Wycombe Wanderers have donated 50 winter coats to a community foundation associated with local football in Kelkheim
which is twinned with the town of High Wycombe
The shipment was arranged by the club’s WorldWide Wanderers Phenomenon arm
which seeks to develop networks of Chairboys fans across the planet and earlier this year arranged – with striker Uche Ikpeazu – a delivery of kit to a Ugandan children’s charity.Harry Gadd
said: “There is a rapidly growing number of Wycombe Wanderers supporter groups across the globe
and one particular focus for us is developing relationships between the club
and parts of the world with which Wycombe has had a connection throughout history.“It’s been fascinating learning about the twinning arrangement between the two towns
and we hope that the young footballers in Kelkheim will enjoy wearing the Wycombe Wanderers badge and learning more about this proud Championship football club 500 miles away.”Situated 10km west of Frankfurt
Kelkheim has been twinned with High Wycombe for 35 years
and share a history of furniture manufacture
The twinning agreement of 1985 declared that the arrangement would “maintain permanent bonds between the two municipalities
promoting exchanges of all kinds between inhabitants with the aim of fostering the true spirit of European brotherhood.”

The handover took place at the Harley factory in Frankfurt am Main
The Iron 1200 is worth around 11,000 euros
In April he watched the first four episodes of “Chicken's Bike Farm” on DMAX with growing enthusiasm and was excited when Christoph “Chicken” Repp from Harley-Davidson Würzburg Village and his 35-person team created a cream-white bike for the Pope
presented his latest customs in Geiselwind
prepared a machine for Pitt's wall of death and met Bill Davidson in Faak
took part in the big DMAX and Harley-Davidson competition
he had already taken part in many raffles - and so far he had only won something: a yoga book for children
It really had to be true - the first prize was his: a Harley-Davidson Iron 1200 worth around 11,000 euros
The 59-year-old retail salesman made a pilgrimage to Frankfurt am Main to the Harley Factory
the authorized dealer for the Hesse metropolis and its surrounding area
V-twin freak and classic car specialist – was not only the head of the Frankfurt Harley-Davidson dealership for what felt like an eternity
he also had the honor of showing the lucky winner around and familiarizing him with the history and present of the US brand and finally handing him the keys to his new motorcycle
was beaming from ear to ear when he received the 1200 mm iron
the deep blue machine is powered by an air-cooled 45-degree V-twin
Anyone who drives the roads of the Taunus will appreciate its 96 Newton meters
A powerful ABS braking system is installed so that the bike always comes to a safe stop
The machine recognizes its owner by the key fob
DMAX and Harley-Davidson congratulate and wish the lucky winner a safe journey
They won a beautiful machine there ❤️ Wish you luck
I love the two-wheeler and would like to ride it again
just as a mom with four children aged 3 to 11 and unfortunately there is no time for various excursions

Pinkbox Doughnuts has a variety of fun and flavorful doughnuts to show your love for Mom this upcoming Mother’s Day weekend. Available in shops only on Saturday, May 10 and Sunday, May 11, the Mother’s Day menu of doughnuts includes:
A rather rare sight because the garden dormouse is a nocturnal animal
information that came to light through the research work
Kelkheim (ju) – Susanne Steib beams all over her face when she talks about the small
The manager for nature conservation projects at BUND knows that the little dormouse is in danger
The biggest fan is Mayor Albrecht Kündiger
who wants to make his city the city of garden dormice
The first step in this direction was an exhibition in the town hall
interested parties could go on the „search for traces of the garden dormouse“
The small exhibition on the project of the same name by the BUND
the Justus Liebig University Gießen and the Senckenberg Society for Nature Research informed about the garden dormouse
and the research methods to get to the bottom of the masked dormouse and its way of life
on the Red List he is listed in the category „endangered“
The populations of the garden dormouse have declined massively in recent decades
and orchards as well as high altitudes of some low mountain ranges
such as the high spruce forests in the Harz or in the Bavarian Forest
many occurrences have been lost in the last 100 years
The causes were hitherto completely unclear
„the little dormouse is little known and therefore little researched,“ says Susanne Steib
handed over to Susanne Steib a deceased garden dormouse
a team of nature conservation and science formed to go for the search of traces
The goal: the conservation of garden dormouse populations in a large part of its German distribution area
to which Kelkheim and the Rhine-Main area belong
food analyses will also be carried out in Hesse
telemetry of individual animals will be taken
dead dormice found will be examined for diseases and parasites
