Město Krupka a Euroregion Elbe/Labe zvou in výstavu Madona in vandru, která se koná od 9.10. Thu 16.11. in městské knihovně Krupka na Mariánském náměstí 22. 
There is a beautiful view of the Madonou pochází pravděpodobně původně z Pirny av kostele ve Fürstenau se pak nacházel po mnoho desetiletí (spíše staletí). Poté, co byly poutě v Rakousku-Uhersku - a tedy iv Čechách - v 18. století za císaře Josefa II táři Madony do Fürstenau, tedy do Protestantského kostela v Sasku.
Když byl kostel ve Fürstenau v roce 1887 přestavěn, nezbylo již per oltář místo a byl přenesen do Předního Cínovce. Tam, jen pár metrů od hranic, per něj byla postavena kaple, která byla však po odsunu Němců po druhé světové válce zbořena.
Oltář se nakonec ocitl v Regionalálním muzeu v Teplicích, kde je k vidění dodnes.

Symbolic closure of the gap in Louka on Saturday
The resumption of railway operations from Holzhau to Moldava in the Czech Republic is still up in the air. But supporters of the rail connection continue to campaign undaunted to close this gap in cross-border traffic. On Saturday, September 30th , the 5th symbolic closure of the gap will take place at Louka u Litvínova (Meadow) train station. A variety of offers are on the program from 10 a.m. A special historical train also starts in Moldava at 10 a.m. After his arrival on October 11, the official program begins with railway and model railway technology, children's theater, live music and cuisine from Carpatho-Ukraine, the part that belonged to Czechoslovakia between 1918 and 1938.
The train station in Louka is an important junction of two railway lines. The route to Moldava meets the so-called “Goat Railway” (Kozí dráha) to Děčín (Tetschen), which is currently only used between Děčín and Telnice. The Ústí district is therefore planning to expand the train station into a tourist visitor center.
Regular trains to Moldava and back also run all day on Saturday. The special train starts the return journey after the end of the program at 21.05 (arrival in Moldava at 22.35). Tickets can be reserved by email info@erzgebirgs-zeitung.de . There is still a small contingent of tickets available. One trip costs 3 EUR.
Czech Railways increases prices
With the timetable change on December 10th, prices will rise at the Czech state railway České dráhy. As the company announced, prices will increase by an average of 9.5 percent. According to the railway, a ticket without a discount for a 45-kilometer route would then cost 101 crowns, instead of the previous 92. For 100 kilometers, the price increases from 188 to 205 crowns. However, travelers can extend the validity of the old prices for a while if they have bought their ticket by December 9th. Until then, tickets can be purchased up to two months in advance.
České dráhy regularly adjusts prices, most recently by 15 percent in December last year. As is the case today, the railways cited increased costs as the main reason. Conversely, the railway was able to record an increase in passenger numbers. After the corona pandemic, passengers returned to the railway. Passenger numbers rose by 6 percent to 79 million passengers in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year.
Former castle director moves to the presidential castle
Iveta Krupičková ran the castle in Děčín for 12 years and made it the most visited castle in the Ústí district. Above all, she managed the renovation and restoration of almost the entire castle and the castle gardens and managed to ensure that parts of the furnishings returned to the castle on at least a loan basis. But in 2019 the castle director was fired. The reasons were - as it quickly became clear - fictitious. Allegedly errors in economic management were the basis for the termination. Krupičková had always denied this. Police and prosecutors later confirmed that the allegations were completely unfounded. Apparently the city just wanted to get rid of the successful manager and replace her with someone she liked. Two years after the expulsion, the city issued a half-hearted apology.
Now Krupičková could move to a particularly prestigious position. According to a report in the daily newspaper Děčínský deník, she will take over the management of the castle in Lany from October 1st. This information has not been officially confirmed. The castle in Central Bohemia serves as a country residence for the Czech presidents (and previously for the Czechoslovak ones). However, the presidents after 1990 used it very differently. While Václav Havel only stayed there occasionally, but took up the "Conversations from Lany" of his famous predecessor Tomáš G. Masaryk and published them on the radio, his successor Václav Klaus also avoided the castle. In turn, Miloš Zeman, who was seriously ill at the end, hardly showed up in Prague at all and stayed almost entirely in Lany. President Petr Pavel, who has been in office since the spring, has already announced that he does not want to use the castle for private or official purposes. If Ms. Krupičková takes over the management, the castle could also see a completely new use.
Voting for Czech Film Wednesday ends tomorrow

Reminder: New newsletter from the Elbe/Labe Euroregion
A second time on our own behalf: So far we have only had one newsletter from the Elbe/Labe Euroregion. In the future, however, we will send out more information on different topics and are setting up several newsletter lists for this purpose.
So far we have mainly sent information about cultural events via the existing newsletter list, in the last few months especially about Czech Film Wednesday. There is now a new newsletter list that you must subscribe to in order to continue to receive information from us.
You can do this very easily by clicking on this link: Register for the cultural newsletter of the Euroregion Elbe/Labe
Furthermore, in the future we want to send a weekly overview of interesting events in the Czech Republic and the border region, from politics, society and everyday life. You are currently reading the first edition of this. This newsletter could be a good replacement, especially for those who sorely miss the “Look at the Neighbor” page in the SZ Dresden edition.
You can register directly by clicking on this link: Registration for the weekly newsletter of the Euroregion Elbe/Labe
We will only send the weekly review once again via this list. After that, it will only be used for the most important reports from the Euroregion and the border region, i.e. much less often. If you don't want to miss anything, please sign up for one of the other newsletters.

