Zollernalbkreis starts mega project: light rail in operation until 2034!
There are currently exciting developments in the region around the Zollernalbkreis. Particular attention is paid to the plannedRegional light rail, which is scheduled to be operational by 2034. An impressive 840 million euros have been earmarked for improvements in rail transport. The expansion of the railway line from Tübingen to Albstadt-Ebingen will also affect the city of Balingen, which will hopefully sustainably improve mobility and accessibility in the region the Black Forest Messenger reports.
The resignation of is also very notableKai Rosenstock, the AfD faction leader in the Hechingen local council. The reasons are unclear, which is a topic of discussion in political circles. The AfD parliamentary group is also calling for the rehabilitation of theSpecial Forces Command(KSK) of the Bundeswehr. A corresponding application was sent to the federal government. This is happening against the background of the critical reporting on right-wing extremist incidents in the KSK, which has had a strong impact on the unit in recent years the Bundestag informed.
The situation around the KSK
In 2019 and 2020 in particular, the Bundeswehr had to process 363 suspected cases of right-wing extremism. TheKSKhad lost considerable trust as a result of these incidents. The call for rehabilitation is no coincidence; The AfD demands a public clarification that there were no substantial extremist efforts or networks in the KSK. The disbanded 2nd company is to be re-established as soon as possible, while a Bundeswehr-wide anonymous survey is to be carried out to shed light on the climate for soldiers, which could affect their democratic rights, such as Deutschlandfunk reports.
Critical voices about the KSK's policies are increasing. For example, more than 100 KSK soldiers received psychological treatment due to public pressure. Many voices emphasize the need for reforms within the unit, including stricter recruitment criteria, to keep extremists out and regain the trust of the population. The KSK was founded in 1997 with the task of rescuing German citizens from danger and has since carried out operations in both the Balkans and Afghanistan.
Current news in the region
Aside from political issues, the city of Nagold has big plans for the further development of the court square. Living spaces are to be created here because the city is using the option of the right of first refusal. The garden show in Freudenstadt also casts its shadow, even if dog owners here find out that dogs are not allowed in the fenced areas, which causes some dissatisfaction.
In hot political times, it remains to be seen how the situation surrounding the KSK and the local infrastructure will develop. As the elections in Horb continue to gain momentum due to Sven Bach's health-related retirement, many are hoping for positive changes in rail transport that could make everyday life in the region much easier.
