Now that the major heatwave has, for the time being, come to an end, is it really necessary to talk about New Year’s Eve and the fireworks? Yes, it is necessary! It will be just as necessary to talk about heat protection in early January 2027. If issues are only raised when they are pressing, […]
For a long time, they were a local attraction: Carmen Zander’s tigers in Dölzig, near Leipzig.
