We give our all for our customers, out of conviction. As a powerful economic factor in our regions, we assume responsibility for the environment and for employment. Together with our beet farmers, we aim to sustainably strengthen the position of sugar beet. We attach great importance to a transparent supply chain from the field to the customer, and to the highest quality products. As a strong European sugar company, we are looking to the future with confidence, because sugar has a future! 2 NORDZUCKER ANNUAL REPORT 2013/2014 : Sugar has a future CONTENT 1 NORDZUCKER AT A GLANCE Key figures 4 48 SUGAR HAS A FUTURE GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT 5 � Letter from the executive Board 50 � Nordzucker at a glance 10 � Strategy 54 � Economic environment and market developments 16 � optimised beet cultivation 57 � Earnings, net assets and financial position 20 � Sugar beet is the future 62 � Employees 26 � Investitions 62 � Opportunities and risks 30 � Production 68 � Supplementary report 36 � Health and nutrition 68 � Forecast 40 � Quality management 44 � Sales Sugar has a future : NORDZUCKER ANNUAL REPORT 2013/2014 3 How much sugar is needed when and where?

Nevertheless, over the course of 2013 we experienced some steep price falls for quota and non-quota sugar, which are reflected in both revenues and earnings. Higher sales were able to make up for much of this pricing effect, however. T o give you the main figures in brief: we reported revenues of EUR 2,360.9 million in total, which was EUR 81.9 million lower than in the previous year. Consolidated net income for the period came to EUR 208.7 million, compared with the adjusted EUR 368.7 million in the previous year. Part of our strategy and preparation for the era without sugar quotas post-2017 are extensive investments in our plants to boost market and customer focus, improve their efficiency and protect the environment. In the reporting year, they included investments of EUR 78.7 million in property, plant and equipment – over EUR 4 million more than in the previous year. High- lights of this capital expenditure were the first construction phase for the evaporation dryer in Örtofta and the second phase in Nakskov, an 80,000-tonne sugar silo in uelzen, as well as the completion of the juice purification plant in Clauen and the wastewater treatment plant in Opalenica. Projects to increase energy efficiency and create additional silo capacities will remain the focus of investment in the years ahead. We are planning to increase our investment volume again substantially. “ BEET FARMING IN OUR EUROPEAN REGIONS HAS A FUTURE. ” The previous year’s net debt of EUR 59.4 million has now been paid off in full. As of the reporting date, cash and cash equivalents exceeded financial liabilities by eur 52.4 million. Equity went up to EUR 1,385.8 million. As total assets remained roughly the same, the equity ratio went up from 53.7 per cent in the previous year to 59.3 per cent. 6 NORDZUCKER ANNUAL REPORT 2013/2014 : Letter from the Executive Board Together with the Supervisory Board, we intend to put forward a proposal at the Annual General M eeting this year to distribute a dividend of EUR 1.30 per share of share capital. This corresponds to a total dividend distribution of EUR 62.8 million. In the outstanding previous year, we distributed eur 1.80 per share, adding up to a total of eur 86.9 million. In a long-term comparison, the dividend is still high, however, and allows our shareholders to participate in the company’s strong earnings in the financial year 2013/2014. At the same time, a considerable portion of earnings has been retained to finance future profitable growth within the company. “ WE WANT TO BECOME ONE EUROPEAN COMPANY AND, TOGETHER WITH OUR MOTIVATED AND HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEAM, ARE PREPARING FOR the post-2017 era. ” 2013/2014 was a successful year. our wide-ranging programmes to increase efficiency are hav- ing an effect, and this year again made a substantial contribution to earnings. We were able to complete our Profitability plus efficiency programme a year earlier than planned, because we have already reached the target set for 2014/2015. Now, with an eye on 2017, the aim is to set new targets, as improvement is a continuous process. We can be proud of a smooth campaign, a good beet yield – although weather conditions were not optimal everywhere – and a team that is driving forward the company’s continued development in all areas. This annual report is not only intended to provide you with a review of the past year, but above all to show you how Nordzucker staff in specific areas work each and every day to give their best for our customers and our company. They take care of customer requests, ensure compliance with our high quality standards, implement investment projects, improve workflows in our plants and work with our beet farmers to increase their yields.