the temperature profile in hibernation quarters will be observed and hair samples will be analysed genetically
Volunteer citizen scientists were also involved in the research work
the research work would not have been possible,“ confirms Steib
This was the only way to investigate all conceivable areas playing a role in the disappearance of the garden dormouse.“ Very important are the reports about sightings of the animals
The special commission „SOKO garden dormouse“ began its work
under meldestelle.gartenschlaefer.de people could report sightings
4,000 verified sightings have been collected throughout Germany
there were several sightings which interestingly decreased in the direction of Fischbach
but the rodent was discovered also in Königstein and Kronberg
In addition to the sightings by the „citizen scientists“
science dealt extensively with the dormouse
Over 200 dead garden dormice were dissected and examined; with the help of faecal collections over a period of three years
it was possible to determine what the garden dormouse eats and how contaminated its food is
Teeth of the dead finds were cut open in order to determine the age of the animals on the basis of the annual rings
since it is still not possible to say for sure how old the rodents can become in the wild
Susanne Steib explained to the interested audience the approach of the research and presented initial results
it was found that the adaptable garden dormouse finds fewer and fewer suitable habitats
Wiesbaden is the secret capital of the garden dormouse
here the rodent has even conquered the main station as a habitat for itself
The natural habitat of forests has long since changed considerably due to intensified forestry and the consequences of climate change
„Although there is currently a rethinking in dealing with the forest
has ensured that our little friend can no longer find a home here,“ says the expert
The research had shown that the garden dormouse is not a food despiser
„We gained this insight from the collected faecal samples
They revealed a lot about the feeding behaviour of the little guy,“ says Susanne Steib
The use of rat poisons and pesticides also has a direct impact on the population
„All of the dead finds examined showed considerable contamination with poisons
even those that are already banned today.“
the researchers and Steib were able to give an all-clear in one direction: There is no genetic impoverishment in the garden dormouse
but there are a variety of different genetic lines in Germany
And this even though the dormouse cannot cover long distances on its short legs
Even if the populations in the Rhine-Main area seem to be stable
the BUND promotes a wide variety of protective measures
They accordingly take care of all habitats and start protection campaigns in cities
retreats are created for the garden dormouse by planting hedges
the care of orchards or specifically by offering nesting boxes in which the rodent can raise its young and hibernate
It is important to Susanne Steib that everyone is involved in these processes: from allotment garden associations to forest owners
from pest controllers to nature conservation authorities
This starts with covering the rain barrel in the garden
creating natural hiding places such as piles of stones
taking the small rodent into account when designing cities and cultural landscapes,“ says Steib
Because this helps not only the garden dormouse
but its entire habitat with all species living within

a phenomenon particularly noticeable within the South Korean tyre maker’s European operation
the company has set up a new production facility in the Czech Republic and a European headquarters in Germany as part of its ‘Global Nexen’ strategy
This expansion is occurring parallel to similar growth in Korea and the USA
Other far-reaching changes have been made in the areas of sales
Nexen Tire’s vice president Europe Central & East
says these changes reflect the company’s “new aspirations” and will propel Nexen into the global tyre making top ten
During a recent visit to Nexen’s European headquarters in Kelkheim
we learned more about the path the company has taken in recent years and where it is today
Back when Nexen Tire opened its first European branch office in Eschborn (also near Frankfurt) in 2008
few could foresee the way the company would grow
Nexen supplies original equipment tyres to Porsche and is an official partner of Manchester City F.C
where production is currently being ramped up following its entry into operation last summer
The tyre maker remains on schedule to reach its full first-phase production capacity of five to six million tyres per annum
the plan outlined at the factory’s inauguration calls for capacity to further increase to 12 million tyres a year
This capacity will not only meet growing demand within Europe’s replacement tyre market
but also from OEM customers within the region
While the Czech facility isn’t yet supplying original equipment tyres to customers in Europe
the first approval from a vehicle manufacturer is expected in the coming year
Gulow stresses that sales growth will primarily be driven by tyres “developed and produced in and for Europe.”
