Concern about the small market hall: renovation makes traders worried!
In Cologne, the future of Frankfurt's small market hall is a topic of conversation. How in a current report from the FAZ As can be read, a comprehensive renovation of the popular market hall is imminent, which is scheduled to start at the beginning of next year. But although the hall will remain open during the three years of construction, some stand operators are worried about a gradual decline that the construction work could cause.
The financial situation of the districts, cities and municipalities is particularly worrying, as the Groß-Gerau district administrator Thomas Will (SPD) discussed in a fire letter to the Federal Chancellor and the Federal Finance Minister. The rising costs of transfer payments and care expenses are causing the municipalities' financial resources to continue to dwindle. This is where the shoe lies, because without support things could get tight for many cities and communities.
Frankfurt sausages: A cultural asset in transition
Another aspect that makes the hearts of Cologne residents beat faster is the tradition of Frankfurt sausages. These thin, pre-cooked sausages, made primarily from pork and marinated in sheep intestines, have a special place in German cuisine. According to Wikipedia, Frankfurter sausages have been around since the Middle Ages and were traditionally served during imperial coronations at Römerberg. Their typical taste is created by gentle smoking at low temperatures, followed by a short cooking time in hot water - around eight minutes is standard.
But what is the difference between Frankfurter sausages and hot dogs? This is explained by an article from Tasting table: All hot dogs are frankfurters, but not the other way around. Frankfurters are made entirely of pork and are made up of special spices such as pepper and nutmeg, while hot dogs can also contain beef and often have a different texture. They tend to be shorter, plumper and sweeter, while frankfurters are much longer, narrower and have a firmer texture.
A bit of weather and road construction
Finally, a warm “Happy Birthday” to the birthday children: Kosta Schopow (77), Wolfgang Patzak (75), Frank Witzel (70) and Valerie Haller (55) can celebrate today. Maybe there will be one or two Frankfurt sausages for their special day!
