27/12/2010

For the Fulda Auxiliary Bishop Karlheinz Diez, the Christmas service has come to an unfortunate end. The 56-year-old church servant broke his ankle in a fall.

When leaving the cathedral after the Christmas service, the auxiliary bishop slipped on an ice plate and had to be hospitalized afterwards. Diagnosis: broken ankle - a sad exit on Christmas Eve for the divine. In the hospital, Karlheinz Diez has now operated on the foot and is currently on the road to recovery, as a spokeswoman for the diocese announced on Monday. Due to the risk of falling due to the winter weather conditions, numerous patients with bone fractures, lacerations and bruises had to be treated in the past few days in the hospital. Especially in January there are more and more fractures and broken bones. (Fp)
