A sea of umbrellas at the enheim church fair

A sea of umbrellas at the enheim church fair

Well shielded, enheimers and guests listened to steffen hegwein at the church fair sermon after the parade through the village. The nsa almost put a spoke in the kirchweihjugend’s wheel, because they knew the text before the kirchweih guests did and had classified it as explosive. According to the NSA, the text was scrambled, but the guests had no problem understanding the dialect, unlike their friends from the U.S. But the youth does not need to hide behind the NSA, they knew well about mishaps and what was happening in the streets. About a moped colliding with a car bumper, for example, or about a barrel leaking because it was full. The preacher also pondered the neighborly love of two dog owners, which is said to have been sealed by fist law, and wondered which of the two opponents was the wiser, the one who is known to give way. Even if some of those affected preferred to keep it under the covers, hegwein pulled them away and reported in the sermon about trying to plow the concrete path, the soiling of a half-timbered house with gulle or an expensive potato salad.

Manufacturers: food is getting more expensive

Manufacturers: food is getting more expensive

"Between three and four percent" the prices had to rise this year, jurgen abraham, chairman of the federal association of the german food industry (BVE), told the "tagesspiegel" newspaper. This is the industry’s response to persistently high raw material prices and rising personnel and energy costs. If retailers, with their strong market power, prevent price increases, companies will run out of steam in their ability to perform and innovate.

The head of the food and hospitality union (NGG), franz-josef mollenberg, called on consumers to rethink their attitude to food and nutrition. "Everything has its price. Good food, too. Especially when it comes to food and drink, many people go by the motto ‘stinginess is cool,’" explained mollenberg on sunday. The industrial food production and the mass animal husbandry, which are always criticized, are a direct consequence of the low prices demanded by the german customers.

Chocolate easter bunny dispute over: lindt loses before bgh

Chocolate easter bunny dispute over: lindt loses before bgh

The swiss chocolate manufacturer lindt& sprungli defeated bavarian confectioner riegelein at the federal court of justice (BGH). The lindt company had taken action against the gold bunny from bavaria, which they considered too similar. In a decision published in karlsruhe, the german federal court of justice (BGH) rejected a renewed appeal for non-admission by lindt. This finally draws a line under the legal dispute.

"We are very, very disappointed, but we have to accept the decision," a lindt spokeswoman told the dpa news agency. "This is the end of this dispute in germany," she said. However, this will not stop the federation’s sub-product producer from continuing to crack down on imitators if necessary. Finally, the lindt golden bunny with the red ribbon is protected by trademark law as an eu trademark and in individual countries.

Visit to mister warmepumpe in mainleus

He can take it easy. The times when he passed on his know-how to heating engineers on a daily basis on behalf of his employer glen dimplex are over. But even in retirement, erich ramming's passion for a very special type of heating has not grown cold. "My whole professional life depends on the heat pump", says the 65-year-old.

Ramming is still one of a generation of engineers who directly accompanied the rise of the heat pump. In 1973, after completing an apprenticeship as an agricultural machinery mechanic at baywa, he began studying supply engineering at the university of applied sciences in munich as a second course of study when the first oil crisis hit. There were car-free sundays, and oil prices rose sharply. "No one knew where the journey was going", ramming remembers.
