Even though he’s quick to say he obviously enjoys real beer more, Tobias Zollo says he savors alcohol-free beer when he’s working or eating lunch. It has the same taste but fewer calories than a soft drink, he said, thanks to the brewery’s process of evaporating the alcohol. “You can’t drink beer every day — unfortunately,” he joked last week at the Bavarian state brewery in the German town of Freising, about 20 miles north of Munich. Zollo isn’t alone in his appreciation for the sober beverage. Alcohol-free beer has been gaining popularity in recent years as beer consumption shrinks. At Weihenstephan, which was founded as a brewery in 1040 by Benedictine monks, nonalcoholic wheat beer and lager now make up 10% of the volume. The increase over the last few years, since they started making alcohol-free drinks in the 1990s, mirrors the statistics for the rest of Germany’s beer industry. “The people are unfortunately — I have to say that as a brewer — unfortunately drinking less beer,” Zollo said Friday, the day before Oktoberfest officially started. “If there’s an alternative to have the crisp and fresh taste from a typical Weihenstephan beer, but just as a nonalcoholic version, we want to do that.” Even at Oktoberfest — arguably the world’s most famous ode to alcohol — alcohol-free beer is on the menu. All but two of the 18 large tents at the festival offer the drink through the celebration’s 16 days. The sober beverage will cost drinkers the same as an alcoholic beer — between 13.60 and 15.30 euros ($15.12 and $17.01) for a 1-liter mug (33 fluid ounces) — but save them from a hangover. “For people who don’t like to drink alcohol and want to enjoy the Oktoberfest as well, I think it’s a good option,” Mikael Caselitz, 24, of Munich said Saturday inside one of the tents. “Sometimes people feel like they have more fun with alcohol, which is not a good thing because you can also have fun without alcohol.” He added: “If you want to come and drink alcohol-free beer, nobody will judge you.” This year marked the first time an alcohol-free beer garden opened in Munich. “Die Null,” which means “the zero” in German, served nonalcoholic beer, mocktails and other alcohol-free drinks near the city’s main train station this summer but was scheduled to close a few day before Oktoberfest opened. Walter König, managing director of the Society of Hop Research north of Munich, said researchers have had to breed special hops varieties for alcohol-free beer. If brewers use the typical hops for alcohol-free beer, the distinct aroma gets lost when the alcohol is reduced during the brewing process. But customers don’t care about that, König said Friday as he prepared for Oktoberfest. “They only want to know that what they are tasting is as good as traditional beers with alcohol,” he said.

to the Vatican on Monday after a four-day visit to his ailing elder brother in their native Germany in what was his first trip out of Italy since he resigned as pope flew from Munich to Rome aboard an Italian air force plane who said it was a moment 'œof happiness and melancholy,'ť news agency dpa reported Benedict returned to his home in the Vatican gardens in the early afternoon It was his first trip outside Italy in over seven years The 93-year-old retired pontiff arrived in Germany on Thursday to be with his 96-year-old brother The two brothers have long been close and were ordained priests on the same day Benedict greeted old neighbors and prayed at his parents' grave Regensburg Bishop Rudolf Voderholzers said Germans saw Benedict in all his frailty during the brief visit saying it was clear the retired pope was himself 'œnear his end.'ť But his thoughts are fully clear; his memory and his powers of deduction are phenomenal.'ť Voderholzer noted that for nearly every aspect of his life but he praised Benedict for allowing his frailty to be seen but also humility to put yourself in the hands of other people It was clear to him that he could not be hidden entirely,'ť he said after Benedict had left Benedict has lived at a monastery on the Vatican grounds since shortly after his 2013 retirement Elected to the papacy in 2005 to succeed St the former Joseph Ratzinger was the first pontiff in 600 years to resign the post 10,744 Catholics formally withdrew from the Church in the German Archdiocese of Munich and Freising in 2019 the first time that annual departures had surpassed the 10,000 mark since records began CNA Staff, May 26, 2020 / 08:00 am (CNA).