Volkswagen is heading for the future with its e-car offensive – but it will cost thousands of jobs. Up to 7,000 jobs could be lost at the emden and hanover sites when stromer production is ramped up.

However, this would only be possible if partial retirement arrangements were fully utilized, the german press agency learned from company sources.

The automotive industry is changing, and machine manufacturer SK hydroautomation is at the forefront of this change. The latest milestone in the company's history is a 15-meter assembly line for the production of joints for electric cars. These joints, known in the trade as cgfix joints, transmit power from the drive shafts to the wheels. This sounds simple, but it is not in the hard everyday life of a car. On one side of the joint, the engine power pulls, on the other side the wheel rattles on uneven road surfaces.

That's why care is needed during assembly to ensure a long service life. After all, a joint is made up of 13 parts, from the hub in the middle, to the balls, to the kafig that holds it together. It's amazing how the assembly line puts everything together to fit.

With vigils in all 16 federal states, cab drivers want to demonstrate against a planned new regulation for competitors such as the ride service provider uber.

They feared this would threaten the cab industry. The background to this is the liberalization of the driving services market planned by federal transport minister andreas scheuer (csu), which is intended to eliminate the so-called return obligation for rented cars with drivers, as the president of the federal association of cab and rented cars, michael muller, explained on friday. "The planned changes to the law on personal requirements would mean the end of the cab industry," says muller.

Josef hofbauer in hainbrunnenstrabe, on the site of the former BRK senior citizens’ home, unique funfeck houses are being built. The striking free-standing buildings, each with a living area of around 1600 square meters, are arranged on the 9111 square meter site in such a way that most of the apartments offer an unobstructed view between the houses. From the third floor, there will be a view of the city of forchheim as well.

Sales manager babette wagner from the developer BPD (bouwfonds property development) is particularly enthusiastic about the "hainbrunnenpark", in which the builders will be involved. "The property, located in a quiet residential area on the hills above the city, offers an old tree population and a stream, which we have preserved, says wagner. The area will be enhanced by new plantings, walkways and bridges.

Anyone who travels regularly on the B505 between hochstadt and bamberg knows exactly the few places where you can overtake trucks creeping along. If there is oncoming traffic here, it is necessary to be patient until one of the two three-lane sections is approaching. Now the third such section, which was planned years ago, is to be built. In addition, there is also a new connection point.

Above all the citizens in the area of centbechhofen/jungenhofen and herrnsdorf have long wanted direct access to the B 505. So far, they have to take long detours if they want to use the federal highway that passes in front of their towns.

At the golden wedding of annemarie and hans niegsch the house was full. And that was only logical, because the two are popular and well known in kasendorf, especially because of their many years of service to the SSV.

Annemarie niegsch was an indispensable force in the sportheimkuche and still helps out today. The spouse, currently groundsman, took over responsibility in the sports club as second and third chairman as well as head of the old leagues. The fact that the sports facility on the friesenbach looks so well-maintained is also partly thanks to him.
