Cultivating tradition is once again on the back burner

Due to the corona pandemic, stockheim's popular miners' tradition is once again on a dip. Miners' christmas, christmas market, barbara celebrations with a layer of meat and the miners' band's christmas concert fall victim to covid-19. Especially the rough mountain parade used to attract a lot of guests. Only on saturday, 4. December, takes place at 5 pm in the house of god st. Wolfgang with pastor hans-michael dinkel a service for the deceased miners takes place. The singers of the folkstrachtenverein "zechgemeinschaft" neukenroth will provide the vocal accompaniment. The obligation to wear a mask still applies.

Chairman heiko eisenbeib regrets the standstill. Finally one had acquired uniforms for new active members in the past year, which were privately financed. In this respect, the miners' association of stockheim and the surrounding area is well positioned, eisenbeib emphasized.

Although the last coal mine "st. The "katharina" mine was closed forever in 1968, the mining heritage in the community of stockheim and also in the district of kronach is still considered to be of great importance. The local coal mines in stockheim, reitsch and in the neighboring neuhaus have had a decisive influence on the region and have contributed significantly to its industrial development. From 1935 to 1968, about 1500 miners worked in the stockheim mine. In the meantime, the ruhr region, with its 173 mines, has also reached the end of the line.

For the past twelve years, the people of stockheim have maintained intensive contacts with the former miners in recklinghausen. They have actively supported the museum facility in stockheim with donations.

Rough hope one sets on the development of the rentei (administration building) of 1847. A special attraction is the mining geological trail, which commemorates coal mining in the 18th century. And 19. The project was realized by the forderverein bergbaugeschichte (mining history association) in conjunction with the frankenwald nature park. Another attraction is the coal geotope, which offers a glimpse into 290 million years of the earth's history. After all: the rock of the year 2018 in bavaria is the local coal geotope.

Gumdrops, pinwheels, flower seeds. The local elections in bamberg are in full swing and the parties are not only advertising their political content. The bamberger was able to get a lot of freebies at the election booths, especially on the weekend. What original gifts do the parties want to entice the citizens with this year?? We have asked the parties and received feedback from most of them. The following is an overview with not entirely serious opinions.

CSU gives away pencils

The CSU has made an effort to run a plastic-free election campaign as far as possible. In addition to brown, logo-free paper bags that the wahler can use for shopping, she also distributes gum bars, fortune cookies or tea bags. In addition, pencils are also brought among the people. Why no pens like other parties also, the question arises there. For the ballot paper the pencil is rather less suitable, or? In the end, the voter comes up with the idea of erasing the cross from the CSU list.

Offer tangerines

The free voters have focused on their political content. But the voter can still pocket one small thing: a tangerine! "Delicious", thinks the health-conscious burger. On the way home, this one is sure to be eaten quickly. "Oh, who was the tangerine from again?? Not important, it tasted good in any case."

The greens distribute seeds

Naturally, the greens make sure that the articles they distribute are as environmentally friendly as possible. In addition to a coloring picture for the little ones, which is supposed to show a green bamberg, the party also distributes pinwheels and beer mats with the inscription "green bamberg – not only for cyclists".

With their flower seeds, the greens live up to their name and lure potential voters to their stands. "Bamberg begrunen", it says on the packages. If that is not to be understood ambiguously.

SPD distributes wooden yo-yo

The SPD has been careful to use ecologically sound products in its election campaign. Besides gifts like seed bags, cardboard pens, or the reusable "jusos-a classic yo-yo is used for the shopping bag. A toy against boredom and for short pastime. Which intention pursues the SPD with it? Is it to prevent the adherents on election sunday from falling asleep before the announcement of the results, because everything seems to be clear in the matter of the election of the mayor anyway?? Or is the statement: with the SPD it goes constantly up and down and up and down again?

FDP stands out

Practical and bright yellow it must be with the FDP. And there should be something for everyone. So there is for the male bamberger a beer lid – unfortunately without message (tip for the next time, how would it be with: "no matter whether beer or FDP – it may be calmly more than 5 percent"). The women were given a plastic chip for the shopping cart with the slogan "let’s think again". Plastic-free is what counts martin pohner and co. Also not included in the goodies for the children: balloons. Hopefully, after a long election campaign, the liberals don’t want to signal that we’ve run out of steam!

