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.

Wood pellets keep city hall warm

Wood pellets keep city hall warm

The city of kronach now saves around 25,000 euros a year in heating costs. Ten percent less money has to be spent on energy costs and about 248 tons less co2 per year than in previous years will be blown into the air in the future. This is possible thanks to the new wood pellet heating system, which heats the rooms in the kronach town hall and three other houses in the upper town.

For the mayor of kronach, wolfgang beiergroblein (), it is clear that the 350,000 euro investment has been well spent. He pointed out that in the past there were often problems with the former heating system from 1973, consisting of two gas boilers, each with an output of 750 kilowatts. He is pleased that the city council finally unanimously approved the renewal of the heating system with expansion of the local heating network at the may 2009 meeting after detailed discussions.

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.