Příští týden je opět ten správný čas: 4.10. There are plenty of places in the world, and there is also a "Czech Film Festival" cycle at 8:00 p.m. in the Central Cinema Promítat českou Filmovou Klasiku. V říjnu je to film Příběhy obyčejného šílenství.
Příběh se točí kolem poněkud nenápadného Petra, který chce vlastně jen zpátky svou Janu, ale neustále se dost 
ává do absurdních situation a je obklopen bizarními lidmi: bláznivou matkou dárkyní krve, která chce zachránit svět, a jejím manželem, který zase zná nazpaměť socialistické zpravy ze 70. let, šéfem s italskou figurí nou, sousedy, u kterých nic nefunguje bez diváků v posteli , .... Díky svým vlastním sklonům k poněkud neobvyklým rozhodnutím však není zcela nevinný v mnoha propletencích, které vypadají jako každodenní šílenství.
Ale (téměř) nikdo tu není doopravdy šílený, každý se jen po svém vyrovnává s životními nepřízněmi a příležitostmi. Celkově tak vzniká poměrně klidný a lakonický film s jemným, někdy až záhadným smyslem pro humor, but also to your českých komedií bývá. Proto je přece máme tak rádi, right?
PS: If you have any other names or a Czech film series, you will be able to see the results of the Euroregion Elbe/Labe region. Pokud byste chtěli být o Filmové středě a dalších akcích české kultury informováni iv budoucnu, je třeba se zaregistrovat k odběru new kulturního zpravodaje Euroregionu.

Žatec is a world heritage site
The town of Žatec (Saaz) and the hop landscape around the town have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The decision was made at the ongoing meeting of the World Heritage Commission in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
This is the first time that a hop-growing region has been added to the World Heritage List. UNESCO recognized the hop landscape, which has been intact for centuries, with the typical hop fields and functional buildings where the hops were processed on site. Specifically, it's about the hop landscape around Žatec and Stekník with the castle. The second complex recognized by UNESCO concerns parts of the historic center of Žatec, especially the Prague suburb, which was built at the end of the 19th century. The buildings intended for hop storage, production and trading still stand here today and hops are also stored, traded and shipped here to this day. Characteristic of the district are the high chimneys, 39 of which are still preserved today. The hops were preserved by sulfurization and the exhaust gases were discharged via the high food.
With the UNESCO World Heritage title, an almost 20-year process comes to an end. In 2018, the application had already made it to the World Heritage Commission. However, the application was recommended for revision again. The decision was supposed to have been made last year, but because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the planned world heritage in Kazan could not take place.
For the Czech Republic, Žatec and the hop landscape are already the 16th World Heritage Site. There is also a world natural heritage site in the Czech Republic with the beech forests of the Jizera Mountains.
Ústí district is recruiting doctors
The Ústí district is tackling the shortage of doctors. With a generous financial package, the district would like to encourage graduates to start working in the Ústí district after their medical studies. The new healthcare concept in the Ústí district expects up to 300,000 crowns (around 12,400 euros) in financial support for studies if the students commit to opening a practice in the district. An additional up to 800,000 crowns will be made available to equip the practice. In total, the district has provided around 60 million crowns (around 2.5 million euros) for the first phase of the scholarship program.
The district assumes that due to the increasing number of baby boomers retiring, there will be staff shortages for at least another five years before the measures that have now been decided take effect.
The Krajská zdravotní hospital network, which brings together several hospitals in the district, is already successfully using a similar scholarship program. According to the hospital association, sufficient staff have so far been found to fill vacancies through various measures, including financial measures.
Erzgebirge nature reserve in planning
What effects would a nature reserve (NSG) in the Erzgebirge have? The information campaign of the Czech State Agency for Nature and Landscape Protection is currently providing information about this. She is currently consulting the plans with the affected communities. So far, the agency representatives have already spoken to 25 of 69 municipalities in the Ústí and Karlovy Vary districts. The process is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
In the most strictly protected areas, fears of greater restrictions in life are naturally higher. “We want to achieve maximum agreement with the communities before the approval process begins,” says Environment Minister Petr Hladík. “So far, a correct exchange of opinions has prevailed,” says agency boss František Pelc, describing the atmosphere.
The establishment of a uniform protection status for the Erzgebirge has been planned for some time. So far, only individual nature reserves, natural monuments and Natura 2000 areas have been distributed as protected areas across the Ore Mountains. However, the new designation as a landscape protection area would only apply to the Czech part.

As on the first Wednesday of each month, we will be showing a Czech film classic in the "Czech Film Wednesday" series on August 2nd at 8 p.m. in the central cinema. This time the imaginative action comedy »Akumulátor 1« from 1994 is shown.
The film depicts the world behind the screen, where mirror beings live on our lives, feeding on leeching our energy while we watch television. This also applies to Olda (Petr Forman) after he was interviewed by television. dr Fišarek (Zdeněk Svěrák) supports him with many natural energies in the fight against his doppelganger. And a new found love helps him too. But he has to fight himself.
With this film in 1994, the two Svěráks created a work that falls a little outside the scope of their other work. There is more action and excitement here - albeit rather ironically than Hollywood blockbusters - and the technical possibilities that were new at the time were also clearly used. In view of the ubiquitous media consumption, the message is probably more relevant today than ever.

On January 15, 1923, Albert Schweitzer visited the Church of Christ in Tetschen (today Děčín). There he played a concert and reported on his work in Africa.
To mark the 100th anniversary of this event, the concert will now be repeated at the same venue on the same instrument. In addition, the choir "Violet Harmony" and soloists from the elementary school Kamenická will perform.
The Euroregion Elbe/Labe provides a shuttle bus from Dresden.

