Local stollen on display

Stefan likes the marzipan stollen best, so he gets a few more pieces right away. His mother, elke lanzerath, is enthusiastic about the stollen with cranberries and chocolate icing and gerhard dalke rather agrees with stefan. "The marzipan stollen is juicy as it is. But actually they all taste very good." On prepared slips of paper, the tasters who have come to the tageblatt office for the public stollen test give their verdict.

Manfred stiefel from the institute for quality assurance of bakery products examines the christmas treats from a professional point of view. "Five bakers from the city and the district voluntarily take part in this quality assessment", he explains. His criteria are strict. Manfred stiefel first takes a look at the beautiful appearance of the stollen. He judges the surface and crust properties, how loose the baked product is, how the crumbs look, the structure and the elasticity – all things that the layman can only perceive to a limited extent. For the stollenprufer of the strabe are above all taste and possibly still the smell decisive. "But these are also the decisive criteria for me", says the expert.

Martin standner: blob not banned from training again!

Martin standner feared it. From monday, 2. November, he will have to stop training again with his track and field athletes from the TSV stadtsteinach/UAC kulmbach training association. In his premonition, the throwing coach has already written to district administrator klaus peter sollner and kulmbach’s oberburgermeister ingo lehmann. In the letter, standner asks the local politicians for an exemption in the event of a training ban, which then chancellor angela merkel actually announced on wednesday.

Martin standner looks after a number of top athletes, including the 18-year-old hammer thrower merlin hummel, one of germany’s most talented track and field athletes. "Another training ban like the one we had for eight weeks in the spring – while the FC bayern munich soccer players were of course allowed to continue training – cannot be imposed on an 18-year-old top athlete," says standner, says standner. In addition, he could not understand for whom there was a risk of infection when he trained with a hammer thrower at a remote throwing facility such as the one in stadtsteinacher au.

A life straight out of a history book

Olga knieb, nee stadel, from marktbreit celebrated on 9. November their 85. Birthday. Your life so far is like reading a history book.

More than just an inn

With maria not many words were needed: pointed at the handprint, then two fingers in the air: that meant, I want two dark ursberg monastery beers. Had it to be a light beer, I had pointed to the palm of the hand. Bright. Maria knew the score. That's how it was, in the beer garden in maria bildhausen. And now it should be no more, the monastery inn closes.

News was a shock
On saturday this headline was a shock not only for me, but for many, many people in the region. The announced closing does not fit at all into our image of the inn and our experience. There was always something going on here. Hikers have stopped here, many have come on day trips and also stayed over night. Maria bildhausen in the forest of the same name is a central point of contact.

Bgh: rules for advertising with scientific studies

This must be recognizable in the advertising, ruled the federal supreme court on wednesday in karlsruhe (I ZR 62/11). The court partially ruled in favor of the pharmaceutical company sanofi-aventis, which had taken action against its competitor novo nordisk pharma gmbh for misleading advertising of insulin for the treatment of diabetes.

The defendant company had pointed out in its advertisements that its "insulindetermir" was less fattening than the "insulinlargin" of the plaintiff’s competitors. In a footnote, it had referred to a study that was supposed to prove precisely this effect. According to the BGH, however, the study itself calls into question some of its results and therefore has only limited scientific significance. "Such clarifying references are not contained in the objectionable advertisement, although the study referred to gave rise to them," the supreme court justices ruled. In doing so, the remedy manufacturer had violated the basic principle of quote truth.
