Session leader and second mayor karl-heinz hertlein (CSU) praised the achievements of the committed and popular local politician. Sub has been very involved in local politics from the very beginning.

A talking rabbit, a wise cheshire cat and a clever caterpillar accompany alice on her journey through wonderland. Fresh, cheeky and fantastic, the talented lower school theater of the caspar-vischer-gymnasium put the theater material into practice in two performances.

The curtain in the school's well-filled forum is still closed, and alice can be seen sitting at a desk and sleeping. "I am not supposed to daydream in class!" She has to write 100 times as a punishment, but she finds it much more interesting to run after a female rabbit with a clock, who can also speak. She falls down the rabbit hole to the center of the earth. Alice, played by julina kohnlein and deborah kemnitzer, doesn't know where she is "perhaps on the other side of the world, where people walk on their heads?".

Many people come to the staffelberg, but few are aware that there was once a rude celtic settlement here. It is a great wish of the district to make the life of the celts traceable and tangible for the people. A reconstruction of the celtic zangentor, which was discovered during excavations last year, is intended to achieve this goal. On a settlement area of 49 hectares, this gate is "the largest and most important access gate to the main valley" said andreas buttner from the state office for the preservation of historical monuments.

Before the reconstruction can take place, knowledge about it must be gained through archaeological excavations. Last week, lead archaeologist markus schubmann and his team had already begun the work. The official kick-off took place on friday, together with district administrator christian meibner (CSU), second mayor hans josef stich (CSU) and other participants. Excavations are scheduled to be completed by october, with construction of the reconstruction planned for 2019. That it would come to this, they all did not think of a year ago.
