Angelika pinnau joined the board of trustees exactly 40 years ago, on 2. July 1973, as a 23-year-old, she began her service in the town hall of marktbreit.

First she worked part-time and then, since october 1989, full-time. She recalls her first day at work with a smile during her 40th anniversary ceremony at the town hall on tuesday: "I went to work at the town hall early in the morning and wanted to report to my superior, but he was not there. Because no one knew what to do with me, I waited until the burgermeister arrived."

She has a good relationship of trust with the incumbent mayor, erich hegwein, who presented her with an honorary certificate from the state of bavaria together with a gift, which the mayor also praised.

The federal government is taking the next step in climate protection: on wednesday, it adopted a detailed roadmap for this purpose, thus putting into practice the basic agreement it reached in september.

Germany is to achieve its climate target for the year 2030 with incentives and a price for greenhouse gas emissions.

The cabinet also approved a climate protection law that stipulates that individual ministers will in future be responsible for complying with annual greenhouse gas savings targets in their area of responsibility. This means that the first law from the climate package will now go to the bundestag. Further plans, for example to increase the aviation tax, are to follow in the next few months.

This is slowly becoming a problem not only for the retail trade in hochstadt.
