Following the may devotions in the st.-bartholomaus-chapel the city priest roland neher blessed on tuesday the marter which is located on the lindenplatz in front of the chapel and which has been restored recently.

Signs of popular devotion

like many other religious paintings in franken, this marter was created about 300 years ago at the beginning of the 18th century. The nineteenth century as a pictorial sign of a deep piety of the people. The presumed donor is the farmer hans schardt. According to the findings of the former town archivist heinrich meyer and the records of josef breunlein, the altar was moved twice.
From its original location at the old church and school path near the muhlbach, the monument had to be moved to today’s unterwallenstadter weg in the course of the construction of the werra railroad in 1859, and then moved to its current location in 1963 as part of the village square redevelopment. In 2004, on the initiative of the kapellenerhaltungsverein, the mausoleum received new votive panels by the church painter peter groh, who comes from lichtenfels, since the original metal panels with religious motifs had been lost over the course of time. The meanwhile very faded pictures of the votive panels, which show the patron saint bartholomew, the two diocesan patrons, emperor heinrich and his wife kunigunde, as well as the mother of god mary with the infant jesus, have now been refreshed by the artist.
In addition, the sinuous sandstone column with ionic capital was carefully cleaned so as not to damage the reliefs. Most noticeable is the new paved base with a small planted area. At the suggestion of the honorary chairman josef springer, the mausoleum above the capital was given a gilded cross.

It’s every glider pilot’s dream to fly long distances without a motor. Seven pilots between the ages of 17 and 27 want to learn how to do this during the spring vacations at hetzleser berg: for the first time, the airfield of the erlangen-nurnberg aviation association (FEN) will be the venue for a one-week so-called lima course for aspiring cross-country pilots. "Lima" stands for the initial letter "L in the aviation alphabet, here L for performance gliding course.

Between 19. And 25. May, the seven go to the starting line to be introduced to the art of cross-country flying. They can all fly very well. But to leave the familiar circles of the pitch, to find the optimum climb and eventually not to be able to return to the airfield, but to have to make an outlanding on an open field – for this, quite a few obstacles have to be overcome. These are to be overcome at the training course organized by the bavarian air sports association (LVB) on the hetzleser berg (located between neunkirchen am brand and grafenberg).