  • Practicing Love of God in Medieval Jerusalem, Gaul and Saxony
    he collection of essays presented in “Devotional Cross-Roads: Practicing Love of God in Medieval Gaul, Jerusalem, and Saxony” investigates test case witnesses of TChristian devotion and patronage from Late Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, set in and between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, as well as Gaul and the regions north of the Alps. Devotional practice and love of God refer to people – mostly from the lay and religious elite –, ideas, copies of texts, images, and material objects, such as relics and reliquaries. The wide geographic borders and time span are used here to illustrate a broad picture composed around questions of worship, identity, reli- gious affiliation and gender. Among the diversity of cases, the studies presented in this volume exemplify recurring themes, which occupied the Christian believer, such as the veneration of the Cross, translation of architecture, pilgrimage and patronage, emergence of iconography and devotional patterns. These essays are representing the research results of the project “Practicing Love of God: Comparing Women’s and Men’s Practice in Medieval Saxony” guided by the art historian Galit Noga-Banai, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the histori- an Hedwig Röckelein, Georg-August-University Göttingen. This project was running from 2013 to 2018 within the Niedersachsen-Israeli Program and financed by the State of Lower Saxony.

  • Doctoral Committee
    THE HUMAN HORSE: EQUINE HUSBANDRY, ANTHROPOMORPHIC HIERARCHIES, AND DAILY LIFE IN LOWER SAXONY, 1550-1735 BY AMANDA RENEE EISEMANN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Craig Koslofsky, Chair Associate Professor Clare Crowston Professor Richard Burkhardt Professor Mark Micale Professor Mara Wade ii Abstract This dissertation examines how human-animal relationships were formed through daily equine trade networks in early modern Germany. As reflections of human cultural values and experiences, these relationships had a significant impact in early modern Braunschweig- Lüneburg both on the practice of horse breeding and veterinary medicine and on the gendering of certain economic resources, activities, and trades. My study relies on archival and cultural sources ranging from the foundational documents of the Hannoverian stud farm in Celle, tax records, guild books, and livestock registers to select pieces of popular and guild art, farrier guides, and farmers’ almanacs. By combining traditional social and economic sources with those that offer insight on daily life, this dissertation is able to show that in early modern Germany, men involved with equine husbandry and horse breeding relied on their economic relationship with horses' bodies as a means to construct distinct trade and masculine identities. Horses also served as social projections of their owners’ bodies and their owners’ culture, representing a unique code of masculinity that connected and divided individuals between social orders. Male identities, in particular, were molded and maintained through the manner of an individual’s contact with equestrian trade and through the public demonstration of proper recognition of equine value.

    Niedersachsen/Bremen/Hamburg/Ostfriesland Resources Introduction to Lower Saxony, Bremen & Hamburg Wikipedia states in regard to the regions of this modern German Bundesland: “Lower Saxony has clear regional divisions that manifest themselves both geographically as well as historically and culturally. In the regions that used to be independent, especially the heartlands of the former states of Brunswick, Hanover, Oldenburg and Schaumburg- Lippe, there is a marked local regional awareness. By contrast, the areas surrounding the Hanseatic cities of Bremen and Hamburg are much more oriented towards those centres.” A number of the Map Guides to German Parish Registers will need to be used to find your town if you are studying this region, among them numbers 4 (Oldenburg), 10 (Hessen-Nassau), 27 (Brunswick), 30-32 (Hannover), 39 (Westphalia & Schaumburg- Lippe) Online (a sampling) Niedersächsische Landesarchiv — http://aidaonline.niedersachsen.de Oldenburg emigrants — http://www.auswanderer-oldenburg.de Ahnenforschung.org “Regional Research” — http://forum.genealogy.net Hamburg Gen.

