Enthusiasts of country music take to the slopes, engaging in lively dances set to the rhythm of mountaineers' music
Neustadt an der Waldnaab is currently playing host to the Neustadt Serenades, a popular event that has attracted thousands of visitors. The Mountaineros band, known for their country hits, entertained the crowd with a lively performance that had many singing along.
However, the festivities were marred by a tragic incident. A 37-year-old woman from Munich sustained serious injuries in a climbing accident in the Nürnberger Land district. Reports indicate that she was flown to a hospital by helicopter. The cause of the accident is currently under investigation.
Elsewhere, Germany's victory over Lithuania at the EM was overshadowed by a racism incident involving captain Schröder. Details about the incident are still emerging, but it has sparked a heated debate about the role of sports in promoting unity and respect.
In a different part of the country, the A93 near Falkenberg was the scene of a multiple-vehicle accident. The highway was closed for several hours, but it has since reopened. Unfortunately, a driver died in the accident, and the cause is also under investigation.
Meanwhile, in Wiener Neustadt, the "Concert for Wiener Neustadt" took place on September 11, 2025, at Hauptplatz. The Wiener Neustädter Instrumentalisten, with soloist Marie-Luise Engel-Schottleitner, put on a captivating performance.
In the world of sports, the Blue Devils Weiden won their third test match against Banik Sokolov. The match, which was played in front of 1,218 fans, ended with a score of 4:3. However, Luca Glaser, a player for the Blue Devils Weiden, had to leave the game due to a hard check.
On a lighter note, some visitors to the Neustadt Serenades brought their own chairs to secure a spot, and some enthusiastic fans danced in front of the stage during the Mountaineros' performance.
The Serenades in Neustadt will continue this Thursday with "I Cantautori" and "Un Viaggio in Italia". Let's hope for a weekend filled with more music and less tragedy.
In another incident, a car overturned on the B85 near Amberg on Saturday evening. The highway was closed for a short period, but it has since reopened. No further details about the incident are available at this time.
As we move forward, let's remember to cherish the moments of joy and unity that events like the Neustadt Serenades bring, while also working towards a society that prioritizes safety and respect for all.