- A record number of people left the Church in the German Archdiocese of Munich and Freising last year The Munich statistical office told CNA Deutsch May 26 that 10,744 Catholics formally withdrew from the Church in 2019 It noted that this was a fifth higher than in 2018 Statisticians said this was the first time that annual departures had surpassed the 10,000 mark since records began the 66-year-old Archbishop of Munich and Freising announced in February that he would not stand for re-election as president of the German bishops’ conference He cited his age and his desire to spend more time in his archdiocese In March, Bayerischer Rundfunk, Bavaria’s public-service broadcaster, reported that people gave a variety of reasons for leaving including a desire to stop paying church tax the clerical abuse scandal and the position of women within the Church The Church in Germany is largely funded through a tax collected by the government If an individual is registered as a Catholic then 8-9% of their income tax goes to the Church The only way they can stop paying the tax is to make an official declaration renouncing their membership of the Church They are no longer allowed to receive the sacraments or a Catholic burial While the number of Catholics abandoning the faith has increased steadily since the 1960s, the Church’s income has risen. In 2018, the Church’s income rose to 6.64 billion euros, while 216,078 people left the Church, according to a report by the German bishops’ conference Last year the German bishops announced plans for a two-year “Synodal Way,” bringing together lay people and bishops to discuss four major topics: the way power is exercised in the Church; sexual morality; the priesthood; and the role of women They said the process would end with a series of “binding” votes — raising concerns at the Vatican that the resolutions might challenge Church teaching and discipline In June, Pope Francis sent a 28-page letter to German Catholics urging them to focus on evangelization in the face of a “growing erosion and deterioration of faith.” “Every time an ecclesial community has tried to get out of its problems alone it has ended up multiplying and nurturing the evils it wanted to overcome,” he wrote In September, the Vatican sent a letter to the German bishops declaring that their plans for the synod were “not ecclesiologically valid.” After a back and forth between the bishops’ conference and Vatican officials, the first synodal assembly took place in Frankfurt at the end of January. The second meeting is expected to go ahead In an interview May 22 with Der Spiegel, Cardinal Marx discussed his tenure as bishops’ conference president and his new book “Freiheit” (Freedom) I did not like the fact that after the Second Vatican Council old ceremonies and images were abolished in many places,” he explained “Traditions are also something important.” If you value the news and views Catholic World Report provides, please consider donating to support our efforts Your contribution will help us continue to make CWR available to all readers worldwide for free Click here for more information on donating to CWR.

and having to renounce the Church in order to decide where to offer one’s money is at least as bad if not worse given that who knows how much of the money goes to things that are un- if not anti-Catholic Pope Francis should perhaps follow Pope St Pius X’s actions regarding France and funding sodomy destroys…..and the German church supports sodomy You’ve just cast judgement upon yourself suddenly become ‘sodomites’ seeking to ravage two angels Well if they were from Sodom that’s kinda moot If you are from Sodom – you are by definition a ‘Sodom’ite Let’s try the modern ‘term’- ‘gay’ ALL the people of Sodom were gay – young and old Must have been something in the unholy water ? suddenly become ‘sodomites’ seeking to ravage two angels ?” They had given themselves over to sin for a long time; Genesis 13″13 says 1″And the men of Sodom were very wicked and sinners before the face of the Lord beyond measure.” “Gay” is a word that means bright and cheerful and has been misappropriated to describe perversion “If you are from Sodom – you are by definition a ‘Sodom’ite.” having been destroyed for its wickedness; there were not even ten righteous men in the city but the all men were involved in the attempt to rape the angelic visitors “Must have been something in the unholy water ??” In spite of your efforts to be flippant and trivialize their sin (not to mention removing the responsibility from them by blaming it on the water) Well the German Bishops have made it clear they have no respect for Catholic Doctrine and intend to become devotees of the zeitgeist Why on earth would anyone expect the formerly faithful to believe that religious observance has any value to their lives or human society generally Is the Catholic Church in the midst of a schism My family has origins in Baveria and they were staunch Catholics I don’t believe that at their time in Munich there was forced tithing via tax the following admits that the hierarchy knew of this disgrace “If an individual is registered as a Catholic then 8-9% of their income tax goes to the Church They are no longer allowed to receive the sacraments or a Catholic burial” “Last year the German bishops announced plans for a two-year “Synodal Way,” bringing together lay people and bishops to discuss four major topics: the way power is exercised in the Church; sexual morality; the priesthood; and the role of women” Women are not second class citizens in the church People who think about these issues carefully understand that men and women can be ontologically equal but have different functional roles in the church that means that the German