Pension insurance: reduction in contributions possible in 2014

"According to today’s calculations, there is a recognizable margin for a further reduction in the contribution rate. This would be the third consecutive reduction in the contribution rate," said annelie buntenbach, chairwoman of the board of management of the german pension insurance association, in dusseldorf on thursday.

It thus tied in with speculation from the previous day, according to which the pension contribution could fall from the current 18.9 to 18.7 or even 18.6 percent in the coming year. A financial collapse – which would prevent this – is not recognizable according to the words of buntenbach. She represents the unions at the top of the pension insurance scheme.

Adelsdorf develops into an art center

It is already a tradition that the town hall of adelsdorf (district of erlangen-hochstadt) opens its doors to artists from the town and the region. Tonight is the fourth vernissage – this time by the two artists heike flugel and uta schlerf.

Both are members of the association schloss-kunst-adelsdorf. Uta schlerf, a native of erlangen, has been drawn to art and painting since she was a child. At the age of just under 30, the trained social insurance clerk began working with fabric design, including painting walls in children's rooms.
Since 1996 she lives in adelsdorf and also here she trained in the techniques of watercolor, acrylic and drawing with inge graf-ackermann in weisendorf. She has also taken part in courses offered by the local adelsdorf artist, renate fuckerider.
