The time of the thirty years' war was also a heavy burden for the small jura village of affalterthal, since it was strategically located on an old road from gobweinstein to grafenberg (nurnberg), and, what weighed even more heavily: the owners of the village, the lords of egloffstein, soon converted to the evangelical faith, which is why it often came to conflicts with the bishop of bamberg.
It was also the landed gentry who brought the swedes with king gustav adolf at the head into the country, in order to find help in the fight against the (catholic) emperor.
On 8. September 1629, in the course of the counter-reformation, 30 soldiers from forchheim and 50 armed men from the office of leyenfels entered affalterthal with the help of a bamberg constable in order to install the catholic pastor johann dietz, against the will of the people and the village owner of egloffstein.

Oath and revenge

They expelled the evangelical pastor, the chronicle continues, forcibly opened the church doors and loved to read a holy mass. The people of affalterthal were forced to return to the catholic faith by an oath that everyone had to take. Revenge was not long in coming.
On 29. October 1631 the bailiff wolf reufl von gobweinstein reports that friedrich von egloffstein has taken it upon himself to recruit horsemen, namely a whole company. Eight riders were accommodated in the inn in affalterthal, the others in private homes in bieberbach and affalterthal.
These have a "reftrager von etzdorf, who wanted to go to nurnberg with his basket, was attacked and robbed of his belongings; likewise they attacked the pastor helldorfer von wichsenstein, who wanted to go to moggast with his schoolmaster, robbed him of his horse, the silver goblet and the schoolmaster's clothes together with his coat.

How close the vdk is to the people was shown by the report of the local association chairman karl neudecker at the members' meeting. So we had 34 "caregivers", so visits to members on the occasion of birthdays, anniversaries, but also in case of illness in the area of the local association took place.
A large part of the work lay on the shoulders of klara neudecker, the wife of the chairman, who does valuable work as a supervisor. At christmas, all members over 75 years of age were visited and presented with a gift.
During the period under review, the number of members rose again, reported neudecker, who has led the local association for 38 years. The number of members was reduced by three deaths, but seven new members were also gained. As a result, the local association sambach currently pays 100 members. The "help heal wounds" collection, to which the entire board of management was on the way, had produced a good result.

Burgermeister says thank you

Mayor hans beck (WBS) gave the ruhr local association high praise for its valuable work for the good of the people. Andreas hofmann, who has been a member of the board for ten years, was honored by the chairman and the deputy chairman of the district council, volker ehrenberg, for his commitment.
The vdk social association plays a "unifying role" for local people, according to vice-chairman ehrenberg. A community of solidarity had been formed, which was not called the "vdk family" for nothing is referred to as. In the first nine months of 2017, the vdk provided 280,000 social legal consultations for its members. There have been 53,500 applications for social benefits, about 19,000 appeals against official letters and nearly 5,500 lawsuits.
For the members, more than 30 million euros in back payments could be recovered during this period. That the social association is "combative and active getting involved in politics is very important.
In the upcoming state elections, the vdk will therefore "put the candidates to the test" on the key issues of social inequality, pensions, health and care. 

The chairwoman of the local group of the frankenwaldverein (V), jessica deuerling-feil, looked back on numerous activities in the past year at the annual general meeting. Especially the mountain festival was a great success.

After two new members, five resignations and ten deaths, she put the number of members at 202 as of 31 december 2018. December 2018. The many deaths showed that the demographic change had also caught up with the frankenwaldverein: "in the future, we must try to inspire more young people." More focus should therefore be placed on membership recruitment this year. She hopes to inspire more people to join the frankenwaldverein by offering reduced annual dues for families (25 euros) and single parents (18 euros).

Once again, the members of the weisendorf building and environmental committee rejected the new construction of a residential complex with six residential units and eleven parking spaces on monchweg. Already on 18. On february the committee had refused the municipal consent. As mayor heinrich sub explained in the most recent meeting, the developer had submitted plans for a gable roof with a 30-degree pitch instead of the extended penthouse with a flat roof, and the attic was not to be extended.

Building body too rough?

In the discussion, gunther vogel (BWG) criticized the coarseness of the building, which did not fit in at all with the surroundings, and each parking space had to be accessible. Norbert maier (grune) saw no serious changes in the new planning. He also criticized the massiveness of the structure and, like gunther vogel, announced his rejection. The building committee then unanimously followed the proposal for a resolution not to grant the municipal consent. The marked parking spaces could not all be recognized.

Until now, it was a logical consequence for successful retailers to establish an online presence sooner or later in order to remain competitive in their industry. Online stores with an offline orientation remain the exception, however.
Fashion for home has not, however, jumped into the ice cold water with the opening of the new showroom in berlin mitte. After several successful "test runs" through their pop-up stores and their showroom at alexanderplatz, the operators of the designer furniture store have been able to gather valuable experience that they can profitably integrate into their new multi-channeling concept. Berlin-based mobelshop can also benefit from the multi-channeling experience of its new investor acton capital.
Fashion online store conley’s has also decided to sell its products additionally in retail stores in the future. With the support of smaller partner stores, where conley’s corners are set up, they also try to take off stationarily.
Multi channeling may not work equally well for every internet company, but it can be an opportunity to reach a broader audience. The furniture industry on the internet is currently growing very fast and the potential is far from exhausted. Many customers still refrain from buying on the internet, especially for products in the high-priced segment, as it is important for them to know that they are buying a high-quality product from a trustworthy source. A representative store floor, as in the case of fashion for home, can therefore be a good complement to the online store and alleviate potential customers’ fears.
In multi-channeling, the successful interplay of stationary and online channels can create a customer-oriented and efficient sales model that can make the decisive difference between a webshop and a successful company.
