And the gymnastics group of the bamberg diaconia senior citizens’ meeting place has come up with a very special use: they use it for sports.

"We use almost anything you can get your hands on," explains group leader. We do sporting exercises with towels, beer mats and newspapers, but also with balls, gym bands or frisbee discs", explains group leader ingrid pamperl. The exercise equipment is used for simple coordination and movement exercises. Sometimes there are legs sitting, sometimes it is standing on one leg.

1146 tombstones stand in the jewish cemetery in pfaffenhausen, which was established around the year 1580. And it has already become a tradition that district curator cornelia mence organizes a tour every year in september.

400 years ago, there were only a few people of the jewish faith in the predominantly catholic villages, so they could not afford their own cemetery everywhere.
