    Johannes Fröhlinger: „The Return of the Deutschland Tour on Roads I Know – It Could Hardly Be Better”

    Johannes Fröhlinger: „The return of the Deutschland Tour on roads I know – it could hardly be better” Johannes Fröhlinger is one of the most experienced German pros in the peloton. The 32-year-old with Team Sunweb has just ended his 11th year as a pro cyclist and extended his contract through 2019. The native of Gerolstein is a cornerstone of his team as its road captain. With his cycling roots in the Eifel, Fröhlinger feels especially good on the challenging rolling terrain. Trier is your second home: You grew up barely 500 kilometers away from Trier. Your family lives in Trier and you spend a lot of time in the region. Now the Deutschland Tour is coming to Trier in the first year of its new life. Your first reaction? “That was fantastic news. My first thought was immediately: I have to be there. On the same day I told my team of my wish to include that in the season planning. Hopefully it will work out. Race days for us German riders on our native soil have been drastically reduced over the last decade. At the last Deutschland Tour in 2008, I was at the start. Starting again in the race and then riding on familiar roads, that could hardly be better for me personally.” You know the terrain of the Moselle valley as well as the distinctive climbs in the Eifel and Hunsrück like you know the back of your hand. What can your colleagues in the peloton and especially the fans of the Deutschland Tour look forward to? “The region offers an incredible variety of roads.

Subsequent forecasts also indicated a high risk of flooding for the Meuse River basin, affecting Belgium. The magnitude of the floods forecasted for the Rhine River basin increased significantly in this period. The first EFAS notifications were sent to the relevant national authorities starting on 10 July and, with the continuously updated forecasts, more than 25 notifications were sent for specific regions of the Rhine and Meuse River basins in the following days until 14 July. Figure: EFAS flood forecast from 12.07.2021 00:00 UTC Providing early and current maps of flooded areas On 13 July, the CEMS Rapid Mapping component was activated to map the ongoing floods in parts of Western Germany (EMSR517 Mapping Website , EMSR517 Activation Viewer). As a flood peak was foreseen on 16 July for segments of other rivers, CEMS preemptively acquired satellite images of the vulnerable area through Pre-Tasking on 14 July. These early images informed ensuing activations by the CEMS Rapid Mapping component based on the EFAS forecasts for areas in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and France.

    THE STATE PALACES AND GARDENS OF BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG STAATLICHE SCHLÖSSER UND GÄRTEN BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG PRESS RELEASE MARCH 2019 / 3 PAGES HEIDELBERG CASTLE: MECHTHILD VON DER PFALZ Heidelberg Castle Born 600 years ago at Heidelberg Palace: Mechthild von der Pfalz 2019 marks the 600th anniversary of her birth. Her story: On March 7, 1419, Mechthild von der Pfalz was born in Heidelberg Palace, the daughter of Prince- Elector Ludwig III, later the wife of two important rulers. She was a highly cultured woman and the center of a "Musenhof", a court of muses. She was the driving force behind the founding of two of the state's academic institutions, continuing a family tradition, which began with the founding of Heidelberg University by Prince-Elector Ruprecht I in 1386. Her birthday falls the day before International Women's Day, which is celebrated on March 8 — one more reason why the State Palaces and Gardens of Baden-Württemberg is commemorating this famous resident of the Electoral Palatinate. THE ROYAL RESIDENCE 600 YEARS AGO As the daughter of Prince-Elector Ludwig von der Pfalz and his wife, Countess Matilda von Savoyen-Achaja, Mechthild was born in Heidelberg Palace on March 7, 1419. The castle was still very much a medieval structure, not one of the grandiose palaces that characterize the area today. The Ruprechtsbau structure, commissioned by and named after her grandfather, King Ruprecht I, was not completed until just before Mechthild's birth. It is the oldest surviving residential structure on the castle grounds and is one of the last remnants of the late medieval castle.
