We manufacture bridge bearings, roadway expansion joints, seismic protection devices, vibration dampers and monitoring systems. The crucial factor speaking in favor of MAURER SE: over 1,000 employees working for us worldwide. In this magazine, you will get to know some of them, their projects, their tasks and their professional passions. In face-to-face conversations they describe what particular challenges they have to face in their daily work and how these challenges can be mastered in cooperation with customers, partners and technicians on site. Maybe you have already worked together with one or another colleague or know about projects from his/her area of responsibility.

  • De Tyske Natjageres Organisering I August 1944
    De tyske natjageres organisering i august 1944 Det kunne være formålstjenligt at kigge på Luftwaffes natjagerenheder inden operationerne mod Kiel, Stettin og Königsberg i august 1944 beskrives. Flere af natjagerenhederne havde netop modtaget enkelte eksemplarer af den nye Ju 88G-6 og konverterede i de næste par måneder til denne flytype fra Ju 88G-1. Andre enheder fløj Bf 110G-4, som var slutproduktet af en lang række natjagere af typen Bf 110. Enkelte af disse enheder begyndte også at flyve Ju 88G. Ved de fleste enheder er der tilføjet en kort biografi af chefen for enheden, idet chefen ofte tegner et billede af enheden. Nachtjagdgeschwader 1 Stab NJG 1 lå i slutningen af august 1944 på flyvepladsen Bönninghardt i Nordrhein Westfalen 15 km sydvest for Wesel. Det var kun en mindre flyveplads, der ikke var velegnet til stationering af natjagere. Staben rådede da også kun over en enkelt Bf 110G-4 samt to Ju 88G-1. Flyvepladsen Bönninghardt, hvor Stab NJG 1 lå i slutningen af august 1944, blev bygget i 1937/38 og blev klassificeret som en Einsatzhafen I. Ordnung. I august 1944 var Oberstleutnant Hans-Joachim Jabs chef for Nachtjagdgeschwader 1. Han var kun 26 år gammel og stammede fra Lübeck. Jabs var professionel officer, der i 1937 blev uddannet som bombepilot, men som allerede det efterfølgende år blev omskolet til jagerpilot. Ved krigens start var han Zerstörerpilot og skød i løbet af felttoget i Frankrig 7 fjendtlige maskiner ned. Under slaget om England nedskød han yderligere 12 maskiner og blev allerede den 1. oktober 1940 tildelt Ridderkorset som Oberleutnant.

  • Of Coulommiers. We Flew a Northeasterly Course for Our Home Base, at 150 M Altitude
    of Coulommiers. We flew a northeasterly course for our home base, at 150 m altitude. After a brief flight time, Reinnagel spotted the airfield 10–15 km up ahead and made me aware of it. Heidenreich wanted to call the ground station and report us in. After we checked out from Villaroche the ground radio operator there called up Coulommiers right away and advised them that we’d be coming but that we probably had a hostile intruder on our tail. He would have noticed this as we flew off but would no longer have been able to notify us. In looking over the airfield, I stopped weaving. The enemy used this brief moment of straight and level flying for his first burst. Excellent shooting, hits in the port wing between the cockpit and the engine, right away a long flame.

    8-9 October 1943 HANNOVER AND BREMEN Bremen-based Flak of the 8. Flak Division claimed 10 Viermot kills during the course of the night. Four of these were confirmed by the Abschusskommission, one solely to Flak and three being credited as shared victories to both Flak and Nachtjäger (including Hptm.

    Accompanied by his regular crew of Ofw. Hubert Varzecha (BF) and Fw. Max Mayer (BM), Hptm. Heinz-Horst Hissbach, St.Kpt. of 5./NJG2 flying a Ju88, reported two Viermot Abschüsse in just four minutes, both of which were later anerkannt. The Hissbach crew amassed 27 Abschüsse plus four rejected claims before they were killed in action in mid-April 1945. Oblt. Dieter Schmidt, St.Kpt. of 8./NJG1 flying in Bf110 G-4 G9+CS with his regular crew of Fw. Schönfeld (BF) and Fw. Schlosser (BS) claimed a Halifax shot down at 00.49 hrs at Vogelsberg, ‘We were on our way to radio beacon Ida.

I am not accustomed to the prevailing bright light and fire at too great a range, Missed! With the second burst there is only a miserable bum-bum, the guns have failed! I break off briefly, reload, test fire, partial success - two cannon had failed completely. Now my adversary’s gone! Abschüsse all around us, wild dogfights, ‘There’s one behind us’, ‘Break off’, ‘Flak to starboard!’ ‘No, aircraft guns!’ It’s a madhouse, aircraft exchanging fire everywhere, bombs and aircraft falling all around, a night such as this I had never experienced before.

  • O.K.L. Fighter Claims Chef Für Ausz. Und Dizsiplin Luftwaffen-Personalamt L.P. [A] V Films & Supplementary Claims from List
    O.K.L. Fighter Claims Chef für Ausz. und Dizsiplin Luftwaffen-Personalamt L.P. [A] V Films & Supplementary Claims from Lists Reich, West & Südfront May-July 1944 Issue No. 1 These Luftwaffe Fighter Claims are extracted from BA-MA 35-mm. micro-films, and are supplemented by Claims from other published List and MSS, to provide what is a daily log of some of the air battles of the Second World War of 1939-45. The List in the Films were, in ninety-nine per cent of cases, hand-written by members of the Personnel Department under the Chief of Training and Discipline within the realms of the Oberkommando der Luftwaffe. Some of the Films are of poor quality, being under-exposed and difficult the read. So, with these factors in mind, the Editor craves forbearance, and asks for assistance and support in the building of this task. The "working" List are not definitive, are open to constant debate, amendment and correction, and are the responsibility of the Editor for the edification of students, air-historians and friends. Some notes: 1. The BA-MA films cover Claims of crews of Day-Fighters, Night-Fighters, miscellaneous units, and Flak Batteries on all Fronts from September 1939 to the end of December 1944. The Films roughly form three parts: 1. Handwritten Daily Logs [severely limited and often duplicated until about the beginning of 1943]. 2. Typed List of the 'Ubersicht über bisher anerkannte Abschuße' or, roughly, 'List of confirmed kills known hitherto'. These omit the important crash-locations, and usually cover claims to about mid-1942 only.

  • 11-12 January 1941 15-16 January 1941
    11-12 January 1941 Due to adverse weather conditions, there was no Nahnachtjagd reaction to a 35-aircraft raid on Wilhelmshaven. No Fernnachtjäger were employed over the UK on this night either. 15-16 January 1941 A 58 Squadron Whitley was the only aircraft lost from a force of 96 aircraft that were sent out to bomb Wilhelmshaven. It was shot down in flames by Oblt. Prinz zur Lippe-Weissenfeld and his BF Uffz. Renette of 4./NJG1, while flying Bf110 C G9+EM, during a 1. Welle radar-directed patrol in Dunkelnachtjagdraum Hering, under control of Lt. Jauk. Incidentally, the 2nd and 3rd wave patrols in box Hering all failed to achieve enemy contact on this night. A few hours after the events, Oblt. zur Lippe-Weissenfeld wrote his Combat Report: “On 15 january 1941 I was assigned to dark night fighting in the Den Helder area. After several unproductive vectors I was passed an interception course of 320 degrees (i.e. NW, author’s note) and 3200 m. After two course refinements I saw a Two unique nighttime shots of Bf110s, most probably of II./NJG1, being prepared for operations in the winter of 1940-1941.
