Předsedou Asociace Euroregionů ČR se stal do konce roku 2023 zástupce Euroregionu Šumava Libor Picek a tajemníkem Ondřej Havlíček, výkonný ředitel Euroregionu Nisa.

Akce se konala pod záštitou vicepremiera a ministra per místní rozvoj Ivana Bartoše. Stanovy i orgány spolku odsouhlasilo všech 13 subjectů, které se aktivně hlásí ke spolupráci Euroregionů na všech 5 hranicích, kde se realizují přeshraniční aktivity. Jde o česko-rakouskou, česko-slovenskou, česko-polskou, česko-saskou and česko-bavorskou hranici. Ve všech těchto příhraničních regionech bude fungovat Program Interreg 2021 - 2027, a Euroregiony budou vykonávat funkci administrátorů Fondů malých projektů.

MMR, podle slov náměstka ministra Sršně, podporuje činnost Euroregionů a hodlá pomoct rovněž formou dotací na aktivity Asociace. Očekává taktéž podněty z euroregionů na zlepšení hospodářské a social situation v periferních oblastech. Na jednání zazněly hlasy na ustanovení či opětovné nastartování fungování mezivládních komisí pro přeshraniční oblasti, kde je nutné urychlit proces řešení takových otázek jako přeshraniční doprava, fungování IZS přes hranici, udržení vody v krajině v kontextu klimatických změn, efektivní spolupráce nemocnic a zdravotnických složek ve prospěch pacientů v pohraničních oblastech apod. Asociace jako den z nových členů Národní stálé konference bude usilovat o prezentaci aktivit spolku i jednotlivých členů už na nejbližším jednání NSK začátkem dubna 2023 v Plzni.

Za Euroregion Labe se jednání zúčastnili místopředseda Euroregionu Labe a primátor města Děčín pan Jiří Anděl a ředitel Euroregionu Labe Vladimír Lipský.

On March 1st we will start the film series "Czech Film Wednesday" in the Dresden Central Cinema, in which we will show an original Czech film with subtitles on every 1st Wednesday of the month at 8 p.m.

The film "Mimořádná událost" (Exceptional Situation) was a great success at the Czech-German Culture Days, with sold-out screens and many people asking us when we would be showing it again. That's why we start the film series with this absurd comedy.

In the X-Dörfer project, the Staatsschauspiel Dresden supports a wide range of cultural projects in rural areas. In addition to financial support, the content-related support provided by theater professionals is particularly important.

For projects after the summer of 2023, the small project fund of the Euroregion Elbe/Labe can be used as a supplement to organize such projects across borders. The offices of the Euroregion will be happy to advise you (see Contact ).

TENDER

The Staatsschauspiel Dresden is looking for people of all ages who are interested in culture and want to jointly invent and implement cultural projects in rural areas. The aim of the initiative is to initiate and support sustainable impulses for a culture of togetherness.

If your application is selected, the X-Dörfer project management will come to your location to develop the idea further together and to find out where the project needs support. Do you still need a brilliant idea, more committed fellow campaigners from the village or neighboring communities, an organizational structure, cooperation partners or professional artists from outside? Ultimately, the idea is to be implemented on site by those involved with the support of the X-Dörfer project management.

The project period is 2023 and/or 2024.

THE PROJECT PROVIDES AS REQUIRED:

• Advice on brainstorming
• Organizational support
• Fees for artists who live locally or who are invited from outside.
• possibly travel and accommodation costs
• Material costs for the project
• Public relations support
• if the project is successfully completed, assistance with applications for funding for the following year

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:

• First idea
• Short letter of motivation
• Brief self-portrayal
• Approximate time table
• Who else could you include?

The application should not comprise more than one or two A4 pages in total.

APPLICATION EXPLANATIONS:

After a pre-selection of the applications received, one or two exchange meetings take place on site. A final decision is then made as to whether cooperation is in the interest of all parties involved.

If the application is a barrier and if you have any questions, the project team Miriam Tscholl and Claudia Leutemann can be reached at xdoerferstaatsschauspiel-dresden.de. We are also happy to advise you in an online meeting or telephone call.

The relatively young chapel, built in 1887, was demolished in the 1950s in connection with the establishment of the border strip. Crowds of pilgrims used to come here on the feast of the Visitation until World War II, and efforts are being made to restore this tradition today.

The archaeological investigations were carried out in October and November of this year by the regional museum in Teplitz (Teplice) in cooperation with the nature conservation station in the Eastern Ore Mountains from Altenberg and funded by the Federal Agency for Political Education.

At the end of the event, the uncovered excavations will be filled up again together. Visitors have the unique opportunity to see the finds "in situ".

The event takes place in any weather!

Arrival by public transport: With bus 360 at 11:42 a.m. from Dresden main station via Dippoldiswalde and Altenberg to Zinnwald Wendeplatz (arrival 12:52 p.m., walk to the chapel approx. 4 km on the road) or České Pomezi (arrival 12:55 p.m o'clock, footpath to the chapel approx. 4 km through the forest).

Danger! The road Cinovec - Fojtovice is not cleared in winter! On-site parking is not permitted for security reasons.

During the totalitarian regime, Benno Beneš was actively involved in secret Salesian activities for young people, after reunification he was behind the founding of the Salesian publishing house Portal, the social-theological school Jabok and the Salesian missions in Bulgaria.

He has been active in Teplice since 2003, where he has been leading the local Salesian community for years and has had a significant impact on it; since the early 1990's he has been involved in the development of the local Salesian ministry which without him would not have nearly the same background and could not serve as many people in the city. He was very active in restoring damaged relations between Germans and Czechs. Coming from a Czech-German family, he experienced the consequences of nationalist hatred in his youth. In 2015 he was awarded the Golden Dove of Peace for his work.