The event is sponsored by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony/Children and Youth Education Office in Dresden, the Saxon Youth Foundation and the Evangelical Church of Bohemian Brethren in Děčín.
July 2023
Like every first Wednesday of the month, on June 7th at 8 p.m. we will be showing a Czech film classic in the "Czech Film Wednesday" series in the central cinema. This time Miloš Forman's bitter satire »Hoří, má panenko« (The Firemen's Ball) from 1967 is shown.
A fire brigade ball in Vrchlabi turns into a complete fiasco: everyone lets themselves be mercilessly flooded and behaves accordingly. For a spontaneous beauty election, candidates must be "won" quickly. However, they are so reluctant that in the end an even more stupid solution is found. As the festival progresses, more and more of the raffle prizes disappear. Nobody here seems to have any qualms about helping themselves. At the peak there is a fire alarm...
In the run-up to the Prague Spring, Miloš Forman shot this evil satire of everyday life in his homeland. The idea came to him after attending a firemen's ball in Vrchlabí. The censors interpreted the film as a criticism of the system and banned it after three weeks. However, he went abroad, became internationally known and was even nominated for an Oscar in 1969.

Pirna - Fürstenau - Vorderzinnwald - Hinterzinnwald - Teplice, these are the previous stations of a beautifully carved medieval Madonna altar, which - because it stayed there the longest - is also known as the Fürstenau Madonna altar.
A new exhibition is now dedicated to the eventful history of this Madonna, who wandered between Saxony and Bohemia. This will be shown in Dubí from July 25, 2023 to September 21, 2023, after which it will set off on its own journey. In November and December it will be shown in Dresden, next year in Pirna and Lauenstein.
The station of the Madonna in Vorderzinnwald in its own chapel can be experienced virtually on site since last year. A modern smartphone or tablet is enough, and both the chapel and the Madonna altar appear to be back in their original place.
In the Fürstenau church you can see a glass replica of the Madonna statue, illuminated from the inside. This was also made last year.

Some new copies of the popular atlas with historical maps of Bohemia, Saxony and above all the area of the Euroregion Elbe/Labe have reached us again from the bookbindery. They are available online, in a few points of sale and in our office in Dresden.
Unfortunately, the bookbindery was once again unable to produce all copies in perfect quality. We therefore offer those with small flaws as 2nd choice at a reduced price of 20 euros.

BUND Dresden and the Czech partner organization ČSOP Ophidia invite you to the 3rd German-Czech Care4Nature Camp:
From 14th to 20th August 2023 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 15.07. at! 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 an apartment house on the German-Czech border near Oberwiesenthal. On our daily way to the care areas, we walk 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 and the Tandem D-CZ coordination center.
Who's in?
The Care4Nature Camp is aimed at young adults aged 16 to 26 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.
Further information and the registration form can be found on the website: https://www.bund-dresden.de/was-wir-tun/care4nature-camp/ .

As the mayor of Budyně nad Ohří for many years, Mr. Petr Medáček was the deputy chairman of the Association of Municipalities of the Labe Euroregion (Czech side of the Elbe/Labe Euroregion). The Council of the Euroregion Labe honored his many years of work in the field of Czech-Saxon cross-border cooperation and would like to use his experience in the next funding period.

The train Wanderexpress Bohemica runs from April to October on weekends and public holidays between Dresden and Litoměřice (Leitmeritz), the Letní kometa (also known as Vánocní kometa during the Christmas season) between Ústí nad Labem and Dresden, each morning one way and back in the afternoon. Both are important connections for weekend getaways.
The corresponding contracts expire in December. According to a report in the newspaper Dresdner Neuste Nachrichten today, however, both sides have committed to continuing the offer to the same extent over the next few years. In view of rising costs, this is not a matter of course.
In the medium term (i.e. after 2025), the Ústecký kraj is aiming for an additional connection by extending an express train from Prague via Ústí n.L. to Dresden. However, the necessary financing is still open, as is the available capacity in the Elbe valley.

On a run-down railway site in Ostrava, two boys find a corpse prepared like a hunting trophy. The police investigations lead into all social strata of the city, into high political circles and into nouveau riche entrepreneurs, into prostitutes and into broken families. The author skilfully links a murder case in the present with a German-Jewish family history that goes back many decades and shows how easily a person can fall victim to anger, history and a suppressed past. A social panorama as an excursion into the hell of the present.
Nela Rywiková, born in Ostrava in 1979, is one of the most interesting new names in Czech crime fiction, which is experiencing a kind of renaissance. Her debut novel Dům číslo 6 (House Number 6) was published in 2013.
Cooperation between: Czech Literature Center (Moravian State Library), Czech Center Berlin, Salon of German-Czech Dialogue, Staatsschauspiel Dresden and the Department for European and International Affairs of the state capital Dresden.

With gentle poetry and humorous exaggeration, the life of three generations of men and women in a special period of Czech history in 1968 is told...
The Šebek and Kraus families are neighbors in a two-story villa in Prague. Father Šebek is an officer and a loyal party soldier, but basically a simple, good-natured man. He praises the virtues of communism and the advances of the Eastern Bloc. Unbreakable plastic glasses from the GDR play an important role as proof of the superiority of communism.
The Kraus family above him maintains a middle-class lifestyle in which art and culture as well as old traditions play a major role. Father Kraus, a former resistance fighter against the Nazis and a staunch anti-communist, not only despises his neighbor's political attitude, but also looks down on his lack of culture. The two, who are also convinced - also in their families - that they are fundamentally right, regularly clash.
Your children, on the other hand, get along well. Michal Šebek is in love with his neighbor, but she has her eyes on someone else. Various visits, drinking bouts, a Christmas party and a funeral bring both families together again and again, resulting in a firework of subtle humor. For young people, the attractions of the capitalist world contrast with the aforementioned unbreakable plastic glasses from the socialist brothers from the GDR. The invasion of Warsaw Pact troops ultimately marks a deep turning point.

