In catholic parishes, corpus christi is a powerful demonstration of faith. About 100 years ago, there was a large corpus christi procession in herzogenaurach.

The local historian of herzogenaurach, luitpold maier, has handed it down: there was the procession on fronleichnam itself, another one on the following thursday, which took place outside the town center. The way on fronleichnam was similar to the current procession way, but it was lined with four altars where the beginnings of the four gospels were sung.

The various guild staffs and flags of the guilds that formerly existed in the city were carried in the procession. The procession included boys and girls from both the city and country schools, as well as students from the further education school, the students from the liebfrauenhaus and representatives from the associations.

The performance of the 150 or so volunteers from the local DLRG association in bamberg-gaustadt and their 157 colleagues from the bavarian DLRG youth association was more than impressive over the weekend for the german championship in rescue swimming. After all, it was necessary to accommodate, look after and provide for around 2,000 participants – including more than 1,000 swimmers, 117 competition judges and 80 people in the organizational area – for four days.

"We have been working on the preparations for two years. We had to do a lot of talking and also a lot of persuasion work, concluded gerhard ohlein, first chairman of the DLRG bamberg-gaustadt. After all, it took five bamberg schools alone to accommodate the many participants during the weekend. But there was also a lot of food and equipment to be brought in.

"We set up 72 beer sets and unloaded 25 euro pallets of dishes in the canteen area alone, the foyer of the graf stauffenberg schools.", said melanie hamaschek, one of the volunteers from bamberg. They and their helpers have distributed around 11.000 sandwiches were handed out and 42.000 tea bags and 345 jars of nutella. And for the evening reception with award ceremonies, a 7.5-ton truck – crammed with lighting and technology – had to be unloaded.

The question "what do I wear today??" The answer for several hundred students at the habfurt school center was quickly found yesterday: it definitely had to be something blue. The young people set a sign in the form of a blue ribbon and wanted to draw attention to a rare disease that has hardly been taken into account by research so far: CFS/ME, chronic fatigue syndrome, or myalgic encephalomyelitis. With the symbol and their signatures, the schoolchildren want to support a plea to the federal government that research be carried out in this field.

Schuler’s mother falls ill

"A mother of one of our schoolchildren is ill with CFS, and so the schoolchildren stumbled upon the initiative of mathias ilka", angelika reinhart from the "living room" explains the origin of the action. Class 9b of the secondary school took the initiative and contacted mathias ilka. His then 23-year-old son simon fell ill three years ago.
At first everything looked like a harmless cold, then the young man collapsed several times at work. Why, that remained puzzling at first. No examination revealed any findings, but simon’s condition deteriorated visibly. He was in pain, ended up in a wheelchair. At the institute for medical immunology at the charite in berlin, they finally got to the bottom of the disease. Simon is now a total nursing case.

Exhaustion in the affected

His illness is a systemic disease with disturbances of the nervous system, the immune system and the hormonal system. At the same time, it causes debilitating fatigue and exhaustion in those affected, especially during physical exertion. Doctors often diagnose depression, and sufferers are admitted to rehab or psychiatric centers. However, the activities there worsen the disease, because the patients need rest above all else.
Peter kirchner, the former mayor of kirchlauter, knows this, too. One of the daughters suffers from CFS, so it was an honor for him to participate in the ribbon cutting with grandson rafael-peter on his shoulders.
There are around 300,000 sufferers in germany – but no therapy, no chance of a cure, not even recognition as an organic disease. Which for the relatives also means a fight with health and care insurance companies.
