Csu district chairwoman sees altrichter as possible deputy

News

The two elections "in a row, in which the city leaders in bad rodach and neustadt were elected, are around – time for CSU district association to look ahead. County chairman jurgen W. Heike (neustadt) relies in particular for the district council on the "foal-elf", which was founded four years ago, but also looks back on the results of the elections in neustadt and bad rodach with a bit of disappointment.

The fact that the CSU in bad rodach did not even put forward a candidate is a source of concern to the district chairman. "More than a little, how heike betrayed. But now nothing could be done about it. "Unfortunate run" the thing is evenly, one must tick this off. Just like the not-so-bad 32 percent for frank altrichter in neustadt. The county chairman had expected a few more votes in sunday's election, but the people of neustadt had just said to themselves: "keep it up."

Altrichter in the state parliament?
Heike does not believe that frank altrichter's election defeat by frank rebhan means he has finally left coburg for munich. On the contrary: he believes that the neustadt native, who now works in the ministry of social affairs, will become one of the most important figures in CSU politics in the coburg district in the future. On which position? "I could well imagine him as my successor in the state parliament", says heike. But things don't go quite so smoothly for the CSU district chairman either. "I have four or five candidates in mind for this office," he says – and one of them would certainly be frank altrichter.

In 2014, of course, mayoral elections are also on the program. With the state of preparations in some local associations, jurgen W. Heike quite satisfied. With sonnefeld, for example, where michael keilich, the CSU candidate to succeed rainer marr, is in the starting blocks. "A good man.", says heike about the 36-year-old "who is very rooted in the associations and in the community" be. And, what is particularly important to the district chairman: "he can work."

Benning as successor for preb
Satisfied is jurgen W. Heike also with the decision that in rodental gunter benning should run as successor for gerhard preb. The current head of the building authority is a no-nonsense man who also has some technical knowledge. And the district chairman has also discovered an important characteristic in benning: "he is a team player."
Elsewhere, on the other hand, the CSU does not seem to have really gotten going yet. At any rate, this is how heike's statement can be interpreted, that some local associations have not yet taken a step forward in terms of personnel have come ahead.

No hurry in the CSU in the case of the district council candidate. Of course, the district chairman assures me, there will be one. But for now, the focus at the district level is on the state elections in the fall. When this has been successfully brought to an end (in the case of heike with a direct mandate for the state parliament), the personnel of the candidate for the state council will be fixed.

Heike remains mysterious
Whether names are already being discussed for this, jurgen W. Heike not betrayed. He remains mysterious: a "surprise" candidate but he does not want to rule out the SPD's designated candidate, michael busch. Only one thing, heike laughingly revealed, was certain at the moment: "it won't be me this time".

A bit of luck is part of life. But of course it is also about meaningful chess moves. Perhaps this is why the logo of the recently founded prokitzingen association is reminiscent of toy figures grouped around the falter tower? Secretary helga muller laughs – and shakes her head: "no, the figures symbolize that we are close to the burghers and make politics from kitzingen for kitzingen."

Acting smart is nevertheless important – that's what seasoned mannerists like franz bohm and hans schardt have long known. The two city councilors split off from the CSU a good five years ago and founded their own political grouping: prokitzingen.

In order to put their non-partisan work on a broad basis, they are now in the process of launching an association: the prokitzingen e.V., from which a list of candidates for the new city council is to be generated in the near future. As is known, the municipal election will be held in march 2014.

"We want to be an alternative to the well-known groupings," states former kitzingen mayor franz bohm. Under the motto "from kitzingen for kitzingen", prokt wants to live up to its name and take care of the issues that are important locally and influence the lives of the people of kitzingen. "We will put up a list for the city council, but not a candidate for mayor," bohm makes clear.

"It's all about finding common-sense majorities." Franz bohm prokt

He is pleased that the club, which is still in the process of being notarized, already has 50 members. "They come from all over kitzingen and the local districts – and these are also the boundaries on which our association focuses."

The goal is to take care of the little things in life that often get lost in the day-to-day politics. "Cleanliness in the city, proper toilets, enough bicycle stands, a nice restaurant on the main – all that is just as important as some rough topics, such as the revitalization of the old town or, of course, the conversion," says bohm.

