The german school championships in canoe slalom took place in the city triangle nurnberg-furth-oberasbach on the popular track under the fernabbrucke. The two canoe slalom talents of the bamberger faltboot-club (BFC), sonja neubauer and johann hein, took advantage of the whitsun vacations and traveled early to the event. So they could train intensively once again and get used to the conditions on the rednitz.
The two national junior coaches designed a challenging course with 18 gates. Six of them had to be run against the direction of the flow, a combination of four gates initially caused heated discussions among the coaches: is the course too difficult or is it appropriate for a german championship?? A small correction calmed down the tempers, and so the racers could start.
In high-level competitions, athletes are not allowed to paddle the competition course beforehand. They had to determine their ideal line on the basis of the pre-runs by canoeists not taking part in the competition, video analyses and course discussions.
On the first day of the race, the A-school kayakers started early. In the strongest starting field with more than 50 participants johann hein from the BFC went on the track. He did not always hit the ideal line and touched three goalposts, which earned him six penalty seconds. Thanks to a very good running time he could still hope to reach the semifinals.
In the second run hein wanted to attack again, but didn’t catch a gate right away and had to do an auxiliary loop. The driving time was clearly longer. Relief spread when it was clear that hein would finish as 34th. The semifinals were reached.

Many of the goal combinations that the BFC canoeists had practiced on site during the many training sessions could be found again in this line. So both bambergers went to the start highly motivated and well prepared. On the second day of the championship, the "do or die" principle was applied there is only one round, which immediately decides about the qualification for the final.
Sonja neubauer convinced in the semifinal with a very good line and a fast time. With only one goal mistake the qualification for the final with the second place was secure.
Coach christof pfannenmuller had prepared johann hein very well for the course. The young canoeist from bamberg managed a convincing run and moved up from 34th to 16th place. Place before.

Despite the very good performance it was not enough for the final, where the best ten slalom canoeists made it to.

The grammar school teacher from kulmbach reported that the forced laborers' work in agriculture was somewhat profitable, but that their work in industry was often characterized by unscrupulous exploitation.

Today, the woman is almost 85 years old, but she remembers her time as a forced laborer as if it had been yesterday. Her name is olga witischenko, and today she lives in a small dacha near cherkassy in ukraine.

The remaining weeping willow next to the school pond is facing a sad end: after a willow was cut down there last year for safety reasons, the remaining tree has now also become a safety risk, said mayor thomas kneipp (CSU) at the youngest municipal council meeting.
The choice was between renovating the damaged tree, which the lichtenfels district council considered to be well worth preserving.
However, the council decided to drop the tree, which had already been rehabilitated once in 2007, and to invest the cost of rehabilitation (about 750 to 1000 euros) in the planting of two new trees instead.

A rude woman has died. Eugenie stelzner, born in 1924, died on 23 june 2009. January at the clinic. She was an outstanding person who influenced many people as a teacher in lichtenfels and altenkunstadt and as an honorary member of the women's federation. With her infectious temperament and never-ending commitment, she has made a difference in her hometown. But not only here: as a long-time chairwoman of the catholic german women's association, branch association lichtenfels, she was also active for many years on the diozesan board in bamberg. In this capacity, she was a state and national delegate. Throughout the federal republic of germany, there are women who know eugenie stelzner and associate her with happiness, wit, intelligence and a strong commitment to emancipation.
Eugenie stelzner led the lichtenfels branch association from 1986 to 1998 and pragmatized it with her strong personality during these twelve years. She always had the goals of the association in mind and strove to enable women to play an active role in the church, society and politics. She was guided by the guidelines and educational offers of the women's association at diozesan and state level. During the same period, she was also a member of the parish council and the church administration.

Women's movement in the church
Bringing the women's movement into the church was one of the declared goals of this leader, in the spirit of the founders of the KDFB (1903). Her contemplation of a picture of pentecost, where mary could be seen in the midst of the apostles, says everything about her commitment to gender justice: "that's where we belong too, in the midst of the apostles. Not above, but not below either!"
The subject of women's education work, both socially and ecclesiastically, was very important to her, and she never ran out of ideas and suggestions for the educational program of the frauenbund. Choosing women's issues, approaching them from a feminist point of view, and awakening in other women a sensitivity to this feminist approach was close to her heart. "I am a feminist and an emancipated woman. And I am proud!" This is what she said about herself.
Until the end of her life she continued her education, both within and outside the catholic women's association. She was characterized by an insatiable hunger for more in the socio-political and religious spheres. She looked beyond her own church tower. For many years she was involved in ecumenical work, especially in the ecumenical initiative of catholic and protestant women from lichtenfels and schney, which has been running continuously since 1991 (1. Ocumenical church day in lichtenfels) met to prepare ecumenical women's events. With ever new energy she prepared e.g. The ecumenical may devotions at the moritzkappl with before, which were particularly important to her from the women's point of view: to rediscover mary, the coarse woman of christianity, together and thus to make her an ecumenical integration figure for the women of lichtenfels instead of a barrier between the denominations.
The work for the women's world day of prayer was a real affair of the heart for her. As a well-traveled woman, she knew how to introduce the participants to the respective world day of prayer country each year with great enthusiasm. The new forms of a typically feminine spirituality, which go hand in hand with this work, were a challenge for her, which she took up again and again. Sharing what filled her heart, what did her good, with other women, that was what filled eugenie stelzner's life, what made her happy.
