What are the underlying causes of these "blow-ups," and how do the materials' properties contribute to these occurrences?

High temperatures weaken asphalt and expand concrete, creating stress points at expansion joints. This leads to "blow-ups," dangerous upward buckling of road slabs, especially at the joints where they are most vulnerable. Two such incidents on the A5 required road closures for repairs.

What are the historical reasons behind Thuringia's current financial challenges concerning civil servant pensions?

The rising pension burden is a consequence of post-reunification civil service policies and now exacerbated by demographic decline. The state's share of pension and interest payments will rise from over 5 percent to over 7 percent of the budget in the next 15 years, a level last seen before the economically favorable years of 2010. This necessitates a critical review of all budget items, according to Wolf.
