For all readersMore and more details are becoming clear about what went wrong in Leipzig on Saturday, November 7th. In a statement, several Leipzig civil rights activists now ask: “Who is responsible for irresponsible behavior?” A question that is addressed directly to all those officials who are responsible for what happened around the “lateral thinker” demonstration were. Because apparently they have forgotten that they have to protect our democracy first and foremost.-

For all readersOn Monday, November 9th, the Saxon Court of Auditors (SRH) published its annual report. One in which the Saxon housekeeping was once again harshly criticized. And it wasn’t just about the credit authorizations to deal with the corona crisis. Even if Dirk Panter, chairman of the SPD parliamentary group in the Saxon state parliament and spokesman for budget policy, interpreted it that way at first glance. First of all, Corona has to be overcome. –

For all readersThe “Lockdown Light” caught several important festivals in Leipzig offhand. This also includes the “Ensemble Festival for Current Music”, which was to take place for the first time this year. The cancellation of all public performances is particularly bitter. The festival organizers had already planned some online because of Corona. Now the entire festival will take place online.-

For all readersWe live in a time that rewards recklessness and a lack of empathy. At least from a market economy perspective. And from the point of view of the radicalizers. But actually humans need the ability to understand others in order to survive. It is a valuable gift in complicated situations, but one that also needs a balance between two different skills. A research result from Leipzig.-

For all readersVoices like those Fritz Wunderlich had are really extremely rare. So rare that even decades later they still inspire people with really keen ears. The lyric tenor died in 1966, shortly before his 36th birthday. But numerous recordings of the songs and opera parts sung by him still allow us to relive how his singing must have affected his musical contemporaries.-

For all readersThe majority of them came to Leipzig like a traveling circus, built a stage in the heart of the city thanks to a (still unfounded) decision of the Bautzen Higher Administrative Court and left it largely empty of content. Since Saturday, “lateral thinking” has been synonymous with the marginal participation of the people of Leipzig itself, for a traveling gathering of brahmin worshipers, esoteric spinners, “1989 actors” from Swabia and a Uwe Steimle stuck in the GDR as Erich Honecker (with mask) become. And they left a lot of anger, not least because of the “storming” of the ring together with around 300 organized neo-Nazis.-

For all readersIn October, the Urban Development and Building Department presented the submission for the development plan no. 455 “Special area Gleisdreieck – Arno-Nitzsche-Straße”, practically parallel to the city council discussions about the traffic connection of the future Stadtwerke headquarters on the other side of the S-Bahn Tracks. And lo and behold: Something was missing from the installation decision. You can’t plan the future cultural center without S-Bahn and bike connections.-

For all readersIt goes on and on. What actually has to be started quickly is always stuck in lengthy procedures. The city of Leipzig actually wants to build inexpensive living space in the Kiebitzmark. The development plan should have been available in summer. But there was nothing. And not only the SPD parliamentary group, which is particularly committed to the project, is now applying for a fairly comprehensive zoning plan for the entire area up to the B6.-

For all readersNovember 9th has burned itself into the minds of Germans. And that does not mean the opening of the Wall, but November 9, 1938, when the German National Socialists plundered and destroyed the shops of Jewish citizens in a concerted action and set fire to synagogues in many cities. As a result, almost all Jews were expropriated, including in Leipzig. Occasion for a special exhibition in Georg-Schwarz-Straße.-

As soon as it is autumn, everyone is blowing and puffing again, whatever the devices produce. Now the eco-lion takes a clear stand against this loud and unhealthy nonsense.-

For all readersWe finally have to think about the future again. What should it look like? What can it look like? What can a human society look like in which people do not smash each other’s skulls because ever larger parts of the earth have been destroyed and bled to death? The concept work Neue Ökonomie e. V. invited to the workshop in 2019. This book is the result.-

For all readersParts of the Saxon SPD and Greens and thus the coalition partner of the Saxon CDU openly demand the resignation of Interior Minister Roland Wöller (CDU). You give him the political responsibility for the riots after a “lateral thinking” rally on Saturday evening in Leipzig. One of the signatories of a letter is the Leipzig SPD chairman Holger Mann. Wöller himself described the meeting today in a brief statement as “peaceful”.-
