Mandatory wearing of masks on public transport until the end of January

Unlike in Bavaria, for example, masks must continue to be worn on buses and trains in Baden-Württemberg. The state government has extended the corresponding Corona regulation until 31 January 2023. Minister President Winfried Kretschmann justified this with more travellers in local public transport (ÖPNV) around Christmas.

More child benefit from 2023

Food and especially energy have become significantly more expensive. This is a burden on families in particular. That is why child benefit will be increased from January 2023. It will increase to 250 euros per child as of 1 January. The Bundestag and the Bundesrat have agreed to this.

Long wait for housing benefit

“More housing benefit for more people.” This is what the Bundestag and the Bundesrat decided. From January 2023, around two million households—instead of 600,000 households so far—are to receive housing benefit. The housing allowance is to be increased by an average of 190 euros per month to 370 euros from next year. According to the federal government, about 380,000 people will no longer have to rely on social assistance or unemployment benefit II. However, long waiting times for the processing of applications must be expected because of a lack of staff at the housing allowance offices, among other reasons. Attention!… Read More

Tübingen goes dark at night

Towns and municipalities in the district of Tübingen want to save energy—also in street lighting. In Tübingen, for example, the public utility company is switching off the lanterns completely for several hours on four nights for the time being. This applies from Sunday to Thursday between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. in all streets, including the city centre, but not in tunnels and subways. From Thursday to Sunday, the lanterns are to be lit, but reduced by about 30 per cent depending on the location. The police and the municipal public order service are to have an “increased presence” on… Read More

Aid needs in Ukraine

Russia is waging a war of aggression against Ukraine and is deliberately destroying its infrastructure. On 15 November 2022 alone, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence reported nearly 100 missile attacks. Refugees from Ukraine often phone relatives and friends daily and report on their tense situation. At present, the electricity supply is particularly critical. It is completely unreliable. On some days there is only electricity for five hours, often only for one hour. When there is no electricity, the central heating in larger houses fails. And even if it comes on for an hour, it is not enough to heat the… Read More
