Mario Barth reveals: Bank on the ring track causes excitement!

Braunschweig, Deutschland - In Braunschweig, the RTL program "Mario Barth releases" ensures excitement: Comedian Mario Barth recently targeted an obviously unfavorable bench on the ring track. In his show, he addresses bizarre grievances and the waste of tax money. Barth initially praises the redesign of the former railway system as an attractive pedestrian and cyclist zone before drawing attention to the criticism worthy of criticism. The bank, which is currently with a view of an overgrown fence, has aroused its displeasure. The show guest Joachim Llambi commented on the view as "a look at the countryside", which led to a general smile in the round. As a result, Barth confronted the city of Braunschweig with the unfortunate choice of space of the bank.

As the city's press office explains, the visual axis is blocked by thicket, which actually puts the positioning of the bank in a bad light. In response to the criticism, it was decided to turn the bank 180 degrees. Now she looks at a garden center, a car wash and a parking lot - not necessarily the most idyllic view, but at least better than before. A few days after the broadcast, the bank has already been put into the new position, which shows that the city reacted to the feedback. This is not the first time that Barth Braunschweig addresses; Already three years ago he complained about a public toilet in the cult district.

reactions and tax waste in focus

The reactions to Barth’s criticism are mixed: While some spectators appreciate the humorous approach, others indicate the positive use of the ring track. The incident also initiated a major discourse on public tax waste, which is dealt with in the current black book of the Federation of Taxpayers. This deals with various aspects of the waste of tax money, including the promotion of cargo bikes in Braunschweig.

The city launched a funding program for private purchases of cargo bikes in 2023, within the framework of which 50,000 euros are available annually. However, the Federation of Taxpayers criticizes the high administrative costs of around 48,000 euros annually, which are mismatched by the projects actually funded. Private individuals can receive up to 1,000 euros for cargo bikes and 250 euros for bicycle trailers. Ultimately, a study shows that many users would have acquired a cargo bike without funding, which in question.

The federal government demands that the funding programs to rethink. The previous results are not convincing; The city, on the other hand, denies this and reports on increasing demand for the funding. This discussion goes hand in hand with the observations of Mario Barth to use tax money in Braunschweig and makes it clear that there is still a need for action in public use.