On Thursday, December 1st, 2022 at 5.30 p.m. the premiere of the biographical film "Benno - a man among us" about the Salesian Benno Beneš from Osek will take place in the Teplice House of Culture in the Květen cinema.

A Moravian town 1954: Mira defies her parents and goes ice-skating. She is punished with not getting a cupcake, but this event changes her life forever. Tragedy binds her to her taciturn, oddball Aunt Hana, and the two must learn to live together. Gradually, the story of her Jewish ancestors is revealed and Mira learns to understand why her aunt finds it so difficult to find her way in life.

Three generations of family history in the 20th century. Two skilfully interwoven time levels and destinies in cruel times. In addition to the suffering they have endured, two women also have to deal with the question of guilt when their own actions cause suffering to others, consciously or unconsciously. And how do you bear to be the only one to survive.

The story, based on true events, is written at a gripping pace, dramatic like a movie. Alena Mornštajnová's multi-award-winning novel has been translated into more than a dozen languages and is a bestseller in the Czech Republic.

Alena Mornštajnová, born 1963, is a Czech writer and translator. She wrote four novels and a children's book. Alena Mornštajnová studied English and Czech at the University of Ostrava. She made her debut in 2013 with the novel Slepá mapa (Blind Map) and in 2015 her second novel Hotýlek (The Little Hotel). Mainly because of her third novel, Hana, Alena Mornštajnová has been one of the most popular contemporary Czech writers since 2017. Her novel Hana was awarded the Czech Book Prize 2018, among others, and was named Book of the Year 2017 on the Databáze knih (Database of Books) website.

Historically, there are very close relations between Saxony and Bohemia. This can also be seen on old maps. For this reason, the Euroregion Elbe/Labe has published an atlas with historical maps of Bohemia and Saxony with a special focus on the territory of today's Euroregion.

There are 62 maps on 128 pages. The oldest is from 1280, the most recent are tourist maps from 1930. Explanations in German and Czech are included for all maps and various cartographic and historical topics (see below for table of contents). Thanks to the large format (38 cm by 31 cm) and high quality printing, many details are visible. Some special features are highlighted again in enlargements.

The atlas is now available at the Euroregion office in Dresden as well as in some bookshops in the region at a price of 30 Euro. For a shipping fee of 5 Euro and against prepayment we will also gladly send it to you. If you want to get an idea beforehand, you can download the atlas as PDF (Attention: 55 MB).

The creation of the atlas was supported with funds from the European Union from the Small Projects Fund in the Elbe/Labe Euroregion.

The later Czech President Václav Havel wrote exactly 165 letters to his wife Olga during the almost five years he spent in prison. These letters were not mere correspondence. Václav Havel's letters represent a legacy of European intellectual history. They are letters out of love and in a philosophical search for horizons and truth for a free society.

The event will take place at the Bautzner Strasse Memorial, Bautzner Strasse 112a, 01099 Dresden, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Heinrich Lumpe was the founder of the Lumpepark bird sanctuary, which was located on the site of today's zoo in Ústí nad Labem.

During this event we will remember his legacy and Heinrich Lumpe himself will guide you through the sites that have survived to this day.

The event begins at 11:00 am when Mr. Lumpe arrives at the zoo and meets the current director. Together they will talk about the history and future of the zoo (also in German).

A map and information sheet in German will be available at the cash desk.

Local elections were held in the Czech Republic on September 23 and 24, 2022. The turnout in the Ústí nad Labem region was 40.60%. Voter turnout in local elections has traditionally been relatively low. In the districts of the Elbe/Labe Euroregion (Litoměřice, Děčín, Ústí nad Labem, Teplice), the highest turnout was recorded in the Litoměřice district (48.21%) and the lowest in Ústí nad Labem (38.39%).

There are more than 6,250 municipalities in the Czech Republic, half of which have fewer than 500 inhabitants. Typical are large differences between larger towns (county and county towns) and smaller "rural settlements".

In smaller cities and towns, local associations of independent candidates usually won. In the larger county or district towns, parties with a national presence have been successful.

As far as general trends are concerned, it should be noted that the ANO 2011 movement in the big cities of the Ústí nad Labem region became even stronger. The Freedom and Direct Democracy party (SPD), which in many places is making its debut on municipal councils, is also among the victors.

Negotiations are currently underway to form coalitions in individual municipalities and cities. Due to legal deadlines, the first meetings of the new councils, in which new mayors and deputy mayors are elected, will take place in most municipalities within 25 days of the election.

At the same time, senate elections were held for a third of the country's senate. In the Ústí district, two candidates made it to the second round of the Senate elections that will be held on September 30 and October 1: Petr Nedvědický (Mayor of Ústí) for ANO 2011 and Martin Krsek (historian from Ústí) for SEN 21.

Detailed results of local elections can be found on the volby.cz website (only in Czech).

From 07.10.-08.10.2022 the trinational conference Under Pressure on the topics of right-wing populism, conspiracy myths and fake news will take place at the Goethe-Institut Dresden. The following questions will be discussed: What can countries learn from each other when it comes to civil society support for refugees? And how can democratic actors work together across borders?

In the Czech Republic, Poland and (East) Germany there are numerous parallel developments with regard to dealing with right-wing populism, conspiracy ideologies and fake news. The political public in these countries is highly polarized. The influence of anti-democratic attitudes is growing, especially in rural areas. In the context of the disputes surrounding the corona pandemic or the conflict in Ukraine, we are seeing a significant increase in conspiracy stories and targeted disinformation.

New alliances have emerged between organized right-wing extremism, right-wing populism and supporters of conspiracy ideas. At the same time, committed people support the refugees from Ukraine who arrive in Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany. All of these developments mean that democratic civil societies are moving into the focus of new undemocratic alliances and are coming under increasing pressure.

