Toy Bazaar in Oberstedten
November 4, 2013 By
A “toy bazaar” is being held at the Taunushalle in Oberstedten on Sunday, 10th November, 2013.
Organised by the Aktion Kinderparadies e.V., it will be open from 10am until noon and the items sold will be toys, books, multimedia and toy vehicles suitable for children up to 12 years old.
What makes this bazaar slightly different, is that it is “sortiert”, ie. the vendors do not have a table each, but instead the toys are sorted by type, making it easier to find something without having to visit every table!
The organisation receives 15% of the proceeds.
To find the Taunushalle, set your navigation equipment to “Landweg 6″ in Oberursel.
The nearest bus stop is “Landwehr” on route 41.

Oberursel’s No-Win Financial Situation
November 4, 2013 By
It can’t be easy being in charge of Oberursel’s finances. After two rounds of spending cuts and tax increases, the town’s budget could budget could be in the black to the tune of around €4.5 million after a sudden windfall of corporate income tax (Gewerbesteuer) and further cuts in the culture department.
That is, it would be if the next higher level of government – the Kreis – had not increased the amount that the town has to pay for their services, including the school, by almost €11 million for the coming year, leaving with the town with a deficit in 2014 of just over €6 million.
So once again the town called a meeting of its residents to discuss the next round of savings, holding it this year in the Burgwiesenhalle in Bommersheim. The hall may not have been full – around 160 people turned up – but there were a significant number of children and teenagers present to protest against the planned cuts in funding for the “Jugendtreffs” in Weißkirchen and Stierstadt.

No budget, no hurry, no say?
November 2, 2013 By
Monday this week (28th October, 2013) saw the 12th so-called “Stadtgespräch” to discuss the re-development of the area around the station in Oberursel and the joining up of the Nassauer Straße and the Weingärtenumgehung – the main road in from Bad Homburg in the North to the by-pass in the South.
It was not the most well visited of gatherings. In fact, considering the amount of press coverage that it had had advance and the number of local residents affected by the plans, one might almost ask where they all were. Including the organisers, there were only 13 people attending! [Read more…]