R&D capacities have expanded in parallel to production in the year or so since the Žatec plant came on stream
When Nexen Tire first set up its NETC (Nexen European Technical Center) in 2011
the office was little more than a contact point between local tyre markets and the central R&D facility in South Korea
Today the R&D centre at Nexen’s European headquarters in Kelkheim rivals its facility in Seoul
and Nexen Tire also operates a comprehensive R&D centre in the USA
Theoretical development work performed in Kelkheim is supported by a team at the Žatec site
Locating both the theoretical and practical elements of tyre development within the same facility would arguably have been a more advantageous arrangement for Nexen
however the tyre maker decided not to relocate its R&D team to the Czech Republic so not to lose the close contact its experienced workforce in Germany maintains with important customers
particularly those within the automotive industry
Further evidence of Nexen Tire Europe’s intention to grow original equipment business can be seen in the appointment of Edwin van der Stad as vice president Europe OE in March
Van der Stad brings 30 years of experience in tyre development and the original equipment tyre business to his new role
in which he reports directly to John Bosco Kim
The new vice president of OE for Europe is working to build on Nexen’s existing OE coups
including its tyre supply for the Porsche Cayenne in South Korea since 2016 and for the Porsche Macan since 2017
Nexen Tire has secured a place for itself within the quality or tier 2 segment of the tyre market
but Peter Gulow stresses that “our tyres have long offered the properties of a tier 1 manufacturer.” Gulow refers not only to the “good test results” that Nexen tyres have gained in independent comparative evaluations
but also opines that they offer the “the best price-performance ratio on the market.” Further improving the range’s positioning and branding has nonetheless been important as it’s primarily brands with the “strongest price-performance” ratio that are best placed to succeed against the tyre majors’ second and third brands
Chances here are of course improved through demand-driven campaigns
motorsport engagements and football sponsorship
such as with English Premier League club Manchester City
Nexen Tire’s management team has attached particular importance to marketing and its diversification
We’ve already mentioned original equipment as an increasingly relevant sales channel
Manufacturers who want to gain a foothold in Europe typically seek access to the market through cooperation with a handful of important wholesale customers
That was and remains no different for Nexen Tire
and major European customers are still accorded “outstanding importance.”
But while business with large customers in Europe continues to primarily be ‘order to function’ – classic pre-order production and container deliveries – in recent times this business model has been supplemented by direct business with retailers
Nexen Tire Europe has commissioned Zufall Logistics to provide the services that drive its retail business
and here the logistician draws upon experience gained working with other major tyre manufacturers
It offers Nexen storage space for up to a quarter-million car tyres at the 9,000 square metre tyre warehouse it opened in central Germany last year
and Nexen itself also has a block storage facility in the area
Peter Gulow shares that new logistics capacities enable Nexen to “deliver even faster” and will continue to provide benefits going forwards

Growth within Nexen Tire Europe’s retail business has been supplemented by the launch of a customer loyalty programme
The Nexen Point programme has grown since its launch more than three years ago; Ilhan Kurban
shares that more than 650 Nexen Point partners can now be found across Europe
Although this customer loyalty programme is structured as a loose agreement between retailer and manufacturer
Gulow notes that it nevertheless includes agreements on necessary target volumes
The vice president for Europe Central & East explains that the benefits for partners who take higher volumes with Nexen range from simple product presentations in the showroom to extensive signage in and around their business
The tyre maker offers its partners three levels of support packages as part of its programme
Further support for Nexen Tire Europe’s retail business came last autumn with the launch of its newly-developed B2B shop
The Nexen Tire B2B portal caters to small and large customers alike and provides an extensive range of functions as well as data on all business processes
No talk of Nexen Tire’s global realignment over recent years would be complete without mentioning its new European headquarters in Kelkheim
The company invested some 20 million euros to develop the facility
which combined its existing Eschborn and Höchst operations in Germany
the headquarters in Kelkheim now houses approximately 90 employees
And Peter Gulow adds that Nexen has no intention of slackening its pace of development; “Nexen will continue to expand in Europe.”
