Climate protection with reason – why prosperity is crucial
Climate Protection with Common Sense: A Plea for Pragmatism and Freedom. I am in favor of protecting our environment. I love the forest, plant trees, live sustainably, and drive an electric car. But what I find lacking is common sense in the climate debate. What is currently being sold as "climate policy" strikes me as a top-down, dirigiste program – […]
National holidays: Celebrate the festivals as they come
In Poland, Polish Independence Day will once again be celebrated on November 11, 2019. Since 1937, this national holiday has been a very special day on the calendar for our immediate Eastern European neighbors. The occasion is the regaining of the country's independence, which until 1918 was affected by the partitions between Prussia, Austria-Hungary, and Russia. But why is it celebrated in Germany […]

Pallet exchange & pallet handling in Poland: Problems & solutions
Pallet handling under stress: From Poland to pallet pooling – what really works? Pallet exchange sounds simple in theory: A truck brings 33 empty pallets to the loading point, hands them over, receives 33 loaded pallets back, delivers them to the recipient, and picks up 33 empty pallets there as well. But reality shows: Pallet exchange problems have been a problem for decades […]
Rail freight transport – myth or possibility?
Rail freight – myth or possibility? Climate protection, the transport revolution, security of supply – hardly any topic is discussed as intensively in German infrastructure policy as the future of freight transport.
