Despite Corona, meetings of lateral thinkers, fear of blockade: Frankfurt OB calls for Christmas shopping – Frankfurt



[ad_1]

Frankfurt am Main – In most federal states, acute fear of the crown dominates what is likely to be the last purchase on the Saturday before Christmas close. Upside down world in Germany’s banking metropolis. The Mayor of Frankfurt, Peter Feldmann (62, SPD), attracts citizens once again to go shopping in the city! With the announcement: “On December 12 we are all children!”

Background: On Saturday, everyone in Frankfurt can use local public transport with a children’s ticket. That saves almost half the price.

Official shopping temptation despite the explosion of the crown! And there have been 14 demonstrations in Frankfurt for Saturday.

It is true that the courts confirmed the ban on the planned demonstration of the “lateral thinker” with 40,000 registered participants on Friday and Saturday. However, the city threatens a weekend of chaos (even without buyers): thousands of “side thinkers” have already agreed to meet on Telegram and Twitter.

OB has “devised something”

The Frankfurt OB declared its ticket idea in a press release as a good deed. To convey something to the customer at the end of the year, he came up with something: “With this offer, we allow passengers on the Saturday before the third Advent to travel cheaply with a children’s ticket in Frankfurt to do their Christmas shopping.”

Price example: A one-way trip in the city costs 1.55 euros instead of 2.75 euros on Saturday. The offer applies to short trips, individual tickets and day tickets.

Criticisms of Feldmann’s buyout call come from star Frankfurt virologist Sandra Ciesek (42), among others. The comments in his press release on Twitter: “Is it today April 1? ???”

14 demos registered

Police wait for several protesters in the urban area. Road closures and traffic obstructions can always occur. There should be demonstrations of opponents of the anti-crown measures in Paulsplatz, Hauptwache and Opernplatz, among other places.

Additionally, there will probably be meetings at Westendplatz, Karlsplatz, Wiesenhüttenplatz, Rothschildpark, Taunusanlage, Friedrich-Stoltze-Platz and Jürgen-Ponto-Platz. Also, lateral thinkers want to “walk” in the center of the city.

Crown record in Hesse

Meanwhile, there are more new corona infections in Hessen than ever! More recently, it was 3,116 in 24 hours, a record value. 1,716 deaths have been reported since the pandemic began.

The city of Offenbach remains the hotspot for the crown: the 7-day incidence there increased to 244.9. Follow: Main-Kinzig District (244.2), Wetterau (235.8), Offenbach District (232.4). In the districts of Odenwald, Fulda, Groß-Gerau, Gießen, Rheingau-Taunus the incidences are higher than 200, in Frankfurt 151.2.

Since Saturday, people in the city and district of Offenbach and in the district of Limburg-Weilburg can no longer walk out the door between 9pm and 5am without good reason. Exceptions: go to work, go for a walk, visit the doctor.

In the districts of Groß-Gerau and Main-Kinzig, exit restrictions were in effect from Friday evening. In the Gießen district, the curfew takes effect on Sunday night (midnight).

  • Water cannons on the Zeil

    Saturday morning was initially quiet in Frankfurt. A water cannon was placed on the Zeil trade mile (near Hauptwache). A police spokesman: “We are very well prepared with a flexible deployment concept to be able to react to all eventualities.” Emergency forces took positions in various locations, and two water cannons were visible at the main station.
