Available in shops only on Saturday, May 10 and Sunday, May 11, the Mother’s Day menu of doughnuts includes: A rather rare sight because the garden dormouse is a nocturnal animal information that came to light through the research work Kelkheim (ju) – Susanne Steib beams all over her face when she talks about the small The manager for nature conservation projects at BUND knows that the little dormouse is in danger The biggest fan is Mayor Albrecht Kündiger who wants to make his city the city of garden dormice The first step in this direction was an exhibition in the town hall interested parties could go on the „search for traces of the garden dormouse“ The small exhibition on the project of the same name by the BUND the Justus Liebig University Gießen and the Senckenberg Society for Nature Research informed about the garden dormouse and the research methods to get to the bottom of the masked dormouse and its way of life on the Red List he is listed in the category „endangered“ The populations of the garden dormouse have declined massively in recent decades and orchards as well as high altitudes of some low mountain ranges such as the high spruce forests in the Harz or in the Bavarian Forest many occurrences have been lost in the last 100 years The causes were hitherto completely unclear „the little dormouse is little known and therefore little researched,“ says Susanne Steib handed over to Susanne Steib a deceased garden dormouse a team of nature conservation and science formed to go for the search of traces The goal: the conservation of garden dormouse populations in a large part of its German distribution area to which Kelkheim and the Rhine-Main area belong food analyses will also be carried out in Hesse telemetry of individual animals will be taken dead dormice found will be examined for diseases and parasites the temperature profile in hibernation quarters will be observed and hair samples will be analysed genetically Volunteer citizen scientists were also involved in the research work the research work would not have been possible,“ confirms Steib This was the only way to investigate all conceivable areas playing a role in the disappearance of the garden dormouse.“ Very important are the reports about sightings of the animals The special commission „SOKO garden dormouse“ began its work under meldestelle.gartenschlaefer.de people could report sightings 4,000 verified sightings have been collected throughout Germany there were several sightings which interestingly decreased in the direction of Fischbach but the rodent was discovered also in Königstein and Kronberg In addition to the sightings by the „citizen scientists“ science dealt extensively with the dormouse Over 200 dead garden dormice were dissected and examined; with the help of faecal collections over a period of three years it was possible to determine what the garden dormouse eats and how contaminated its food is Teeth of the dead finds were cut open in order to determine the age of the animals on the basis of the annual rings since it is still not possible to say for sure how old the rodents can become in the wild Susanne Steib explained to the interested audience the approach of the research and presented initial results it was found that the adaptable garden dormouse finds fewer and fewer suitable habitats Wiesbaden is the secret capital of the garden dormouse here the rodent has even conquered the main station as a habitat for itself The natural habitat of forests has long since changed considerably due to intensified forestry and the consequences of climate change „Although there is currently a rethinking in dealing with the forest has ensured that our little friend can no longer find a home here,“ says the expert The research had shown that the garden dormouse is not a food despiser „We gained this insight from the collected faecal samples They revealed a lot about the feeding behaviour of the little guy,“ says Susanne Steib The use of rat poisons and pesticides also has a direct impact on the population „All of the dead finds examined showed considerable contamination with poisons even those that are already banned today.“ the researchers and Steib were able to give an all-clear in one direction: There is no genetic impoverishment in the garden dormouse but there are a variety of different genetic lines in Germany And this even though the dormouse cannot cover long distances on its short legs Even if the populations in the Rhine-Main area seem to be stable the BUND promotes a wide variety of protective measures They accordingly take care of all habitats and start protection campaigns in cities retreats are created for the garden dormouse by planting hedges the care of orchards or specifically by offering nesting boxes in which the rodent can raise its young and hibernate It is important to Susanne Steib that everyone is involved in these processes: from allotment garden associations to forest owners from pest controllers to nature conservation authorities This starts with covering the rain barrel in the garden creating natural hiding places such as piles of stones taking the small rodent into account when designing cities and cultural landscapes,“ says Steib Because this helps not only the garden dormouse but its entire habitat with all species living within Copyright Taunus Nachrichten 2009 bis 2025 a phenomenon particularly noticeable within the South Korean tyre maker’s European operation the company has set up a new production facility in the Czech Republic and a European