Fire disaster in Bad Ems: Investigations started after death!
On January 13, 2025, the focus is on several current topics in Rhineland-Palatinate. The fire in Bad Ems is particularly dramatic, where a resident died. The investigation into the cause of the fire has already been started. This is not the only shocking incident, because at the weekend there were a total of two deaths in fires in the country, including a 68-year-old woman in Kaiserslautern. The exact background of the fires are still unclear and are intensively examined by the responsible authorities. Tagesschau
in parallel to these tragic events, the honor of outstanding athletes takes place. Gesa Krause, Julian Weber and the 1. FC Kaiserslautern were recognized as the state athlete in 2024, recognizing their remarkable achievements in the past year. Such honors contribute to the positive perception of sport and community in Rhineland-Palatinate.
political decisions and weather conditions
Today, the Federal Election Committee decides on the admission of parties to the Bundestag election, with a total of 56 small parties being checked. This is 30 less than in the last choice, which may indicate a change in the political climate. At the same time, a high -pressure area brings sunny weather to Rhineland -Palatinate, with temperatures between -2 and +2 degrees, which invites citizens to outdoor activities.
In Mainz, the sending of new property tax notices was also announced, as new evaluation rules came into force on January 1, 2025. Citizens must adapt to changes in their tax notices that arise from the new regulations.
forest state report 2024
Another important topic is the idea of the forest state report 2024 by Minister of Climate Protection Katrin Eder. According to a report by FVA BW , the crown level of Douglasie has kept almost constant, with an average crown composition of 19.3 percent. Distribution is often the result of dry stress or infestation from the sooty Douglasienschütte, which further endangers the health of this tree species.
The condition of the beeches, which suffered greatly from the extreme weather conditions of the past few years, is also worrying. The average leaf loss of the beeches is 31.3 percent, and despite the moist years 2023 and 2024, there are hardly any improvements. Many trees still show drought damage from previous years, which indicates a continuing problem in forestry.The oaks, on the other hand, experienced a deterioration in the crown state. The average leaf loss increased to 31.6 percent due to the damage to the feeding of butterfly caterpillars and oak mildew. The term "new forest damage", which has been in discussion since the 1970s, describes these complex damage images and shows how sensitive the forest reactions react to climate change. Phenomena are not only regional, but also all over Germany.