The specialist conference Under Pressure is a joint event by: Kulturbüro Sachsen eV , Bundesverband Mobileberatung eV and the Center for International Cultural Education at the Goethe-Institut Dresden in cooperation with the Friedrich-Ebert Foundation and the Foundation against Racism . Look forward to lectures, exchange, networking opportunities and discussions with numerous actors and experts, including Prof. Dr. Jens Christian Wagner, Dr. Olga Richterová and Bartosz Jozefiak.

The organizers would like to draw attention to another program highlight. Katharina Nocun will be released on Friday, October 7th, 2022 from her book “True Facts. What really helps against conspiracy narratives".

The full program can be found here .

Together with the Czech partner organization ČSOP Ophidia, BUND Dresden is organizing the German-Czech Care4Nature Camp for the second time this year.

From 15th to 21st August 2022 you can travel with us to the Ore Mountains for a week and have the opportunity to learn a lot about meadow care, to discover the species-rich mountain meadows and to get involved in nature conservation in a very practical way. Together with young adults from the Czech Republic and Germany, we tackle it and, with a lot of fun and energy, we are committed to preserving biodiversity in the Ore Mountains.

What awaits you?

A varied program awaits you: the focus is on tending the mountain meadows with a scythe. Never sen? No problem: we have a scythe instructor who will support us with the traditional hand mowing. Practice all the steps of making hay and try out other biotope care measures. There are also technical contributions and excursions, and the beautiful mine grounds and their immediate surroundings are also explored every year. You can also look forward to a trip to the organic farm. There we will make cheese ourselves and enjoy delicious food. We end the evenings with games or spending time together around the campfire. Do you want to be there? Then register now until 19.07. on! We look forward to you!

Where does the camp take place?

The camp takes place on the German-Czech border in the Ore Mountains. We find accommodation in a pension in Oberwiesenthal. On our daily way to the care areas, we hike through the beautiful mine grounds with giant ferns and rare plants such as arnica, blue tarantula, fire lily and gaping monkshood. There is also time to snack on raspberries and blueberries along the way and to jump into the cool water on the way back.

The area has a long and interesting history - where mountain farmers used to graze their cattle, valuable meadows and moors were created, which have a high natural value as a cultural landscape due to their former use and are home to rare species.

The project is funded by the German-Czech Future Fund, the Heidehof Foundation and the GLS Bank.

Who's in?

The Care4Nature Camp is particularly aimed at young adults aged 16 to 27 from Germany and the Czech Republic. The number of participants is limited to 20 people. So register quickly and be there!

How much does that cost you?

This adventure costs you nothing! Participation in the camp, including travel expenses, accommodation and meals, is free of charge.

If you are interested, please send an email to naturschutz@bund-dresden.de and browse through the reports on our website.

In order to see the meadows in the Eastern Ore Mountains in full bloom and to preserve biodiversity, these biotopes need annual care. You contribute to the preservation of the cultural landscape of the Ore Mountains. You are actively involved in the development of the border region and have a lot of fun. On the last day of the camp we organize the German-Czech neighborhood festival in Bohemian-Zinnwald.

Spend 4 days on blooming mountain meadows and wet meadows - with the scythes, brush cutters and hand saws tending to the rocks, with pitchforks and rakes at the hay harvest.

Explore the culture and history of the border region for 3 days - we will cycle through the countryside and look for traces of human fate in nature.

On June 25, 2022, the Euroregion Elbe/Labe celebrated the 30th anniversary of its founding with a German-Czech cultural festival at the Mückentürmchen . This place was ideal due to its location almost on the border and the wide view of almost the entire Euroregion.

The opening of the resurrected chapel in Vorderzinnwald with the so-called Fürstenau Madonna altar started at 9 a.m. In a Euroregion project, both were made tangible in 3D using modern technology (augmented reality). Around 40 people came to the meeting point early in the morning in damp weather to try it out for the first time. Then they hiked through the former Vorderzinnwald to the mosquito tower. Luckily, the group was spared the rain, even though the clouds hung low.

The program started at 11 a.m. The guests present were welcomed by Rüdiger Kubsch, Managing Director of the Euroregion on the German side, Petr Nedvědicky, the Czech Co-President, and Manuela Förster as the German Vice-President.

Will Eifell from Ústí nad Labem and Ju von Dölzschen from Dresden entertained the guests with music on the restaurant terrace. In the St. Wolfgang Chapel, Renata Bulvová, Radek Fridrich, Milan Hrabal, Uwe Kolbe and Michael Zschech offered various insights into their literary work. The Pohadlo Theater performed two performances for the children and did handicrafts with them. Thomas Preibisch invited to the potato print, the result of which will adorn the Euroregion's office. Painter Naďa Hoštová introduced plein-air painting, landscape artists from JT Landartrio created an installation next to the cemetery.

In the anteroom of the restaurant, visitors could find out about places that had disappeared in the border area and go on a guided tour through the former towns of Ebersdorf (Habartice) and Vorderzinnwald (Přední Cínovec) in search of traces. Three tours were offered in the Starý Martin tunnel, a little below the mosquito tower.

Unfortunately, the weather was not so kind to the Euroregion. It was raining the night before and the morning of the festival, and the sun didn't come out until the afternoon. As a result, the number of guests who didn't come specifically for the anniversary celebration was significantly lower than expected. Nevertheless, according to a rough estimate, around 500 people were at the mosquito tower during the day.

We would like to thank all the artistic participants, the expert guides of the excursions and Mr. Stifter from the Mückentürmchen for their commitment and good cooperation. The event was funded from the small projects fund in the Euroregion Elbe/Labe.

