Chaos in the garbage Volksgarten

Dusseldorf - What was left of Pentecost: gnawed bones, dirty paper plates, broken bottles and burnt earth.
After dozens of barbecues and picnics on the long, sunny weekend, stifled the Volksgarten in the trash.
Must clean up the mess now, the Düsseldorf office garden. And there you - as after each of the last weekend - the despair is nigh: "The garbage cans in Volksgarten make it no longer," Manfred Krick sighs from the garden office.
"It has become so many barbecues to celebrate that our trash can no longer compensate for the garbage can. Since there is little to buy the disposable barbecues, more and more fetuses grow in the open. "And for this pilgrimage, the Düsseldorf Grill Fans preferably in the parks.
Result: nasty food scraps and cardboard tableware land next to the overflowing tons, grilled fun everywhere testify coal remains and burnt grass. Not only for residents Karl-Heinz Kröger an intolerable condition:
"The beautiful Volksgarten has come to see on a daily basis as a single dump. In the past when one could walk through the park off really. Now you will not even go here with his dog for walkies. "
 To change this again, looked to Manfred Krick and his colleagues from the garden office yesterday at the Volksgarten, looking for solutions: "We want to ban, despite all the people grilling. That is part of urban culture. So we need to come up with something, "said Krick.
Some 70 bodies with burnt grass, he has counted on his tour. "We will now set up tons of ashes in metal, where people can dispose of their coals, rather than pay out in the park. And for the garbage container, we could establish in the public gardens. It worked well even in Rheinpark very good. "
Really you can not make friends at the garden office with this idea anyway. not the large, bulky containers fit into the picture of the Public Gardens, they say. Mountains of garbage, but not. Therefore, solutions must soon produce.
At the Düsseldorf Grill namely friends of all motorbikes waiting for a long summer with lots of beautiful sunny days.

"I was glad when the witch was dead"

Cologne - "Well, clearly I am still a member of the Cologne club ice," says Gundi Busch, who was 53 years ago was the last time in the cathedral city, now sits in the café Reichardt and thoughtful look at the cathedral. Impish smile, the graceful old lady adds: "Even though I've never paid contributions."
There is a good reason: In 1954, the then 18-year-old for the CEC in Oslo sensational figure skating champion, after Cilly Aussem (Wimbledonsiegerin 1931) and Hans Schaefer (soccer world champion 1954), she bore the name of "sport city of Cologne in outside world.
Therefore, she was appointed the first female in Cologne "honorary senator," the CCG ( "Carnival decorations and hat I have). And that is what gave her the then Ford's director, Dr. Meyer ( "Germany needs people like you who raise our reputation abroad again"), a Taunus Cabrio, which later caused a sensation in Gundis City Milan: "I always drove too fast and parked wrong, but the Italian police said only gently, oh, the blond German. "
What nobody knew at that time: the beaming smile always hated the teenage figure skating, and he hated the woman who tormented her success - her mother Leopoldine called "Poldi".
"The smile was just in me," says the now 73-year-old daughter, "the fairy tale image of the Ice Princess is happy in her biography (see info box) but" will be completely destroyed "," I wanted to be an interior designer, but my mother let you do that. And my father was a henpecked husband. "
Thus Poldi Busch, the 10-year-old forced to have huge training stint, "eight or nine hours a day," when ice cold on the Riessersee, even if they had fever, even if the feet festered for too narrow boots. Gundis protest: "I slammed into the ice-skates with anger - and was even better." After the World Cup title she hoped that the relentless skating mom "was now satisfied and I could not stop." But had Gundi, not yet of age, had sold off for two years to a U.S. ice shows.
Happiness is nonetheless become Gundi Busch: "My husband has saved me." That was the legendary Swedish Ice Hockey World Champion Lulle Johansson, 1951, she saw the first time - at their club in Cologne, where he played with the former champions Preußen Krefeld. The two married in 1955, moved to Stockholm. And here was Gundis hatred for the new mother's diet: "When I was pregnant with Peter, she told me on the phone, I wish that the child is born dead." It's incredible - the settlement is made according stark: "She was a witch. I was glad when she was dead. "
The fact that figure skating has taken place even later, with no holds barred, has Gundi Busch in Stockholm stunned seen with my own eyes, as if Iris Chang, the observed in the GDR celebrated trainer of Kati Witt: "Whenever a runner began to fall, she threw a handful of tack right there on the ice, where the opened a little later ...

For destroys Chelsea Ballack. The lack of participation in EM-Werbespot represents the climax of the disrespectful handling of the German Topstar dar.
The minutes of its removal: For weeks, had tried the tips from Adidas and the DFB, with Chelsea getting the release. A week ago, sent an assistant Kenyon declined. The DFB tried to explain it, was confident. But even chief executive Herbert Hainer, whose group supported by the London annually about 20 million €, which ran in the Secretariat of the omnipotent boss Peter Kenyon from the wall.
Ballack, however, still believed in a misunderstanding. He traveled only with Chelsea representatives in Herzogenaurach, there could be missing a special shoe. Then it went to the quarters of the national team, which treated him Doc Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt. There, he waited for the okay from Chelsea. But Kenyon was on vacation, no one else felt responsible. Ballack grabbed the suitcase, went away. Bierhoff: "The decision was correct."
Shortly after 21, the clock then fluttered a fax from London. But as the consent existed, it was too late: Ballack was no longer attainable. The next morning, the national team arrived in Cobham a - for training. His plane was waiting.
"That's not jump to a national player, the DFB and Adidas to," complained national team manager Oliver Bierhoff yesterday afternoon at the DFB press conference. "But we try to ensure that he will come."

