Census 2022 and property tax return 2022. No, they are NOT the same thing!

Beware (which might not be the correct term) - there are two different types of census going the rounds. We also got the "Gebäude- und Wohnungszählung" which we easily did online. MIL seems to have got the same. -

That only works if they are in gainful employment.

Agreed. Some years ago whilst waiting at a red light (which one tends to do) my wife was hit by another car. Svere damage to hatchback. The culprite's insurance (even though the admitted 100% blame) made life very difficult for us & it took the efforts of an Anwalt to sort them - which they had to pay also. This was no cheap fly-by-night insurance company but a frequently-used one. The worrying thing is - its also our insurance company.

The vollkasko will likely reject the claim on the grounds that the car wash is responsible & so your Vollkasko does not cover it.

10 week wait for a paassport? Thats nothing - my wife has to wait 8 weeks to be able to visit our local so-called Bürgerburo in order to APPLY for a passport! Whilst everything else has opened up the Rathaus folks have a great instrument to keep the plebs at bay (& the plebs accept this!).

Its "horrible" when driving in a Baustelle with an 60 or 80 kph limit & you have a truck trying to climb inside your Kofferaum / boot / <whatever the US call it>. -
Back on topic please. Take yer fußball elsewhere...

Decent gliding weather yesterday for the first day of our "Frühjahrsfliegen". Light Westerly winds, dry & cumulus clouds. A few of us went on short cross-country flights (I did a 153 km triangluar task within Schleswig-Holstein) whilst the trainees made progress under the eyes of two instructors. Freezing level was about 1000m.
