Katzenkbaby discovered! Hesse shows heart: donations for fire victims!

In Hesse there are a lot of news that encourage you to smile, think and cheer. On June 18, 2025, the day was characterized by unexpected discoveries and moving events that touch the local community. For example, a small kittens was found on the Lorsch-West rest area. An attentive cleaner made the heartbreaking find in a box, brought the small worm to the police, which then handed him over to the shelter. This reminds us of how important it is to pay attention to the need of animals and to support them in difficult times.

Another touching chapter came to Meinhard-Neuerode in the context of a devastating fire. Here a family lost their home, but the local community did not let them down. Almost 10,000 euros could be collected by the actions of "Eschwege helps" and the fire brigade and handed over to the affected family. Such solidarity is priceless and shows how a community holds together when it matters.

families in Hesse in focus

A look at the current family statistics shows that around 49.2% of families are one-child families in Hesse in 2024. There are a total of around 908,000 families with at least one child, which is a significant number. It is noteworthy that the average family in this country consists of 3.5 people, including 1.7 children. A very clear trend is visible: three children live in almost every tenth family, while those with four or more children only make up about three percent. The variety of family forms - be it mixed, same -sex couples or single parents - makes the Hessian society colorful and alive. These developments reveal how important it is to accept and support the different life forms and realities.

But that's not all that Hesse is currently moving. Large events also took place in the cities that day. The Hessentag in Bad Vilbel led to a lively hustle and bustle with around 300,000 visitors and is expected to attract a total of around 750,000 people. There were also protests at various universities, as students and employees mobilize national funds as part of the university package. A topic that will surely still provide a conversation.

exciting incidents and special discoveries

The weather is very popular, however: with temperatures between 25 and 31 degrees, the summer moves in and invites you to excursions. But not only the sun causes a sensation. Another incident was reported in Frankfurt, in which a 19-year-old in the Galluswarte S-Bahn station was shot and arrested with a gas pistol. The security situation remains an important topic in the region.

And while people repeatedly discover their passions, there was also an unexpected return to tradition. A nice wedding ring that was lost at the potato harvest in 1975 was rediscovered in Burghaun - with a engraving from 1963.

With a hot air balloon in the form of a fire engine, a colorful sign was set for the 100th anniversary of the Hünfeld volunteer fire brigade. Such celebrations bring people together and strengthen the community spirit.
