The rescue of a patient from a dormer with the drag basket stretcher was practiced but also the first aid knowledge was refreshed. Finally, the firefighters learned how to rescue a person from a pit or a shaft using a tripod.

Special situations

The main topic of the additional training was not only an intensification of the knowledge already acquired during the fire department training.

The tragedy of the pastor d. From nurnberg

The terraced house in nurnberg-langwasser is almost empty. In the living room a dining table, some chairs, in a corner a television on the floor. No picture on the wall, no carpet, no other furniture – nothing. A sterile, uncomfortable atmosphere. For almost a year, pastor peter ditterich has lived here, together with his housekeeper susana czeizel and oskar mellinger. He had previously lived in the same house as ditterich, on jakobsplatz in nurnberg’s center, within sight of the parish church st. Elisabeth.

But: the move to the south of nurnberg had become unavoidable. Because the old apartment had become uninhabitable due to aggressive mold infestation. In 2008, the mold had appeared for the first time. And thus a dispute broke out over the renovation of the apartment occupied by ditterich. In the clergyman’s opinion, the church foundation reacted too slowly to the rapidly spreading infestation, and ditterich called in the bishopric administration in bamberg. The first renovation measures were taken, but in the opinion of the priest and his housekeeper, they were insufficient.

Tenant licenses for migrants

Tenant licenses for migrants

The faces of the 14 migrants who received the so-called "tenant driver’s license" in the meeting room of the town hall in burgkunstadt were beaming ou received the following. They successfully participated in a four-evening training course that familiarized them with proper behavior as apartment tenants. The course content was.B. Gauze separation, rest periods, proper heating and airing, and fire protection. With the "tenant driver’s license" acquired in this way refugees should be able to prove their suitability as reliable and serious tenants to potential landlords in the future. Living in their own apartment, the mostly young people who are all housed in the weismain, altenkunstadt and burgkunstadt area know, is better than living in a communal shelter. In order to improve their situation, karin pfeiffer, integration counselor at the district administration office, started the tenant qualification project together with volunteers. Half of the participants are already recognized asylum seekers and some of them already have a job. Still, finding private housing is a challenge. Many recognized asylum seekers, even though they are allowed to move out, must continue to live in cramped shared housing because they cannot find a rental apartment in the district, says the head of social services at the district office, ralf luger. Such courses are therefore a bit of help for self-help. They are also required by the bavarian ministry of the interior. But it also depends on the volunteers who accompany people on their new journey. Such are angelika geyer and nicole hartfil. For both, there was a flower robbery. German language, tenant’s driver’s license, a job of their own and then an apartment – successes are coming, explains angelika geyer. Thanks to the protestant parish in burgkunstadt, which provided the space for the course in the cafe dialog.

35 participants completed the training program consisting of several modules in 2018 and spring 2019 and received their tenant driver’s license.

project in neustadt: 'refugee...that's me

The focus is actually on the faces of young people who have found a new home in the region. But behind the faces there are also fates, experiences, feelings and emotions. "Refugee…That"s me
(refugee, that’s me) is written on the postcards that are now being distributed in the region.
The cards feature the portraits of seven young people living in the coburg region. The special thing about the cards is the story behind a so-called "CP-clicker app" hides. The user can download the app onto a smartphone, take a picture of the portrait and then find himself in a menu that visualizes the story behind the face in a video clip.
The coburg education region had the idea of initiating an integration project. The arnold gymnasium in neustadt was found as a partner, which developed and implemented the content of the individual films in ethics lessons in collaboration with an integration class from the vocational school.
The result are short informative film clips that not only tell the stories of the seven protagonists in a very personal way, but also take a look at the cultural differences with a smile on their faces. The aim of this project is to use the films produced by nectv to raise awareness of the immigrants’ environment and to get a picture of refugees and their stories.
Tanja altrichter (coordination center for civic engagement in the district office) loves to know that the project was requested by the bavarian ministry of social affairs with a total of 7000 euro.
Jochen dotterweich told us that the number of postcards will initially be 250 per motif. According to his words, these are to be distributed to burgerburos and communities. "It was an exciting and educational project for me and the schools involved", emphasized the deputy principal.
District administrator michael busch (SPD) spoke of a grandiose idea. "We need more stories that can be experienced and understood and less generalization", emphasized bush. For him, there is far too much generalization.
Coburg’s mayor norbert tessmer(SPD) emphasized that crises always develop when opportunities are not seized. For him it is certain,
that the initiators of the project "refugee…That’s me" are on the right track.
The principal of the arnold gymnasium, ursula kick-bernklau, was proud that a "great project" had been started at the neustadt high school has arisen.
