BN district chairman anton reinhardt enthused about his homeland: "our region is already. Here we have in many parts still harmoniously embedded in the area villages with small-structured cultural landscape in their surroundings: wayside crosses, wayside shrines, scattered orchards, forests, fields, meadows, hedges and cultural monuments of european rank. Here we still have arable land and forests that store CO2. But franconia is in danger! Our francophone landscape deserves better than more and more uniform concrete blocks at the entrance to towns and faceless settlements on the outskirts." read more

A bottle and a glass have already left bloody marks. read more

The CSU, which was still the driving force behind the former mayor muller, is having a hard time keeping up with the pace. Strikingly inconspicuous are just the -FBW, not to mention the small and one-man groups. This was evident in the current budget debates.

The goal: not only to clear the reform and project backlog of the past, but also to advance future issues such as climate, inner city development, and local public transport with concrete proposals. And that immediately. This step on the gas pedal is understandable, since it’s mainly new people who have little patience, but also little experience with everyday local politics. read more
