Six excitements in Vorarlberg: construction processes, deputy mayor, living space, soccer penalty, “human pup play” and the cannabis debate.
1.
Playful dogs in Dornbirn: A group of people from Vorarlberg meet regularly in Dornbirn to do “Human Pupplay”. The participants wear dog masks, cuddle together, take on the leash and practice commands and retrieval.
2.
Maximum penalty for official: The STRUMA of the VFV pronounced the maximum penalty against an official of SC Hatlerdorf after he had physically attacked a referee.
3.
The demand for new residential construction in Vorarlberg fell sharply last year, which is partly attributed to financing hurdles.
4.
After disputes about the deputy post in Bludenz, Andrea Mallitsch (ÖVP) was elected the new deputy mayor with a majority of just one vote. SPÖ candidate Andreas Fritz-Wachter was appointed to the new city council.
5.
While work on the mega-project city tunnel in Feldkirch progresses, critical voices are raised. According to the “Transform” environmental initiative, the operators have not yet received sovereignty over all the land that would be necessary.
6.
The planned liberalization of cannabis in Germany is judged differently by local experts. Possible and probable is a “drug tourism” from Vorarlberg across the border.