His club wants to make "politics out of practice". "Fortunately, we have many people as club members who really know their stuff and have their ear to the burger. For example, artur rohner or walter vierrether," bohm says happily. "We want to stand up for the city – completely independent of parties."

Loud party politics are in many cases not necessary or even obstructive. Anyone who wants to be involved in the city's well-being can become a member of prokt – even if they are already in a party. "It concerns us to find reason majorities."

The prokt people also already have very concrete goals. "The social city is very close to our hearts, and we will work for it," bohm emphasizes. "And we want to contribute to the revitalization of the city center by reopening the long-closed roxy cinema as a cinema and cabaret venue."

What else prokt plans? Franz bohm says with a grin before the official meeting for the city council list: "we don't want to move all our powder in advance." As experienced stretchers in local politics, they plan their chess moves carefully. "And, above all, close to the people," promise franz bohm and helga muller.

Independent of parties

History: more than five years ago, franz bohm and hans schardt left the CSU after internal squabbles. The two founded their own independent group and called it prokitzingen. In order to be able to run for the next election stronger, they now founded the association prokitzingen. The team: ten weeks after the foundation meeting, the prokitzingen e.V., which is currently going through the certification phase, already 50 members. The chairman is franz bohm, his deputy is hans schardt, the secretary is helga muller and the treasurer is dirk wittmann. The assessors are manfred hergert, susanne muller-orth and dietmar orth. Assembly: this tuesday, 10. December, takes place from 19 o'clock the open assembly for the city council list in the guesthouse "schranne".

Selfies with the troja horse

The people of iphofen and the tourists alike were amazed when the market square was recently closed and industrious craftsmen began to build a three-by-seven-meter platform opposite the knauf museum and also placed an oversized "wooden box" at the edge of the square. In the end, there was a trojan horse in the middle of iphofen – as a spectacular advertisement for the new special exhibition at the knauf museum, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. Birthday.

Since the pyre reconstruction for the witch craze exhibition and the dugout canoe trip on the river main for the exhibition "early main history", museum director markus mergenthaler is known for spectacular actions, but with a sound scientific background.

Visual stimulus before the exhibition

What would homer’s epic of the trojan war, with which generations of schoolchildren have been familiarized, be without the trojan horse?! That’s what mergenthaler thought in the run-up to the special exhibition "heinrich schliemann troja," which will be on display from 15. June in the knauf museum shows exhibits from the berlin troja collection and thematizes the person heinrich schliemann.

With the company bohm bau from markt einersheim, the knauf museum found the right partner for the construction of a trojan horse. The designs were made by the wurzburg artist vladimir petrichev, who has been active in many museum exhibitions, and by the museum director mergenthaler.

Oversized rocking horse

When the podium was in place and the horse was brought to the marketplace on a two-axle hanger, it looked like a rough rocking horse. But not for long. Because when gerald koos had the wooden horse on his crane hook and pulled up, the legs folded down and an imposing six-meter high horse came to light.

Koos had around 1.8 tons of spruce and fir wood on the hook. The bohm craftsmen routinely tapped in the missing bolts and stabilized the horse’s legs on the rump. Lowered onto the platform, the legs were then bolted together. Last came the tail of the horse.

When the horse was standing, the craftsmen tom weber, kevin steet, werner tschechne and thomas appel, together with markus mergenthaler, celebrated the topping out ceremony, so to speak, on the horse’s back.

Selfies with the wooden horse

And the oversized wooden box? The turned out to be a platform for selfies with the wooden horse, which was eagerly used after the installation. Even during the campaign, passers-by were taking pictures or filming.

The ancient history

The greek poet and historian homer reports that after an almost ten-year-long, unsuccessful battle of the greeks against the trojans, they succeeded with a cunning to overcome the walls of troja and to capture the city.

The greeks built a rough wooden horse, inside of which there were soldiers. The greek army exchanged the trigger before.

The trojans pulled the wooden horse into town. There, in the night, the greeks got off the horse and opened the city gates through which the returning greek army entered.

Also in the replica on the iphofen marketplace some people were fit, but iphofen’s gates are all open anyway. Whether there really was once a trojan horse is something that even the special exhibition "heinrich schliemann troja" cannot clarify. At least the ross in iphofen is real and will remain with a short weinfest interruption until the end of the exhibition on the 4. November to see.
