Walk

Today, in good weather, a pleasant walk along the Neckar and then back through the pedestrian zone. Deeply involved in conversations and trying to present the beautiful sides of the city to an old Neuheilbronner, a wonderful and refreshing affair.

You can see that consciously looking beyond makes the world more beautiful. I was able to return to my desk relaxed.

I should - even if this realization comes very late - make this my philosophy of life: just always look the other way and just make sure that I don't miss an opportunity to reap advantages for myself at the expense of others.

At my own age, that philosophy will no doubt pay off, and to be honest Jeanne Antoinette Poisson "After me the deluge, plague and cholera, as well as the Chinese."

Hajek successor

I never would have thought that I would find the opportunity to praise the Greens faction in the Heilbronn municipal council. However, after the former chairman could be satisfied with a post elsewhere, there was now actually a chance that the Greens faction would assume their responsibility and look for a suitable successor for our construction mayor Wilfried Hajek keeps a lookout.

Wilfried Hajek must have done a good job, because I don't know of any faction in the municipal council that hasn't rubbed shoulders with him over the past 16 years. And so I was already prepared for the fact that the opportunity of his successor would be used, for example to provide for a city councilor or at least to help a party friend to a new post - regardless of the needs and necessities of Heilbronn.

So I am now very positively surprised that the Greens have taken responsibility and presented an external candidate who has specialist knowledge and already has experience. And that the other fractions are now also surprised about this - unfortunately negatively - can be clearly seen when you read their concerns and objections in the Heilbronner Voice (19.03.2022: 34). I only understand these concerns as an attempt to still be able to accommodate one's own city councilor or needy party comrades or friends.

I therefore hope that the Green Group will be able to assert itself. And until recently I would have vehemently denied that I would ever write something like this.

lecture evening

Yesterday's lecture evening was a real pleasure for the lecturer - me. Admittedly, "armor" is a very cumbersome topic that has hardly got anyone out from behind the sofa in Heilbronn, at least for the last 15 years or so. One participant put it something like this: “Armor has a similar status with us as pornography.”

And so I was very pleased that not only all places were taken, but also that very interested and well-informed participants had come to the lecture. The evening was already saved for me when I was able to establish that a representative of the “armaments industry” was also taking part in the discussion.

And our youth club was also strongly represented and with their ideas on the subject pragmatically pragmatic and also very goal-oriented - that alone motivated me immensely, sometimes you think that our youth lives on a completely different planet.

Ultimately, the discussion lasted longer than I had expected, and we were able to continue it in small groups at the subsequent dinner together - and so it was again a little later.

My thanks go to all those involved, who have clearly shown that even difficult issues can be discussed and that satisfactory results can be achieved for everyone involved with a good culture of debate. And because of the objections made (e.g. in the field of medical services), specific questions and ideas, I was able to take away a lot to think about.

I also take on board the feedback, at the next lecture on this subject, to present the facts with the help of a presentation — with participants like this one, the additional effort is certainly worth it.

Last but not least I would like to thank you Prof. dr Walther Heipertz thank you, who had traveled all the way from Heidelberg for this lecture.
