Bis in die frühen Morgen- 9 stunden hatten sie in der Arcandor-Zentrale in Essen-Bredeney ver- 10 sucht, das Unausweichliche zu verhindern. Doch eine echte Chance hat- 11 ten die Vorstandsmitglieder von Arcandor und ihre Berater nicht mehr. 12 Nur der Mut der Verzweiflung hatte sie noch so lange in den Büros ge- 13 halten und in immer neue Konferenzen getrieben. 14 Nach wenigen Stunden Schlaf waren sie jetzt, am frühen Dienstag- 15 morgen, wieder da und versuchten, sich mithilfe des Kaffees im Papp- 16 becher aus der Starbucks-Filiale im Erdgeschoss auf Betriebstemperatur 17 zu bringen. Doch die Luft war raus, die Stimmung im Siebziger-Jahre- 18 Bau an der Autobahn 52 war noch gedrückter als in den Tagen zuvor. 19 Nicht einmal die Politiker wollten ihnen mehr helfen, trotz des Wahl- 20 kampfes. Erst hatte Berlin am Montag die staatliche Bürgschaft für Ar- 21 candor, später auch den Rettungskredit abgelehnt. Aber ohne Sicherung 22 durch die Bundesregierung wollten die Banken die Kredite nicht verlän- 23 gern. Vorstandschef Karl-Gerhard Eick, der noch kurz zuvor, auf einer 24 knallroten Leiter stehend, seine Mitarbeiter per Megafon zum Durch- 25 halten aufgefordert hatte, sah den Überlebenskampf als verloren an.

Eine Sendung von Helmut Frei. Sprecherin: 15. August 2009. An diesem Samstag schlossen die letzten Hertie-Warenhäuser in Deutschland. Der Hertie-Song, der die Beschäftigten zu Höchstleistungen an der Verkaufsfront anstacheln sollte, hatte ausgedient. Sprecher: Das Ende kam nicht überraschend. Das Angebot der Warenhauskette wirkte nach Ansicht vieler Konsumenten genauso altbacken wie die Einrichtung. Junge Leute fanden kaum noch den Weg zu Hertie. Die Insolvenz des Unternehmens war nicht abzuwenden. Bereits in den Jahren davor hatte das Unternehmen Standorte aufgegeben. Anfang 2009 waren noch 63 Hertie-Filialen übrig. Dass auch kleine, familiengeführte Warenhaus-Firmen kapitulieren müssen, ist oft nur eine Randnotiz in einer Regionalzeitung wert. Im Brennpunkt stehen die Großen der Branche wie Karstadt. Nun steht auch der einst führende Warenhaus-Konzern Europas unter dem Regiment eines Insolvenzverwalters. Nach dessen Auffassung sind derzeit 19 von insgesamt 90 Karstadt-Filialen in ihrer Existenz bedroht.

  • Of the Most Celebrated Name in Travel Early Tours and Paris
    Thomas Cook’s Vision On 9 June 1841 a 32-year-old cabinet-maker named Thomas Cook walked from his home in Market Harborough to the nearby town of Leicester to attend a temperance meeting. A former Baptist missionary, Thomas Cook was a religious man who believed that most Victorian social problems were related to alcohol and that the lives of working people would be greatly improved if they drank less and became better educated. As he walked along the road to Leicester, he later recalled, ‘the thought suddenly flashed across my mind as to the practicability of employing the great powers of railways and locomotion for the furtherance of this social reform’. Thomas Cook Archives Thomas Cook possesses a unique collection of archive material covering all aspects of the company’s history from the founder’s first excursion on 5 July 1841 to the present. This material is held in the Company Archives, which functions as a corporate ‘memory’, offering an information service to Thomas Cook’s various departments and providing research facilities for academics, journalists and picture researchers from all over the world. Main Collections • Handbooks, programmes and brochures, 1845-present • Copies of Cook’s Excursionist newspaper, 1851-1902, and At the meeting, Thomas suggested that a special train be engaged to carry its successor, The Traveller’s Gazette magazine, 1902-39 the temperance supporters of Leicester to a meeting in Loughborough • Travellers’ incidental records (ephemera), 1851-present about four weeks later. The proposal was received with such enthusiasm • Travellers’ diaries (originals and copies), 1855-1980 that, on the following day, Thomas submitted his idea to the secretary of • Photographs of premises, staff and travellers, 1860s-1990s the Midland Railway Company.