Author reading and discussion

Czech Republic selected : Jiří Hájíček - vignettes with a sailing ship

Marie, a divorced 47-year-old literature professor, is spending her summer vacation in Český Krumlov in her sister's nearly empty apartment. As she strolls through the streets in the stream of tourists, she meets the young bookseller Filip. Their budding romance has something of the atmosphere of a hot July day and is reminiscent of literary models. Marie had chosen the city mainly because she hoped to be able to improve her relationship with her sister and her old and sick parents and to take care of her own loneliness. Because she is in a life crisis: memories of the past overwhelm her, and the prospect of approaching old age is not pleasant either. The literary scholar recapitulates what was and considers how she wants to live in the future and what she can expect from a "Shakespearean love".

Jiří Hájíček (born in České Budějovice) is one of the outstanding Czech authors of our time. He has received numerous high awards for his novels, all of which are set in the South Bohemian countryside. In Dresden he presents his book "Vignettes with a Sailing Ship" (Plachetnice na vinětách).

Cestování po Německu bude v létě levnější: Ve čtvrtek schválil Spolkový sněm, že zlevní na tři měsíce nejen tankování benzinu, at tím i jízdu autem, ale take jízdu autobusem a vlakem. Následně Spolková rada 20.5. v pátek odhlasovala financování jízdenku za devět eur.

Podle plánů SPD, Zelených a FDP budou v červnu, červenci a srpnu k dispozici měsíční jízdenky v ceně devět eur, které umožní využívat všechny autobusy a vlaky v místní a regionální dopravě v celém Německu.

Podle zákona schvaleného Spolkovým sněmem má ztrátu příjmů kompenzovat spolková vláda. Plánovaná dotace je ve výši 2.5 billion euros.

How the crisis in the East saved European identity

Open Europe has created a new generation of immigrants. Academics, professionals, artists - successful Europeans.

They are envied by many. They no longer do the dirty work. They therefore see themselves neither as guests nor as workers - they feel as citizens of Europe. Of course they want to belong everywhere, but they also want to leave if they like it better somewhere else.

But what is behind the facades of the successful EU academics? How do they deal with long-distance relationships, loneliness, or expectations of gratitude and loyalty? Can they share their sorrows with those close to them? Or has the topic become a taboo that is not talked about?

And what does all this have to do with European identity?

The documentary, physical theater piece looks behind the scenes of freedom of movement and success.

More about the event

The production was funded by the festival "The frame is the program" and "Ran an die Arbeit!", the German-Czech Future Fund, the Federal Association of Socio-Culture and the Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony. This measure is co-financed by taxes on the basis of the budget approved by the members of the Saxon state parliament.

Debatujeme spolu o společných tematech

Abychom ukázali témata v jejich kontroverznosti, vyvinuli jsme v Aktion Bürgercourage eV v únoru 2021 new format akcí, který jsme nazvali "Debatujeme kurážně odvážně". Tento formát si klade za cíl představit široké spektrum rozmanitých argumentů k danému tématu a přispět tak k tomu, aby si člověk mohl vytvořit fundovaný názor, a zároveň podnítit aktivní zapojení publika.

Česko-německé debaty se sousedy představují v rámci tohoto formátu vlastní řadu a mají význam pro další mezinárodní a sousedské sbližování obou stran. Česko-německé vztahy jsou úzce provázány av mnohém ohledu již mohou být příkladem soudržnosti dvou sousedních států. Přesto obě země v našem globalizovaném světě často stojí před výzvami, které samy nemohou zvládnout – v aktuálních krizích a vzhledem k válce na Ukrajině to platí více než kdy jindy. Řada debat se koná v cooperaci s euroregionem Elbe/Labe.

Lenka Reinerová was the last German-speaking author in Prague, the great lady of German-Czech literature, Jewish, and she survived them all until her death in Prague in 2008: Anna Seghers, Egon Erwin Kisch, Max Brod. She fled from the Nazis via Paris, Marseille and Casablanca to Mexico City, after her return she was imprisoned in Czechoslovakia as part of the Stalinist purges – without a doubt, Lenka Reinerová lived one of the most moving biographies of the past century.

In her book, which is as poetic as it is personal, her daughter Anna Fodorová, who now lives in London as a psychotherapist, bids farewell to her famous mother. It is the story of Lenka Reinerová's final years, it is a new encounter with the great lady of German-Czech literature, and it is a grown-up daughter's view of life with her mother - personal, poetic and deeply touching.

The municipality of Tisá together with the Euroregion Elbe/Labe (and funded by the EU) published the chronicle of Tisá until 1943 in autumn 2021. This is now available in some free copies at the Euroregion offices in Dresden and in Ústí.

The chronicle proper does not begin until after the founding of Czechoslovakia, but the first chapters present a detailed review of the history of the village since the Middle Ages. Of particular interest, however, are the contemporary descriptions of the 1920s and 1930s, which give a good insight into the life and views of the people of that time.

The chronicle was kept until 1943. There is another booklet covering the years 1945/1946, but only in Czech. This is also available from the Euroregion.

If you are interested, please contact the respective Euroregion office (see Contact) and arrange to pick up the book.

Today the members of the local steering committee met for the last time as part of the ongoing small projects fund in Děčín Castle to decide on the funding of 7 Saxon and 5 Czech projects. All project applications were approved unanimously. The funding volume for the approved projects totals EUR 158,586.76.

Some projects - especially on the Czech side - have to wait on a waiting list so that funds that are still committed from ongoing projects are not being used in order to receive their funding. However, it can be assumed that ultimately all projects can actually be supported.

Our European continent has already experienced too many wars in the past that have left generations scarred. The process of European and cross-border integration is therefore essential for promoting peace and security and respecting fundamental rights and freedoms.

