February 1636 in gera. During his lifetime, the prince had compiled a collection of biblical passages and hymn verses that schutz was to set to music for the funeral.

My life was saved by music," coco schumann has said time and again. He meant it literally. Schumann survived persecution, two concentration camps and a "death march.

The self-taught musician, who performed in berlin basements and dance halls under the eyes of the nazis and played in theresienstadt and auschwitz on orders from concentration camp guards, died sunday in berlin at 93, his record company trikont announced monday, citing schumann’s family.

The camps and the fear had changed his life, "but the music led it, and it did it well".

Steinberg – when the KJG in steinberg introduced annual carnival parades with decorated floats in the mid-1970s, alexander ohring was already at the "forefront" there. More than four decades later, the fousanochter still carries the carnival virus within him. After a few years as a deputy, he is now since 2002 at the head of the vereinsgemeinschaft steinberg, under whose sponsorship the "staaberche fousanacht" is prepared and held as an independent project.

The very first carnival evening in the village of the scrubber in the 1970s in the former event room of the town hall was very well received. However, when the new municipality moved into the town hall in 1978 and this room was converted into a meeting hall, there was effectively no longer a venue for dances or carnival in the town. Therefore, in 1981, the local clubs decided to hold the fousanocht on the open space next to the sports center in a specially erected and heated tent.

"It was a real event at that time, which was reported in many newspapers", ohring remembers a great supraregional echo. Father unger had the club boards meet in advance to plan a children’s carnival for the youngest. This gave rise to the idea of organizing a carnival evening at the same time as setting up a tent.

After the 43 local buschen and madle had brought the two trees from the galgenhofer forest to the fairground, the crowns were decorated by the offspring and proud mamas and papas.

On sunday the people of ebersdorf celebrated kirchweih in bright sunshine. The boys’ and girls’ society paraded through the village, then danced all afternoon on the historic anger. Before that, however, the "great waiter" had the trees cut down willi rentsch the ebersdorf residents, the mayor with his city council, the pastor, etc. High life.

Numerous onlookers and visitors were at the anger to admire the dapper girls in their historical costumes and the boys as they danced the three traditional dances waltz, polka and rheinlander over the anger. Of course the frankenwald musicians from windheim were in action again this year. These musicians have accompanied the traditional costume parade and the boys’ parade for many years and have long been an integral part of the ebersdorf church fair.

This year’s summer serenade of the astheim men’s choral society (MGV) was marked by farewells. On the one hand the choir community wants to reorganize itself after the summer break. On the other hand, choir director irene kratzig laid down the baton after ten years of intensive work with the men’s and women’s choir. Flowers, gifts and much praise accompanied the ceremony.

In his laudation, board member fred binzenhofer regretted the departure of the conductor. Despite his profession and additional choir conducting activities with two other choirs, kratzig had agreed at the time to take over the direction of the two astheim choirs. All in all, it was about 50 weeks with about 1200 hours of choir rehearsals (without public performances), in which they rehearsed new songs, taught the singers choir feeling and made the association the cultural carrier of the small community. "Your commitment, your love of choral singing and your loyalty to the mannergesangverein ran like a thread through all the years of your work," binzenhofer said in praise of the conductor’s dedication.

Paul werner, chairman of the mainschleife singing group, praised kratzig’s optimistic attitude and his great commitment over the past ten years. They had formed a choir that was certainly worth hearing and seeing. Regarding the community’s last performance for the time being, he encouraged those responsible not to simply throw the long tradition overboard, but to resume active singing under a new choir director after a period of reorientation.
