The hot rod of the soapboxes is launched in wolfsdorf

The hot rod of the soapboxes is launched in wolfsdorf

Ten-year-old tim gruner will probably be at the soapbox race on 2. On the occasion of the wolfsdorf church fair in september, uwe krautz stole the show from all the other participants with his BMW dixi replica. He has his grandfather jurgen gruner and his godfather denny gruner to thank for this. With about 150 hours of work, the two men from lichtenfels have built a vehicle that is absolutely worth seeing, with its narrow windshield opening and its long "snout" reminds you of an american hot rod.

A taste of racing

Already last year tim gruner raced in wolfsdorf with a borrowed soapbox and got a taste of racing air there. But this year he will start with his unique BMW-dixi replica – and no matter how the race turns out, the spectators will cheer and celebrate him.

Truck continues after accident and is stopped by motorists

Thanks to some motorists, a cursed accident perpetrator did not remain unknown. The driver of a semitrailer truck caused an accident at the biebelrieder junction near mainstockheim (lkr. Kitzingen) had a traffic accident with a passenger car and drove on without stopping. The driver of the car was slightly injured in the accident and the damage was about 8.000 euros caused.

Against 19.30 o’clock the semitrailer was driving on the right lane of the A 3 in the direction of frankfurt, according to the police report. To make it easier for another tractor-trailer to enter from the A7, he switched to the left. In doing so, he ignored a female opel driver who was following him, causing her to crash into the rear of his trailer. According to witnesses, the truck driver briefly reduced his speed, but then simply drove on.

A confirmation in the cowshed

Hanns friedrich it was, to stay in the style of pastor lutz mertten’s sermon, "by far" the "cow-lst confirmation in corona times. At least that’s what confirmand ronja marek said. The celebration took place in a large barn on the dairy farm at birkenhof in bundorf. The "church room was right next to the feeding places of the cows, which did not love to be storked by the guests. They continued to ask in peace of mind or went to the appropriate device for a back massage. It was certainly not due to pastor lutz mertten’s sermon that a large proportion of the animals then lay down to sleep in a relaxed manner, but rather due to the usual noon hour. Just an unusual place and thus an unusual confirmation. But quite appropriate, as the pastor said, "because jesus was also born in a stable, so why not celebrate the service here?."

This special church room had come about after there was not enough space in the evangelical church of sulzdorf, to which bundorf also belongs, during corona times. Thus came the idea of a house confirmation, said pastor lutz mertten. Ronja marek’s family has a large dairy farm, and so the idea of celebrating her daughter’s confirmation here was born.

Bamberg hopes for rough coup

Bamberg hopes for rough coup

The brose baskets have a lot planned for the big game today (20.45 o'clock/fee livestream on sport1.De) against ZSKA moscow. "We have beaten a rough one at home in every euroleague season, on thursday it should be ZSKA", after the triumphs against olympiakos piraus two years ago and against panathinaikos athens last season, bamberg's success coach chris fleming has his sights set on the next surprise against one of the top teams in the kings' league.
A year ago, the brose baskets were also close to a sensation against the russian series champions: but two seconds before the end, superstar milos teodosic shocked the bambergers with his three-pointer and secured an 81-78 victory for the high favorites.
Bamberg's new top thrower boki nachbar hopes that this will not happen again "because with a win we were definitely just centimeters away from reaching the top 16." Nevertheless, the ex-NBA star realistic: "moscow is definitely the favorite in this game, but: it's up to us to keep playing well at home and maybe surprise them. We know how important this game is – and that's how we're going to approach it. With the will to win and put us in an excellent starting position", promises neighbor, who has been badly weakened by a virus lately, a heiben tanz to the star ensemble, which has already qualified for the top 16 with 6:1 victories just like barcelona (7:0) and istanbul (4:3).