State is collecting taxes for being Catholic Lutheran or Jewish but not for being an Atheist I wonder when the Liberals in this country adopt the same format I actually had no info about when that began in Germany but just googling around suggests their church tax has been around since the earlier 1900’s scriptural idea & I practise that myself but it would be nice if parishes could utilize it in stewardship programs to provide tuition-free Catholic education to every family who participates GA that does that & I’m sure there are others Perhaps then Germans might feel their tax isn’t being wasted except in the 1930s when Hitler hypnotized the populace with a diatribe of hate against the Jews Some dots can be connected when my mother’s family came from Ireland a country whose government was subservient to the Catholic Church Germany was an autocracy while Ireland was subjected to a Theocracy It took a world war to restore Germany to a democracy Ireland was restored by Mary Robinson a political stalwart for equal rights I consider that forced taxation is analogous to taxation without representation Mary Robinson is pro-contraception and pro-abortion She did not “restore” Ireland; Ireland was destroyed by her and people like her The “right” to butcher babies is evil Cardinal Marx and his acolytes should resign in disgrace for their destruction of the Catholic Church in Germany The German Hierarchy has been a disastrous failure and yet they want to force the Church in the rest of the world to follow their poor example I don’t know much about “forced tithing” but I wouldn’t join the church in the first place if they “told” me what I had to “donate” the church has become so secular that I only give directly to my own Parish I stopped giving for almost all 2nd collections about 2 years ago & will never support any “bishop’s initiatives” or CINO charities again – like CRS (which pushes contraception & abortion) Point two – we’ve become the church of “nice” Our “leaders” no longer preach the Gospel they preach “accept everyone & no evangelization”; “mother earth is mad at us”; “sodomy is ok”; “abortion isn’t the pre-eminent social issue of our time” They raid the Peter’s Pence charity (& others I’m sure) for their own selfish purposes They allow so-called Catholic schools to hire people who aren’t true to the faith while also covering up murals of great people like Christopher Columbus & even George Washington (see ND & GWU) The pope allows wolves like James Martin to spread the satanic alphabet-crowd agenda while he himself worships pachamama & “mother earth” The bottom line is that the church of today isn’t the church of God anymore who prey on seminarians & have all but driven the good nuns out while espousing female deacons & even priests & have been heading that way since Vatican 2 It won’t change until God Himself sets us straight or the church hierarchy comes to its collective senses & gets away from the “mother earth” nonsense & back to saving souls & faithfully leading the people Not sure whose teachings are more detrimental to the Diocese of Munich Seems like Reinhard is on well on the way to outdo Karl in terms of getting people away from the “opium of the masses…” Well unless Germans come together and look at the future on their heritage,by 2050 there will be more Muslims than Christians in Germany.Hope those leaving will be happy with the Islamic Republic of Germany which is in the making All comments posted at Catholic World Report are moderated While vigorous debate is welcome and encouraged please note that in the interest of maintaining a civilized and helpful level of discussion comments containing obscene language or personal attacks—or those that are deemed by the editors to be needlessly combative or inflammatory—will not be published The major league baseball season opened its 112th season, on March 31.

Adding natural polymers to water can dramatically improve its lubricating properties The Freising-based researchers set about testing renewable raw materials such as celluloses starches or bacterial polysaccharides and improving their use as lubricant additives Their aim: to make water more viscous by adding biopolymers For the idea to become a marketable product other partners were brought on board: the Institute for Machine Tool Engineering and Production Technology at the University of Braunschweig and Carl Bechem GmbH - a lubricant manufacturer from Hagen was improved by adding water-soluble additives so it could be used as an anti-corrosion agent That's how it meets the requirements during processing: withstanding high temperatures and shearing stresses Benefits: Easy on the environment and on gentle to the skin In addition to the significantly lower impact on the environment and the high raw material efficiency the new lubricant also offers technological benefits The processed components are also easier to clean This cuts costs and improves the cost-efficiency of the entire production process Converting to the new lubricant is very easy for companies to carry out" the same machine tool circulation systems can be used."

