A3 in lower franconia to be widened further – three lanes by 2019

Construction work on the last 20-kilometer section between rohrbrunn (district of aschaffenburg) and the main bridge near wertheim on the border with baden-wurttemberg began on thursday with a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony. This was announced by the bavarian ministry of the interior.

All other bavarian sections up to the biebelried interchange near wurzburg have already been completed or are currently being upgraded. On the hessian side, the A3 has been three-lane for a long time now. The costs of around 200 million euros will be borne by the federal government.

Very fast on the road, but missed the race target

Very fast on the road, but missed the race target

At the long distance race within the framework of the freddy-kottulinsky-revival on the race track at the schleizer triangle also matthias baier and werner sobna were at the start. At this event in memory of the paris dakar winner of 1980, motorcyclists and car drivers competed against each other in the various classes and races.
In the morning the two-wheelers raced over the asphalt, in the afternoon the car races took place. The drivers were each able to prepare for the track in 20-minute practice runs before the race got serious. At first, races were held in four performance classes, before the drivers of all classes started together in the long time race. This resulted in a dense starting field of over 50 vehicles. This race was driven by two drivers over 90 minutes. Each team could decide for itself how long each driver would stay on the track and when he would come into the pits for refueling and a changeover.
So first matthias baier went to the start and drove a 25-minute-turn. After this he came to the box and made room for werner sobna, who printed for 40 minutes on the tube. After another pit stop, baier took the wheel once again to improve the result in the last 15 minutes of the race.

Overtaking made difficult

The aim of the competition was to complete as many laps as possible in the same time. Penalty points were given for every second of deviation. However, since the riders of all classes were at the start at the same time, this was not so easy. Time and again, slower vehicles that could not be overtaken immediately blocked the way – and the lap was slower than the previous one. So baier and sobna in the 3-series BMW in the A class did not end up at the front, but managed the best lap times, although there were cars with more horsepower in the field. Baier even managed the fastest lap of the day.
The following day, there were two races without a classification on the program. Here, matthias baier (run 1) and werner sobna (run 2) could once again really step on the gas and have their spab. The next qualifying race is in hockenheim for baier, who starts in race series A.

Munnerstadt: hannah played bartering real

Munnerstadt: hannah played bartering real

The realistic accident representation of the fire department munnerstadt in the context of the specialized service camp of the bavarian red cross became also a challenge for the firefighters. "Accident place" was the city parish church in munnerstadt. This staircase is currently covered in dust and thus offered a suitable training object for the realistic rescue of an injured person from a height of about ten meters. It was assumed that the rotten beams of the side roof of the church had collapsed. When the firefighters and the forces of the BRK munnerstadt arrived at the church, they saw a young man lying on the ground who had been hit by falling pieces of the roof truss. On the scaffold, at a height of about ten meters, they hoarded cries for help from another person.

While the injured person lying on the ground could be helped quickly, it turned out that it was not so easy to take care of the person, represented by hannah from the hammelburg youth red cross, and to bring her safely down to the ground. There was no way to carry her down the truss, as there were only narrow ladders and hatches. "The existing staircase, which we would naturally use in an emergency, we think today once away", explained the firefighters. This left only the possibility of getting to the injured person via the turntable ladder. The narrow street at the museum was a further problem. Cars were parked there, which first had to be driven away. "That can happen to us in an emergency, too" said a firefighter. Then it was not so easy to position the ladder so that it could be extended.