headquarters in Germany as part of its ‘Global Nexen’ strategy This expansion is occurring parallel to similar growth in Korea and the USA Other far-reaching changes have been made in the areas of sales Nexen Tire’s vice president Europe Central & East says these changes reflect the company’s “new aspirations” and will propel Nexen into the global tyre making top ten During a recent visit to Nexen’s European headquarters in Kelkheim we learned more about the path the company has taken in recent years and where it is today Back when Nexen Tire opened its first European branch office in Eschborn (also near Frankfurt) in 2008 few could foresee the way the company would grow Nexen supplies original equipment tyres to Porsche and is an official partner of Manchester City F.C where production is currently being ramped up following its entry into operation last summer The tyre maker remains on schedule to reach its full first-phase production capacity of five to six million tyres per annum the plan outlined at the factory’s inauguration calls for capacity to further increase to 12 million tyres a year This capacity will not only meet growing demand within Europe’s replacement tyre market but also from OEM customers within the region While the Czech facility isn’t yet supplying original equipment tyres to customers in Europe the first approval from a vehicle manufacturer is expected in the coming year Gulow stresses that sales growth will primarily be driven by tyres “developed and produced in and for Europe.” R&D capacities have expanded in parallel to production in the year or so since the Žatec plant came on stream When Nexen Tire first set up its NETC (Nexen European Technical Center) in 2011 the office was little more than a contact point between local tyre markets and the central R&D facility in South Korea Today the R&D centre at Nexen’s European headquarters in Kelkheim rivals its facility in Seoul and Nexen Tire also operates a comprehensive R&D centre in the USA Theoretical development work performed in Kelkheim is supported by a team at the Žatec site Locating both the theoretical and practical elements of tyre development within the same facility would arguably have been a more advantageous arrangement for Nexen however the tyre maker decided not to relocate its R&D team to the Czech Republic so not to lose the close contact its experienced workforce in Germany maintains with important customers particularly those within the automotive industry Further evidence of Nexen Tire Europe’s intention to grow original equipment business can be seen in the appointment of Edwin van der Stad as vice president Europe OE in March Van der Stad brings 30 years of experience in tyre development and the original equipment tyre business to his new role in which he reports directly to John Bosco Kim The new vice president of OE for Europe is working to build on Nexen’s existing OE coups including its tyre supply for the Porsche Cayenne in South Korea since 2016 and for the Porsche Macan since 2017 Nexen Tire has secured a place for itself within the quality or tier 2 segment of the tyre market but Peter Gulow stresses that “our tyres have long offered the properties of a tier 1 manufacturer.” Gulow refers not only to the “good test results” that Nexen tyres have gained in independent comparative evaluations but also opines that they offer the “the best price-performance ratio on the market.” Further improving the range’s positioning and branding has nonetheless been important as it’s primarily brands with the “strongest price-performance” ratio that are best placed to succeed against the tyre majors’ second and third brands Chances here are of course improved through demand-driven campaigns motorsport engagements and football sponsorship such as with English Premier League club Manchester City Nexen Tire’s management team has attached particular importance to marketing and its diversification We’ve already mentioned original equipment as an increasingly relevant sales channel Manufacturers who want to gain a foothold in Europe typically seek access to the market through cooperation with a handful of important wholesale customers That was and remains no different for Nexen Tire and major European customers are still accorded “outstanding importance.” But while business with large customers in Europe continues to primarily be ‘order to function’ – classic pre-order production and container deliveries – in recent times this business model has been supplemented by direct business with retailers Nexen Tire Europe has commissioned Zufall Logistics to provide the services that drive its retail business and here the logistician draws upon experience gained working with other major tyre manufacturers It offers Nexen storage space for up to a quarter-million car tyres at the 9,000 square metre tyre warehouse it opened in central Germany last year and Nexen itself also has a block storage facility in the area Peter Gulow shares that new logistics capacities enable Nexen to “deliver even faster” and will continue to provide benefits going forwards Nexen Tire opened its new European HQ near Frankfurt in 2018; the facilities now houses 90 employees (Photo: Studio Holger Knauf Growth within Nexen Tire Europe’s retail business has been supplemented by the launch of a customer loyalty programme The Nexen Point programme has grown since its launch more than three years ago; Ilhan Kurban shares that more than 650 Nexen Point partners can now be found across Europe Although