balm and hygiene product manufacturer Sixtus
The former soccer professional and 2014 world champion will now lead Sixtus Werke Schliersee GmbH under his management
Both businessmen had already laid the foundations for the handover in the last two years. They began making changes in staffing and exchanged expert knowledge about the care product sector.
“I was immediately convinced by the products and had a very good overview of the challenges and strengths in this time,” explains soccer world champion Philipp Lahm, who was already a brand ambassador for Sixtus. The care product manufacturer is based in the foothills of the Alps in Upper Bavaria. It manufactures compounds from alpine herbs which activate, protect and regenerate the skin during sport.
The history of Sixtus products goes back to 1931 and now Lahm is supposed to develop the company. The product range has already been reduced and new products have been introduced. They should activate, protect and regenerate the skin during sport.
According to Philipp Lahm, managing director Petra Reindl successfully helped guide these modifications. “We have put Sixtus back on a good footing,” he explains. “I am very excited to continue this growth together, building upon a solid foundation.” Franz Kroha himself is however retiring to his core business area. He runs a packaging company few kilometers away in Miesbach.

Der heftige Wintereinbruch am Spitzingsee reichte
um am Wochenende Scharen an Skitourengehern zur vorzeitigen Saisoneröffnung zu locken
Spitzingsee – In Tagen wie diesen muss man schnell sein
Was Gela Allmann schon der Alpenblick aus dem heimischen Fenster in Aurach suggerierte
bestätigte ihr eine Freundin dann am Samstag
Ein Meter frischer Neuschnee sei am Sonntagmorgen (15
September) in den Bergen rund um den Spitzingsee gelegen
wie die Alpenbahnen Spitzingsee auf ihrer Homepage mitteilten
Das schien der Schneebegeisterung Mitte September keinen Abbruch zu tun
Wie der stellvertretende Bereitschaftsleiter der Bergwacht Schliersee
waren nicht nur Skitourengeher am Spitzing unterwegs
Auch Wanderer – wahlweise mit Schnee- oder Bergschuhen – und sogar Schlittenfahrer habe die Bergwacht angetroffen
Die eingeschneiten Fahrwege zur Diensthütte an der Schönfeldalm aber waren schon eine in dieser Heftigkeit und vor allem zu dieser Jahreszeit ungewohnte Herausforderung
Und die dürfte trotz des Tauwetters samt Regen am Montag noch ein paar Tage anhalten
nasse Schnee könne auf den noch mit langem Gras bewachsenen Hängen plötzlich ins Rutschen kommen und dadurch auch Lawinen auslösen
Vor allem im steilen Gelände sei hier Vorsicht geboten
Ferner seien viele Wanderwege schneebedeckt und vereist und damit äußerst rutschig
Gerade nordseitig dürfte sich daran trotz höherer Temperaturen im Verlauf der Woche noch nicht viel ändern
Grödl einzupacken und – sofern vorhanden – auch ein Lawinenverschüttetensuch(LVS)-Gerät eingeschaltet am Körper zu tragen
Fast noch wichtiger: vernünftiges Verhalten und rechtzeitig umkehren
Das sei am Sonntagmorgen tatsächlich der Fall gewesen
Einheimischen falle es da natürlich leichter
die Bedingungen abzuschätzen und im schlimmsten Fall einfach wieder umzukehren
„Aber eine weitere Anfahrt lohnt sich aktuell sowieso nicht“
das konnte sie am Sonntagnachmittag nach ihrer Skitour gleich selbst noch feststellen
„Wir sind mit den Kindern noch mal hochgefahren“
Da sei der Schnee dann schon schwer und nass gewesen
Was dem Nachwuchs für eine Schneeballschlacht gerade recht kam
dass sich das Zeitfenster fürs Auffellen am Spitzingsee schon wieder geschlossen hatte
Allmann nimmt‘s im wahrsten Sinne sportlich: „Dann geh ich wieder Rennradfahren.“
Die Alpenbahnen sind derweil am Montag wieder in Betrieb gegangen
Die Taubensteinbahn wegen Schneedruckschäden laut Internetseite allerdings erst gegen Mittag
Noch geschlossen bleibe die Mountaincart-Strecke am Stümpfling
Doch auch das dürfte angesichts der angekündigten Wärmerückkehr nur eine Momentaufnahme sein