Der 1972 Meter hohe Untersberg ist ein seit Menschengedenken sagenumwobenes Massiv in den Berchtesgadener Alpen Im Angesicht des Untersbergs ließ auch Adolf Hitler den Berghof am Obersalzberg zu einem Freiendomizil ausbauen Der Untersberg soll sein Lieblingsberg gewesen sein als er offenbar auf einer nassen Wurzel ausgerutscht und rund 60 Meter durch teils senkrechtes Felsgelände abgestürzt ist Laut BRK Berchtesgadener Land war er sofort tot Zwei Begleiter sowie zwei weitere entgegenkommende Wanderer im Aufstieg - eine angehende Ärztin und eine Polizistin - setzten sofort einen Notruf ab und versuchten den 37-Jährigen mit Wiederbelebungsversuchen zu retten Eine per Hubschrauber abgesetzte Notärztin konnte aber nur noch den Tod des Abgestürzten feststellen Der Helikopter flog dann drei Bergretter und zwei Polizeibergführer zur Unfallstelle und flog die Ärztin zurück ins Tal Die Einsatzkräfte kümmerten sich um die Wandergruppe Der Polizeihubschraubers „Edelweiß 2“ flog dann zwei Kameraden und zwei Bergretter ins Tal der dritte Bergretter stieg mit dem Rest der Gruppe zu Fuß ab Zehn Mitglieder der Wandergruppe wurden in der Bad Reichenhaller Bergrettungswache von zwei Beratern des Kriseninterventionsdienstes (KID) der Bergwacht betreut „Die größte Lücke ist aber am heimischen Esstisch entstanden.“ Dort waren am Donnerstag (10 Oktober) bereits über 12.000 Euro zusammengekommen Als Initiator werden hier die „Bergfreunde Giesen“ genannt dahinter steckt laut t-online ein Berliner Neonazi Bei einer anderen Spendenseite auf gofuondme waren es über 7000 Euro der laut Indymedia 2015 an einem Aufmarsch zum Gedenken an Rudolph Hess des III Dieser Inhalt"+t(a)+"kann aufgrund Ihrer Datenschutz-Einstellungen nicht geladen werden According to an exclusive report published by CORRECTIV the weekly newspaper Zeit and public broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk a lawyer representing an abuse victim from Bavaria filed a lawsuit last weekend in the Traunstein Regional Court against Peter H. as well as several church officials and institutions represented by Vicar General Christoph Klingan and former Pope Benedict XVI allegedly sexually abused several children and youth in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising Senior church officials affiliated with Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger at the time accepted the pedophile priest Peter H in 1980 into the archdiocese and didn’t prevent his contact with young people had already been discovered committing sexual assault in the city of Essen on several occasions with a “basic narcissistic disorder with pederasty and exhibitionism.” In 1986 was sentenced to probation for the abuse of several juveniles Because the statute of limitations has passed for most of the acts of abuse Berlin criminal defense attorney Andreas Schulz is resorting to a legal trick: He has filed an action for a declaratory judgement Although it may not result in criminal prosecution it could possibly deliver a declaration of the church’s guilt His client is hoping that a secular court will determine that H. sexually assaulted him and is therefore “obligated to compensate him for the damage,” according to the 69-page complaint “His aim is also to have a secular court determine culpability for Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in his parish work from his position of responsibility even though the archdiocese of Munich and Freising were aware of H.’s sexual assaults.” The complaint alleges that Ratzinger “had knowledge of all the circumstances and countenanced the fact that this priest was a repeat offender.” The evidence is overwhelming in the case of Peter H Internal church proceedings established the priest’s culpability in 2016 sexually abused several teenagers in the 1990s The decree also discusses a breach of duty by the church superiors responsible at the time A January 2022 report on abuse in the Munich diocese also recognized the shared culpability of church superiors within the archdiocese The plaintiff is using the decree and the January abuse report as the basis for taking action against the former pope as well as against Cardinal Friedrich Wetter The question as to whether the pope emeritus can be held responsible for the assaults is disputed Experts believe the lawsuit has a chance if the church refrains from invoking the statute of limitations as it has already done in the internal church proceedings Zeit and Bayerischer Rundfunk that he did not intend to file a petition invoking the statute of limitations A spokesperson for the Archdiocesan Ordinariate in Munich asked for understanding “that the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising does not comment on ongoing legal proceedings.” The pope emeritus had not responded to a request for comment by the time our article went to press the church would not be ordered to pay damages but it could come under further pressure to reconsider its stance on paying compensation to victims of abuse You can read the full research on the lawsuit in German at at this link.

