Mayor renews demands to connect Dachau to Nordring Munich – Dachau
Family reunions are almost always the same regardless of the family: food enough to feed a team of sumo wrestlers is served, reprimands and admonitions are given to the youngest, and once the second glass of wine is poured, rummage around older tribesman a purr from the dim past, mostly starring: a wet sponge and a strict teacher. This event is then told to the entering family with impertinent cheerfulness in detail and verbatim as in the past decades. Presumably Friedrich Nietzsche also had such an uncle, from whom he called his idea of the “return of the eternally same”.
His philosophy later even found its way into the programming of public television. There the most beautiful repetitions are revolved again and again in the summer months. In 1986, ARD, allegedly by mistake, broadcast Chancellor Helmut Kohl’s New Year’s speech from the previous year. The fact that he wished the Germans “a peaceful 1986” on the last day of the year is only mentioned to the fewest; Most people didn’t listen to the “Fat from Oggersheim” anyway, and if you’re honest: In the cozy cloud of the New Year’s speeches you rarely find anything tangible.
However, one should not underestimate the power of speech. Like the constant dripping, the word also has an effect if it is only repeated often enough. Cato the Elder is said to have put his famous “Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam” at the beginning of each of his speeches with the persistence of a Scholzomato. He did this until Carthage was actually flattened. Quod erat demonstrandum. You just have to annoy them long enough. Annoy long enough. Annoy long enough. Annoy long enough.
In the struggle for the S-Bahn Nordring, Dachau’s Lord Mayor Florian Hartmann recently sent a letter to the Bavarian Transport Minister Kerstin Schreyer in which he once again explained that it would be a very good idea to also connect the large district town of Dachau. The arguments put forward by the mayor were not new, even the wording was identical to the selected letter to Ms. Schreyer’s predecessor, Hans Reichhart. Since there are certainly no family ties between the three and the Dachau town hall administration works slowly but certainly not sloppily, Hartmann’s Nordring II project can neither be assigned to the category of talkative uncle nor bumbling program director. You have to see an Upper Bavarian Cato in the mayor of Dachau.
