The premiere of the new “Nachhaltigskeitssong” took place at the Hessentag in Oberursel on Sunday.

Nachhaltigkeit means sustainability, and is one of the keywords at the Hessentag.  The pop song, called “Jetzt und für immer” (now and for ever) was performed by Jennifer Braun and the band “Rewind” on the Süwag stage in the Rushmoor Park.

World Vision at the Hessentag

The Charity World Vision, whose German office is in Friedrichsdorf, have a stand in Hall 2 of the Landesausstellung at the Hessentag in Oberursel.

Visitors can find out about the charity’s work and also how to sponsor a child in a third-world country.

There is also the chance to win a ride in a hot air balloon.  To do so, children are asked to draw or write a wish for all the children in the World.  This is then attached to a helium filled balloon and taken outside the hall to be released.

The swimming club in Oberursel (SCO) and in particular their diving section, the Kiwi-Taucher, have come up with something rather special for the Hessentag.  They are offering visitors the chance to try out diving for free… in the back of a lorry!

The trailer on the lorry is 6.2m long, 2.5m wide and 2m deep and filled with water (as you might expect).
