A stroll day should be the 15. August – and a stroll day has become mary's ascension day. Many visitors from the surrounding area took advantage of the catholic holiday, which is not one in the protestant town of kitzingen, to go shopping or look around.

Not to be heeded

Just over 20 degrees, cloudy and not as hot as a few days ago: the conditions were ideal for the stroll day proclaimed by the city marketing association. Already in the morning the cafes at the market place were full. Around the kiliansbrunnen many enjoyed coffee or an ice cream and listened to the songs of achim zepter. The summer exhibition in the town hall was more of an in-between event. Ideal time to dilly-dally.

A crude cross and a weathercock crown again the parish church st. The cross and the weathercock of st. John baptist of modschiedel were blessed again from afar by the visitors and residents of the jurassic village. The slaters from the erzgebirge and the vogtland must have known how important their church is to the people of modscheid, and the carpenters from the donath company in wonsees knew it. In any case, 14 days beforehand, contrary to planning, they managed in an exemplary manner to put the spire with the cross and weathercock back on high up on the 27 meter high tower. These had been previously blessed by pastor gerhard mockel in front of the house of worship.
The repair and restoration work was remarkable. Since the end of april, the wooden beams of the tower have had to be completely renovated, replaced in some areas and repaired by the carpenters in the interest of the preservation of historical monuments and above all with regard to stability. Now the crossbeam is firmly fixed to the masonry, and the rafters are once again stable in the so-called imperial stem, in which the tower crown has been reinserted. Three steel rings placed beforehand hold the construction firmly in place. The tower ornament with the sphere has three cross beams and at the top the weathercock, which can now rotate again and shows the modscheiders the wind direction. Firmly anchored is the cross, which is aligned in north-south direction. The 2.10 meter high spire and the sphere underneath were straightened, sandblasted, galvanized and finally re-gilded by the company bayreuther turmuhren. Until the assembly on the top of the tower, everything was still tightly packed in absorbent cotton, so that no sweat can get to the gold and it can shine far into the jura landscape. In the sphere below, a document cartridge was inserted into which renovation documents from 1982, the current issue of the newspaper, a report by pastor gerhard mockel and the renovation concept of architect georg schilling as well as euro coins worth 3.88 euros were placed, i.E. One of each coin. In order to keep these documents for a long time, the master of the tower clock company has soldered them on the spot.
The total cost for the renovation of the wooden structures of the spire, the new roofing with natural slate and the spire with the new dials of the tower clock, according to architect georg schilling, so far amounts to about 173 000 euro. After the descent from the lofty heights, drinks and barbecue were served to all those present. Church caretaker anita rauch thanked all those involved, especially the carpenters, who carried out the much more complicated and time-consuming renovation work on the historic wooden construction of the spire quickly and in an exemplary manner in just three months. Andreas matzold, who supervised the carpentry work as a structural engineer, was also very committed to the project. The fact that all the bells rang out during the small celebration, to the delight of all the people of modscheid, fitted in with the picture of the successful tower renovation.

Horst kresser in unfinden is a passionate beekeeper. He not only looks after a few bee colonies himself, but also provides them with food by planting flower meadows. But he is also always ready to share his knowledge about the life of these insects, which are so important for nature and people, and about the extraction of honey.

Schuler from nurnberg

Now it was the students and teachers of a fifth grade class from durer-gymnasium in nurnberg who paid horst kresser a visit on the occasion of their stay at the youth hostel in konigsberg. Kresser gave the students an insight into the structure and life of a bee colony and demonstrated how to deal with it.
He also showed the visitors the equipment needed to extract honey. The interested fifth-graders from nurnberg gained an in-depth insight into the work and important work of a bee expert and also learned how important bees are for people. 

The water in the paddling pool and in the bird bath should also be changed every day in midsummer. After the rather cool beginning of summer the larvae stayed in the water longer than usual. But now the mosquitoes are slipping.

To contain the infestation, the rain barrel should also be drained. If you don’t want to simply empty the precious giebwasser, you can remove larvae with a kasher. If you have not found any in the water yet, you have been lucky. But then it makes sense to cover the reservoir now, wagner recommends.

This year’s children’s bible days in the parish of lonnerstadt were held under the motto: "seek and find – treasures of the reformation".
The life of martin luther played a major role in it. Over 30 children in three groups set out to find. The children had found many treasures. A cross for christ, a rope to keep us in the faith, a precious gift as a sign of grace, a bible, a hymnal, a godfather and a chalice as a sign of holy communion.
Everything was collected in a treasure chest. The children hoard that martin luther was a bible explorer who encouraged people to read the bible for themselves after he had translated it into german.
The song: I am a bible explorer was a hit. The children were able to get creative with games and handicrafts. The homemade reformation breads tasted especially good to everyone. On the last day, each group was able to plant a martin luther rose at the memorial in front of the church. The bible days ended with a family service.
