What happens on vacation

The audience of the two performances of the theater group "curtain up" enjoyed leaning back and having fun in the fully occupied gymnasium. With the three-act play "wellness with side effects the actors, under the direction of holger zwirlein, succeeded in scoring a hit, which was rewarded by the guests with hearty and long-lasting applause.
For the third time in a biennial cycle, the amateur drama group presented a comedy, the proceeds of which were donated to the charity kindergarten in love. The facility can use all the support it can get, as kindergarten director daniela koch emphasized at the end of the performance. "We like to get involved for a good cause", replied holger zwirlein, himself chairman of the sponsoring association for many years and this time not only a player but also a director.

Proud of the troupe

"since april we first rehearsed in the kindergarten. After the reading we studied individual scenes and finally act by act. It was difficult to find suitable dates for all of them. Only seven times we were full. We were only able to rehearse twice on the stage in the gymnasium. Nevertheless it worked out very well. I am proud of my troupe", so zwirlein after the opening night.
A special challenge was the stage design, as zwirlein began. Instead of a standard living room, a modern hotel had to be created. "We are very grateful to the furnishing house angermuller for the furniture, fensterbau schuler for the terrace and holzdesign plescher for the scenery. The local clubs also helped us with sound and light equipment", said the director.
The comedy takes place in a wellness hotel, where the married couple eva and hugo haberstich, who are friends (ulrike breuter and holger zwirlein) as well as monika and kurt kleiner (gudrun schaller and christian daller) spend a weekend together. The women black from the young masseur pascal stark (sebastian dees) "with his magic hands that give new life". The men seek adventure in the nearby nightclub, where they admire the dancers and even bring a bra to the hotel. Where to hide and what for?

Tricky situations

ingenuity is needed. The young, attractive carpenter sonja (nora sebert) shows up and takes advantage of the tricky situation in her own way. But they get a strong ruffle from the resolute housekeeper mrs. Schrubbmeier (monika rettke), who watches over cleanliness and order, so that all the guests can feel good. While the women are dreaming of dinner, the men are totally dissatisfied with "portions for the hollow tooth" and "cheap meat as a rip-off". The evening can not end like this.

"We've done a good job of moving the fire department forward in the last 20 years and we've made a lot of progress", says ottmar bohnlein. For the last 17 years he was the first commander for the rimbach floriansjunger in action. Bohnlein is very proud of the good cooperation, the enthusiasm and the team spirit of his comrades. An attractive fire station, well-trained firefighters and modern equipment are the guarantee that the fire department of the volkach district is doing so well.

The fact that bohnlein did not stand for re-election on saturday and that a successor was found spontaneously is evidence of the willingness to take on responsibility in the village. As the new first commander, matthias gotz will be leading the fire brigade in the future. The deputy commander has also been relieved of his duties. Werner graber took over the office of second commander, previously held by bjorn fischer.
2012 was a relatively quiet year for the active fire brigade. Only once it had to be printed out. After a storm the firefighters cleared the road from fallen trees. According to bohnlein, eight men and women passed the performance test "the group in the fire brigade". Several training courses and fire department training sessions had preceded the training.

The demand of the new generation stands in rimbach for many years in the foremost place. 16 young people are involved in the two youth groups, which the commander personally leads. "I joined the youth fire department at the age of 16, back then in my birthplace of alitzheim", tells bohnlein. After his wedding, the 48-year-old came to rimbach and immediately joined the local floriansjungern there.
