Grune does not want a shopping center at etwashauser station

The kitzinger grunen are in favor of an urban redevelopment of the railroad station land in sthashausen, using the ecological potential of the flat area. The chairwoman of the city council faction andrea schmidt would like to see citizen participation before a development plan procedure is initiated. This is what the party writes in a press release.

The greens argue: "instead of further massive building and flat sealing, the land should be used in the form of a green corridor with recreational areas. A reforestation or green area would be a great gain in the quality of stay for the residential area of sthashausen. Especially in midsummer temperatures, trees provide a noticeable cooling effect."

300 New employees on site

300 New employees on site

Baur was able to increase the number of employees in upper franconia once again last year. 4,300 people now work for the company, which includes twelve companies and brands. This is 300 more than in 2010, the year in which remarkable growth was achieved. At that time, baur grew from 3200 to 4000 employees in the region. A total of 4600 employees are now working for baur worldwide.
"This year, our main task is to defend the ground we have gained and to prepare ourselves strategically for the coming years. We’re doing pretty well at the moment, too", said chairman of the board marc opelt.
The major issues of the past year, such as the euro crisis and the boom in china, had had comparatively little impact on the company’s business. Until august, the business climate in the retail sector had been quite good. After that, things had cooled off, also due to the capricious weather conditions. Growth only took place on the internet, with double-digit growth again in the christmas business.
In contrast to other competitors, the company has been able to hold its own on the market. In fiscal year 2010/11, baur generated sales of 609 million euros. This year, opelt expects a result at a similar level. "Our business year ends only at the end of february."
Opelt also addressed the future of baur-kauelt in altenkunstadt. At present, "very different options for action" are being considered, to prevent a further outflow of earnings. A decision on this will be made by the middle of the year. In 2011, altenkunstadt had consistently focused on the women’s clothing sector.
Hans-otto schrader, chairman of the executive board of the otto group, only briefly touched on the group’s economic performance in his speech "we achieved double-digit growth last year. The current business year will be much more difficult." This was also due to the many turbulences that occurred in 2011. "We have to be prepared for these turbulences. They also arise from the extreme complexity of our interconnected world."
The guest speaker was the bavarian minister of economic affairs, martin zeil (FDP), who referred to the good economic conditions in the state and emphasized the low unemployment rate of four percent in upper franconia. "With 4.8 million employees, we have more people on social security than ever before in bavaria." The situation in industry and the skilled trades, with well-filled order books, gives hope that 2012 will be similar to 2011 despite more difficult conditions, also in the region. "Baur is a company that sets standards with its outstanding business development."
The bamberger mozartsolisten under the direction of harald strauss-orlovsky provided the musical backdrop.

Police warn again of rat poison in heroldsbach

A few weeks ago, the forchheim police department had already warned that rat poison, which is no longer commercially available due to its highly toxic properties, was being laid out in the birkenweg area of heroldsbach.

This particular type of dioxin has, among other things, an active ingredient that leads not only to primary poisoning in the pests or other animals, but also to the death of the pigs. It is also a danger for birds of prey or similar animals that eat the dead or poisoned pests. There is still a danger – as is currently the case – that cats or dogs will ingest this active ingredient in the poison bags, carry it away and deposit it elsewhere in the vicinity of a playground or in private gardens where children are playing.
