Production: Components for 5,2 million vehicles of the Volkswagen Group (2024) Plant The Brunswick plant is the oldest of all Volkswagen AG plants it stands for high technical competence and is one of the world's leading manufacturers of chassis components the Brunswick plant has been a part of Volkswagen Group Components an independent business unit within the Group's Technology Division under the umbrella of the Volkswagen AG responsible for the production of strategic components for the Group’s vehicle producing brands Battery technology has been part of the product portfolio since 2013 starting with the battery system for the e-up The Braunschweig plant now produces battery systems for a large number of battery-electric and hybrid vehicles and has thus assumed a central role in the electric mobility of the Volkswagen brand The other key products such as chassis and steering systems are both developed and produced at the site - for both conventional and electric and hybrid vehicles of the group The total area of the Brunswick site covers around 682,000 square meters further axle production plants in Isenbüttel Meerane and Barsinghausen as well as a logistics center in Harvesse belong to Volkswagen Group Components Brunswick The component production facility manufactures front and rear axles In 2023 components for 5.2 million cars were produced.The site is systematically geared towards e-mobility Among the customers are the vehicle-building plants of Volkswagen Passenger Cars Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles as well as MAN the company's own plant engineering department develops and manufactures production systems for internal Group customers worldwide Management Martin Schmuck is head of the Brunswick plant He has been with the Volkswagen Group since 1996 he has become familiar with the entire product development process Starting in development at the Brunswick plant he passed through further stations in planning he was leading the chassis component plant of Volkswagen Group Components in Wolfsburg EnvironmentThe Brunswick plant is taking ecological responsibility Efficient use and protection of natural resources are the key approaches of environmental protection An important goal is the reduction of the five key figures (energy and solvent emissions) by 45% per produced vehicle by 2025 The Brunswick site fulfills the requirements of ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management systems) as well as ISO 50001:2018 (energy management systems) The efficacy of the environmental and energy compliance systems is regularly being reviewed and verified by independent certifiers The Volkswagen Newsroom is an open platform and offers comprehensive search options to all users If you would like to be kept informed about our press releases you can also subscribe to our media information newsletter The specified fuel consumption and emission data does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles Additional equipment and accessories (additional components etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior two cars drive side by side at almost 180 km/h - and in the end two children die The Hanover Regional Court delivers a harsh verdict No verdict can comfort the distraught mother - whatever the outcome mine are in their graves," said the weeping woman He said: "I know my children aren't coming back." His children died in February 2022 when the family car was involved in a banned car race in Barsinghausen near Hanover A 42-year-old woman must now serve life in prison for murder while her 41-year-old rival in the race must serve four years Judge Britta Schlingmann apologized to the heartbroken family: "You get the impression that the trial is only about the defendants and their feelings she wanted to say how sorry she was for what the family had had to endure during the trial - the death of the children could not be made up for with the trial The children's father said that anyone who drives a car must also think about other people Then the judge became clear: the court was convinced that the convicts had accepted the deaths of others and the collision with oncoming traffic dangerous bodily harm and illegal car racing resulting in death The driving license of the convicted Polish woman is to be confiscated for five years that of the German-Italian for three years the court followed the prosecution's demand the two convicts engaged in an illegal car race The woman raced about 500 meters in her powerful car on the opposite lane to overtake her rival As she entered a bend - at speeds of up to 180 kilometers per hour - she lost control of her car This resulted in a collision with oncoming traffic The car of the family of four was thrown into a paddock even though they were wearing their seatbelts Their parents and the driver of another car were seriously injured it became clear that the woman often drove too fast - former work colleagues attested to her "high-speed" driving style She had always driven high-powered vehicles and had also been flashed said the public prosecutor in her summation Judge Schlingmann explained: "The decisive moment is when they both drove into the bend That is the moment when both defendants gave up control of the situation." They could not have seen what was behind the bend which is a traffic situation that "can hardly be surpassed in terms of danger" Such a situation is not controllable and inevitably leads to the death or injury of road users Both drivers had accepted these consequences because they did not want to give way in the race Although the two convicted men were deeply affected and both had apologized to the family the unfortunate father was unable to do anything with this - and the court was ultimately unable to take it into account The 42-year-old often looked down during the trial It was by no means the first trial in the case: it had to be retried because the Federal Court of Justice had largely overturned the first verdict from April 2023 due to legal errors the main defendant had been sentenced to six years in prison and the German-Italian co-defendant to four years the sentence was for unlicensed motor vehicle racing resulting in death The sentence for the man was now capped for formal reasons - the public prosecutor's office had not lodged an appeal in his case But the new verdict may not be the end of the story: lawyer Yana Tchelpanova one of the 42-year-old's defense attorneys announced in the courtroom that the verdict was far from life - and: "We think it is a wrong verdict."

