Information Flood Disaster Ahrtal + Fundrasing Rekofa

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, as already reported in the media, our beautiful Ahr valley was devastated along its entire length last week by a gigantic flood wave. Many houses are uninhabitable and the infrastructure has been severely damaged. Since many of our employees were affected themselves or actively participated in the rescue and clean-up efforts, we were not operational last week, although fortunately our headquarters were not damaged in any way. In the meantime, we know that all our employees are safe and we were able to resume operations today. We expect only slight delays in our manufacturing operations and due to the destroyed infrastructure we are temporarily only available to a limited extent, but we will do our best to supply you with our products in the usual way and to be there for you. We would like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to the donation campaigns of the district of Ahrweiler or alternatively to our own Moog Rekofa donation campaign and ask you to get involved here if possible. There are not only many dead and injured to mourn, but countless people have lost their livelihood. Your support would be very welcome here! We thank you for your trust and will be very happy to continue to be of service to you.

Berlin, 18. August 2021 Extent of Damage on the Night from 14Th To
Berlin, 18. August 2021 Extent of damage On the night from 14th to 15th July, heavy rain resulted in quickly rising water levels of a number of smaller rivers, e.g., the rivers Ahr and Erft, in the federal states of Rheinland-Pfalz and Nordrhein-Westphalen. Many villages and smaller towns situated at these rivers experienced flooding which surpassed the expected extreme high-water events (likelihood of once in 100-200 years). The floods caused massive damages to buildings, streets, but also vegetation alongside these rivers. In addition, many more houses experienced flooding of the basement and ground floor. Only for the Ahr valley alone, it is estimated that 17,000 people have lost their homes; 133 people have died and 766 were hurt (as reported by SWR on 13 August 20211). Since the catastrophe response is organised on the municipal and federal level, it will take more time to arrive at general numbers encompassing all the districts in both federal states. With regard to damages to cultural property, the extent is still unclear as not one organisation or official institution is tasked to gather this information, including Blue Shield. We can say that the full spectrum of cultural property has been hit: archives, museums, libraries and monuments & sites (including churches). The last group is expected to show the worst damage as they could not be evacuated and are more susceptible to the second wave of damage, i.e., through demolitions or simply bad repairs. With this many livelihoods having been lost and insurance companies being more interested in saving costs (building new houses), privately owned monuments face a high risk of disappearing.

2019 Harvest Report by Winegrowing Regions
2019 Harvest Report by Winegrowing Regions Germany's 2019 vintage will be remembered for its very high quality. “The young 2019 white wines are already showing intense aromas and good balance, with an attractive and refreshing acidity. The reds are currently resting in the cellars, but all indications suggest rich colors, a velvety mouthfeel and tremendous potential ahead,” the Deutsche Weininstitut (DWI) is reporting. As in the year prior, 2019 was marked by high temperatures and a widespread lack of rain that ranged into drought conditions in some winegrowing regions. Producers in almost all parts of Germany reported issues with sunburned grapes in July, leading to a loss of fruit. Otherwise there were few problems with vine disease or pests, allowing winegrowers to bring in very healthy and ripe grapes almost everywhere. Many producers were even able to seize the chance to harvest Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese fruits. Some winegrowers are still hoping to produce a successful Eiswein harvest, with 42 hectares ready and awaiting the right weather conditions in Rheinland-Pfalz alone. Yet the risk associated with leaving berries for this nobly sweet specialty are constantly increasing, as climate change continues to reduce the chances that vineyards will reach the necessary temperatures of at least minus seven degrees Celsius. 2019 harvest volumes are estimated at 8.4 million hectoliters, four percent below the ten year average, although that figure varies from region to region. The following reports detail how the 2019 vintage progressed within each of Germany's 13 winegrowing regions. Ahr: (563 ha) 2019 in the Ahr Valley, as in much of Germany, will be remembered as a vintage of extreme events.