The Executive Committee of the Association of European Border Regions condemns the invasion of Ukrainian territory by the armed forces of the Russian Federation. Determining the borders by means of war does not belong into the 21st Century, and falls apart from AEBR expectations from Russia, as declared in our Annual Conference in Kursk (close to the Russian-Ukrainian border) on 21 September 2011: good practices in cross-border cooperation and neighbourhood.

We also support the measures taken by the institutions of the European Union and international organisations to protect the Ukrainian population, regions and cities, the respect to the Rule of Law and the international obligations deriving from treaties, as well as the interests of the Union.

AEBR Executive Committee calls on the Russian Federation to respect Ukraine's state integrity and sovereignty and its existing territorial borders. It, therefore, calls to cease its military actions against Ukraine immediately, withdraw its troops from Ukraine and return to a peaceful diplomatic solution. Similarly, Russia must immediately withdraw the recognition of the so-called 'People's Republics' Donetsk and Luhansk, which is contrary to international law.

Here is the announcement of the future fund for the new program "A year at the border" :

The German-Czech border region plays a key role for mutual relations and thus also for the future fund, as it offers people from both countries the opportunity to get in touch with each other over short distances, to meet each other directly and to learn from each other. Many people and organizations along the border are already actively shaping the German-Czech neighborhood. Nevertheless, we believe that there is still hidden potential for cooperation and partnership to be discovered and used.

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the German-Czech Declaration, the Future Fund is launching the One Year at the Border program for the year 2022/23 with the aim of strengthening local German-Czech neighborliness and thus contributing to the development of a lively border region. A total of eight Germans and Czechs will be active on both sides of the border in the various border regions: They will sound out and evaluate potential for encounters and cooperation, arrange offers and contacts and help to set up joint projects - wherever German and Czech partners need support, the bilingual enablers will lend a helping hand.

On December 23rd the Czech government has issued a new regulation on entry to the Czech Republic, which will apply from December 27th, 2021.

On the one hand, this means that people who have been vaccinated twice must show a negative PCR test. The only exceptions are people with a booster vaccination and children. In some cases, an antigen test is sufficient.

On the other hand, small border traffic will be suspended from December 30th, 2021 to January 1st, 2022. During those three days the same rules apply to short trips to the Czech Republic as to longer visits.

Cross-border commuters are not affected by these new regulations.

In an online meeting, the local steering committee for the small project fund in the Euroregion Elbe/Labe aprroved 5 Saxon and 4 Czech project applications. These include a total funding volume of 115,183.01 euros.

To the overview of the approved projects

The funds on the Czech side are formally exhausted, on the Saxon side € 32,854.70 are still available. In both cases, however, it is to be expected that further means will be available, since not all current projects will fully use their approved funding.

In January 2022 there will be one last opportunity to submit applications to the small project fund. The projects must be finished by the end of October 2022 and then settled within 2 months.

In the Czech-German border region, cross-border hiking, shopping and doing sports as well as mutual visits have fortunately become part of everyday life in cross-border relationships. The format Couragiert debattiert - Neighborhood Talks is dedicated to this friendship and offers bilingual conversation and discussion formats on current topics in order to continuously strengthen Czech-German relations.

But what about the cross-border medical care of patients? The next edition of the format on November 25, 2021, 7:00 p.m.

What happens if the nearest hospital is across the border after an accident? What special challenge does the border region have to face? Aside from communication difficulties, what are the greatest common challenges? How can both countries and the Czech-German border region strengthen and expand medical (emergency) care together? What is needed for well-functioning basic medical care in the Euroregion?

A Czech-German panel with the following experts will deal with these and other questions:

• Dr. Bernd Brenner, specialist in anesthesiology and emergency medicine, medical director of rescue services in the Görlitz district
• Petr Severa, Head of the Health Care Unit, Ústi District Office
• Pavel Šebesta Head of the Medical Control Center of the Rescue Service of the Ústí n. L. District

The evening will be moderated by Markéta Knoppik, specialist at Aktion Civil Courage e. V., the competence center for communal political education and advice in Saxony. The event is bilingual. Simultaneous translation into both Czech and German has been set up.

Invitation of the Saxon State Ministry of Justice and for Democracy, Europe and Equality:

As the Saxon State Ministry of Justice and for Democracy, Europe and Equality (SMJusDEG), we want to actively participate in the future process of the EU. That is why we are launching a cross-border dialogue. On 10 and 11 December 2021, about 100 citizens from Saxony, Lower Silesia, Karlovy Vary Region, Ústí Region, Grand Est (France) and Baden-Württemberg (Germany) will meet at the 6-Regions Dialogue. Here they debate about living together in the border regions and share their experiences.

All citizens from the participating regions can take part. We would be particularly pleased if the participants of the trinational dialogue "Seams of Europe: Border Regions in Dialogue" were to take part once again and bring the ideas they found there to this six-region dialogue.

Invitation from the Saxon State Ministry of Justice and Democracy, Europe and Equality:

As the Saxon State Ministry of Justice and for Democracy, Europe and Equality (SMJusDEG), we want to actively participate in the future process of the EU. That is why we are starting a cross-border dialogue. The tri-national youth forum in Görlitz kicked off this dialogue process at the beginning of October.

We now invite you to take part in a dialogue with citizens from Saxony, Lower Silesia (Poland), the Karlovy Vary region, the Ústí region (Czech Republic), Grand Est (France) and Baden-Württemberg. This dialogue takes place in three events.

The geographical location of the Free State of Saxony in the triangle between Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic offers the best conditions for cross-border dialogue formats. We want to listen to the border regions and find out what is particularly important to you as citizens in relation to the European Union. Where do you see the greatest challenges? Is it climate change? Is it the desire for more direct democracy? Or something completely different?

We would like to ask you how closely you feel connected to the European Union. Could you envision European citizenship? Should the regions have a greater say at European level? Should EU citizens aged 16 and over be able to vote? What about respect for human rights in the EU?

