TV Tipp: Löwenzahn auf Lanzarote

May 21, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Am kommenden Sonntag wird ZDF eine “Classic” Folge von der Kinderserie Löwenzahn  mit Peter Lustig wiederholen.

In der Folge aus dem Jahr 1987, genannt “Peter tanzt auf dem Vulkan”, will Herrn Lustigs  Nachbar Herr Pauschulke, gespielt von Helmut Krauss, erklären dass es, auch wenn es direkt unter der Erde in der Regel kälter ist, ist es tiefer sehr viel heißer.

Um dies zu beweisen, fahren sie nach Lanzarote und besuchen dort den Nationalpark Timanfaya.

Die beiden reiten dort auf einem Kamel und Herr Lustig darf sogar selbst Wasser in eines der Löcher im Park hineinkippen, um Herrn Pauschulke zu zeigen wie es wieder nach oben  spritzt.

Etwas über die Hälfte der Sendung wurde auf Lanzarote gedreht.  Die Ausstrahlung erfolgt im ZDF am 27. Mai 2012 um 8.35Uhr.

Travel Information for Frankfurt am Main for Saturday, 19th May

May 18, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Trams in FrankfurtThe travel information that was issued several days ago for Frankfurt am Main has proved not always to be effective.

On Thursday, one protest caused the station “Dom / Römer” to be closed, and today the protests have moved around the city causing various tram lines to close at one time or another.  The area around the main station (Hauptbahnhof) was also affected.

Since there is an approved march taking place in the city tomorrow, new travel information has been issued.

Between approximately 12 noon and 5pm the tram lines 11, 12, 16, 18 and 21 will be shortened even further as will bus route 36.

The stations “Willy-Brandt-Platz” and “Taunusanlage” on the U-Bahn and S-Bahn lines also remain closed.

Further stations may be closed on order of the police if deemed necessary.
