Attempted murder trial: shock in Bad Kreuznach!
On May 26, 2025, an important trial began in Bad Kreuznach in which a man is being tried for the attempted murder of his partner's estranged husband. This case raises questions about domestic violence and the social impact of such acts, which have increasingly come into focus in recent years. The details of the proceedings are closely followed because they challenge not only the legal system but also social norms.
Meanwhile, an auction of 20 historic pews from the St. Josef Chapel took place in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler. These benches were saved after the devastating flood disaster in 2021. The total proceeds of the auction were 9,500 euros and show how the community in the region is trying to preserve cultural heritage and heal the wounds of the past.
Detect and eliminate dead spots
At the same time, the Federal Network Agency launched the “Germany is checking its network” campaign. Citizens in Rhineland-Palatinate can report dead spots using an app. This is an important step to improve network coverage and ensure communications work in rural areas, especially during emergencies.
The weather in Rhineland-Palatinate is currently unstable with frequent rain. The maximum values are between 15 and 21 degrees, and heavy showers and thunderstorms are forecast for Wednesday. Such weather conditions could lead to further challenges for the region, which is still suffering from the consequences of the flood disaster.
Memories of the flood disaster
Dorothee Landen, a resident of Fuchshofen, remembers the devastating floods of July 2021, which she experienced on her birthday. On the afternoon of July 14th, she reported that streets in Antweiler were flooded. On the way home the conditions deteriorated and the Ahr reached its limits.
Their property was quickly flooded with water. By 4:30 p.m., half of their property was already underwater and the family had to move items upstairs. The water continued to rise rapidly, soon reaching her aunt's front steps, resulting in the need to leave the house. Landen's report provides a powerful insight into the horrific circumstances that many villagers endured.
In the days following the disaster, the damage was devastating. In addition to her home, many others were also affected, and people in the area came together to help each other. Despite the destruction, the spirit of solidarity was strong and many families provided support to alleviate the impact of the flood.
These events and developments in Rhineland-Palatinate highlight the challenges facing the region, while at the same time demonstrating the community's unwavering will to pick itself back up and hold together.