When the new RMV timetable comes into force on 15 December
especially on the route to and from the airport
Because that's when the new Gateway Gardens S-Bahn station will be included in the route
and after less than four years of construction
"The commissioning of the Gateway Gardens S-Bahn station is part of the largest infrastructure expansion in the RMV network for decades
The new station will enable passengers to travel to the metropolises of Frankfurt
Offenbach and Wiesbaden every 15 minutes and without having to change trains," said RMV Managing Director Prof
"With only five years from the award of the financing to completion
Gateway Gardens is the first construction project that I have accompanied in my professional life from the ground-breaking ceremony to the commissioning
The station is a prime example of rapid planning and construction and a model for all other major projects."
The connection of Gateway Gardens to the S-Bahn network is particularly advantageous for the approximately 19,000 employees in the district: the travel time by public transport from Frankfurt's main station is reduced to 10 minutes and the previously necessary change of trains is no longer necessary
For passengers in or from the direction of Wiesbaden
the journey time and about 5 minutes longer
15-minute cycle in the S-Bahn network is further expanded
is not the only change in the new timetable
After the S-Bahn frequency has already been steadily expanded in recent years
S-Bahn lines that run through the Frankfurt Citytunnel are now generally every 15 minutes from 6 a.m
the S6 now also runs at continuous hourly intervals on party nights from Friday to Saturday
Saturday to Sunday and before public holidays
Every 30 minutes between the Rhine-Main and Rhine-Neckar metropolitan regions
.The RegionalExpress line RE60 runs on the highly demanded axis between Frankfurt
on weekends at hourly intervals between the Rhine-Main and Rhine-Neckar metropolitan regions
With now 15 connections per weekday and 14 connections on weekends
this is almost double the previous number of trips on the RE60 between Darmstadt and Mannheim
Together with the hourly regional trains RB67/68
this results in an approximate half-hourly service between numerous cities
RheingauExpress: at hourly intervals from Eltville to Frankfurt
Through the cooperation of the transport companies VIAS and HLB
additional express connections of the RE9 will be possible
which was newly established in December 2018
will be supplemented by five additional trips in each direction at hourly intervals
The advantage for Rheingau commuters: the RE9 runs from Eltville to Frankfurt without stopping at Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof
This results in a travel time saving of 10 minutes compared to the Rheingau line RB10
the range of services will also be expanded so that all trips of the RheingauExpress' will have connections in Niederwalluf to and from Bad Schwalbach
Also on the bus line 171 there are new connections in Eltville to Geisenheim in the afternoon
But the RB10 also runs more frequently: there are additional trips in the morning and afternoon between Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof and Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof
as well as an additional late-night trip between Frankfurt and the Rheingau in each direction on party nights
Many timetable extensions in the entire RMV area
individual additional trips will be offered on numerous lines
are the fast Sprinter trains on the RE50 Frankfurt - Fulda
more connections in the popular X-Bus network and more through trains to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof on both the Dreieich and Niddertalbahn
The RB21 between Wiesbaden and Niedernhausen will run every half hour during the day
buses will supplement the rail route of the RB12 between Kelkheim
Liederbach and Frankfurt Höchst during rush hours and run as far as Industriepark Höchst
The most important timetable changes in the regions in detail:
On all S-Bahn lines: Further extensions of the 15-minute frequency
All S-Bahn lines that run through the Frankfurt Citytunnel (S1-S6 as well as S8 and S9) are Monday to Friday in the period from 6 to 10 am and from 3 to 8 pm generally at 15-minute intervals
