Rhein in Flammen is to take place in 2023 in a reduced version. This was announced by the City of Bonn and Tourismus & Congress GmbH late on Wednesday afternoon after talks with the municipalities between Bonn and Linz that have been involved up to now. According to the press release, the partners have agreed to "immediately start planning talks for Rhine in Flames" 2024 in order to transfer the popular event into a new concept, to secure it economically and to develop it sustainably. As reported, the exact programme for Rhine in Flames on the first weekend in May 2023 was still open. The main issues were the convoy of ships and the illumination of the banks. Organiser Jürgen Harder has already organised the land programme for Bonn's Rheinaue. "In 2023, there will be the established land event in the Bonn Rheinaue as well as the music-synchronised fireworks. Instead of a convoy of ships between Bonn and Linz, individual boat trips are planned," T&C and the City of Bonn announce. The Rhine bank will only be illuminated in the Bonn city area. In the run-up, the main issue was financing. The city and T&C now justify their decision with a financing gap of 100,000 Euro. Apart from the city of Bonn, almost no other municipality has agreed to contribute financially. Until now, the fireworks along the route between Bonn and Linz, shore lighting and light installations as well as costs for security and permits were paid for with the fireworks levy on ship tickets. "Nothing will change for the land programme in 2023," Jürgen Harder, the organiser responsible, told the GA. It was still open who would be responsible for the fireworks in the Rheinaue. Harder had offered in advance to also take over the organisation of the ship convoy. He finds the cancellation a pity, because "the origin of Rhine in Flames is to illuminate the Rhine and to sail through a perpetual fireworks display," says Harder. The owners of Bonner Personen Schiffahrt (BPS) want to join in, even if Rhine in Flames 2023 becomes more of an evening trip with single fireworks, similar to the trips to the fireworks in Bad Breisig or Andernach so far. "We in Bonn are happy that something is taking place, but I don't know how many colleagues from outside are making the long journey," said BPS board member Clemens Schmitz.

the promenade along the riverbank will flood from a level of seven meters At the Rathenauufer between the Erster and Zweiter Fährgasse it also becomes critical from a level of seven meters The riverside promenade at Alter Zoll will be flooded from a level of 7.50 meters As announced by the municipal authorities in Bonn on Friday the city's public order office had already begun to inform the owners of vehicles parked in the Brassertufer area so that they can move their cars in good time The city points out that vehicles parked there will be towed away from a water level of 6.50 meters Free parking areas are already provisionally closed off the remaining cars on Brassertufer were towed away by the city as a precaution the dam gates in Beuel between Wolfsgasse and Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Strasse are closed the access roads to the riverbank between Schaumburg-Lippe-Strasse up to Legionsweg are shut The bus stops ‘Bad Godesberg Fähre’ and ‘Bad Godesberg Rheinufer’ will no longer be served the number 66 tram line in the Königswinter/Bad Honnef-Rhöndorf area will flood the riverside promenade "Am Alten Zoll" floods and is no longer passable from eight meters The data on water levels are based on measurements taken by the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration The measuring station in Bonn is located at Rhine kilometre 654.80 The 66 tram was running until Sunday noon to Bad Honnef and then switched to a replacement service The ferry from Niederdollendorf had already stopped service earlier the water level led to the closure of the road to Königswinter The water level in Andernach exceeded the seven-meter mark in the afternoon But the Honnef Rhine ferry "Siebengebirge" can continue to operate up to the Andernach water level of 8.80 meters On Sunday the inhabitants of Linz and the areas up to Königswinter also prepared for the announced flooding the Rhine rose up near to the donkey statue and partially spilled onto the Rheinallee the fire department came to the riverbank to close the access road head of the Königswinter volunteer fire department taking precautions for the next few days during which the water could rise even further - namely over 800 centimeters The fire department built walkways in Kellerstraße “We do not believe there will be an extreme situation this time But we know exactly what we have to do up to a level of 10.5 meters as we have the empirical values from 1993 and 1995,” stressed Bungarz Tips for proper preparation can be found on the websites of the Königswinter and Bad Honnef fire departments Corona and now high water: Heinz Kremer from the H&H restaurant brought his stock to safety with a moving company “But we're closed anyway,” he said with bitter humor the Rheinhotel “battened down the hatches” Kevin Baum from one of the specially hired companies explained “we’ve put steel beams and bankirai on the outer walls And we laid out over 200 sandbags before that.” The rising water level also has an impact on the ferry service the passenger ferry ‘Nixe’ between Remagen and Erpel ceased operation the ferry service between Niederdollendorf and Bad Godesberg is also suspended with immediate effect Passers-by who wanted to board the ferry ‘Königswinter IV’ shortly before 2 p.m were warned by managing director Michael Birk We're not coming back.” He put up a warning sign that read ‘Ferry out of service’ the peak is announced for Wednesday and Thursday The car ferry between Linz and Remagen-Kripp also had to stop we need a level of 7.15 meters at Andernach for the passenger ferry even 6.40 meters - both levels with a falling trend safe ferry operation is not possible,” explained Managing Director Udo Scholl the water overflowed along the Bad Breisig Rhine promenade which is used as a measure by the fire department The Rhine had already broken its banks on Saturday in the area between Biergasse and the Kurpark “We have set up a hotline and on Sunday at noon we informed people via Katwarn where an emergency can be reported,” said the head of the Bad Breisig fire brigade flyers have been distributed in the endangered areas He explained that they will wait and see how the situation develops before taking further measures This could be the case on Monday or Tuesday if the seven meters predicted in Koblenz are reached The fire station is not permanently manned at the moment due to corona but all members were contacted by telephone to ensure their readiness for action In Remagen and the surrounding area the situation was still relaxed on Sunday critical water levels are expected on Tuesday “We have built isolated walkways in Kripp and helped people to clear the banks,” Wolf said the fire department will staff a construction trailer as an information and storage centre from Monday Operation of the Linz to Remagen ferry was suspended at 6 p.m the inhabitants were informed about the upcoming flooding via loudspeaker trucks in Oberwinter and Rolandswerth everything was still quiet on Sunday Wolf is concerned about the warmer temperatures announced as these could cause a rapid thawing of the snow in the Black Forest and thus a second wave The fire chief is comparing the current developments with the flood of 2018 Two women in Germany have broken their bones and are reportedly in hospital after a threesome with a man went wrong The first woman has suffered broken bones on her feet and legs after she fell 10ft from a balcony in Bad Breisig The second women apparently slipped and broke her arm and neck bones when she ran downstairs to help her friend Medics arrived at the apartment where the man explained about the incident Police said the female victims were both naked The man in the threesome told police that "during the lovemaking with one of the ladies leaning against a balcony railing Police said that it was an accident and that no charges will be made against them The names and ages of the victims "will not be released to spare their embarrassment," police added A newspaper commented on the incident saying "They better try bondage next time."
