gleusdorf castle: a borderline case for the authorities

The authorities have been investigating the gleusdorf case for two years. The information about inadequate and unworthy care of residents of the senior residence love the authorities after a report of the french day in september 2016 for the first time become bright-eyed.

A police raid followed, including arrests on suspicion of manslaughter, which in the meantime is no longer upheld due to an expert opinion. However, there are still accusations of mistreatment of the warded as well as other crimes, which have recently been fueled by recent incidents and testimonies of completely new witnesses.

Gleusdorf senior citizens’ residence: investigation continues after dubious death traps

The extent of the proceedings, which made headlines throughout germany, can be seen from the number of witnesses who have since come forward. The files are loaded box by box. In the FT editorial office alone, dozens of informants came forward from all over germany – from hanover to berlin and suhl to schweinfurt. But the masses involved live in the region, in the counties of habberge, bamberg, lichtenfels, coburg, hildburghausen and sonneberg.

The scandal surrounding the castle gleusdorf, about which the bildzeitung with "horror nursing home" headline is a borderline case, proverbial. Situated east of the itz, the town only belongs to lower franconia because another branch of the itz once flowed around the former pleasure palace of the abbot of banz monastery.

Many authorities involved

This peripheral location, far away from the district town of habfurt, created a very special constellation for the control and processing of the case.

Witness statements and interrogations at police stations in ebern, bamberg, schweinfurt, coburg, lichtenfels, and hildburghausen. The AOK inspectors come from coburg on behalf of the medical service of the health insurance fund (mdk), the home inspectors from habfurt.

The health authorities in bamberg and habfurt are involved, as are district courts throughout northern bavaria, which, by means of judicial admissions, take care of the bulk of the clientele among the home residents, which includes alcoholics who have been broken down, but also people infected with HIV and even a convicted murderer. All under care standing.

Labor courts are also frequently involved in the management of schloss gleusdorf. Again and again employees leave in discord, or "are left". The labor courts in bamberg, schweinfurt and wurzburg confirmed 111 cases to our newspaper for the years from 2000 to 2016. The number has continued to rise since then.

The legal representative of an ex-employee recently even spoke of "more than 200 cases", as he also claims to have heard about trials in coburg and bayreuth. What is certain is that a number of cases have now been added to the list, as not all employees wanted to support the management and care model on the basis of moral conviction and professional ethics. A complex case that challenges the authorities on many levels, as can be seen from the current example of a notifiable disease that occurred in the home and its treatment.

With the "sundowner – cultural picnic" series of events in hochstadt’s wave outdoor pool the city was named one of the ten most innovative music venues in the region in corona times by the VR-bank erlangen hochstadt herzogenaurach. This is what susanne bayer from the city administration communicates.

On six sunday evenings in the summer, the cultural management of the town of hochstadt, under the direction of susanne bayer, offered live music at family-friendly prices in the unmistakably picturesque setting of hochstadt’s open-air wave pool (we reported). From classical music to vocal and wind ensembles to rock and party music, there was something for many tastes. Demand was correspondingly high, and four events were sold out long beforehand. One of the meetings, which had to be cancelled due to rain, was made up for. The organizing team proved that demanding musical performances are possible even under corona conditions.

This resourcefulness and commitment was recognized by the VR-bank erlangen hochstadt herzogenaurach with its music challenge award "we listen to the region, but with corona many things are different!".

In explaining the reasons for the visit, those responsible wrote: "corona has shown us all that so many things in life that seemed important to us are ultimately of secondary importance. The crisis has taught us what really counts in life: health, family, friends and joy. Corona has also shown us what we all sorely miss. Culture, music, events and, of course, the many artists and cultural workers who enrich our lives."

Vattenfall profit rises - Germany remains rough market

The swedish energy group vattenfall achieved a net increase of almost 8 percent in the first half of 2019. Profit in the first six months of the year was 7.7 billion kroner (730.6 million euros), he said.

Net sales rose to 84.2 billion kronor from 75 billion kronor in the first half of 2018, the company announced friday in solna, near stockholm. The swedish energy group's earnings before interest and taxes, adjusted for non-recurring items, were 13.3 billion swedish kronor in the first half of 2019, up 1.3 percent on the same period of the previous year.

"You can say that we have a very stable development," vattenfall CEO magnus hall told the german press agency. The storm "alfrida" caused costs of almost one billion crowns for vattenfall at the beginning of the year. However, this and weaker sales figures have been offset by better results in electricity production. "This is more or less balancing out compared to the previous year," hall said.

Vattenfall has set itself the goal of generating electricity and heat without the use of fossil fuels within one generation. This strategy seems to be bearing fruit: in 2017, the swedes were in the black for the first time in four years, and the state-owned company also posted positive results in 2018.

Offshore wind power is one of the most important growth areas for the company, hall explained. Just a week ago the group won the contract for the second section of the dutch wind farm hollandse kust zuid. "This is an important signal of where we are heading," hall told dpa.

Germany remains the largest market in sales and also a very exciting market for the state-owned company, hall said. At the end of 2018, vattenfall had more than 3.2 million private customers in germany in addition to its business customers, accounting for almost half of the total number of private customers, according to the company's annual report. The number of german customers is growing, says hall.

But not everything is running smoothly in the federal republic. The dispute over the so-called residual electricity volume for the krummel nuclear power plant in geesthacht in schleswig-holstein, which was shut down in 2011, remains unclear. The electricity company preussenelektra wants the power plant operating company, which is jointly owned with vattenfall, to transfer half of the remaining electricity without compensation to it for use at the grohnde nuclear power plant (lower saxony). Vattenfall wants to see money. An initial ruling by the hamburg district court is expected on 29 june. August to be announced.

There is also a dispute in berlin: vattenfall has lodged an appeal against the senate's decision at the beginning of march to award its competitor berlin energie the contract to operate berlin's electricity network. Vattenfall has proposed a cooperation model to the city, hall said. "We want to be a good partner for the city of Berlin."