The film "Kulový blesk" is about the biggest maneuver in the history of moving: an apartment ring exchange with 12 parties involved. Everyone has to move on the same day, everything has to work, otherwise the chain will fall apart. dr Radosta is an experienced organizer of such actions, but there has never been a 12-ring exchange. This is world-class moving! And it's like watching for fleas. There is always someone wanting to change something, wanting to get an advantage, or has changed their mind and prefers not to move. Some get divorced, others have to marry quickly beforehand. dr Radosta and Knotek, his semi-voluntary assistant, have their hands full. And when it starts, of course, everything gets much worse.

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.

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.

Od roku 2003 působil v Teplicích, kde léta vedl místní salesianskou komunitu a zanechal zde po sobě nesmazatelnou stopu; již od počátku 90. let dbal na rozvoj zdejšího salesiánského díla, které by bez něj nemělo zdaleka takové zázemí a nepomohlo tolika obyvatelům našeho mesta. Notně se věnoval nápravě pošramocených vztahů mezi Němci a Čechy – pocházel z česko-německé rodiny av mládí na vlastní kůži zakusil plody nacionalismem motivované nenávisti. Za tuto činnost získal v roce 2015 Zlatou holubici míru – putovní ocenění, kterým se mohl pyšnit např. Václav Havelči XIV. dalajláma.

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.

September 2022
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.
You can register at: www.bund-dresden.de/was-wir-tun/care4nature-camp/
We are looking forward to you!

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.
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 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.

November 2021
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.

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.

June 2021
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.
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.
May 2021
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.
April 2021
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

- 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?

March 2021
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 Newcastle University Bussiness School is currently researching the effects of the corona pandemic on cross-border commuters in Germany.
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 .

February 2021
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).

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.

January 2021
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.
From the press release of the German-Czech Future Fund:
For months now, the public space has been dominated by news about a certain virus.

November 2020
Every Friday the Czech government reviews the list of countries with a low risk of infection with the corona virus. Germany has been on the list since last week, but this is no longer the case as of November 16.
The real effects are small. For foreigners, the necessity of an important reason for entry continued to apply. Only for those who had one, the procedure will now be more complex ( compulsory quarantine and testing).
You can find the details under Current Corona Rules in Saxony and Czech Republic.
The new entry rules for the Czech Republic will come into force on November 9th. For this purpose, the world will be divided into green, orange and red category countries, depending on how the COVID 19 pandemic develops in the country. Germany is in the orange category, so from there on you basically can enter the Czech Republic as before the pandemic. A scheme of the Czech Ministry of Health for entering the Czech Republic explains this very well.
But: As long as the state of emergency applies (for the time being until 20.11.), foreigners may only enter the Czech Republic for important reasons.
Further details can be found under Current regulations on Covid-19 in Saxony and Czechia.
The Dresden Poetry Award is awarded every two years for poetry in German or Czech. This year the readings will take place online. The works are presented by their authors in videos, and the award ceremony on 8 November will take place in a zoom conference.
In addition to the main award, there will be an audience award donated by the Euroregion Elbe/Labe for the first time. Voting will also take place online.

Why not take a look when the cultural sites are closed for the moment?
Following the agreement of all German states and the Federal Government, largely identical regulations to combat the corona pandemic will come into force nationwide from Monday. These are initially limited until 30 November.
These will lead to a so-called "lockdown light": almost all facilities for entertainment and leisure activities and all gastronomic establishments (except for takeaway sales) and all tourist accommodation will be banned.
In addition, a quarantine of 10 days will be mandatory from tomorrow on when entering the country from risk areas (including the Czech Republic). This can hardly be shortened: only after 5 days a corona test may be carried out, which will end the quarantine if the result is negative. As you normally have to wait at least 2 days for the result, you can shorten the quarantine by a maximum of 3 days.
All regulations in detail can be found in our overview of the corona rules in Saxony and the Czech Republic.
October 2020
After exceeding the incidence value of 50, the state capital Dresden issued a general decree with additional rules - following the Sächsische Corona-Schutz-Verordnung. These include, among other things, the obligation to wear a mouth-nose cover outdoors in the city center, in an area from the main train station through the old city and the main street bin to the entire Äußere Neustadt.
This comes into force on 27.10.
You can find more details in our updated overview of the Corona Rules in Saxony and the Czech Republic.
In the Czech Republic, measures the government is taking to slow the spread of the coronavirus are being tightened further. From Thursday, October 22, 2020, from 6 a.m., only shops with the basic range (groceries, drugstores, pharmacies) or shops with household supplies or animal feed will remain open. Service providers such as hairdressers and libraries are also closing. Schools or restaurants are still closed. You can currently find further details here .

The planned general meeting of the Euroregion Labe on October 15th, 2020 was canceled due to the epidemiological situation in the Czech Republic.
Today, stricter regulations to fight the COVID 19 pandemic came into force in the Czech Republic. Cultural and sporting events are now completely prohibited.
The new regulations were announced last week, a few days after the state of emergency began, because the number of infections had not improved. This unplanned action does not increase confidence in the Czech government's forward-looking approach.
The currently effective regulations can be found here.
On Saturday, October 3rd, 2020, Christian Preußcher, long-time managing director of the Euroregion Elbe / Labe, died after a long illness.
Christian Preußcher was a driving force behind the founding of the Elbe / Labe Euroregion and worked as its managing director on the German side from its founding in 1992 until he retired due to illness in 2014.
In this activity he has made an outstanding contribution to the development and intensification of diverse cross-border relationships between Saxony and the Czech Republic. On the other hand, as a convinced European, cooperation with other border regions and the growing together of Europe were important concerns to which he devoted himself wholeheartedly. It is fair to say that the Elbe / Labe Euroregion and probably also the Saxon-Czech relations would not be at the level they have achieved today without him.
We mourn the loss of this founding father of the Saxon-Czech euroregional cooperation and hereby express our condolences to his relatives.

