him. He exists as a special postage stamp, as the title character in the opera, as a cartoon character in several films (most of which have little to do with the original), and even a dwarf planet is named after him – we’re talking about antoine de saint-exupery’s "the little prince".

Probably the most widely read french author of the 20. The world-famous (children’s) novel was written in 1942,

After several serious rail accidents with deaths and injuries, german railroads (DB) plans to equip some 600 older signal boxes with additional safety technology over the next five years.

In a first step, up to 50 signal boxes nationwide are to be modernized this year, a DB spokeswoman told the deutsche presse agency. On the list of the first facilities to be targeted for this purpose is the interlocking in aichach near augsburg, where a passenger train collided with a stationary freight train in may 2018. The 37-year-old driver of the bavarian regiobahn train and a 73-year-old female passenger died, 14 passengers were injured, some seriously.

"The vast majority of the greens want to achieve the steering function to climate-neutral action with a higher price. We social democrats believe that the state must first create certain framework conditions, especially for low-income earners, so that society can change its ways. I’ll put it this way: the greens are acting neoliberally," mutzenich told the berlin newspaper tagesspiegel.

"It may have something to do with the fact that your voters have high incomes on average," he continued. "In my hometown of poland, too, i observe that the grunes are making a policy that is very much tailored to their own clientele. We social democrats want structural changes, but we want to implement them in such a way that we include as many people as possible and not just certain, mostly financially privileged groups."

More than 5.8 million facial images are currently available in the databases of german security agencies for inquiries by police and customs authorities. This is the result of a response from the federal government to a question from interior affairs expert andrej hunko (left).

The department of the federal criminal police office (BKA) responsible for politically motivated crime and espionage also had a further 3124 photos "stored ready for research" at the beginning of january, as the interior ministry goes on to explain. However, the image database of the state security department is not accessible to all users of the police information network.

The construction boom continues unabated. Construction sites in bamberg’s bacon belt are in particular demand. But here, municipalities can hardly offer free plots of land to those willing to build. The bulk is in private hands. A large number of them are building jerks. In total, the FT’s research revealed that there are currently around 100 vacant community sites. While the standard land values here are up to about 300 euros per square meter, privately owned building plots can easily pay up to 500 euros. Municipalities are reacting to the continuing demand and are increasingly designating new building areas, especially in their own districts. This will mean a good 800 new plots in 2020/21. The FT has inquired where there are how many sites and where new ones are planned in the foreseeable future. We also shed light on the prices. A detailed report with an overview of vacant land and where and when new building sites will be on the market, you will find in the premium area.