German soldiers stand outside of the Palazzo Venezia with Giovanni Paolo Panini’s Carlo III di Borbone che visita il papa Benedetto XIV nella coffee-house del Quirinale a Roma
The 1746 oil on canvas painting was taken from the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli
but now safely rests in the city’s Museo di Capodimonte
Starting in 1933 with the seizure of property belonging to German Jews and continuing until the curtains closed on the European theatre of the Second World War in 1945
the Nazis plundered roughly 650,000 pieces of art from across the continent
in large part by the efforts of the famed “Monuments Men,” around 30,000 of the looted artworks remain missing to this day
Adolf Hitler was no stranger to the world of art
He himself was an avid painter and in his youth planned to pursue the passion as a career but abandoned the idea after being rejected from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna twice
As much as he was a lover of the brush and canvas
he reserved a special kind of dislike for modern art
referring to it as “degenerate” in his autobiographical manifesto Mein Kampf
and Futurism as being a product of a decadent twentieth-century society
In 1933 Hitler became Chancellor of Germany and wasted no time incorporating his so strongly felt distaste for modern art into the political system
such as portraits and landscapes by Old Masters
could stay in Germany’s state museums
was exhibited at The Degenerate Art Exhibition in 1937
But the removal of what Hitler deemed distasteful artworks from the nation’s galleries and museums for profit or destruction was not enough for the Nazis
650 pieces of the confiscated art were first to be exhibited to the public for their mirthful derision
In July of 1937 Die Ausstellung "Entartete Kunst" (The Degenerate Art Exhibition) opened in Munich
The day before to the exhibition’s opening
Hitler conducted a speech that declared “merciless war” on cultural disintegration and went so far as to say that the German art world was afflicted with “a great and fatal illness.”
the Nazis struggled significantly in the sale of the seized artworks
Putting so much emphasis on the inferior quality of the pieces had backfired
in the courtyard of the Berlin Fire Department
drawings and prints were set alight in an act of propaganda similar to the Nazi’s infamous book burnings
Suddenly there was no shortage of buyers for the so-called degenerate art
But it wasn’t solely the eradication
or profit from such art that fueled the great Nazi art heist — Hitler also had plans for a great art museum
which was to be located in the city of Linz
because if most of the pieces that had been earmarked for the large museum had been housed there when Nazi Germany fell
it would have made a sizable part of the process of recovery and subsequent return much easier
Gustav Klimt
Over the Nazis’ twelve-year reign many famed paintings fell into their clutches
including Klimt’s Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I
was commissioned by Jewish banker and sugar producer Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer
The piece was abandoned when Ferdinand was forced to flee the city of Vienna following the Anschluss of Austria — the annexation of the country into Nazi Germany in 1938
It was subsequently stolen in 1941 from the large art collection left behind
the painting was sold by Ferdinand’s niece Maria Altmann to Ronald Lauder
art collector and co-founder of New York’s Neue Galerie
Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci’s famed Lady with an Ermine suffered a similar fate
In an anticipatory move made as a result from the imminent German occupation of Poland
the painting was relocated from the city of Kraków to the much smaller town of Sieniawa
as it had been during the November Uprising (the Russian-Polish war) of 1830-1
and it was sent to the Kaiser Friedrich Museum in Berlin
Hans Frank (also known as the “Butcher of Poland”)
noticed the painting housed in the museum in 1940
and requested that it be returned to Kraków
Consistent with the masterpiece’s history of transiency
where Frank’s suite of offices was housed
before being transferred to a warehouse deposit of plundered art in Breslau in 1941
It was then brought back to Wawel Castle and exhibited
But that wasn’t the Lady’s final wartime resting place; it was discovered by Allied troops at Frank’s countryside villa in the small town of Schliersee
“Monuments Men” and a Polish liaison officer pose with the Lady with an Ermine upon its return to Poland in 1946
The Nazis went on to plunder artwork from every country that they occupied
with many pieces ending up in the private collections of high-ranking Nazi officers
In order to help protect precious European art from the Nazi’s hands
Fine Arts and Archives (MFAA) organization
whose members would become known to the world as the Monuments Men
Over 1,050 repositories for looted artwork in Germany and Austria were discovered in such places as salt mines
Although many of stolen artworks have been returned to their rightful owners
and every now and again come to light in an unexpected manner
and prints were discovered in the Munich apartment of a reclusive octogenarian after he was investigated for suspected tax evasion
around two to three hundred were believed to have originated from Nazi looting
which likely contained pieces exhibited in 1937’s Degenerate Art Exhibition
son of Hildebrand Gurlitt — a Nazi-associate art dealer
which contained works from revered artists such as Renoir
was confiscated by the German government and subsequently investigated by a large team of international researchers
Fourteen pieces proven to have been looted under Nazi rule have now been returned to their original owners
although surprisingly Gurlitt named the Museum of Fine Arts Bern in Switzerland as the sole heir to the trove shortly before his death in 2014
leading to the remainder of the dubious collection being housed there today
Even though countless paintings that the Nazis seized during their truly horrifying reign were completely destroyed
it is still quite possible that many that weren’t will someday resurface

Unter den Gästen waren auch einige bekannte Gesichter
Schliersee – Ganz gespannt warteten einige Hochzeitsgäste am Freitag schon auf dem Rathausbalkon in Schliersee
Pünktlich um 14 Uhr fuhren sie dann im schwarzen Oldtimer vor: Rennrodlerin Natalie Geisenberger und ihr langjähriger Freund Markus Scheer – das Brautpaar an diesem Tag
Den Rennanzug hat die 30-jährige Rekord-Olympiasiegerin vom SV Miesbach gegen ein langes
Ihre Haare waren – passend zum Blumenstrauß in ihrer Hand – mit rosa Blüten geschmückt