Do you know ... that Saxony has four Euroregions ? Euroregions are associations of districts and municipalities
at national internal and external borders. Four Euroregions have formed in Saxony: The Euroregions Neisse,
Elbe / Labe, Ore Mountains and Euregion Egrensis. The aim of these regional associations is the cross-border
To promote cooperation in the region in order to increase the competitiveness of the entire area.

The Saxon Minister of Health Petra Köpping informed on Tuesday that Germans can stay in the Czech Republic for 48 hours without having to be in quarantine. Czech citizens are only allowed to stay in Germany for 24 hours without subsequent quarantine.
There are exceptions for commuters and direct neighbors
Commuters should be exempted from the quarantine requirement. Regular testing options continue to exist for them. In addition, people who live in the border region should continue to have neighborly encounters. In principle, Saxony wanted to treat the Czech Republic like a region in Germany in which such a difficult situation would arise.

On Wednesday, the whole of the Czech Republic, with the exception of the Ústí and Moravian-Silesian regions, was placed on the RKI's list of risk areas. These exceptions had caused some surprise, as they could not be justified by the development of infection rates alone. This is also shown by the current "traffic light" map of the Czech government (see map).
Now it is over: As Czech Foreign Minister Tomáš Petříček announced on Twitter, Germany will declare the entire Czech Republic a risk area today. This would have been decided at an extraordinary meeting of several federal ministries.

More about the Corona rules in the Czech Republic and Saxony.
The Robert Koch Institute today declared the whole of the Czech Republic a risk area, with the exception of the Ústí and Moravian-Silesian regions. These exceptions are somewhat unexpected. It remains to be seen how long they will last.
The Saxonian office for early neighbour-language education (LaNa) based in Görlitz has provided the offices of the Euroregions Egrensis, Erzgebirge / Krušnohoří, Elbe/Labe and Neisse-Nisa-Nysa with a neighbouring language kit for free lending. In the suit-case itself are among other things folders " pedagogical tools " in addition many suggestions, in order to discover the neighboring country with the children. With a variety of impulses, the pedagogical work in the day-care centers in the area of early neighborhood education in the border region can be improved.

Due to the sharp rise in the number of infections and the resulting increasing difficulties in tracing infection chains, the Czech government also set all four districts in the Elbe/Labe Euroregion (Ústí, Děčín, Teplice and Litoměřice) to the second highest corona warning level on September 18th. According to the traffic light symbolism applied there, they therefore appear yellow.
The number of new infections in the last 7 days, which is important for German decision makers, is also very high. In the district of Ústí it was 137 - calculated per 100,000 inhabitants. In Germany, the first measures are taken from 35 onwards, from 50 it's getting serious.
Due to these developments, it is expected that the whole of the Czech Republic will soon be declared a risk area by the Robert Koch Institute. Travellers from the Czech Republic would then have to be quarantined in Germany, including return travellers who have only been in the Czech Republic for a short time.

Despite the restrictions due to the COVID-19 situation, 150 Saxon and Czech young athletes and their coaches met in Bílina on Friday to test their athletic strength.
Due to the restrictions in force in the Czech Republic, this time the games took place only in three basic sports: Soccer - boys, Volleyball - girls, and Athletics for mixed teams. In each sport there were four teams in traditional colors, LABE team in blue, ELBE team in green, KRUŠNOHOŘÍ in red, and team ERZGEBIRGE in yellow.

Yesterday the Robert Koch Institute classified the Prague city area as a risk area for corona infections. This means that persons who have been there in the last 14 days are generally obliged to remain in domestic quarantine for 14 days when entering Germany. This can be avoided by a fresh, negative corona test.

"If you live in Dresden, Bohemia is practically on your doorstep. Ústí nad Labem and Teplice are closer than Chemnitz, Liberec is hardly further than Görlitz and Leipzig, Prague much closer than Berlin. And from the town of Wehlen it is just a few steps away. In spring 2017 I travelled for longer and several times in South and West Bohemia, in autumn 2018 I made two trips through the northern and eastern regions and another two days in Prague. Bohemia is mainly a region of small towns," says photographer Peter R. Fischer, who has been working in Dresden since 2008.
His photographs, he continues, "mostly come from smaller towns, small and occasionally large cities, rarely from landscapes. "Historical, important" motifs are not left out, but the focus here is on the search for one's own or new perspectives, the detection of unexpected connections. Apart from that, my eye is strongly devoted to the details that more or less tell how people deal with history, what has what value in the present, what an eye or no eye is there for, what is more vital or not".
The exhibition is supported by the Euroregion Elbe/Labe.

