Lothar von Richthofen

Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (German: [ˈmanfreːt fɔn ˈʁɪçthoːfn̩]; 2 May 1892 – 21 April 1918), known in English as Baron von Richthofen or the Red Baron, was a fighter pilot with the German Air Force during World War I. He is considered the ace-of-aces of the war, being officially credited with 80 air combat victories. Originally a cavalryman, Richthofen transferred to the Air Service in 1915, becoming one of the first members of fighter squadron Jagdstaffel 2 in 1916. He quickly distinguished himself as a fighter pilot, and during 1917 became the leader of Jasta 11. Later he led the larger fighter wing Jagdgeschwader I, better known as "The Flying Circus" or "Richthofen's Circus" because of the bright colours of its aircraft, and perhaps also because of the way the unit was transferred from one area of Allied air activity to another – moving like a travelling circus, and frequently setting up in tents on improvised airfields. By 1918, Richthofen was regarded as a national hero in Germany, and respected by his enemies. Richthofen was shot down and killed near Vaux-sur-Somme on 21 April 1918. There has been considerable discussion and debate regarding aspects of his career, especially the circumstances of his death. He remains one of the most widely known fighter pilots of all time, and has been the subject of many books, films, and other media.

The Salzbach valley bridge (German: Salzbachtalbrücke) was a pair of parallel bridges located south of Wiesbaden, the capital of the state of Hessen, in Germany. The bridges were built from prestressed concrete to carry the main Bundesautobahn 66 road route over the Salzbach stream, the Mainzer Straße and Bundesautobahn 671, plus the main rail tracks approaching Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof station. Both bridges were declared unsafe during mid-2021, disrupting regional road traffic, and diverting all rail services to stop at Wiesbaden Ost station outside of the city centre. A controlled demolition of both bridges took place on 6 November 2021 at 12 noon.Following the demolition, the initial focus was planned to clear the rubble across the five removed railway tracks and to enable re-opening of rail access to the city, and road access to the Bundesautobahn 671 southwards. The Bundesautobahn 66, previously carried over the bridges, would remain interrupted. The first replacement bridge was projected to be opened in 2023, with foundations and some structural parts already having been manufactured.

West stand reconstruction After the home game of SV Wehen Wiesbaden against 1860 Munich on 9 March 2019, the West stand of the stadium was closed in order to enable reconstruction to start. Prior to this, tubular steel construction stand was a temporary structure while the new structure will be permanent.Due to the temporary nature, the limited capacity of the stadium, and other requirements regarding TV camera positions, SV Wehen will require a special permit if they are promoted to the 2. Budesliga. Therefore, the rebuilding of a permanent west stand structure was planned and started and the new stand is due to be completed and open by the end of 2020. In February 2018 an agreement was reached between the Stadion Berliner Strasse GmbH & Co. KG (SBS) and the city of Wiesbaden on a new licence. As a result, SV Wehen Wiesbaden will play its games in the Brita Arena until 2047. The new west stand, which will be built from concrete, will cost between eight and nine million euros, with the state of Hesse contributing 3.5 million euros.Until the building has been completed there is only room for 9,100 spectators.
