The Church Meeting Point “Aktiv im Norden”, also known the “Kirchenladen”, which is run by the protestant Church parish of the “Heilig-Geist Kirche”, first opened its doors 7 years ago with the aim to bring the people at the northern end of the town together and promote communication amongst them.
Each week from Monday to Friday the rooms are open between 2pm and 7pm, offering a free lending library, coffee and cakes, with other activities taking place on some evenings and at the weekend.
But although Pastor Cornelia Synek is happy with this “beginning” as she sees it, with the number of people at this end of the town increasing it is important that the meeting point does more. [Read more…]
The subject of the new sports hall for Frankfurt International School is one that has been on the local political agenda for several years, with the main problem being exactly where to build it.
However last Saturday (30th August, 2014) surely put an end those discussions when the “Ground-breaking ceremony” took place, known in German as the “Spatenstich”, now that the school is building inside their own grounds.
The guests, except maybe for the new arrivals, could see a difference to the grounds as soon as they entered them. Over the summer holidays, the old sports hall had been torn down. In its place, next to where the Worldfest is held, is now a fenced off area containing the land where the building once stood.
Detectives in Bad Homburg are trying to trace a man who was seen completely naked around 5.35pm on Sunday, 27th July, 2014, in the area at the end of the Freiligrathstraße. Apparently, the same man was also spotted in the area at the beginning of May.
He is described as around 40 years old, 1.80m tall, with a very light skin colour and well built with a muscular stomach. It is suspected that he had a bicycle with him that had saddlebags on it. Anyone who can shed some light on the matter is asked to call Bad Homburg police on 06172 1200.
