Dogs, horses and ferrets came together in vierzehnheiligen

News

Every year, the blessing of animals and humans in basilica square is an exciting event for four-legged and two-legged friends alike. Traditionally, it takes place on the anniversary of the death of the founder of the order, franc of assisi (3. October 1226).

Father stanislaus wentkowski recalled that, according to franciscan conviction, man is responsible for his fellow human beings and for the whole of nature. He pointed out that animals are god’s creatures, which, like humans, are under god’s protection. They deserve reverence because this reverence is for everything created. The reverence for them is not least an expression of the reverence for their creator. "Francis makes us aware that we all have responsibility and care in nature. As a rational being, man has a duty to take loving care of his fellow human beings. For these, too, are created by god out of love – not just people", says the franciscan.

The responsibility that man has had in nature from the very beginning can be seen in the story of creation in the book of genesis," he said. "In this responsibility we stand now to the present day. Let us take st. Francis as an example and learn to love not only our own animal, but the whole creation", so the franciscan.

Father and dwarf rabbits

"Chilli" the mongrel dog from weibendorf near herzogenaurach shook himself as a few drops of holy water beaded off his brown fur. Master attila had been for the first time at the blessing of the animals in vierzehnheiligen. "Calimero" from ebensfeld, a female maremmano, loves to be patiently caressed by franciscan sister waltraud. The guard dog from abruzzo is raised with the sheep and then protects his flock. The guardian of the monastery vierzehnheiligen, pater heribert arens, had his fun with the dwarf rabbit that lea (5) had brought from konradshof. From the fearful chihuahua, the smallest breed of dog in the world, ferrets and funny guinea pigs to the proud steeds, they had come to the blessing of the animals. The guinea fowls watched the spectacle from their kafig, while the deep barking of the landseer joined in with the ringing of the bells. They seemed to come out of noah’s ark, master and mistress were happy about the warm rays of the october sun.

Bgh overturns several additional fees of sparkasse freiburg

Sparkasse freiburg may not charge its customers for certain services. This was the decision of the federal court of justice (BGH), which declared several additional fees charged by the sparkasse to be invalid.

Banks must base certain prices on actual costs incurred, karlsruhe ruling says. Among other things, it was about five euros for postal notifications, for example, about rejected bank transfers. (az.XI ZR 590/15)

The karlsruhe judges considered this to be an unreasonable disadvantage for consumers. The savings bank had thus passed on costs to its customers that were not related to the actual notification of a non-executed payment order.

The bank may not demand a fee even for the suspension or cancellation of a standing order. According to the karlsruhe judges, this was a revocation which, by law, must normally be processed free of charge.

In an earlier ruling, the german federal court of justice (BGH) had already determined that a lien protection account should not cost more than a normal account. Also against it the savings bank had died until 2012.

Jorg schadtler of the protection association for bank customers, which had sued the savings bank, advised consumers to now reclaim overpaid fees. Meanwhile, the freiburg bank said it would reconsider its fee policy. "The amount that the savings bank is now missing is bearable", said jorg frenzel of the savings bank freiburg. "Nevertheless, due to the current interest rate policy, every euro pays for itself."

Biogas electricity becomes flexible

Renewable energies still have the disadvantage that the electricity they generate is difficult to store. In order to improve the situation, many operators of biogas plants are now rushing to do so. Erhard dietsch and helmut tittel also want to expand their plant near the dietersdorf district of vestenbergsgreuth and make it more flexible.

700,000 euros invested by the two in their plant. 350,000 euros will have to be spent on another 26-meter-diameter tank, which is required by the new dung ordinance. The rest is consumed primarily by a second engine, which is a prerequisite for the flexibilization of biogas plants that is, by the way, demanded by the state.

"We can then store electricity in the form of gas", says dietsch. If a lot of electricity is needed at peak times, the second engine is simply started up. When to switch on or off must be left to the energy supplier by remote control.

Biogas plants were previously designed for continuous electricity generation, because gas is also produced continuously. They are to be rescheduled and made more flexible in the future. Dietsch assumes that at some times both engines are running, or at night sometimes none at all.

Of the material fermented at the dietersdorf plant, 36 percent is gulle. The rest is corn and, more recently, wild plants grown for bees and insects that have to be harvested once a year.

The expansion plans of erhard dietsch and helmut tittel were also the subject of discussion in the vestenbergsgreuth town council on monday evening. The council unanimously gave its approval. "The municipal council had made itself known and refuted the arguments against the expansion, said mayor helmut lottes (CSU/UB).

A resident of dietersdorf filed a written objection to the expansion of the biogas plant. She had already tried with all her might in 2011 to prevent the construction, but she did not succeed. Now she is again calling for the building application to be rejected. If this should not happen, it kundigt "with gross probability legal consequences" to.

She justifies her objection, among other things, with the "immense danger", she believes that the biogas plants are a good investment for people, the climate and the environment. Climate-damaging gases and substances hazardous to water could escape from the plants, and highly inflammable gases could lead to accidents.

The opponent of the expansion states that there are already "massive and property value-reducing factors" to have an impact on your property in dietersdorf. As examples she mentions, among other things, the smell of the biogas plant, the "massive odor and larvae pollution caused by pig farming in the village" and the larvae load by agricultural machines. Here’s what she proposes to the farmers "once over the use of electromobility" to think about. Finally, the alarm from wind turbines 800 and 1100 meters away disturbs them.

After the unanimous approval in the community council, the approval procedure for the biogas plant expansion is now underway at the district office. As the FT learned, many preliminary talks have already been held with the operators there. According to the district administration, the flexibilization of biogas plants is fundamentally in the interest of environmental protection and is intended to provide energy when it is needed.