Boy lures with purple clip

Actually this paragraph had to be printed in purple. The OB-candidate daniela reinfelder was certainly impressed by this. She seems to spare no expense or effort when it comes to her promotional items. In addition to matchboxes and cough sweets, they are handing out pens, stickers, postcards and, finally, washclips. On the bracket you can see everything: purple, the famous purple hat, more purple. As a voter, you can quickly lose sight of the actual content.

Handkerchiefs from the BA

The bamberger allianz plays the bachelor and gives away orange roses. There are also handkerchiefs. For environmental reasons, the BA wanted to do without toots or ballpoint pens. On the handkerchiefs no slogan is to be seen, no candidate pictures. Only the party name in rough letters. But honestly: handkerchiefs? Of course, these are taken just as well as pens. Especially at this time of year.

And if the alliance does not achieve its desired result on election sunday, the supporters can at least wipe the tears from their faces. And who knows? Perhaps it is in the end even joy trains.

Odp focuses on content

The odp doesn’t believe in rubber bars or pens. With her the content is in the foreground. You would not believe it, it should be exclusively about the content? Yes, you have read correctly. A problem could arise there however. Without an odp ballpoint pen, voters wouldn’t know how to put their crosses in the right place on sunday!

In fact, it is also a question of completing a certain distance. But not for nothing a new word was introduced for this actual sport. It is mainly about artful, smooth movements when overcoming obstacles. Originally, natural obstacles were meant here, as well as the art of moving through a natural landscape, which is called methode naturelle. David belle, the founder of parkouring, learned this playful and easy way of moving from his father and transferred the model to the urban environment of the parisian suburb of lisses, which was dominated by steel and concrete buildings, at the end of the 1980s.

Children’s playground grobstadt

The chases of the children went over paper baskets, ping pong tables and small streams and when the children became teenagers, more difficult obstacles such as walls, fences or even building stumps were increasingly included. Later also building facades and skyscrapers: le parkour was born. Today, there are various initiatives around the world that are based on this movement and are organized in different ways. Competitions are held, but the founder david belle distanced himself from the parkour worldwide association already in 2006, mainly because the idea of competition does not correspond to the original sport with its philosophical foundations. A little bit you can compare parkour with acrobatics. The acrobat, however, wants to impress his audience with a show, the traceur, as the athlete of parkour is called, should move smoothly and as fast as possible from a starting point A to a self-selected target B, while he has to overcome certain obstacles, which he must not change. However, he does not do it to impress others, which of course happens quickly when someone really elegantly flies over a two-meter-high board fence… Spectacular film and television reports have made the sport known, but ultimately contradict the philosophy that here a sport is practiced for its own sake and with the goal of doing something for oneself and one’s health.

It’s all in the technique

As with any other sport, there are training sessions that can be done in a club and a gym. The training starts with the arm phase, then comes the main part, which is composed, for example, of technical, strength and endurance training, and a rest phase at the end. The aim is to perfect and automate certain movements. For this, some traceurs develop their own technique, but some basic rules do exist. Hard physical training should not exclude the fun of the movement. It’s not about doing the riskiest maneuvers possible, but on the contrary: the requirements should be increased slowly enough to minimize the risk of injury. The tracer should decide for himself what he is (already) able to do and for which obstacle he would like to optimize the movement, because it can easily lead to life-threatening injuries. An important sentence is therefore: "parkour is only as dangerous as you make it for yourself"."The well-being of the body, as well as mental and physical fitness, is given great attention. In some places, sport has already more or less moved away from this philosophy. It is also about media attention, the admiration of others or the staging of competitions: faster, further, higher. However, there is a strong movement that places great value on the philosophy behind the sport. And for this it does not need any competition. To animate urban space in anonymous cities, to move in it respectfully, artistically and with spirit and to show the same respect to one’s fellow men, that is the real concern of the traceure.