On Friday, 19th of June, 2020, the Local Steering Committee of the Small Projects Fund in the Euroregion Elbe/Labe met in Ústí nad Labem. After the meeting in March had to be cancelled due to Corona, we were very glad to meet again in person.
The committee had six project applications with a total volume of 70,986.68 Euro for decision, three each from German and Czech side. These were all unanimously approved.
More detailed information on the approved projects can be found here.
On a new interactive map we present a variety of interesting places in the Euroregion Elbe/Labe, which are not necessarily among the well-known highlights of the region, but are definitely worth a trip. Let us inspire you! We are sure that there is something new in it for everyone.
From the press release of the German-Czech Future Fund:
The competition for the German-Czech Journalism Prize 2020 is open. Applications can be submitted until 30.6.2020.
In its fifth year, the German-Czech Future Fund, together with the journalist associations of both countries (DJV and Syndikát novinářů), is again awarding a total of eight prizes for outstanding journalists whose work arouses interest in the neighbouring country and contributes to a better understanding between Germans and Czechs through their differentiated and cliché-conscious reporting.
"The mutual perception is also currently strongly dominated by the Corona crisis, which unfortunately is also rekindling prejudices that were thought to have already been overcome, and is directing the focus of many media primarily towards Germany. This makes it all the more topical and urgent for us to offer this prize, which we would like to use to support journalists working across borders with an unbiased view," say Petra Ernstberger and Tomáš Jelínek, the managing directors of the German-Czech Future Fund.
Prizes will be awarded to the best German and Czech-language contributions of the past 12 months in the categories text, audio and multimedia (including TV). In addition, the special prize "Milena Jesenská" is awarded to a German or Czech contribution that focuses on the topics of moral courage, multicultural understanding and tolerance in a special way and with a contemporary relevance. With the special award for long-term outstanding journalistic activity, the organizers honor journalists or journalistic formats that have rendered outstanding services to more differentiated reporting on the neighboring country over a longer period of time.
The prize is endowed with 2000 Euros each, while the special award for long-term activity is an honorary award without prize money.
Contributions can be submitted by the authors themselves, or proposed by editorial offices or third parties. This year, for the first time, two entries per author and category may be submitted to the competition. A nomination by a third party is required for the special award.
The call for entries and the conditions of participation as well as further information on the award are available online at: www.deutsch-tschechischer-journalistenpreis.de.

The Czech government decided this morning that the Czech borders with neighboring countries would be open again from noon. Entry and exit are possible without restrictions.
During a visit to the Karlovy Vary Region, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš announced today, according to idnes.cz, that the government will hold an extraordinary meeting tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. to decide on the full opening of the borders with all neighbouring states. This should be effective from midnight, if it was up to him.

The Czech government installed today a system for classifying countries according to Corona risk, starting from June 15th. Safe countries are given the color green. Czech citizens can travel to and return from these countries without restrictions. It will also be possible to travel to the Czech Republic from these countries without restrictions.
How lucky: Germany is green!
Countries marked in orange are a less safe, so foreigners still need a negative corona test to enter the Czech Republic from there. Traveling back from the countries marked in red, even Czechs will need a negative Corona test

Tomorrow once again some meetings along the Czech-German (and Polish) border will take placing, showing the strong desire for a real opening of the border. 12 locations are planned along the Saxon-Czech border (see map below). The Euroregion Elbe / Labe will be present at the Eulentor near Rosenthal. This time there will be a colloquium with lectures on rather different topics.
The Czech government decided today that from tomorrow, May 26th, there will be no continuous border controls at the borders with Germany and Austria, only random checks. However, the general restrictions for entering Czechia remain, i.e. the requirement for a negative corona test and a good reason to travel (you can find more information here).
There are also some Eurocity trains running between Berlin and Prague. The traffic will be expanded in June. The Nationalparkbahn/U28 does not yet run cross-border again.

Everywhere along the Czech external border, people from the Czech Republic and neighbouring countries met yesterday - as they did two weeks ago - at the closed borders to demand it's opening. There were particularly many meetings on the German-Czech border. A map of all meetings can be found at www.hej-nachbar.de. A press release was published as well,
In the Euroregion Elbe/Labe the meeting took place between Špičák and Oelsen. This time about 120 people joined in. There was singing, talking, eating, drinking, sunbathing... The police on the Czech side was present, but did not intervene.
Both Saxon and Czech television were present this time:

Just like two weeks ago, people from the Czech Republic and Germany are meeting again this Saturday at the common border to send a signal about how much they miss the meeting with people from the neighbouring country and to call for an early opening of the borders.
In our region they will meet at the following two places:
- on the meadow between Oelsen and Krásný les below Špičák mountain, where the Euroregion will also be present,
Map - as well as on the meadow at the Žebrácký roh between Holzhau and Moldava.

This is not a general demonstration against corona containment measures. All safety rules will be observed.
Next year the new funding period is to begin, also in the INTERREG area. For this purpose, the cooperation programme Saxony-Czech Republic is currently being developed.
In order to ensure that the funding priorities are not determined without taking into account the needs, we are interested in the feedback of potential project sponsors on which topics they could imagine projects, which is why a general survey is being conducted.
If you are interested in cross-border cooperation, think about project ideas or develop cross-border projects and want to carry them out with partners in the Czech Republic or Saxony, you can make an important contribution to the preparation of the programme with your information.
The German language version of the online survey can be found in the participation portal of the Saxon State Government under the following link:
https://buergerbeteiligung.sachsen.de/portal/sn-cz2020de/beteiligung/aktuelle-themen/1019849.
Before you start, one more technical note: On the start page of the survey, click on the link (top left) "to the questionnaire" to go to your own survey.
The survey starts on 11 May 2020 and will be active until June 5th, 2020.
From Monday, 11 May, it will be possible for all groups of people to cross the Saxon-Czech border at crossings which are currently only open to commuters and road freight traffic from 5 am to 11 pm.
At the same time, three more border crossings will be opened: Dolní Poustevna, Hřensko and Kraslice.
Source: https://www.mvcr.cz/clanek/od-11-kvetna-bude-vice-moznosti-kde-prekrocit-hranice.aspx
The mayor of Dolní Poustevna, Robert Holec, addressed a petition to the Czech government to open the Dolní Poustevna - Sebnitz border crossing for commuters. The petition demands a reasonable possibility to travel to work. Representatives of towns on the Czech and German sides of the Elbe/Labe Euroregion also demand that the border crossing be opened.
"The risk of the border closure being relaxed is not great compared to the impact on the lives of people who have to travel 150 km a day, because it is the same group of people who are affected by this concern and need, and the latter I have classified as more serious," said the mayor.
Since mid-March, the German-Czech border has only been passable in a few exceptional cases. This closing of the border has been criticized from various sides. Yesterday people from both countries met at six different places to send a signal that the border should be reopened as soon as possible. In the Euroregion Elbe/Labe, the meetings took place in Ostrov near Tisá and in Zinnwald/Cínovec. Some border crossings are said to have happened, without any intervention by the state.

