People have less money in their pockets because of inflation. On the Grüneburgweg, traders are standing in red. And the long-standing FAZ photographer Barbara Klemm is exhibiting on the Westend campus. The main watch with the topics of the day.
Good evening,
when the euro was introduced two decades ago, There was a discrepancy between what the statisticians calculated and what the audience thought they were experiencing: the statistics showed no particular inflation, but the general opinion was that everything had become significantly more expensive. The concept of “perceived inflation” was born. So it’s nice when statistics confirm what you think as a simple citizen: wages are currently not keeping up with price increases. According to the Hesse State Statistical Office, real wages fell by an average of 3.5 percent over the course of 2022. Although salaries have nominally increased by around three percent. But with inflation more than twice as high at 6.8 percent, workers can afford less with higher wages.
Well, you have to get used to the new, expensive world. For example, you can save by visiting an exhibition at the Goethe University in Frankfurt free of charge, in which pictures by the long-standing FAZ photographer Barbara Klemm to be shown. On the first floor of the PEG building on the Westend campus are photos of Klemm’s trips around the world, including one to Cuba in 1969. In total, the university has already purchased 76 photos by Barbara Klemm.
The regulatory density of Cuban socialism There are of course not many in the Federal Republic, but in this country the generally well-meaning bureaucracy hinders many a good idea. Günter Murr has dealt with the question of what has actually become of the completely understandable political goal of creating living space by adding stories to existing buildings, provided that this is structurally correct. Often, as it turns out, it is so-called milieu protection statutes that prevent this kind of thing. It’s no wonder that the colleague’s comment is headed “Away with environmental protection”.
And also Daniel Schleidt and the photographer Michael Braunschädel asked and looked around at the striking truck drivers at the Gräfenhausen rest area, who have now concluded an agreement with their employer +++ Petra Kirchhoff spoke to the retailers on Grüneburgweg in Frankfurt, who are complaining about the traffic calming +++ the day is approaching when Hanau leaves the Main-Kinzig district, important decisions have been made for this.
I wish you a pleasant evening
Yours, Manfred Koehler

The tip for the weekend
The “Rheingauer Schlemmerwochen” ring in the wine spring between Lorch and Wicker. Around 100 winegrowers open their courtyards, gardens and terraces for ten days and usually present the first wines of the new vintage. It is particularly advisable to visit those winegrowers who do not otherwise run a tavern or ostrich business during the year – for example the Jung winery in Erbach, which serves wines and small delicacies in its wine press hall.