Schalke Kuranyi in the trap



Gelsenkirchen - Schalke 04 Kevin Kuranyi and - that it is still a dream marriage, no one believes.
The signs are clear on separation - but this could be a loss for Schalke Important business will be.
The facts: Kuranyi came in 2005 for 6.9 million euros from Stuttgart, has since scored 61 goals for Schalke competitive game - more than any other striker of the area clubs. Manager Andreas Müller: "From this was money well invested. Many clubs would then lick their fingers, for less than seven million euros to get a striker who shoots as many goals. "
But Mueller also knows that there is a serious problem: Kuranyi alone verballerte this season 18 (!) Clear-cut chances. In many Schalke fans why he is pushed out. Kuranyi himself is frustrated, therefore, rejected calls from an extension of his contract end in 2010 so far.
His advisor Roger Wittmann raises the question whether there is a player in the world, which would extend his contract in this mood. Muller also has doubts: "An extension would make sense for both sides. Since we have to wait until the second half. "
Muller's problem: Kuranyis market value has fallen to Schalke, because of missed chances - and because he is no longer national. Schalke missed the European Cup, is Kuranyis Topgehalt but hardly to lift. In addition, the club would have to sell the striker in the summer, in order not to lose him a year later on a free transfer.
But many millions can not be obtained for Kuranyi well - and for this sum, Schalke's concern can hardly find clippers, shoots in four years, more than 60 goals. Schalke Kuranyi in the trap - as the winner can get out of the club from this point any more.

The full interview - read here:
Wolfgang Overath in EXPRESS-Interview

"People still have to be times 20" is a dream of many who are not. Do you want to be another 20?
    Sometimes I would be able to go back in time like a little bit. But such is life, the clock will continue relentlessly and will always be faster. When Elder told me earlier: "The time is so fast," I have always thought, "That's not true, he's got about the same time as me." Today I see it differently.
They say yes, with 66 years of age when life begins. Are there good hope?
    No, with 66 would be too late. I live a long time and my life was always beautiful. I always had good luck, always lived on the sunny side. If my life could still time to live, I would live the same way.
Accept your age?
    If I am pushed on it, how old I really am, I think to myself: "This can not be true." I imagine my father, at the time when I was a little boy - he was already an old man . I go into the hall, with 30-year-olds play soccer. That would have been unimaginable in my time with my father.
Compare your life sometimes with that of your parents?
    Of course. It was crazy, dear parents, very simple people who have done everything for her eight children and it led a hard life. This has affected me.
What has particularly impressed you?
    When I was seven, I had to go from the middle of each month, write in the shops. Because my father was on 1 his salary, and from 15 handed the money anymore. I've made up my mind very quickly: "You must never be subject to such worries as your parents." It was my attitude: fighting, fighten get anywhere.
When did you begin to live it?
    I built my first 19 years with Sechsfamilienhaus and then made a lot of real estate. While the others in training camp, playing cards, I've built, studying documents and phone calls. That worked.
Are they well come through the financial crisis?
    I've got no problem because I am also in money matters is very conservative. I have a lot invested in real estate and always had my money in banks, savings and credit unions that have withstood the crisis.
You are a religious man. Do you believe that God has given you a bit of luck?
    I think that the Lord has kept his hand on me. I thank him every night in prayer and I show him as a satisfied and grateful man.
Do you think that you can play football in heaven?
    Typical EXPRESS-talk question. I think definitely that it continues after death. Whether football is played? Furthermore I have not made much thought.
How do you show gratitude outside of thanks to God?
    My mid-40s was a crucial point. I had a lot of money, but suddenly had doubts: "There must be other values in life." Then I started worrying about players from my team, which was not so good that they wegzubringen by alcohol, their pay off debts.
They also act for shelter-less ...
    ... After a very special Christmas experience. Then I got into conversation with a homeless man, what has got me thinking. A year later, I started to invite the homeless. That is until now has remained so ever three days before Christmas.
At that time they adopted their daughter?
    We had seen a film about Brazilian street children. This has made me concerned. My wife then asked: "Should we not adopt a child?" All of them have immediately said yes. And even that has brought us luck, because Silvana has returned to us uncanny warmth and love.
So much happiness in life could also use your FC. Are there times where you will be taken from him to sleep?
    Oh, yes. Earlier, when I played, I was able to move and intervene. Now I sit there and have no chance. If a team loses a few times and comes in a phase where it abwärtsgeht and I will personally criticized for taking me wonder: Why am I doing this to me?
You could make it easier for himself? Why do they do the job at all?
    Because I understand a bit about football and I feel I can help it go forward. It comes out of the attempt to help.
How is it that when you shoot player or coach can, which is personally very sympathetic?
    Hard, very hard. It hits me. I think I can be very hard, but there are situations in which I fight very much.
Do you sometimes despair when you see the players of today? That's a completely different lifestyle than you?
    If it does not work out the way I imagine it, I think to myself: There is much more important things in life, as if a good or bad to play football. I would just also think that if I EXPRESS skin then into the pan.
Sometimes one has the feeling that the players of today are in nightclubs rather than on the lawn?
    It is a cliché. It is not that earlier all were brave and kind and go now, all in the discos. Previously, went away, I also, incidentally, and now it goes away. Those were different times in football too. When we left, we were outside our rest. Today, if one goes away, call the next day at the same seven people who want to report it.
If there was a time machine, and the championship team of 1964 would compete against the current Elf? Who has the best chance?
    That can not compare. The 64er had physically zero chance. Each of the guys who play today, which would decrease to 10 yards three meters. It is a completely different physical situation. We had our times of good players and great teams - and who even today.