S1 (Wiesbaden - Frankfurt - Offenbach - Rödermark Ober-Roden): Extension of the 15-minute frequency in the morning from Hochheim and Rödermark Ober-Roden to Frankfurt until 10 am
there are new early morning departures Monday to Friday at 3:28 from Rödermark Ober-Roden to Wiesbaden and at 3:35 from Wiesbaden to Rödermark Ober-Roden
some trips that previously ended in Frankfurt Höchst will be extended to Hattersheim
S2 (Niedernhausen - Frankfurt - Offenbach - Dietzenbach): Extension of the 15-minute frequency in the morning from Niedernhausen and Dietzenbach to Frankfurt until 10 am
S3/S4 (Bad Soden / Kronberg - Frankfurt - Langen - Darmstadt): The first early morning trip at 3:45 a.m
from Bad Soden will continue to Darmstadt South in the future
the first early morning trip also departs Monday to Friday at 3:35 a.m
There is also a new late departure at 01:05 from Darmstadt Hbf to Frankfurt Hbf
which runs through to Kronberg on party nights
S5 (Friedrichsdorf - Bad Homburg - Frankfurt): The first train leaves Friedrichsdorf for Frankfurt Hbf as early as 03:38 during the week
there is a new trip from Frankfurt South to Bad Homburg on weekdays at 05:58
S6 (Friedberg - Bad Vilbel - Frankfurt): On the S-Bahn line S6
with the progressing construction work for the four-track expansion
a continuous hourly service can be established between Frankfurt and Friedberg on party nights
S8/S9 (Wiesbaden - Airport - Frankfurt - Offenbach - Hanau): The biggest change for lines S8 and S9 is the additional stop "Gateway Gardens"
which will be served around the clock as well
The travel times of the S-Bahns between Wiesbaden and the airport will be shifted by about 2 to 4 minutes as a result
the S8 will in future also run from Offenbach Ost to Hanau until 8 p.m
so that there will be a 15-minute interval here together with the S9
the nightly half-hourly frequency of the S8 between Frankfurt and the airport will be extended to Kelsterbach
Commissioning new station Gateway Gardens
The new S-Bahn stop Frankfurt-Gateway Gardens not only affects the S8 and S9
but also the entire regional train service running south of the Mainz
Although the regional trains do not stop at Gateway Gardens
timetable adjustments are necessary due to the new route
there will be longer journey times in the direction of Rhineland-Palatinate
RE2/RE3 (Koblenz / Saarbrücken - Mainz - Airport - Frankfurt): In future
the trains of line RE3 (Saarbrücken - Frankfurt) will run together with the trains of line RE2 (Koblenz - Mainz - Airport - Frankfurt) at hourly intervals between Frankfurt Hbf and Mainz Hbf with additional stops in Frankfurt-Niederrad
Mainz-Bischofsheim and Mainz-Römisches Theater
At the station Mainz-Römisches Theater there is a connection to the S-Bahn Rhein-Neckar direction Worms
RE9 "RheingauExpress" (Eltville - Frankfurt): the express line brings passengers from Eltville
Schierstein and Biebrich to Frankfurt and back much more frequently on Mondays to Fridays without stopping at Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof: in future
at hourly intervals between the Rheingau and Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof
The number of journeys thus increases from four to 14 journeys a day and the first journey starts at 5.45 a.m
The extensive expansion is made possible by the support of the HLB
which is taking over six of the additional trips
In order to also connect the surrounding communities well to the additional trips
the service of the X-Bus line X79 (Bad Schwalbach - Walluf) and line 171 (Rüdesheim - Eltville) will be expanded accordingly
RB10 "RheingauLinie" (Neuwied - Rüdesheim - Wiesbaden - Frankfurt): In the morning and in the afternoon
there are more additional trips with trip extension to Frankfurt main station
In the late traffic there is in the party nights (Fr/Sa
Sa/Su and before holidays) from and to Frankfurt around midnight in each case an additional late trip
RB12 "Königsteiner Bahn" (Königstein - Frankfurt): a new bus service supplements the rail route between Kelkheim
Liederbach and Frankfurt Höchst on Mondays to Fridays between 06:30 and 10 and between 15:30 and 19
thus creating additional capacity at short notice and relieving the rail
