cultural events and local events

On February 1, the city of Eisenberg experiences a comeback of Fastnacht. After 30 years there is again a splendor meeting in the Evangelical parish hall, in which seven carnival clubs will appear. This is a sign of the returning of traditional celebrations in the region.

In Kaiserslautern, the immigration office reports long waiting times, which has triggered frustration among citizens. According to reports, many people had to wait in front of the authority at night. In addition, the trains on the Lautertal route return to a normal timetable, which has improved commuter traffic between Kaiserslautern and Lauterecken since February 1st

Not everything is positive: Another cruciate ligament tear at the FCK player Hendrick Zuck ensures concern in the club. The midfielder seems to be out longer, while the coach assures his support. At the same time, the Central Cinema in Kaiserslautern had to announce that it was closing for the time being and is looking for a new operator that could affect the city's cultural landscape.

social and economic challenges

The economic situation in the West Palatinate remains tense because unemployment has increased by 9 %. 19,500 people are currently registered unemployed, while there are 4,500 vacancies. According to the employment agency, comprehensive information on further training opportunities and professional qualifications are also offered in its professional information center to help job seekers in finding a job. For example, internet workplaces and application PCs are available to make access to offers easier to offer, such as Arbeitsagentur.de

In addition, the district recently received a funding allowance of around one million euros for the expansion of Kreisstraße 7. This is intended to improve the transport infrastructure and set possible economic impulses. The modernization of the sewage treatment plant in Dahn is also supported by the state with 200,000 euros.

Despite these positive developments, Kaiserslautern continues to fight with social problems. An incident in which a man was attacked at his doorstep requires police investigations. In addition, a recent dog bite that did not take place outdoors, but in an apartment, remains a topic of discussions in the city.

In the meantime, the police have registered and determined two attacks on taxi drivers within a week to ensure security in the city. A fraudulent incident, in which an 84-year-old pensioner felt cheated by several hundred thousand euros, is also the focus of the investigation.