Report in newspaper Ustecký Deník (CS)
Just right for Labour Day in Corona times: As of June 30, 2019, 11,129 Czech citizens were employed in Saxony subject to social security contributions. In addition, there were 986 marginally employed persons who are not included in the following evaluations.
Most of these employees, namely 9,134, are cross-border commuters, i.e. they lived in the Czech Republic. This share of 82% commuters is much higher than, for example, for Polish employees in Saxony (53%).
If you look at the sectors, it is not - as one might expect - the hotel and restaurant industry or the health care sector that are in first place, but the manufacturing industry, which employs almost a quarter of the Czech workforce.
In Euroregion Elbe/Labe, 3,307 Czech citizens worked on the German side, of which 2,629 are cross-border commuters. In addition, 350 Czech* nationals were marginally employed here.
In the whole of Germany, approx. 35,700 cross-border commuters from the Czech Republic are employed (in Bavaria there are probably more than 25,000). This shows the extent of the effects of the current border closures.
More interesting information (also on Polish employees in Saxony) can be found in the DGB's short info of 28.04.2020 (PDF, German only).
April 2020
On Tuesday afternoon some forest was on fire in Zinnwald, about 350m from the border on Czech territory. Since the fire was not accessible from the German side, German fire brigades were permitted to attack from Czech territory, helping the Czech fire fighters.
The fire brigades of Altenberg, Zinnwald, Duchov, Teplice and Dubi then worked successfully together. The fire was extinguished in the evening.
The cross-border cooperation of the fire brigades (and the control centres) worked well here. Altenberg's mayor Thomas Kirsten also see a joint exercise last autumn as a reason for that.
We are very glad that the many years of efforts to improve cooperation between Saxon and Czech fire brigades have borne fruit here.

Saxony to the Czech Republic (and back)
From April 27th, 2020, EU citizens can enter the Czech Republic under the following conditions:
- for the purpose of economic activity (with evidence),
- maximum 72 hours stay in the Czech Republic,
- upon presentation of a negative corona test that is a maximum of four days old.
The same applies to EU students in the Czech Republic.
Furthermore, various exception rules apply for employees in critical infrastructure and in the transport industry, for cross-border commuters and if there are valid reasons.
You can find the exact rules and all necessary bureaucratic stepshere .
The background to the relaxation was a court ruling that forced the Czech government to make changes.
Czech Republic to Saxony (and back)
Czech citizens (and foreigners with a residence permit) are allowed to leave the Czech Republic without hindrance. To return without a quarantine requirement, you also need a negative Cotona test.
However, entry into Saxony is restricted. Anyone entering Saxony from the Czech Republic must be in quarantine for 14 days. Exceptions are initially:
- Employees in the transport industry,
- Employees in critical infrastructures,
- regular cross-border commuters,
- Employees for at least 3 weeks in German companies (with appropriate measures),
- People with particularly important reasons for travel.
But everyone else can also enter Saxony without quarantine if they have not been abroad for more than 48 hours .
The trade unions in the border triangle of Saxony, the Czech Republic and Poland today published a joint declaration on the situation in the border region:
"We call on the governments of Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic to immediately restore freedom of movement on the cross-border labour market in the border triangle for all cross-border workers. Border closures are not an instrument to combat corona, but an acute threat to jobs and livelihoods of cross-border workers," said Markus Schlimbach, Chairman of the DGB District Saxony.
The trade unions note with annoyance that European cohesion is currently falling by the wayside. Those who suffer most are the employees in the common cross-border labour market. In the Free State of Saxony there are more than 11,000 employees from the Czech Republic and about 20,000 from Poland who are subject to social security contributions. Among them are more than 9,000 cross-border commuters from the Czech Republic and more than 10,000 from Poland.
Due to the quarantine regulations in the Czech Republic and Poland, it is hardly possible for them to come to Germany to work. The countries are violating the right to free movement. The border crossers are threatened with dismissals!
The IGR Elbe-Neisse was founded in 1993 and works for a social and fair development of the border region. It consists of the DGB District Saxony, the regional divisions of the Bohemian-Moravian Confederation of Trade Union Associations (ČMKOS), the Polish OPZZ and the NSZZ "Solidarność".