Through the exchange, we want to collect your ideas for future coexistence in the border regions in the east and west of the European Union and together make a contribution to the future of Europe.

NOTE: The follow-up event will take place as a six-region dialogue with the participation of Baden-Württemberg (DEU) and Grand Est (FRA) on December 10-11, 2021 (Fridays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3.30 p.m.) as Online event. Please make a note of this date in advance! Here is the link to register for the six-region dialogue: https://mithaben.sachsen.de/1026874

Petr Stančík and Iris Milde present his exciting story from the Second World War: a man with steel springs on his shoes, who can jump unusually far and high, uses his skills to sabotage the German war economy. A resistance fighter and an elusive ghost above the rooftops of Prague at night. He was also involved in the assassination attempt on Reinhard Heydrich, Hitler's husband in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. The name of the mysterious hero is Franz Pérák - the jump man. In the novel, he falls in love with the beautiful resistance fighter Jitka, who fights with him against the occupiers. At the same time he tries to solve the riddle of his own identity. So who is Pérák, the superhero from Prague? The answer that Petr Stančík offers is beyond imagination power.

The writer, poet and playwright Petr Stančík (1968) delights readers in his diverse work with a mixture of facts, mysticism, humor and unbridled imagination. For his novel The Mummy Mill (Mlýn na mumie), published in 2014, Stančík received the Czech Republic's most prestigious literary prize Magnesia Litera. The bestseller has so far been translated into five languages. His sci-fi adventure for young readers H2O and the secret water mission was awarded the Golden Ribbon for best children's literature.

A cooperation between: Euroregion Elbe / Labe, Dresden City Libraries, Czech Literature Center (ČLC) and Czech Center Berlin.

Communication from the German-Czech Future Fund on the RESTART II program:

Even if the pandemic situation has improved significantly in both countries, it should be noted that the general uncertainty and the uncertainty regarding realistic dates, suitable formats and meaningful project content that have burdened us in the last few weeks have not yet completely subsided .

In order to facilitate the decision-making process in favor of future projects at this moment and to make their implementation possible at all, we have decided to launch a new special funding program RE-START II, which will replace the existing special funding programs (RE-START, digital or outdoors?) and expanded. We firmly believe that together we will succeed in the German-Czech restart.

In this program, all meeting formats can be continuously funded with a maximum of CZK 100,000 or € 4,000.

The RE-START-II program is aimed at German and Czech actors of all funding areas and ages (except renovation of monuments and publications) who want to implement projects from July to December 2021 but were unable to submit a regular project application to the future fund due to the short-term nature of the project.

Funding height:

• The maximum funding amount is CZK 100,000 or € 4,000 and can amount to up to 70% of the total costs.

Use of the grant:

• The grant is intended primarily for the items of travel expenses, accommodation and meals for the participants.

Funding conditions:

• In addition to the standard criteria for granting a grant, the funded projects must meet the following conditions:
• The project has to be realized between July and December 2021.
•  
• Applicants who can apply for and implement their projects within the regular deadlines are excluded.
•  
• The support may not be combined with other grants from the fund that have already been approved.

Type of application:

• Applications can be submitted via the online system from July 1, 2021 until November 15, 2021 at the latest, outside of the usual deadlines.
•  
• The decision on the application is made by the management of the DTZF within a shortened period.

The exact details as well as the link to the application can be found on the website of the German-Czech Future Fund:

Thanks to the improving epidemiological situation and the easing of border traffic, the Elbe / Labe Euroregion has started selling the Euroregion's cultural pass for 2021. It is a popular and long-term relief for Czech guests in cultural institutions on the Saxon side of the EEL.

Holders of the culture pass receive reduced admission to more than 50 Saxon cultural institutions.

A new feature in 2021 is the discounted entry for families to the Oskarshausen children's adventure area in Freital.

The passes are currently being distributed to the tourist information offices in the Euroregion. The culture pass is also available from the Euroregion Secretariat in Ústí or by post.

(This is an automatic translation by Google Translator.)

The local steering committee in the small project fund of the Euroregion Elbe / Labe decided in its meeting on June 18, 2021 to support 13 projects. 7 of these projects have a German lead partner and six have a Czech one. A total of 173,777.61 Euros in funding was committed.

The meeting took place in the culture hall in Chlumec, which offered enough space to keep the necessary distances. We thank the city of Chlumec for their kind support.

To the list of approved projects

The Robert Koch Institute announced this afternoon that the Czech Republic will no longer be classified as a risk area as of Sunday due to the sharp decrease in the number of infections. This removes all restrictions on entry (including return) from the Czech Republic.

At the same time, the Czech government is moving Germany down to the orange category from 7.6. (Monday!), so to medium risk. This does not remove all restrictions on entry, but in particular the obligation to quarantine and a second corona test is no longer necessary. Registration and a negative corona test are still required for entry.

We will update our page with all relevant Corona regulations on entry and residence as soon as the new regulations come into force.

The pandemic situation is gradually improving on both sides of the border, but one year of Corona has had a huge impact on the lives of many. Children, young people and families are particularly affected, including people on short-time work and senior citizens. In the border regions in particular, the social consequences of the current crisis and its effects in the future could become particularly evident.

That is why the German-Czech Future Fund wants to once again support the ideas and activities of associations, non-profit organizations and initiatives that are able to counter the consequences of the pandemic exactly where it is really necessary. You would like to support those who do something against the above and similar effects of the corona pandemic and support social and health activities in the German-Czech border area.

