Markus Koob (CDU), who represents Oberursel and other towns in the German national parliament, talked recently about how the last week in January was his most stressful week in the 12 years that he has been a member of the parliament.
The reason for this was a proposal to limit immigration and turn asylum seakers back at Germany’s borders, amongst other measures.

There are national elections (Bundestagswahl) taking place on 23rd February this year, which just happens to be in the middle of the carnival season.
This means that some of the events have had to be rescheduled to avoid colliding with the election, otherwise rooms and halls would not be available.
I talked to the organising committee (Narrenrat) in Oberursel about it for the Oberurseler Woche. Click here to read my article (in German).
In the last town council meeting of 2024, the decision was taken to start planning a road that will join one of the bypasses around the town with a small cul-de-sac near the station. It’s a topic that has been discussed by councillors for longer that I’ve been following local politics!
