Simon Betschinger asked for understanding for people who mocked Elon Musk because of his flying Tesla Roadster. He wrote that there had been skepticism towards new inventions in the past. On July 3, 1886, Carl Benz publicly presented his three-wheeled motor vehicle for the first time in Mannheim. The German Patent and Trademark Office described the reactions to the first drives as disappointing. Despite reports in the local press, the hoped-for response was missing. Many people considered the vehicle to be impractical; the German UNESCO Commission also confirmed that the invention had initially been ridiculed. #Innovation #Geschichte #Technologie (translated)

If I were to respond diplomatically, I would just say nothing at all. From a player's perspective, whether it was Lautern or Mannheim, it was absolutely amazing. The whole atmosphere exceeded all expectations. In general, Boyd, who used to chase goals for FCK, found the experience "absolutely amazing - horses on the field, everything was amazing." #SkandalDerby #DFBPokal #TerrenceBoyd (translated)

Of course, we all imagined the season start differently. I respect the club's decision, even though I would have loved to continue working with this team. I greatly valued the daily collaboration with the guys and remain convinced of their quality and potential. Machulla's statement suggests that the former master coach, who also acted as interim sports director in Mannheim, cannot fully understand: "Of course, we all imagined the season start differently.

Manaf Hassan criticized the closeness of Federal Constitutional Court President Stephan Harbarth to the political leadership. A photo from the weekend in Bremen shows Harbarth at the state ceremony for the Day of German Unity directly next to leading politicians, he wrote. The court president must stand for the separation of powers, but had previously served as a CDU member of the Bundestag, a member of the CDU federal executive, and as deputy chairman of the CDU/CSU faction in the Bundestag. Harbarth had switched from the faction leadership to the Federal Constitutional Court in November 2018 and was elected vice president the day after his election as a judge. About a year and a half later, he became president. Hassan described it as unusual that Harbarth reached the head of the court without prior judicial activity in Karlsruhe. Before that, Harbarth had worked as a partner in a law firm that split from Shearman & Sterling in 2008, becoming SZA Schilling, Zutt & Anschütz. Until 2004, Hanno Berger also worked there in Frankfurt on tax law. Berger is considered a central developer of the Cum-Ex transactions, in which banks and investors received refunds for capital gains tax that they had never paid. Experts estimate the damage, according to Hassan, at a double-digit billion amount. Berger later advised, among others, the Hamburg Warburg Bank and has since been legally convicted. Harbarth worked during those years in the Mannheim office of the law firm; what he knew about Berger's activities remains unclear, Hassan wrote. Additionally, Hassan referred to decisions and proceedings at the Federal Constitutional Court: The First Senate under Harbarth's chairmanship had examined and largely approved central Corona measures in 2021. In the Second Senate, there has been a complaint regarding the election review from BSW for almost two years, which wants to achieve a recount of the federal election and entry into the Bundestag. If BSW were to enter Parliament retroactively, the black-red coalition would lose its own majority, according to Hassan. He asked how Harbarth could be at the head of the court while also publicly standing next to the government, whose actions the court should control. #Bremen #Bundesverfassungsgericht #Politik (translated)

Riesen Knall aus Mannheim - Bilfinger stellt bis zu 1.500 Arbeitsplätze zur Disposition. Der Konzern reagiert damit auf schwache Nachfrage und eine gesenkte Prognose. Gestern MediaMarkt/Saturn und heute Bilfinger. Die Herbstrunden starten! #Bilfinger #Stellenabbau #Industrie #Arbeitsplätze Stellenabbau: Bis zu 1.500 der weltweit rund 31.000 Stellen könnten bei Bilfinger betroffen sein. Der Konzern will Kapazitäten an die veränderten Marktbedingungen anpassen und Ressourcen stärker bündeln. Schwache Nachfrage: Bilfinger erwartet für 2026 nur noch 5,3 bis 5,7 Milliarden Euro Umsatz. Kunden verschieben Investitionsentscheidungen und Wartungsarbeiten, wodurch die Auslastung sinkt und Margen unter Druck geraten. Ab 2028 sollen die Maßnahmen jährlich 75 Millionen Euro einsparen. Der geplante Stellenabbau zeigt, wie deutlich Bilfinger inzwischen auf die schwächere Nachfrage und die Belastung des operativen Geschäfts reagieren muss. Vielen Dank für den wichtigen Hinweis!
