Wrongly not receiving child benefit

A number of refugees were wrongly denied child benefit between 2006 and 2020. This was decided by the Federal Constitutional Court on 3 August. The highest German court declared unconstitutional a regulation according to which families from non-EU countries only received child benefits if they worked, received unemployment benefit I or were on parental leave. However, the judges left in place the rule that people who lived in Germany for international, humanitarian or political reasons could only apply for benefits after three years. However, the ruling will hardly have any financial impact: At present, only parents who had filed a… Read More

Cheat packs: less content, same price

Customers in the supermarket have noticed it for a long time: the prices of goods are rising. Everything is getting more and more expensive—whether meat or yoghurt, crisps or sweets, washing-up liquid or hand cream. What many people don’t notice about the products they are used to: there are cheat packs that contain less at the same price. The manufacturers simply reduce the filling quantity, a trick that has been practised for years. These are hidden price increases, often in the double-digit percentage range. Customers can report cheating packages to the consumer centres. The consumer advice centre in Hamburg also… Read More

No fire outdoors

Due to the current drought, the City of Tübingen asks that you refrain from using open fires outdoors. Barbecue areas in the city are currently not allowed to be used.

The city administration also urgently requests all citizens to refrain from barbecuing with open fires in their own gardens or on their balconies. https://www.tuebingen.de/presse#/37307 tun22072004 www.tuenews.de Grillverbote auf Grillplätzen wegen der starken Hitze.
