At its meeting on monday afternoon, the habberge district council paid tribute to the memory of ex-county councilor emil daschner (SPD), who died last weekend at the age of 84. After the obituary of district administrator schneider (CSU), the district councilors rose from their seats in the meeting room of the district administration office in habfurt.
Emil daschner served 36 years as a county councilman. He was a member of the county's municipal parliament from 1978 to 2014.
Wilhelm schneider paid tribute to the deceased colleague, sometimes with personal words. He called daschner the "cornerstone of the district council".
The district administrator literally emphasized: "he was the open, straightforward, hard worker who didn't mince his words when it was necessary. He could be very emphatic when he saw injustice and lack of plan. With his determination and consistency, he sometimes did not make things easy for those around him. He could discuss very intensively. We all knew that he was driven by his convictions and never by his personal profile."
Wilhelm schneider also spoke the "sensitive side" from emil daschner on, when it came to the concerns of people.

Everything grunts and bleeds, the feeders for the garden birds have long been stored again for the next winter. But it’s high season in the local bird world. Almost all bird species have already bred and are busy finding food for their offspring. It’s just not that easy, which is why the landesbund fur vogelschutz (LBV) is calling for year-round bird feeding.
"In our gardens, ornamental plants and exotics often replace native plants, which are often considered weeds and are important sources of food for birds. The leaf lice and caterpillars are killed with the chemical club. The feeding station in the garden therefore replaces to a certain extent the lost diversity in the garden", helmut schmitt, chairman of the LBV district group forchheim, explains the call for year-round feeding.

For years, the

The nature conservation federation (BN) has not yet said a clear yes, but neither has it said a clear no to year-round feeding. The topic has been discussed there for years, but opinions vary. The corn feed is not good, because the birds now need protein feed, i.E. Worms and insects, explains friedrich oehme of the BN forchheim.
This is also the opinion of the LBV. But schmitt says: "especially during the breeding season, such feeding is particularly important, because it allows the parents to cover their own food requirements quickly and easily at the feeding site and to invest the time saved in the search for insects to feed the young."
A young bird in the nest has to be fed about every half hour. If this can not happen, then it can quickly become dangerous. The downside is that the feeding stations only target ten to fifteen bird species whose populations are stable. The solution would be simple, the LBV and BN agree. "The garden should be an insect garden", says oehme. The alliance for nature conservation is trying to get garden owners excited about the so-called blood spots. These bloom spots can just as well be blooming bushes or shrub borders. "Flowering plants and herbs. Who has a compost, can leave there also a few nettles", council oehme.
The LBV district group forchheim also advocates starting in one’s own garden, because the thuja hedge, the standard lawn and exotic shrubs hardly offer any food for insects. "These insects are in turn the food of many birds. The best is a natural garden with native shrubs that bear berries in autumn and old trees with hollows. A meadow of flowers will also make its contribution and attract many insects", emphasizes schmitt.
Even if people like flowers, the exotic ones are not productive if they don’t pollenize. Oehme cites simple traditional flowers such as the daisy or the daisy as examples of good, insect-attracting flowers.
"The traditional farm garden is the ideal", says oehme, but also advises not to completely eradicate the lowen teeth. These plants, if left in autumn, are of great use to the bird world even in winter, as the birds feed on the seeds that have then developed.
