– For those who have subscribed to the Freisinger Tagblatt, the local newspaper is probably just as indispensable at the breakfast table as the cup of coffee.

More and more people start the day with their smartphone and then regularly check the online news.

The Münchner Merkur and its local newspapers have long since reacted to this development: Our company provides an online portal – free of charge – where readers can find a large number of reports and stories.

Which Freisinger Tagblatt topics were of particular interest to online users between January 1st and December 31st, 2022?

Here are our top ten – in reverse order.

10th place:

Large-scale operation on the Eggertshof at the end of August 2022: There is an agricultural property on fire.

The black column of smoke can be seen from afar.

Numerous emergency services are fighting the fire for several hours.

Nine animals die.

As the police later reported, the fire was most likely caused by the use of an agricultural machine that ignited the stored straw due to the unavoidable heat build-up.

The good news: people are not harmed.

However, the property damage amounts to half a million euros.

Almost 70,100 people took part in the accident online.

An agricultural building caught fire in Pulling near Freising on Thursday.

The column of smoke can be seen from afar.

Doomsday mood in the northern district: After a hot day on June 20, 2022 at around 4:40 p.m., a severe storm erupted within minutes in the Moosburg region.

The thunderstorm cell with a diameter of 20 kilometers brings with it a storm of strength 11 with a maximum speed of 109 km/h, as well as heavy rain and hail.

The storm takes the life of a 53-year-old: the cyclist is killed by a falling tree.

In some communities, the power went out for hours, the railways stopped running, and the hop harvest was massively damaged.

A good 70,700 people follow our news ticker.

8th place:

At the beginning of 2022, a report on pedophile priests, full-time servants and accomplices shook the world.

7th place:

A sign in front of the Schloßallee in Haag made headlines at the beginning of the beer garden season in April: "Consumption of food and drinks you have brought with you is prohibited - the innkeepers of the Schloßallee Haag thank you for your understanding." The operators Alexander Moser and Falk Voigtländer say, They did not take the decision lightly, but this step was necessary in view of two years of massive losses due to Corona and now price increases due to the Ukraine war.

Because more and more visitors are increasingly exploiting the tradition of bringing their own snacks to the beer garden.

"Some had pizza delivered to the beer garden, others bought chicken at the stand opposite the beer garden on Wednesdays and then ate it with us," Moser cites two examples.

Heats up tempers: The sign in front of the traditional Schloßallee beer garden in Haag is the subject of heated debate.

For laypeople it sounds unspectacular, for the industry it is a great innovation: roofer and plumber Markus Riedl from Allershausen develops a capillary profile that is used as moisture protection for metal roofs and thus prevents wet house roofs.

For this development, the entrepreneur from Ampertal not only won the Bavarian State Prize 2022, but also the Federal Prize 2022. And it also aroused great interest on the Internet: the user's mouse pointer landed on this story almost 144,000 times.

4th place:

A story from Neufahrn has 7,000 more visits: Marina H. is a huge fan of Peter Maffay.

The 65-year-old bought a ticket for his next tour.

But the appearance in Neu-Ulm has to be postponed because of the pandemic - and Marina H. cannot do it on the replacement date in September.

M So she sells the ticket online to a woman from Heidenheim and sends it by post.

But it only gets to the recipient eleven days later – a full week after the concert.

Marina H. complains to the post office.

After all, because she has been attending Maffay's concerts and contacts for decades, she was able to credibly assure that the ticket existed - and the woman from Heidenheim had a nice evening with Peter Maffay despite postal problems.

3rd place:

Disappeared place-name signs, mixed-up signs and also damage to property through scribblings: a prank on a sign by the citizens keeps the Hallertau on their toes.

2nd place:

In April 2022, a police report aroused great public interest: a married couple was found seriously injured in a house in the Lerchenfeld district of Freising.

The 51-year-old woman and the 53-year-old man are taken to the hospital with serious head injuries.

From the outset, the police regarded an act of violence by a third party as unlikely - and this was not confirmed even after weeks of investigation.

Both the woman and the man can leave the clinics again after weeks.

Almost 175,000 users follow the reports.

1st place:

The most read is also the most tragic story in the past year: After visiting the Brass Wiesn in early August, 25-year-old Tobias D disappears. For several days, several emergency services are looking for the young man from Eichenried in the municipality of Moosinning (Erding district), mainly on and around the grounds of the music festival with around 20,000 visitors.

"We turn over every stone, look under every tarpaulin and every tent and today we search until we are exhausted," says police spokesman Andreas Aichele from the police headquarters in Upper Bavaria North.

On Tuesday evening, after four days, there is sad certainty: Tobias D. will be rescued dead from Lake Eching.

There is no evidence of a crime.

The police are assuming an accident.

The fate of the young man touched almost 217 thousand people.

Only the memory remains: After the Brass Wiesn, Tobias D. is rescued dead from Lake Eching.
