Vorsicht bei Bewegungsjagden: Der Herbst ist Hauptsaison

Der Herbst ist die Hauptzeit für die sogenannte mobile Jagd auf Rehe, Hirsche und Wildschweine. In den Jagdrevieren stößt man auf Warnschilder und Absperrbänder, die man beachten und die Jagdgebiete meiden sollte, um sich nicht selbst zu gefährden, heißt es in einer Pressemitteilung des Landratsamtes Tübingen. Ziel dieser Jagden ist es, entsprechend dem gesetzlichen Auftrag der Jäger, einen artenreichen und gesunden Wildbestand zu erhalten und Schäden in Wald und Flur zu verringern.

Winter is coming, so drivers are wondering whether they need to change from summer tires to winter tires.

The land of blackness is the land of palm trees

by Sameer Ibrahim Iraq is considered one of the countries with the most palm trees in the world, with around 22 million palm trees. Historians say that the cultivation of date palms began around 5000 years ago in Mesopotamia.

Foreign skilled workers experience bureaucracy and discrimination

  In general, integration into the German labour market has been successful for skilled workers from so-called third countries, i.e. countries outside the EU.