this customer loyalty programme is structured as a loose agreement between retailer and manufacturer Gulow notes that it nevertheless includes agreements on necessary target volumes The vice president for Europe Central & East explains that the benefits for partners who take higher volumes with Nexen range from simple product presentations in the showroom to extensive signage in and around their business The tyre maker offers its partners three levels of support packages as part of its programme Further support for Nexen Tire Europe’s retail business came last autumn with the launch of its newly-developed B2B shop The Nexen Tire B2B portal caters to small and large customers alike and provides an extensive range of functions as well as data on all business processes No talk of Nexen Tire’s global realignment over recent years would be complete without mentioning its new European headquarters in Kelkheim The company invested some 20 million euros to develop the facility which combined its existing Eschborn and Höchst operations in Germany the headquarters in Kelkheim now houses approximately 90 employees And Peter Gulow adds that Nexen has no intention of slackening its pace of development; “Nexen will continue to expand in Europe.” When the new RMV timetable comes into force on 15 December especially on the route to and from the airport Because that's when the new Gateway Gardens S-Bahn station will be included in the route and after less than four years of construction "The commissioning of the Gateway Gardens S-Bahn station is part of the largest infrastructure expansion in the RMV network for decades The new station will enable passengers to travel to the metropolises of Frankfurt Offenbach and Wiesbaden every 15 minutes and without having to change trains," said RMV Managing Director Prof "With only five years from the award of the financing to completion Gateway Gardens is the first construction project that I have accompanied in my professional life from the ground-breaking ceremony to the commissioning The station is a prime example of rapid planning and construction and a model for all other major projects." The connection of Gateway Gardens to the S-Bahn network is particularly advantageous for the approximately 19,000 employees in the district: the travel time by public transport from Frankfurt's main station is reduced to 10 minutes and the previously necessary change of trains is no longer necessary For passengers in or from the direction of Wiesbaden the journey time and about 5 minutes longer 15-minute cycle in the S-Bahn network is further expanded is not the only change in the new timetable After the S-Bahn frequency has already been steadily expanded in recent years S-Bahn lines that run through the Frankfurt Citytunnel are now generally every 15 minutes from 6 a.m the S6 now also runs at continuous hourly intervals on party nights from Friday to Saturday Saturday to Sunday and before public holidays Every 30 minutes between the Rhine-Main and Rhine-Neckar metropolitan regions .The RegionalExpress line RE60 runs on the highly demanded axis between Frankfurt on weekends at hourly intervals between the Rhine-Main and Rhine-Neckar metropolitan regions With now 15 connections per weekday and 14 connections on weekends this is almost double the previous number of trips on the RE60 between Darmstadt and Mannheim Together with the hourly regional trains RB67/68 this results in an approximate half-hourly service between numerous cities RheingauExpress: at hourly intervals from Eltville to Frankfurt Through the cooperation of the transport companies VIAS and HLB additional express connections of the RE9 will be possible which was newly established in December 2018 will be supplemented by five additional trips in each direction at hourly intervals The advantage for Rheingau commuters: the RE9 runs from Eltville to Frankfurt without stopping at Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof This results in a travel time saving of 10 minutes compared to the Rheingau line RB10 the range of services will also be expanded so that all trips of the RheingauExpress' will have connections in Niederwalluf to and from Bad Schwalbach Also on the bus line 171 there are new connections in Eltville to Geisenheim in the afternoon But the RB10 also runs more frequently: there are additional trips in the morning and afternoon between Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof and Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof as well as an additional late-night trip between Frankfurt and the Rheingau in each direction on party nights Many timetable extensions in the entire RMV area individual additional trips will be offered on numerous lines are the fast Sprinter trains on the RE50 Frankfurt - Fulda more connections in the popular X-Bus network and more through trains to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof on both the Dreieich and Niddertalbahn The RB21 between Wiesbaden and Niedernhausen will run every half hour during the day buses will supplement the rail route of the RB12 between Kelkheim Liederbach and Frankfurt Höchst during rush hours and run as far as Industriepark Höchst The most important timetable changes in the regions in detail: On all S-Bahn lines: Further extensions of the 15-minute frequency All S-Bahn lines that run through the Frankfurt Citytunnel (S1-S6 as well as S8 and S9) are Monday to Friday in the period from 6 to 10 am and from 3 to 8 pm generally at 15-minute intervals S1 (Wiesbaden -