Target group:

• Non-profit organizations, communities, associations
• Providers of social and health services, nursing homes, residential groups, children's facilities, etc.
• Educational and cultural initiatives

Funding conditions:

• Activities that react to problems that have arisen or intensified as a result of the corona crisis and lead to a lessening of the health and social consequences (e.g. activities that counteract social loneliness or the negative consequences of missed lessons, support for mental and physical health, help for disadvantaged groups, creative solutions for the current situation, etc.)
• the activities must be carried out in the German-Czech border area (up to 30 km from the border)
• In contrast to the usual funding, no Czech project partner is required

Funding height:

• max. 8000 euros
• Funding level 100%, co-financing is not necessary

Timeframe:

• Application: ongoing (until the funds are exhausted) until July 31, implementation of the project in the period from February 1 to September 30, 2021

All detailed information can be found on the website of the German-Czech Future Fund .

On May 13, 2021, an ordinance adopted today by the federal government will come into force. For the first time, this also regulates the quarantine obligation nationwide, while so far this has been done by the federal states.

According to the regulation, no quarantine is required when returning from a risk area if you have been there for a maximum of 24 hours. Contrary to the previous Saxon regulation, this also applies to travel without an important reason, i.e. also to tourism and recreation.

All regulations in detail

Due to the steadily decreasing number of infections in the Czech Republic, the Robert Koch Institute announced today at noon that the Czech Republic will only be classified as a "normal" risk area from May 2nd. So far it was still a high incidence area.

That reduces the requirements for corona tests for cross-border commuters. The lower classification has no real significance for anyone else.

Around a third of EU citizens live and work in border regions. The boundaries have a direct and indirect effect on their daily life. People living in border regions often face particular challenges, be it in terms of job search, access to health care and other public services, or daily commuting and overcoming administrative problems. The most effective instrument for overcoming the separation effect of borders has been shown to be cross-border cooperation.

A Europe-wide conference on the future of Europe will open in Strasbourg on May 9th. The European Committee of the Regions wants to play an active role in this conference, so its members organize local debates in their regions. With this debate, the Euroregion Neisse would like to contribute to formulating a vision of how cross-border cooperation will work in the future and what role border regions should play in this.

The debate is public and we look forward to a broad discussion. People with important functions and many years of experience in cross-border cooperation will speak:

• Martin Půta , President of the Liberec Region, President of the Nisa Euroregion, member of the Committee of the Regions
• Bernd Lange , District Administrator of the district of Görlitz, President of the Euroregion Neisse, member of the Committee of the Regions
• Pavel Branda , Deputy Mayor of Rádlo, member of the Committee of the Regions, Vice-President of AEBR
• Thomas Zenker , Mayor of Zittau (to be confirmed)
• Iva Linderová, director of the District Chamber of Commerce in Jablonec nad Nisou
• Regina Gellrich , Head of the Saxon State Office for Early Neighbor Language Education
• Hedvika Zimmermannová , pastor of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church, representative of the city of Hrádek nad Nisou
• Hynek Böhm , Assistant Professor, Institute of Geography, Technical University of Liberec
• Blanka Konvalinová , emeritus director of the Regional Scientific Library in Liberec, chairwoman of the EUREX library
• Martín Guillermo Ramírez , General Secretary of AEBR (Association of European Border Regions)
• Slaven Klobucar , EGTC Monitoring Platform, European Committee of the Regions

Moderation: David Hamr, Czech Radio Liberec

Date: April 21, 2021, 2.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m.

https://euconf-eu.zoom.us/j/98598410661?pwd=aElKS1p0cnRQS0gxOGFlOVhGWWdDQT09

Discussion topics:

• What is the significance of cross-border cooperation for our region?
• What are the main obstacles to the development of cross-border cooperation (legal, administrative, linguistic, economic, human ...)? What's the best way to overcome it?
• What effects did / does the COVID-19 pandemic have on cross-border cooperation? How should action be taken in the future to prevent collaboration from being so impaired?
• What is the minimum level of cross-border cooperation that the EU and Member States must guarantee in similar crises?
• What should cross-border governance look like in the future? For example, should an integrated room planning system work? A common territorial development strategy?
• What should life in border regions look like? Access to public services? Education? Culture? Health care? Crisis management?
• Should a cross-border identity be developed? How can you reach them?

Since March 28, 2021, the Robert Koch Institute has no longer classified the Czech Republic as a high-risk area due to the spread of particularly dangerous virus variants, but only because of its high incidence values.

Above all, this makes things easier for cross-border commuters, as well as for business travelers. But family visits and, to a limited extent, small border traffic are also made easier.

To the currently applicable regulations

(This is an automatic translation by Google Translator.)

In the current situation there are not many applicants who dare to apply for a cross-border project. Nevertheless, four project applications were submitted for the meeting of the local steering committee on March 19, 2021. All applications were approved in an online meeting.

The aim of the study is to determine how the experience of work and stress among immigrants / temporary workers / cross-border commuters has changed during the corona pandemic. It is about your personal experience, experiences and points of view. [...]

This group of employees is not sufficiently represented in political discourse and research and generally has an increased risk of stress and psychological illnesses, which can potentially be attributed to the work situation and above all to the unfamiliar life situation (possibly no family environment , different language and culture). Since these factors could be intensified in times of Corona (travel restrictions, fewer opportunities to organize the daily routine outside of work, fewer contacts, increased workload), the aim of the study is to record how you perceive the current situation, what kind of support you need Available and what tools you would use and need in order to deal successfully with the given situation.

Last week the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chemnitz carried out a survey on the effects of the border closure with the Czech Republic on Saxon companies. Here are excerpts from the press release on the results:

IHK demands the fastest possible border opening for commuters

The current entry regulations on the border with the Czech Republic have serious effects on Saxon companies. This is borne out by the results of the most recent survey by the Chemnitz Chamber of Commerce and Industry on the issue of cross-border commuters. Until February 26th, 2021 a total of 255 companies with around 25,000 employees were involved. Around half of the companies come from industry.