Fleming: we are super focused
"Moscow is naturally a team playing for first place in our group. For us every game is very important. I believe this home game can give us the momentum we need for the do-or-die encounters that await us thereafter. That's why we want to be super focused", fleming already looking ahead to the two finals in vilnius and against belgrade. One of bamberger's two rivals will secure its second win of the season today in a direct duel in the serbian capital.
If the bamberger (2:5 victories) can build on the first half in istanbul, and if this time they are able to keep their concentration high for the entire 40 minutes, they will have the "red wall" in their hands in the back certainly an aubenseiterchance. On sunday in tubingen, the three-time double winners recovered well from their 73-82 defeat at besiktas (after a 42-36 lead at the break) and defeated the swabians 76-56 despite the travel hardships.
"We will have to play our best game in front of the great fans in the bamberg arena in order to win", stresses ZSKA coaching legend ettore messina ahead of bamberg match. In the first leg in moscow, the bambergers were still ahead 53:51 before the final quarter, before top thrower sonny weems (17 points), who last season still showed off with kaunas in bamberg, nenad krstic, vladimir micov (both 13) and viktor khryapa (10) with a 25:14 run in the last ten minutes still secured the 76:67 victory.
One thing is clear: if the bamberg team wants to keep its dream of beating ZSKA and reaching the top 16 alive in front of an estimated 500 million TV viewers (this week's top euroleague game will be broadcast live in 97 countries and cannot be seen on free TV in germany), the entire team will have to show the determination that anton gavel exemplifies in every game.

Newspaper: microsoft launches store network in europe

In the coming year the opening of several businesses is planned. Before that, however, the development of the american microsoft store should be put on the test stand, it said, citing an informed person.

Since 2001, apple has built up a network of around 400 shops. They are both a showcase for devices such as iphones, ipads and macs and an important source of revenue. Initially ridiculed as a foray by the company into an area it knows nothing about, apple stores now generate the highest sales per square meter in the industry. In germany, there are ten apple stores so far, with the opening of a store in berlin expected soon.

The trees are waiting for water

The trees are waiting for water

He doesn’t want to be dissatisfied, he says, and looks across the meadow. District technical advisor michael stromer takes a tour of one of the most beautiful places in the district, the meadow orchard of the environmental station near banz monastery. There are 230 trees here with about 80 different kinds of fruit. The very rough part of it are apple trees. From the banzberg you can look far down on meadows and fields between nedensdorf and herreth. But this idyll cannot hide the fact that there was not enough rain here either.

On 3. October is harvest day again below kloster banz. "I have the impression that the meadow orchard here is still a little better than in other parts of the county", stromer says about the apple harvest this season. 2018 was a strong year, this year a lower yield was already to be expected, because the amount of apples fluctuates annually anyway. A strong year is usually followed by a weaker one.

“We are insanely happy”

"We are insanely happy"

The first abtswinder bavarian league home game in the club’s history takes place against don bosco bamberg. "We’re all really looking forward to it," said abtswind coach mario schindler, not hiding his excitement about the start of the round robin.

The bambergers, who have now overtaken local rivals eintracht as the city’s number one team, have been playing to stay in the league for the last three years since their promotion to the bavarian league, but they have managed to hold on to the league one more time, including most recently thanks to a more successful ruck round. This season, too, the goal of the bamberg team is to stay in the league. The 40-point mark is regarded as the barrier that must be broken as soon as possible. "For me, they are a thoroughly seasoned bavarian league team," says schindler about the opponent.

Arson and broken brakes

Arson and broken brakes

Was it jealousy? Was it heartbreak? Something must have preoccupied a now 37-year-old so much that he forgot law and order. With bad consequences: he is now suspected of three counts of attempted murder, is in jail and awaiting trial.
As senior public prosecutor herbert potzel, bayreuth, confirmed when asked by the bayerische rundschau, the man is accused of cutting a brake hose on the car of his beloved, who did not catch him. He also allegedly threw an incendiary device at the house of the woman’s new life companion.
Act 1 of the relationship drama played out in west germany. In late 2011, the woman first discovered a punctured tire on her car. A little later, on a slippery road, she found that the brakes on her car had failed.Miraculously, there was no accident. Cause of the brake failure: a cut brake hose. In addition, the radiator had been violently damaged.
Act 2 takes place in kulmbach: shortly after the incidents, the woman moved to kulmbach to her new life companion – who one day also had to discover that a brake hose had been cut on his car. However, the man noticed this before he drove off. In addition, the exchanged lover, who, according to the prosecution, traveled several hundred kilometers to commit his crimes, allegedly threw incendiary devices at the house of the woman’s new partner. Traces of this attack led investigators to the 37-year-old.
A warrant was issued against the man for three counts of attempted murder, aggravated arson, and one count of attempted and one count of completed dangerous interference with traffic. According to the chief public prosecutor potzel, the accused has admitted to having committed the crimes. But he did not want to kill the woman and her partner. The investigation is still ongoing. It is not yet clear when charges will be filed.
