Olaf Przybilla, Nuremberg/Munich
In 2018, Eva Kraus was director of the New Museum in Nuremberg, a state-owned building in Bavarian hands. At that time, she publicly refused to implement the “cross decree” devised by Markus Söder. It stipulated that a cross should be hung in all government offices, and consequently also in the museum. The decree was controversial and still is.

Oberschleißheim – start of the folk festival season – district of Munich
In the dress rehearsal it worked out really well. Mayor Markus Böck (CSU) tapped a keg of Remonte-Bräu with four hits at the May Festival on Oberschleißheim’s Bürgerplatz. Of these, “two shots to be on the safe side,” as he says. And because the new Maypole was a beautiful place to celebrate, people believe they have set the necessary positive omens for the big event that is coming up this Wednesday, May 25: the Schleißheim folk festival. It is the

In the past, when she herself was still living in the Middle East, she always said: One day I will become President of Afghanistan. Today she still has the urge to make a difference. “Co-decided, participate,”

Top Management: Firms Ignoring Women Are Harming Themselves – Economy
You emphasize the value of the family, but in the large German family businesses, it is above all men who rule. That has to change, not only, but also for economic reasons.

Elizabeth Dostert
It will take 58 years until there is parity in the 100 largest German family businesses, i.e. there are as many women as men on the executive boards and management boards. At least if they keep up the pace of the past two years.

Why are publishers giving away their content to Google and Facebook? – Culture
The first big mistake made by publishers was putting texts online for free. If professional journalism is to survive, they must avoid a second.
Not everything was better in the past, not even really different. For example, did the good old days really exist, when unlimited pluralism and media diversity existed? Freedom of the press, found the founding publisher of the 1965 Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Paul Sethe, is “the freedom of two hundred rich people to spread their opinions”.
Monkeypox infections in twelve countries – Health
In view of this unusual series of outbreaks, experts are at least certain of one thing: monkeypox cannot be compared to Covid-19, and a pandemic with millions of sufferers is not to be expected. The virus does not spread quickly and effectively enough for this. But compared to what has been observed over the past decades, the current development is very unusual. Since 1970, monkeypox has been recorded in a total of twelve countries in West and Central Africa. Suddenly,

Residential complex in Schwabing receives architect award – Munich
The news about the residential complex at Genter Straße 13 and other houses is not very positive for residents, officials and politicians. For two and a half years, groundwater has been pushing upwards and flooding underground car parks and basements. It has not yet been conclusively clarified what the causes are and who has to pay for the repair of the damage. In the case of Genter Strasse, monument protection also plays a role, as does a great honor that
