Robert rosch is a friend of clear and open words. This is emphasized again and again by the CEO of the fashion company wohrl during the conversation. "Ask, ask", he encourages the media representatives. He would be happy to tell them how they feel at the ketschengasse location in coburg, which opened six months ago. But, yes, of course, when asked, he also comments on rumors that have come to his attention in the meantime. "It's not true that we're already going to be leaving after just one year," says, robert rosch clarifies.

Ten-year contract
Apart from the fact that they hadn't invested that much in the former C&A property otherwise: "we have a ten-year contract with two options for extension." And he adds: "we are happy in coburg. Every time i drive here from nurnberg, i'm glad we made this location."

Two hurdles on the way to the "solar park scheblitz were taken in the last city council meeting. Martin beil from the company dietz und partner, based in elfershausen, presented the current status of planning. The developer is naturstromanlagen gmbh, a wholly owned subsidiary of naturstrom AG. The proposed site is located to the right and left of the A70 highway, west of the robdorf am berg exit. The plant is located in the "frankische schweiz – veldensteiner forst" nature reserve, which requires that some conservation requirements be taken into account.

After the city council passed a basic resolution to require the construction of photovoltaic plants only within the infrastructure corridors (110-meter strips along the highway and railroad), an expansion to 18 hectares had already been rejected in february of last year. In this context, a small part of the area was renounced in order to ensure a problem-free agricultural cultivation at the request of the landowner.

Something has changed. Without a doubt. Christmas business is no longer as easy for the stationary trade as it used to be. This is particularly noticeable in medium-sized and smaller centers such as kitzingen, volkach and wiesentheid. Only one thing helps: cohesion.

Petra ziegler is the district chairwoman of the bavarian trade association (HBE). And she is an independent businesswoman in volkach. But not for long. "I’m in a clearance sale at the moment," she explains. At the end of the year, it will close its women’s fashion store on the main street. In march, a new management will take over, petra ziegler will then work as a salaried employee. "It’s not easy to be self-reliant," she says. You always have to come up with something new to attract customers. People in their mid-40s also like to get involved. "They still appreciate social contacts and advice," says ziegler. But the younger customers? "They probably only shop on the internet."

It is now well known that there is a shortage of new building sites in eltmann. The city pushes to its topographical limits with the possibility of creating new residential areas. The main river and the high hills of the steigerwald make it difficult to expand the site. However, the fact that interior development also offers many opportunities and that developers also have reserves was made clear at the meeting of the city’s building committee on monday afternoon.

In limbach, a developer wants to build new and renovate existing buildings on a plot of land, convert a barn and use renewable energy sources. Whether this is possible was examined in a preliminary building application to the city. She has no objection to the conversion of a barn or the demolition of a former slaughterhouse – and certainly not to a heat pump in the immediate vicinity of the mains or to solar collectors.