Das erste davon am Dienstag gegen Georgien dass Fans im Stadion nationalistische Parolen von sich geben werden: «Die Grauen Wölfe könnten aber auch im Stadionumfeld auf Jugendliche zugehen.» In der Bahn Bereits bei der Begrüssung der türkischen Mannschaft vor wenigen Tagen in Barsinghausen schwenkten einige Fans eine Fahne mit Symbolen der Grauen Wölfe – so zeigt es ein Video Rechtsextreme Graue Wölfe: Mesut Özil schockiert mit Neonazi-Tattoo https://t.co/RtesO3dDP8 In seiner Heimatstadt Duisburg war er lange als Schiedsrichter aktiv Bei mehreren Jugendspielen hatte er Flaggen Trikots und Banner mit Symbolen der Grauen Wölfe beobachtet Mitunter hörte er beim Einlaufen der Mannschaften völkische Marschlieder die die türkische Nation über alle anderen stellt «Trainer und Eltern stachelten die jungen Spieler auf und sprachen von Türkentum – als ginge es um eine Schlacht.» Hin und wieder kam es auf den Plätzen zu Angriffen Immer wieder dokumentierte Yilmaz die gewaltverherrlichende Sprache in Spielberichten «Die Grauen Wölfe sind in der Lokalpolitik vernetzt Und in den Fussballverbänden gibt es über ihre Geschichte und ihre Strukturen kaum Wissen.» Die Grauen Wölfe in der Türkei haben ihren Ursprung in den 1960er Jahren ethnische und moralische Überlegenheit der Turkvölker Von Beginn an waren die Grauen Wölfe in der Türkei an die MHP gebunden die Partei der Nationalistischen Bewegungen Tausende türkische Auswanderer brachten die Ideologie mit nach Westeuropa Ab den 1970er Jahren bemühten sich türkische Gastarbeiter vermehrt um den Eintritt in Fussballvereine doch die regionalen Verbände des Deutschen Fussball-Bunds (DFB) lehnten sie in der Regel ab Sportfunktionäre teilten zu jener Zeit die weitverbreitete Meinung dass die Gastarbeiter sowieso in die Türkei zurückkehren würden Oft hörten die Gastarbeiter aus der Mehrheitsgesellschaft den Vorwurf dass ihre Vereine nur eine Reaktion auf den Rassismus der Deutschen seien Die Grauen Wölfe machten sich diese Spannungen zunutze und engagierten sich im Fussball als Betreuer In den Vereinen erreichen sie türkischstämmige Kinder Viele Familien leben seit Jahrzehnten in Deutschland beziehen ihre Nachrichten aber weiterhin aus türkischen Zeitungen und Fernsehsendungen An diese politische Orientierungslosigkeit könnten die Grauen Wölfe mit ihrer Ideologie anknüpfen erläutert der Politikwissenschafter Mahir Tokatli Die Grauen Wölfe greifen die Ausgrenzungserfahrungen der jungen Fussballer auf und bieten eine Alternative an: den türkischen Nationalismus Die Kritik an Özil war oft begleitet von Rassismus Bei vielen Amateurkickern in Deutschland war er untendurch doch in migrantischen Sportvereinen wuchs sein Heldenstatus der für Deutschland alles gibt und trotzdem von der Mehrheit abgelehnt wird In dieser Erzählung finden sich viele türkischstämmige Jugendliche wieder mit Parolen verstärken und den Blick noch stärker in Richtung Türkei lenken wollen «Wenn es in der Türkei polarisierende Debatten gibt dann wächst auch bei uns im Ruhrgebiet die Bedrohungslage» Der Sozialpädagoge lebt seit 1980 in Deutschland wie die Ultranationalisten ihre Wut an türkischstämmigen Menschen auslassen als nach dem gescheiterten Putschversuch in der Türkei auch in Berlin Hamburg oder Stuttgart kurdische Einrichtungen attackiert wurden dass die Spiele der türkischen Nationalmannschaft auch zu Festtagen der Grauen Wölfe werden können Ihre Spiele werden von einem Grossaufgebot der Polizei begleitet «Die deutschen Behörden und der Verfassungsschutz haben die Grauen Wölfe lange nicht ernst genommen» «Wir sollten mehr in Aufklärung und Prävention investieren.» die der Verfassungsschutz im Spektrum der Grauen Wölfe verortet die ihr Bekenntnis zum türkischen Nationalismus im Namen tragen nutzen die alttürkische Schrift oder verwenden Symbole der osmanischen Kultur In jenem Jahr wurde das christliche Konstantinopel von den Osmanen erobert In den sozialen Netzwerken einiger deutsch-türkischer Vereine stösst man auch auf Verbindungen zur rechtsextremen türkischen Partei MHP.