Such were his concerns about the priest’s pedophilic tendencies that Dr Huth said he set three conditions when he started treating Father H: that he shouldn’t be allowed to work with children (because he allegedly committed the acts of abuse when he was drunk) someone who could supervise him at all times The doctor said he made these requirements clear to church officials during a number of conversations including an auxiliary bishop in the archdiocese of Munich and Freising never fulfilled these conditions,” says Huth who treated him in group therapy sessions from 1980 to 1992 was convicted of sexually abusing minors in 1986 Afer receiving an 18-month suspended prison sentence and paying a fine But Huth says the priest told the group during therapy sessions that he operated in the parish and kept away from children “He was a good liar,” says Huth (How damaged is the Papacy amid the sex scandal in Catholic Europe?) Huth says he received a call from a church official who told him that Father H the priest worked as a curate and parish administrator in the picturesque Bavarian town of Garching an der Alz where he had regular contact with children and had supervised 150 altar-boys The official had stumbled across old files which raised alarm bells “I was horrified as there was no way this man should have been near children,” Dr transferred to the Bavarian spa town of Bad Tölz where he was put in charge of counselling services for tourists and visitors the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung revealed the priest’s history of sexual abuse The Archdiocese of Munich and Freising admitted that he’d breached a church order banning him from working with children or youths and said in a statement that “serious mistakes” were made in the 1980s stepped down after the archdiocese said he assumed responsibility for “grave errors.” Germany’s sexual abuse scandal first broke in January when it was alleged that two former priests molested pupils at Berlin’s Jesuit school dozens of people have come forward with allegations of sexual abuse levelled against former priests The scandal has even spread to the famous Regensburg Cathedral choir — which was led by the Pope’s brother Georg Ratzinger for 30 years — and there’ve been up to a hundred allegations of abuse at a boarding school run by Benedictine monks in Ettal Germany’s Catholic Church has pulled out all the stops to convince parishioners that it’s doing everything to prevent such abuse cases from happening again It is setting up a nationwide hotline for victims of abuse on March 30 and has pledged to step up preventive measures and work closely with state prosecutors While there’s been feverish speculation in the German media about the Pope’s role in the Father H affair Huth says he thinks that Archbishop Ratzinger did not know about the case simply because it seems unlikely that he’d be aware of everything that happened in his diocese But the psychiatrist criticised church officials for turning a blind eye to the priest’s history of abuse by not launching a thorough investigation “Senior figures in the Catholic Church covered up the allegations of abuse in order to protect Father H and the church’s image,” Dr ‘unworldly’ attitude towards issues of sexuality.” See pictures of Obama meeting Pope Benedict XVI.

