Speed skaters did not know about bouwman announcement

News

"We found out about it from the press," moritz geisreiter, athletes’ spokesman for the german speed skating association (DESG), told the "suddeutsche zeitung". His colleague leon kaufmann-ludwig explained that in his opinion this was no coincidence. It must have been clear to the provisional DESG president, matthias grobe, "that there was no approval from the athletes for this. It was only claudia pechstein and matthias grobe who had a public dispute with bouwman."

Grobe had announced in berlin at the beginning of the month that bouwman would be celebrating in writing the end of his employment contract on his 31st. July had been communicated. The dutchman announced legal action. The background to this is the year-long rift between pechstein and bouwman, since the latter declared that he had "no desire" to train the five-time olympic champion. Thereupon there had been a months-long mud fight between both sides.

"Athletes who talk to me say they see no other profiteer than pechstein and grob. They were happy to continue working with bouwman," geisreiter said now. In addition, the 32-year-old spoke of a climate in the association that is changing in a negative direction. "Since the interim presidency, athletes have been coming up to me and saying – unasked – that they’re concerned about changing their mind because they don’t know if they’ll keep their squad status," geisreiter said. "We are currently experiencing an unpleasant phase of controversy. I am optimistic, however, that things will soon get better."

Blindly destroying his eyesight

Michael busch in the morning, 5 o’clock in erlangen – bergkirchweih times. The city slumbers, the city cleaners have begun their work. For most people, a new day begins, but for two young men in erlangen, a long day ended tragically.

In front of the erlangen disco john doe, an 18-year-old from hebdorf wanted to bum one last cigarette before taking a cab home with his friends. In the process, he met the later accused. He had been drinking heavily at the disco ("i think there were about six jagermeisters.") and also relaxed with a tip on the strabe. He had also scrounged these beforehand, so he was not in possession of his own cigarettes.

Racist insults

What exactly happened then diverged somewhat in the descriptions of the two actors now before the erlangen district court and the juvenile court before judge wolfgang pelzl, although the actual event was not in question.

A "fuck off" had indicated to the hebdorfer that he did not receive a cigarette or appropriate attention. The initially harmless consequences were the mutual insults and insults. However, the asian-looking attainant found the statements "slit-eye" and and "you only see the half" as attacks below the belt.

The friends of both parties did not manage to bring the two opponents so far apart that the dispute could be ended. "The guy just couldn’t keep his mouth shut", later one of the friends of the hebdorfer said about his friend. As a result, an action took place, which the accused later explained in his full confession with the words: "I wanted to finally be quiet!" A well-aimed left thundered into the face of the opponent. So hard that his glasses broke, so hard that the cheekbone broke, so hard that the cornea was injured, so hard that consequences occurred that the hitter had not even begun to anticipate.

Judge pelzl summed it up after the medical certificates were read out and then later during the sentencing: "what happened was what we always warn about in vain." So often, similar court cases end with the defendant being told that "they had been massively lucky". They are told about the dangers that this kind of beating can bring. Most of the time, the victims are lucky that they only get bruises when they are punched or kicked. "The consequences are so dramatic, as the court itself has seen only very rarely so." The worst consequences that such a blow can cause have occurred, with massive consequences for an unforeseeable time.

The court agreed with the lawyers represented that the defendant was not a typical hitter. The prosecution, the counsel for the defendant and the defendant’s counsel also agreed that both parties played their part in the escalation of the situation. Pelzl summed up against the accused: "you did not want these consequences, we are also convinced of that." Nevertheless, it had come to this serious bodily injury, which had such lasting consequences. "This is to be punished as dangerous bodily harm", the prosecutor had demanded in her plea.

Two years it demanded, which could be suspended, however, under consideration of the confession, the events on site and the apology to the victim for preservation.

The juvenile court saw it largely the same way and set 18 months as a sentence, which should be suspended for preservation. Pelzl stressed that the hours of work, the cooperation with the preservationist, but also the still civil consequences, such as the assumption of the medical expenses as well as the indemnities, will leave appropriate impression on the causer. "They will not soon forget this incident", he admonished.

Many ideas for Weitramsdorf

The ASB quarter house was well filled when max kraublich, the mayoral candidate of the free voters, revealed his ideas for the future development of weitramsdorf. The basis was a burger survey in which 2188 households were asked to state their ideas. The return rate was 14.4 percent.

Eight top themes emerged, which florian klugling first presented in individual presentations. Max kraublich then went on to explain solutions, which, as he put it, "are not ready-made" should be.

From the town center to the internet

With regard to weitramsdorf's town center, kraublich mentioned a bus station, the redesign of the strabenfuhrung, the integration of the town hall into the albrecht building, a multigenerational building and doctor's house, a residential complex, store space and a park.

Models for medical care could be a branch office of regiomed, family practices with independent physicians or the employment of several physicians through the diaconia station. The construction of a new, barrier-free and modern building by the municipality, including rental, was considered. "Offensive advertising" should be operated for this, said kraublich.

Since 44 percent are not supplied with fast internet and there is a high level of dissatisfaction, kraublich says the federal demand program and the digital pact of bavaria should be implemented with the goal of comprehensive fiber-optic supply.

Gastronomy "lacks a lot, said kraublich. He therefore proposed to take advantage of the municipal demand program for innkeepers and to establish a burger cafe in the center of the village.

In terms of youth work, kraublich advocated the introduction of a youth parliament and a multigenerational building in the center of the village. "We want to become a child-friendly community", he said.

The lack of support from associations was criticized in the survey. Therefore a guideline for the demand of the preservation, the new building and the modernization of real estates of the associations is planned. Other priorities included the introduction of a flat management system, a council information system, a dedicated app, a free official bulletin and quarterly castle meetings.
