Manuela said: “They call us Nazis just because we’re patriots. The world laughs at us because no country is as dumb as Germany with our exaggerated tolerance and diversity They’ve been telling us for decades we should carry this guilt and so we should rescue the whole world and be its dole office.” said the “remigration” plan appealed to her “I have friends and acquaintances who migrated here and they agree: those who want to integrate should be able to stay and those who just want to exploit the social welfare system should be told to go home.” said she liked the AfD’s opposition to what she called overreach in Berlin and Brussels “I want to drive a car with an internal combustion engine I want gas heating and I don’t want a war against Russia,” she said “It would have been over long ago if all that money hadn’t flowed to Ukraine.” Several AfD voters said they opposed Germany’s military support for Ukraine and worried about a Europe-wide conflagration triggered by standing up to Vladimir Putin local party officials released eight white doves of peace into the overcast sky to applause from the crowd Free newsletterA digest of the morning's main headlines from the Europe edition emailed direct to you every week day A father of eight, Krah spoke of his fear that his 21-year-old son could become “cannon fodder on the eastern front” if Germany brings back conscription, a proposal floated in limited form by defence minister Boris Pistorius to address looming security threats Krah warned that Kaufbeuren’s surrounding region of Swabia was under threat from politicians who would take away its security and prosperity with climate protection measures and “mass migration” He presented the AfD as the defender of “traditional families” while its opponents believed there were “53 genders” Bosse has led the town for 20 years. In his wood-panelled office overlooking the town’s immaculate high street, he said that he was “ashamed” that the far right had gained a foothold again, despite efforts across the political spectrum to blunt its appeal. “I also feel shame toward the British and French and all those who suffered so much under the Third Reich that in Germany you have a political force establishing itself that is trying to just wipe away these horrible crimes,” he said. from the conservative Christian Social Union said he is haunted by a particular chapter of the Nazi past in Kaufbeuren which under Adolf Hitler hosted a dynamite factory employing forced labourers satellite concentration camps belonging to Dachau and a psychiatric hospital that orchestrated the extermination of more than 1,500 men Even after the town’s “liberation” by the US on 27 April 1945 the hospital continued to operate on the town’s outskirts under its Nazi administrators Another 100 helpless patients were murdered before GIs finally took control of the facility on 2 July no one in Kaufbeuren told the Americans what was happening and said: ‘You have to go in there and set them free,’” he said Bosse noted that 2 July is now marked by the town each year with a memorial ceremony for the victims as a reminder of the need for civil courage “We have got to stand up for this democracy together,” he said An earlier picture caption said that Maximilian Krah was a “former” AfD candidate for the European parliament election when he is still a candidate This is the archive of The Observer up until 21/04/2025 The Observer is now owned and operated by Tortoise Media This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page the Glasgow Clan is excited to announce that the we will once again be competing in the Warrior Cup in 2025 The tournament will take place from September 5-7 at the Energie Schwaben Arena in Kaufbeuren The inaugural event last year was a huge success and an electric atmosphere both in the arena and throughout the city Fans from four different nations came together to celebrate hockey in true style making it an unforgettable experience for all involved Thanks to the success of last year’s event Warrior and ESV Kaufbeuren have confirmed the return of the tournament in 2025 and the Clan are delighted to be part of it once again as we prepare for the new season While the full list of participating teams is yet to be confirmed we know that Kaufbeuren will once again play host to top-level competition with teams from across Europe expected to take part One team’s involvement will depend on qualification for the Champions Hockey League so the final lineup will be announced separately We can’t wait to head back to Kaufbeuren and experience the incredible atmosphere once more Stay tuned for more details on our participation and everything you need to know about the 2025 Warrior Cup Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker You currently use an outdated internet browser.

Text description provided by the architects. HAWE, a manufacturer in Bavaria of mobile hydraulic systems and components, initiated a design competition in 2008, won by Barkow Leibinger, for a new production center in the context of an agricultural landscape at the edge of the Bavarian Allgäu and Alps. After a postponement due to the international economic crisis of the intervening period, the 50 000 square meters project was simplified, developed and completed on-time /under-budget in 2014. © David FranckThe production halls are complemented by program zones defined as central blocks of prefabricated concrete that are connected in the center around the courtyard. They contain offices that are spatially directly linked to projection halls, and upper floors that house conference rooms and the cafeteria with its terraces offering broad views to the Alps. To the north is an entrance building in a similar configuration with lobby and admin offices. © Ina ReineckeIn order to increase speed of construction and to reduce costs the wide span beams of the halls and the sandwich elements of sheet metal for the roofing were prefabricated. The integration of mechanical systems and the grid-like structural system allowed for flexible floor layouts. The roof sheds are oriented to the north, classically, offering even daylighting while the opaque surfaces of the sheds orient to the south, ideally, for photovoltaic panels. © David FranckThe factory is exemplified here by a flexible and a serial construction system that enhances the workspace and improves the processes for the things that are made there You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email The Glasgow Clan will play in the first ever Warrior Invitational Pro Tournament in Kaufbeuren over the weekend of Saturday 31st August & Sunday 1st September We will be joined in the pre-season competition by RedBull Salzburg Since Red Bull’s acquisition in 2000 they’ve dominated the Austrian Ice Hockey League (EBEL & ICEHL) with multiple league titles and domestic cup victories Their home matches at Eisarena Salzburg are known for their intense atmosphere With a focus on talent development and excellence they remain a force to be reckoned with in European ice hockey Jokerit boasts a passionate fan base and a legacy of excellence in European hockey is a respected ice hockey club in Kaufbeuren they’ve won multiple titles and cups Their home games at the Erdgas Schwaben Arena are known for their vibrant atmosphere This will be the setting of the Invitational Pro Tournament The Saturday will see the Clan face newly crowned ICEHL Champions RedBull Salzburg in the 1st semi-final (2:30pm face-off) with Jokerit playing ESVK in the 2nd semi-final (6:30pm face-off) The Sunday will see the losers of the semi-finals play a bronze meal game (2:30pm face-off) with the winners of the semi-finals progressing to the tournament’s final (6:30pm face-off) The team at Sports Entertainment Tours have put together accommodation and game ticket packages for Kaufbeuren and the surrounding area with prices starting at just £219 per person Check them out HERE The club and SET have investigated chartering a flight to Germany however it will not be a cost effective option for fans Due to the complexity of block booking the amount of flights likely required, any of the Purple Army that would like flights included in their package are invited to contact SET: info@sportsprotravel.com We’re currently working with SET to investigate a potential more cost effective coach package For Clan fans looking to make their own travel and accommodation arrangements There are flights available to all 3 from Glasgow Airport and Edinburgh Airport.