On April 6th, the Local Steering Committee decided (this time by circulation procedure due to the Corona crisis) to support 14 projects from the Small Projects Fund in the Elbe/Labe Euroregion. Of these, 8 projects from the Czech Republic and 6 from Saxony had been applied for, and no project was supported.
It is unclear for many project sponsors whether they will be able to carry out their activities as planned. In each individual case, the Euroregion tries to find solutions to ensure funding.
More information on the individual projects can be found here (in German only).
The German-Czech Lawyer's Association has published a sharp criticism of the closing of the border between the Czech Republic and Germany on their website (in German only). We from the Euroregion Elbe/Labe are also quite unhappy with the current situation.
Here the Announcement of the German-Czech Future Fund :
Dear friends of the German-Czech Future Fund,
spring is here and shows itself from its best side beyond the closed borders - as if to remind us that even in times of crisis we can rely on beautiful things :-)
Reliability is essential in these weeks of uncertainty. Because if the current crisis reminds us of one thing every day, it is that it cannot be tackled alone. What is needed is cooperation and cohesion from all of us, in politics as well as in civil society.
In the Future Fund, we asked ourselves where our help is now most urgently needed and how we can quickly and unbureaucratically help those who have been hit hardest by the pandemic in the German-Czech community. We are providing them with special funding totaling 373,000 euros.
We dedicate part of this to organizations that take care of the surviving Nazi victims in the Czech Republic, who play a key role in building trusting relationships between Germans and Czechs. Because of their age and the agony they suffered, they are most at risk from the pandemic and now require special protection.
We provide further support to the often freelance bridge builders who have made a significant contribution to improving German-Czech relations in recent years and who are now feeling the economic effects of the crisis. We have advertised a special funding program for bridge builders for them.
And finally, we would now like to help those who provide social and medical help in the German-Czech border region - in a region where a lot of trust has been built between the citizens of our two countries over the past 30 years, and that is not being jeopardized may due to the social and structural effects of the crisis, which could be particularly noticeable here.
If you know of organizations in the German-Czech border area that offer help for particularly vulnerable people and could use financial support, please let us know and please enter your information directly into the form of our special funding program for the border regions .
We are confident that together we will be able to offer reliable support to those who need it most now.
You too can stay confident - and healthy!
Your German-Czech Future Fund
1. General
The simplifications mentioned below do not represent a change in the existing legal framework for the implementation of cooperation projects. They are only intended to limit the negative effects of the COVID-19 crisis on program implementation.
If you want to take advantage of one of the aforementioned facilitations, you must credibly explain the connection between the current situation of your project and the corona crisis. On the basis of documents, you must be able to prove that you were unable to influence the costs incurred and that you took all due care to avoid or at least minimize the costs. You submit the documentation to the supervisory authority (SAB or CRR) together with the settlement of the expenses. When assessing the facts, the success of the project as a whole is primarily assessed. This includes the implementation of the activities, the achievement of the project goals and project results.
Even under the more difficult conditions, the regulations of the grant agreement, the joint implementation document including award regulations and the relevant regulations of the European Union continue to apply.
2 Funding of expenses for project activities
- Did you incur financial expenses for activities for your project that could not or only partially be carried out due to the COVID-19 crisis (e.g. room rental despite a canceled event, travel expenses, no reimbursement of participation fees already paid by the Organizer, cancellation fees), these expenses can be subsidized.
- If you are reimbursed or compensated for the costs incurred by another body (e.g. from insurance, short-time working allowance, etc.), this must be reported to the SAB / CRR. In this case, the eligible expenses will be reduced by the amount paid by third parties.
- Expenses that may arise in connection with the implementation of project activities in an alternative format (e.g. virtual meetings, e-learning and the like) must make a decisive contribution to the project objectives. They must be adequately documented and justified.
- Expenses for products or services that were planned for a project activity but can now be used at a different time or for another activity outside the project due to the COVID-19 crisis are not subsidized. This applies, for example, to items of equipment, gifts or prizes for competitions that were purchased by the beneficiary and are now used for another purpose.
3 Implementation of project activities
- Changes to the overall project are to be reported to SAB by the LP before the end of the project term.
- About changes that do not have any significant impact on the achievement of the project goals (e.g. postponement of events, change of the format of an event, such as "online" instead of "on site", extension of the project duration in order to catch up on activities ) the SAB decides.
- About major changes, such as B. the change of the expenditure and financing plan or the change of the project activities, which significantly impair the achievement of the project goals, is decided by the monitoring committee.
- Project activities that could not be implemented but are necessary to achieve the project objective must be made up for or replaced in consultation with the SAB.
- At this point it is expressly pointed out that the regulations of the procurement law according to the grant agreement as well as the joint implementation document - if they are to be applied - must be observed for the changed project activities.
4 deadlines at the supervisory authority
- Inform your supervisory authority (SAB or CRR) if you cannot meet deadlines. New appointments will be arranged with you unbureaucratically.
- If you urgently need a withdrawal, report it to your supervisory authority. Your current statement will be rescheduled or you will be asked to submit an additional payment request.
5 small project funds
For the beneficiaries of small projects, the regulations in paragraphs 1 to 4 apply analogously, whereby the notifications and information mentioned therein must be submitted to the respective responsible Euroregion. If you have any further questions, we recommend that you contact the relevant project secretariat in your Euroregion.

If projects cannot be carried out as planned due to the Corona crisis, the following regulations apply:
Costs for the cancellation of external orders due to the Corona problem are eligible costs. They can be listed in the billing list.
If events are postponed to another point in time that is no longer in the original project period, an amendment agreement will be made to the grant agreement in order to extend the project period.
If planned events are held at a different time and exceed the approved budget due to cancellation costs, the local steering committee will propose a resolution to increase the funding amount (which will certainly also be approved). However, this is only possible if the maximum amount of 15,000 euros has not yet been exhausted.
You can of course contact us at any time if you have specific questions in connection with a project. It is best to write an email , we mostly work from home.

February 2020
A young woman wanders through the family jungle and haunts the end of a relationship, constantly trying to escape the torrent of everyday life. She moves from the Czech Republic to Germany and travels to London, where she plunges into the nightlife. She fantasizes about a bank job and looks for a job as a coach driver. We read of bursts and outbursts of toxic loves and strange therapy sessions. Desperate by her unsuccessful attempts to integrate, she finally makes a radical decision: She moves into a wardrobe. Sensitive and with a lot of humor, Tereza Semotamová tells of the absurd search for your own path in a world in which nobody knows exactly where to go.
Tereza Semotamová (* 1983 in Boskovice) is a prose writer, publicist and translator. She studied screenwriting and dramaturgy at the Janáček Academy for Music and Performing Arts, German studies at Masaryk University in Brno and completed her doctorate with a dissertation on German radio plays from the 1950s. She writes radio plays, features and columns, translates German-language literature into Czech, teaches and works for the German-Czech platform já-du.
