Asparagus season in Hessen starts early: First stands open in Weiterstadt!

The asparagus season in Hessen started earlier than planned this year. Thanks to the mild weather, the first companies in Weiterstadt and Griesheim have already started the sale of fresh asparagus. The price for the coveted vegetables is expected to be around 15 euros per kilo, although cheaper options are also available. This reports hessenschau.de .

The official opening of the asparagus season fell on Monday when Agriculture Minister Ingmar Jung (CDU) and asparagus queen Lena I gave the starting signal at an asparagus in Zwingenberg (Bergstrasse). However, the first local asparagus was already available in mid -March, which starts the season hopefully. "Asparagus is the most important vegetable culture in Hesse," emphasized Jung, praising direct marketing over the "asparagus booth", which promotes exchange between agriculture and end users. This positive message comes especially for asparagus farmers who have had to struggle with increasing wage and energy costs in recent years.

traffic restrictions in Frankfurt

The subway in Frankfurt will face challenges in the next three weeks. The U9 line is completely canceled, while the U1 only runs between the Südbahnhof and Heddernheim. These restrictions are due to necessary construction work, which is expected to be completed by April 13. Such measures are part of the continuous efforts to improve the transport infrastructure.

Darmstadt becomes digital resilient

Another important step in the Hessian infrastructure is the foundation of the first German Center for Digital Resilience. This center, which is located in Darmstadt, pursues the goal of strengthening crisis management and developing into a national platform for digital resilience. A declaration of intent was signed by Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser and Digital Minister Kristina Sinemus, which underlines the importance of this initiative.

federal investments in the infrastructure

In a comprehensive program, Deutsche Bahn (DB) has announced an investment of up to 53 billion euros for improving the rail infrastructure by the end of 2027. As part of the “S3” group renovation program, a focus is to be on the renovation of existing infrastructure and the modernization of 400 train stations. According to the plans, 13 general renovations of the Engpass corridors will be carried out by 2027.

The DB plans to significantly improve the customer offer and user -friendliness. This includes the monthly improvement of 100 train stations in order to design them barrier -free and optimize customer information. A central element of these investments will be the replacement of 200 outdated signal boxes through modern technology to reduce train failures. These comprehensive measures show the will of the DB to regain performance in the long term and to regain the growth path, such as Deutschebahn.com informed.

urban developments and protests

Kassel also took measures to make room for outdoor catering by blocking a car trail for meal areas. Five terrace areas are to be set up, which are promoted by federal funds. In another social context, protests in Turkey are taking place against the detention of the opposition politician İmamoğlu, which resulted in over 1,100 arrests.
