From the Ausländerbeirat
February 6, 2014 By
The members of the Ausländerbeirat must be getting used to longer meetings, as the one they held on Monday, 20th January, 2014 went on until almost 8.30pm. That is according to my notes. The official minutes of the meeting are not yet available on the town’s website to verify this fact, and this may well have to do with one of the new rules that have come into effect for such committees this year.
Until now, the minutes of the meetings have been written by the independent town hall employees known as the “Büro der Gremien”. Since they are understaffed, it is now up to most of the town council’s sub-committees to nominate someone from their own ranks to write them instead.
The Ausländerbeirat nominated their only paid member – Thomas Eifert – to do the job, and he started mid-meeting, however they made it a condition that he receives additional paid time in order to write up the notes later. [Read more…]

For the past week, one of the main topics of discussion in Oberursel has centered around a small piece of land in the Eppsteiner Straße, hidden away behind houses 11 and 13.
The land, which has been owned by the town itself since the 1970s, was once home to a company that cleaned out barrels there. Whatever they did, it apparently resulted in the ground being contaminated with a cocktail of chemicals, collectively known as “lightly volatile halogenated hydrocarbons”, abbreviated in German as LHKWs.
This all lay undiscovered until 2002, when tests were being carried out in the area to find a new water supply. On finding contaminated water, the problem was traced back to the Eppsteiner Straße and this very same piece of land. [Read more…]