  • Descendants of Paramund
    Descendants of Paramund Generation 1 1. PARAMUND was born in 370 AD in Westphalia, Germany. He died in 430 AD in Rhine River Valley, Germany. He married ARGOTTA. She was born in 376 AD in France. She died in 432 AD in Rhine River Valley, Germany. Notes for Paramund: Paramund was born about 370 AM in Westphalia, Germany. He died about 430 AD at Rhine River Valley, Germany. Paramund is the 25th great grandfather of Louis, husband of Eleanor of Aquitaine (1123-1204), the 14th great grandmother of Edward Southworth, the husband of Alice Carpenter, my 7th great grandmother. What is the significance of following this line? First of all, he is a ling through which descendants flow through the Westmoreland family into which our daughter, Tiffany Lenn Sharpe Westmoreland married when she married Steve O. Westmoreland. Tiffany's mother- in-law, Betty Katherine Covington Westmoreland, generously provided for me most of this genealogical information, and my appreciation of her is great for that. There are some interesting people in that line. Here are the interesting people in that line. This descendants’ line from Paramund of Germany contains 59 generations coming down to our contemporary family, down to our Westmoreland grandchildren. This line comes through our son-in-law’s connections. Notable names most people may recognize include Charles “The Hammer” Martel (686-741), Mayor of the Palace, ruling the Franks, and best remembered winning the Battle of Tours in 732, a battle that halted the Islamic expansion in Europe at that time.

  • THE ILLUSTRIOUS HOUSE of HANOVER Ann Lyon
    Plymouth Law and Criminal Justice Review (2015) 1 THE ILLUSTRIOUS HOUSE OF HANOVER Ann Lyon1 The illustrious House of Hanover, And Protestant succession To them obedience do I swear While they can hold possession And in my faith and loyalty, I never more will falter And George my lawful king shall be! Until the times do alter. Anon. The Vicar of Bray, eighteenth-century satirical song Abstract The Hanoverian kings have attracted none of the affection the popular imagination accords to the Tudors and Stuarts, still less the romanticism. They are dismissed as a boorish bunch of Germans, with the possible exception of George III, who went mad and lost America, and perhaps George IV, who left the Brighton Pavilion as a monument to extravagance and had a decidedly colourful matrimonial history. When a reporter described the Queen as a 'scowly, jowlly Hanoverian', he was not being complimentary, and even Diana Princess of Wales once attributed many of her problems to marrying into a ‘German’ family. The truth is, as usual, more complex and infinitely more interesting, but, regrettably, little official notice is being taken of the 300th anniversary of the Hanoverian succession this year.

Keywords: House of Hanover, royal succession, constitutional history, Act of Settlement Introduction Apart from a diversion through the female line in the person of Queen Victoria, and a change of name to Windsor, the House of Hanover has remained in place since 1714, to become the most enduring dynasty to

Will man sich mit dem Stadtgebiet von Höxter, dem ehemaligen Kloster Corvey und dem damit verbundenen Corveyer Land beschäftigen, so stellt sich immer wieder die Frage, welche Informationen bereits in ge- druckter oder digitaler Form veröffentlicht und verfügbar sind. Dabei gilt es, neben dem alther- gebrachten gedruckten Buch in zunehmendem Maße, digitalisierte Fassungen von Büchern, digi- tale Bücher (e-books) und im Internet angebotene Informationsplattformen zu berücksichtigen. Als ein erster Grundstock für die Bibliographie wurde der Bibliotheks- bzw. Literaturbestand des Stadtarchivs (erweitert durch den alten Bibliotheksbestand des höxterschen König-Wilhelm-Gym- nasiums) und der Stadtarchäologie herangezogen. Eine Ausweitung und Intensivierung erfuhr die Arbeit an der Bibliographie parallel zu den Arbeiten am Antrag für das ehemalige Kloster Corvey um Aufnahme auf die Liste des UNESCO-Weltkulturerbes. Die erste Version der „Biblio- graphie Höxter, Corvey und Corveyer Land“ wurde im Februar 2011 in eine PDF-Datei überführt und auf die Website der Stadt Höxter gestellt.