which is an improvement especially for workers employed there
Passengers heading to Frankfurt city centre can change to the S-Bahn at Frankfurt-Höchst
RB15 "Taunusbahn" (Grävenwiesbach - Bad Homburg): Monday to Friday
a new early morning service from Grävenwiesbach at 04:23 to Bad Homburg and from Bad Homburg at 05:36 to Grävenwiesbach
RB16 (Friedberg - Friedrichsdorf): The half-hourly service will be extended by one hour until 20:00 on Mondays to Fridays
RB34 "Niddertalbahn" (Glauburg-Stockheim - Bad Vilbel - Frankfurt): Monday to Friday afternoons
several trips to and from Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof will be extended
This increases the number of direct connections to Frankfurt from 97 weekly to 119 connections
RB21 "Ländchesbahn" (Wiesbaden - Niedernhausen - Limburg): Runs Monday to Friday during the day continuously at half-hourly intervals between Niedernhausen and Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof
there is a new early morning service from Niedernhausen with a connection to the first S2 train coming from Frankfurt
there is another direct connection from Limburg in the evening at 18:48 to Wiesbaden
RB45 "Lahntalbahn" (Limburg - Gießen): Now runs on Sundays and public holidays all year round from morning to evening at hourly intervals
RB90 "Oberwesterwaldbahn" (Altenkirchen - Westerburg - Limburg): Improvements in connections can be achieved through an adjusted timetable on a transitional basis until the modernisation work is completed
The timetable will be revised in such a way that on Mondays to Fridays there will be an almost hourly service with continuous journeys to Altenkirchen and every two hours to Au(Sieg)
sometimes long waiting times in Westerburg will be eliminated
the departure times shift in both directions by one hour with also continuous connections to Altenkirchen
RE30 "Main-Weser-Bahn" (Kassel - Marburg - Gießen - Frankfurt): Monday to Friday
picking up connections from the early morning RB42 and RB94 services
this train swaps times with the Mittelhessen-Express RB40/41
the 18:01 journey from Frankfurt is also extended to Marburg
when a particularly large number of weekend commuters are on the move
a new journey starts from Marburg at 17:10 to Frankfurt
the 16:01 journey from Frankfurt to Marburg will be extended
and a new 20:01 journey from Frankfurt to Giessen will be added
the trains now run with seven instead of six cars
RB42 "Burgwaldbahn" (Frankenberg - Marburg): Now runs on Sundays and holidays from morning to evening at hourly intervals
RB45 "Vogelsbergbahn" (Gießen - Fulda): On Sundays and public holidays
passengers will be able to travel one hour earlier from Alsfeld in the direction of Gießen and from Gießen in the direction of Fulda
RB46 "Lahn-Kinzig-Bahn" (Gießen - Nidda - Gelnhausen): Now runs all year round
from morning to evening at hourly intervals along the entire route
RB48 "Horlofftalbahn" (Nidda - Friedberg): In the future
it will run on Sundays and public holidays from midday to evening at hourly intervals
RB49 (Friedberg - Hanau): One new trip each on party nights from Gießen at 22:35 to Hanau Hbf and from Hanau Hbf at 00:07 to Friedberg
RB94 "Obere Lahntalbahn" (Erndtebrück - Bad Laasphe - Marburg): Extension of four Saturday trips beyond Erndtebrück to Siegen and Betzdorf as well as a new trip on Saturdays at 19:24 from Marburg to Bad Laasphe
RB45 "Vogelsbergbahn" (Gießen - Fulda): Mondays to Fridays an additional trip at 15:58 from Fulda to Alsfeld
RE50 "Kinzigtalbahn" (Bad Hersfeld - Fulda - Schlüchtern - Hanau - Frankfurt): The fast Sprinter trains will run continuously from Frankfurt to Bad Hersfeld and partly to Bebra
New is an additional trip in the morning from Frankfurt (departure 08:18) and in the afternoon from Bad Hersfeld (departure 14:56) as well as two trips in each direction on weekends
RB56 "Kahlgrundbahn" (Schöllkrippen - Kahl - Hanau): Continuous hourly service between Schöllkrippen and Hanau in the evening until 10 pm and on weekends
RB58/RE59 "Main-Spessart-Bahn" (Laufach - Aschaffenburg - Hanau - Frankfurt): Monday to Saturday
most trips run from Aschaffenburg via Flughafen Fernbahnhof to Rüsselsheim Opelwerk (instead of only to Frankfurt Süd as before)
