Two weeks ago, the work on the railroad station in ebenhausen came to a sudden standstill. The german railroad is currently investing around 5.4 million euros there. The interchange station, which is important for the district of bad kissingen, is to be made barrier-free by the middle of 2019. The unexpected construction stop has now caused speculation. "For many in the village it was a rough question mark. Why does nothing happen there", reports benedikt kebler, local councilor for ebenhausen and local councillor. The work had started in spring with high pressure, in a short time much progress had been made. "That’s why many people have wondered why suddenly nothing is happening on the construction site", he says.

The forced break is connected with a rare signal box technology that is installed in ebenhausen. Things that are necessary for operation, such as track closures, switches, signals and the safety systems for the railroad overpass, are controlled from the signal box. But first things first. So far, only the first track is accessible at ground level. Those who want to access the remaining platforms have to go through an underpass, but only stairways lead down to it. To make it easier for the disabled, cyclists and families with strollers to get to the trains in the future, the railroad is building a completely new underpass a few meters away.

Some concepts are so popular that they never fail to impress. Four years ago, the international motor show (IAA) in frankfurt was the place where the automotive supplier brose presented its contactless tailgate for the first time: the tailgate opened as if by magic by placing the fuselage tip under the rear apron of a vehicle. In the same way, after a fubkick under the rear, the trunk lid lowered back into the lock.

The comfortable tailgate can also be seen at the brose stand in 2013. No longer a novelty, but a trendsetter. The innovative system has received awards in recent years and is in great demand. "With this product, we have a bestseller. There are already twelve models from three manufacturers equipped with it", reported brose press spokesman jens korn.

"There is always a traffic jam because of a wrong traffic light switching!" Hans harress lives in beiersdorf and has contacted the tageblatt with this complaint: because of the closure of rodacher strabe (see text above), hans harress drives over callenberger strabe and the so-called gaudlitz junction when he wants to get to coburg south. At the gaudlitz intersection, it turns left in the direction of the B4. But he often has to wait a long time: "the traffic light is only green for eight seconds for left-turners."

Because the left-turn lane is relatively short, left-turners often block those who want to go straight ahead. There is one alternative route: through neuses to the so-called kaeser traffic circle and there onto the B4/north ring road. But this is hans harress too circumstantial and too far, as he says.