“We call on politicians to restore normal conditions at the Czech border as soon as possible. It cannot be that companies are no longer able to work, or only to a limited extent, because they are losing their Czech workforce. Most of the companies would even accept daily testing of their employees”, emphasizes Hans-Joachim Wunderlich, General Manager of the Chemnitz Chamber of Commerce.

According to the results of the survey, the majority of respondents oppose closing the border to commuters. While 47 percent rate this measure as disproportionate, 14 percent consider it necessary. The short-term changes to the Saxon quarantine ordinance as well as the lack of reaction options and insufficient planning security are also seen as extremely critical. [...]

With a view to a possible opening of the border for commuters, two out of three companies are willing to have their commuters tested on a daily basis. This would then be the most frequently tested population group in Europe. Based on this knowledge, the federal and state governments in Bavaria and Saxony should take a joint decision as soon as possible to open the German-Czech border to commuters.

The entire press release and the detailed results can be found on the Chemnitz Chamber of Commerce website .

The IHK calls for participation in a quick survey regarding the economic consequences of the border closure to the Czech Republic for Saxon companies as follows:

In view of the implementation of the Saxon Corona Quarantine Ordinance of February 15, 2021 and the classification of the Czech Republic as a virus variant area, numerous employees who commute from the Czech Republic to Saxony are no longer allowed to cross the border from the Czech Republic to Saxony. Exceptions to the quarantine requirement only apply to relatively few employees. The effects on your company are sometimes devastating, but at least are associated with considerable production-organizational problems, negative commercial effects such as impending contractual penalties and future problems in recruiting skilled workers.

We have to assume that the political actors are only superficially aware of the aforementioned consequences for your company. In order to make the political at the state and federal level the high level of concern in the border regions clear, we urge you to take part in our survey at short notice.

We are bundling many of your individual activities and expect politicians to exit the border closure for our Czech employees as quickly as possible.

Please support us in this joint task with the aim of ending the unlimited border closure for commuters as quickly as possible.

The survey takes a maximum of 5 minutes and is available here until 02/26/21: Survey on the border closure with the Czech Republic

(This is an automatic translation by Google Translator.)

From February 14, 2021, the entire Czech Republic will be classified as a virus variant area by the Federal Republic.

For all flight, train and bus operators, it is now the case that guests from areas with particularly dangerous virus variants cannot be transported to Germany. The only exception is for German citizens or for travelers who live in Germany permanently. Deutsche Bahn has already announced that it will cease all connections to the Czech Republic from Sunday (February 14, 2021).

Country echo: From Sunday, there will be no regional or international train traffic between Germany and the Czech Republic until further notice.

The Sächsische Zeitung published the following article on February 5th:

Book about village history published

The money almost wasn't enough for the German-Czech publication.

From Steffen Neumann

Jitka Tumová from Teplice has worked for 13 years on her bilingual book “The life of the inhabitants below the Kaltenberg over time” about the two villages of Studený (Kaltenbach) and Lipnice (Limpach). She grew up in a weekend house in the villages below Studenec near the town of Česká Kamenice and spent the summer months of her life. After many additions and the extensive translation, the book was finally ready in autumn. To be able to print it, only 2,000 euros were missing.

But in the end they became a problem, despite the many donations Tumová had already received. All hope rested on the fund of the Czech bank ČSOB, which had called a vote to support regional projects. But only the winner could win. The very remote project of a chronicle of two small villages in the former Sudetes had to admit defeat. In addition, the corona pandemic returned and prevented all activities that Ms. Tumová could have developed to raise the necessary money.

Euroregion Elbe / Labe helps

The survey was lost for the book when help came as a surprise. The Sächsische Zeitung reported on the project in November, which is also read in the office of the Euroregion Elbe / Labe. And she decided to step in for the lost survey and contribute the remaining 2,000 euros. “Such publications make an important contribution to the identification with the home region, and that across the border”, explains Rüdiger Kubsch, managing director of the Euroregion, the support and adds: “We were impressed that here civic engagement without the goal of financial gain becomes one bilingual publication. Unfortunately there was no suitable funding program for this, which is why the Euroregion stepped in with its own funds. We didn't want to let this great project fail because of the manageable amount. "

The book has now been printed. Last week Jitka Tumová finally held the book in her hands, which has meanwhile arrived at the local office in neighboring Kunratice (Kunnersdorf). The book can be bought for 590 crowns. After the lockdown is over, it will also be sold in bookstores and tourist information centers. Ms. Tumová hopes to be able to sell the book, which is available in Czech and German, in Germany. The distribution has not yet been clarified.

In Saxony, a general decree will come into force on Jan. 23, 2021. Cross-border commuters who work in Saxony on the basis of an employment contract must be tested twice a week. Upon entry, the employment contract must be carried. If the test is taken before entry, the underlying smear test must have been taken no more than 48 hours before entry. If there is no negative test on entry, a test must be taken immediately after entry and before starting work. When the second test must be taken is not specified. It is therefore possible to take the test directly after entry at the place of work in Saxony! Evidence of the tests must be carried as soon as they are available.

Note: If you enter Saxony or Bavaria only weekly as a cross-border commuter, one test upon entry is sufficient. If you enter daily as a border crosser and work Monday through Friday, one test on Monday and one test on Wednesday would be sufficient to meet the 48-hour requirement. Quick tests will do!

More detailed info at DGB BEZIRK SACHSEN.

General ruling on the regulation of exemptions from the testing requirement for entry from high incidence areas according to § 4 paragraph 2 number 5 of the Coronavirus Entry Regulation dated 22.01.2021, valid from 24.01.2021.

The Saxon state government has shown some understanding: The originally planned obligation for border commuters to be tested twice a week has been toned down. Only one test per week is required, and the obligation does not come into force until January 18.

Czech (and Polish) tests will be recognized.