Von Anfang 1994 nach der Haftentlassung bis zu dem Moment als Zlof im Mai 1997 in London mit einem Großteil des Lösegelds der Polizei in die Falle ging beschatteten Geißdörfer und seine Leute den Erpresser dass Zlof Leute angesprochen habe: "Ihr seid von der Polizei." Und immer wieder konnte er sich der Beobachtung entziehen Die technischen Möglichkeiten etwa der Handyüberwachung gab es vor 20 Jahren nicht da sei das "polizeilich noch eine ganz andere Welt" gewesen Geißdörfer war damals junger Landpolizist in Schleißheim. Der Entführer müsse mit seinem Opfer auf dem Weg von Freising nach München zwangsläufig auch durch seinen damaligen Bezirk gefahren sein 1984 kam Geißdörfer dann zum Landeskriminalamt Schon während Zlofs Haftzeit sei dort "Dauerthema" gewesen Rund um die Uhr wurde Zlof nach der Entlassung beschattet als die registrierten Scheine des Lösegelds aus dem Verkehr gezogen werden sollten In einer Palette mit Münzalben ließ der Erpresser das Geld per Spedition nach London bringen wo er es auf einem Parkplatz "immer unter Beobachtung" auspackte die heißen Scheine gegen 75 Prozent des Nennwerts los zu werden und so sei er schließlich Scotland Yard in die Falle gegangen "Wir hätten das aber auch ohne die geschafft" Dass Zlof zuvor seine Story samt Verrat des Lösegeldverstecks Magazinen für viel Geld anbot Dass man den Täter dann samt dem Rest des Lösegelds schnappte "Für Richard" - der Ex-Polizist und das Entführungsopfer sind längst Freunde - "und auch für die Justiz." Immer wieder war von einem möglichen Fehlurteil und einem unschuldig hinter Gitter gebrachten Menschen die Rede gewesen während der Entführer sich mit dem Lösegeld "ein lustiges Leben" mache der auch mit dem Fall Ursula Hermann sowie mit dem des Auftragskillers Giorgio Basile betraut war dann doch kurz seine Gelassenheit auf und spricht von einem "arroganten und menschenverachtenden Täter" Als Zlof noch einen Imbissstand in München betrieben habe um sich dann mit einem "Bezahlt ist schon" zu verabschieden In anspruchsvollen Berufsfeldern im Stellenmarkt der SZ. .css-5x0u19{-webkit-text-decoration:none;text-decoration:none;}Gutscheine.css-pcxqtt{border:0;clip:rect(0 0 0 0);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;white-space:nowrap;width:1px;}: Click 'OK' then 'Allow' to enable notifications Healthcare has come on leaps and bounds in the last few decades but a 400-year-old prosthetic discovered on a skeleton proves that not all of our ideas are new Admittedly the materials and the process used to attach the prosthetic were probably a little less sterile and a little more painful a few hundred years ago, but the creation of a substitute hand is impressive all the same The discovery of the prosthetic was made during pipeline work in a grave in the Bavarian town of Freising, near the parish church of St George in Germany Images released by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Protection show a skeleton lying in the ground with its arms crossed in front of its body but it was the remains of the left hand in particular that caught the attention of archeologists the office described the find as 'something special' the prosthetic was still attached to the remains of the left hand and is believed to have once been covered with leather Inspection of the skeleton indicates that the fingers were amputated when their owner was still alive Dr Walter Irlinger, head of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Protection explained that the prosthetic added four fingers to the owner's amputated hand ring and little fingers are individually formed from sheet metal and are immobile," he said "The finger replicas lie parallel to each other Presumably the prosthesis was made with straps [to be tied] on the stump of the hand." The remains of gauze-like cloth found inside the prosthetic are believed to have acted as a cushion to protect the remains of the hand Analysis of the remains led the archaeologists to believe that they belonged to a man who lived sometime between 1450 and 1620 he is thought to have been aged between 30 and 50 when he died His death came around a time when there was a higher need for amputations and demand for prosthetic technology due to conflict across Central Europe Similar prosthetics have previously been discovered around Europe including both static and mechanical styles Though the discovery in Freising isn't the most complex example of prosthesis uncovered it indicates that doctors were already thinking at that time about how they could make life easier for amputees Topics: Science, World News, Health Emily Brown is UNILAD Editorial Lead at LADbible Group She first began delivering news when she was just 11 years old - with a paper route - before graduating with a BA Hons in English Language in the Media from Lancaster University Emily joined UNILAD in 2018 to cover breaking news commissioning and writing human interest stories from across the globe before moving to the role of Editorial Lead Emily now works alongside the UNILAD Editor to ensure the page delivers accurate
