These days in "Cube 600" on Fürther Strasse, on the forecourt of the Nuremberg Trials Memorial, the Exhibition "Right-Wing Terrorism. Conspiracy and Self-Empowerment - 1945 to the Present" to see. One will not leave her without a shocked shudder. Of course, the murderous activities of the NSU, the attack in Halle, the murder of Walter Lübcke, you all know it. But who could say anything more specific about the foiled SS assassination attempt on the Nuremberg trials? Or about the...
Unesco has included rafting in the list of intangible world cultural heritage. In Bavaria, earning a living, which involved a great deal of suffering and hardship, goes back more than a thousand years. Today rafting is primarily a leisure activity. source site
Transporting goods and raw materials over long distances was a real challenge in times without railways and automobiles. There was nothing left but to use the waterways, even if it was difficult and dangerous. In this way, rafting has had an intense impact on European economic history. The historian Alfred Wolfsteiner assumes that the rivers of the Upper Palatinate were probably used for rafting as early as around the year 1000. When Schwandorf was first mentioned in 1006, for example,...
The title of the application already shows how much and how many would have to be reconciled: The Garmisch-Partenkirchen district wants larger parts of its "Alpine and pre-Alpine meadows, pastures and moorland landscapes in the Ammergau, Staffelsee area and Werdenfelser Land". area under the protection of Unesco. All the moors, alpine pastures and humpback meadows are to become World Heritage sites - with a strong emphasis on culture. After all, most farmers in the Werdenfelser Land region don't need to...

Hall 600 is intended to make Nuremberg a World Heritage City, where Nazi criminals such as Hermann Göring were sentenced. How much can you change it? About a historical place and its place in the present.Of Olaf Przybilla, NurembergPresiding judges rarely give interviews, they feel obliged to exercise restraint.

World Heritage protectors often send out messages as contradictory as the enigmatic advice of those fortune-tellers who misled ancient Greek heroes. This starts with the anniversary event itself, which should have opened on Thursday under the Russian presidency, while Putin's army is striving to obliterate Ukrainian culture and its testimonies with...
The Franconian tongue has the term "Neigschmeggder" ready for newcomers, and according to local criteria one could certainly apply it to Michael Ehlers. He comes from the Lower Rhine, speaks more like Hanns Dieter Hüsch than Erwin Pelzig, has felt at home in Würzburg for decades, but not as a classic local. And so, he says, he always had a vague feeling of being unfamiliar at Residenzplatz. What superlatives have you already heard about this magnificent piece of a building,...

In the south, says a colleague. Under no circumstances outside of old Bavaria, says another. A third then urged caution.The matter is also clear for Baden-Württemberg's Cem Özdemir: "Bayern believe that their pretzel is the best and we know that ours is the best," he...
That could have resulted in an interesting meeting between the Bavarian Minister of Economics Hubert Aiwanger (free voters) and the most well-known Bavarian chef Alfons Schuhbeck, who will soon be the main character in spectacular white-collar criminal proceedings. The association "Bier und Wir" was to be presented in the Munich Kindl-Stuben of the TV chef on the Platzl. And above all his large-scale campaign to make the beer region of Bavaria an intangible UNESCO World Heritage Site. And the patron...
