The personal example set by Hans and Käthe Rosenberger was at the root of the company‘s social climate: modesty and pioneering spirit, a friendly approach and discipline, making an effort and enjoyment of success are the characteristics which define the „We are Rosenberger“ feeling that exists to this day. Both of them were not able to experience the jubilee, but their life‘s work goes on.

  • Liselotte Vogel Und Hans-Jochen Vogel Bundesjustizminister A.D
    BR-ONLINE | Das Online-Angebot des Bayerischen Rundfunks Sendung vom 24.11.2009, 20.15 Uhr Liselotte Vogel und Hans-Jochen Vogel Bundesjustizminister a.D. im Gespräch mit Gabi Toepsch Toepsch: Herzlich willkommen zum alpha-Forum. Wir haben heute ein Ehepaar zu Gast, Liselotte und Hans-Jochen Vogel. Beide haben sich vor etwa drei Jahren dazu entschlossen, in ein Seniorenwohnstift zu ziehen. Schön, dass Sie da sind. Hans-Jochen Vogel ist Münchner Alt-Oberbürgermeister und ehemaliger Bundesjustizminister, ein Mann mit einer langen SPD-Karriere. Liselotte Vogel ist, wenn ich das so sagen darf, die starke Frau im Hintergrund des erfolgreichen Mannes. Sie tritt jetzt jedoch in den Vordergrund, denn sie hat ein Buch geschrieben über den mutigen Umgang mit dem Alter. Braucht man denn Mut, um in ein Wohnstift zu ziehen? Liselotte Vogel: Man braucht nicht unbedingt Mut, um in ein Wohnstift zu ziehen, aber das ist doch eine Entscheidung, die man lange genug vorher überlegen muss, die auch Vorbereitungen braucht und die man eben am besten dann trifft, wenn man sich noch selbst entscheiden kann, wie das alles aussehen soll. Das ist auch der Sinn dieses Buchs, von dem Sie gesprochen haben. Ich möchte den Menschen Mut machen, wirklich rechtzeitig zu überlegen, wie sie ihr Alter verbringen möchten, wo sie es verbringen möchten, was sie dort haben möchten usw. Toepsch: War der Schritt ein mutiger Schritt für Sie? Hans-Jochen Vogel: Nein, das Wort "Mut" würde ich in diesem Zusammenhang nicht verwenden. Es ist schon so, dass das Alter an sich einen gewissen Mut erfordert, meine Frau hat in ihrem Buch ja auch ein Zitat einer berühmten Schauspielerin verwendet: "Alter ist kein Job für Feiglinge!" Diese Entscheidung aber war eine sachlich-verstandesmäßige.

  • The SPD and the Debacle of the 2009 German Federal Elections
    Focus on Germany London Office November 2009 The SPD and the Debacle of the 2009 German Federal Elections: An opportunity for renewal The result of the 2009 German federal elections was disastrous for the German Social Democratic Party (SPD). Germany’s oldest party slumped to its worst re- sult in the history of the Federal Republic, polling only 23% of the vote (down from 34% in 2005) (SBD 2009a and 2009b). The authors, William E Paterson and James Sloam, however, argue that this devastating defeat must be placed into the wider context of long-term developments in German and European politics: the decline of the German catch-all parties (and rise of the three smaller parties); and, the changing role of political parties in general and social democratic par- ties in modern politics. The election result is not the end or even the beginning of the end of social democracy. What the SPD now needs are a new generation of charismatic leaders, a post crisis narrative and new more porous and responsive structures.

  • Mario Draghi: Laudatio for Theo Waigel
    Mario Draghi: Laudatio for Theo Waigel Speech by Mr Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank, in honour of Dr Theodor Waigel, at SignsAwards, Munich, 17 June 2016. * * * James Freeman Clarke, a 19th century theologian, once observed that “a politician is a man who thinks of the next election, while a statesman thinks of the next generation”. This captures well why we are here to honour Theo Waigel today. Theo Waigel’s political career cannot just be defined by the elections he won, however many there were during his 30 years in the Bundestag. Nor can it be defined by his time as head of the CSU and as finance minister of Germany. It is defined by his legacy: a legacy that is still shaping Europe today. He became finance minister in 1989 at a turning-point in post-war European history – when the Iron Curtain that divided Europe was being lifted; when the walls and barbed wire that divided Germany were being removed. It was a time of great hopes and expectations. But it was also a time of some anxiety. It was clear that the successful reunification of Germany would be a tremendous undertaking. And many wondered what those changes would mean for the European Community – whether it would upset the balance of power that had prevailed between nations since the war. In that uncertain setting, Theo Waigel’s leadership was pivotal – both as a German and as a European. He was one of the strongest advocates of German reunification, and was instrumental in getting Germany’s federal and state governments to finance the reconstruction and modernisation of East Germany.

  • What Does GERMANY Think About Europe?
    WHat doEs GERMaNY tHiNk aboUt europE? Edited by Ulrike Guérot and Jacqueline Hénard aboUt ECFR The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) is the first pan-European think-tank. Launched in October 2007, its objective is to conduct research and promote informed debate across Europe on the development of coherent, effective and values-based European foreign policy. ECFR has developed a strategy with three distinctive elements that define its activities: •a pan-European Council. ECFR has brought together a distinguished Council of over one hundred Members - politicians, decision makers, thinkers and business people from the EU’s member states and candidate countries - which meets once a year as a full body. Through geographical and thematic task forces, members provide ECFR staff with advice and feedback on policy ideas and help with ECFR’s activities within their own countries. The Council is chaired by Martti Ahtisaari, Joschka Fischer and Mabel van Oranje. • a physical presence in the main EU member states. ECFR, uniquely among European think-tanks, has offices in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome and Sofia. In the future ECFR plans to open offices in Warsaw and Brussels. Our offices are platforms for research, debate, advocacy and communications. • a distinctive research and policy development process. ECFR has brought together a team of distinguished researchers and practitioners from all over Europe to advance its objectives through innovative projects with a pan-European focus. ECFR’s activities include primary research, publication of policy reports, private meetings and public debates, ‘friends of ECFR’ gatherings in EU capitals and outreach to strategic media outlets.

  • Ostracized in the West, Elected in the East – the Successors of the SED
    Volume 10. One Germany in Europe, 1989 – 2009 The Red Socks (June 24, 1994) The unexpected success of the successor party to the SED, the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS), at the ballot box in East Germany put the established (Western) parties in a difficult situation: what response was called for, ostracism or integration? The essay analyzes the reasons behind the success of the PDS in the East and the changing party membership. The Party that Lights a Fire Ostracized in the West, voted for in the East – the successors to the SED are drawing surprising support. Discontent over reunification, GDR nostalgia, or a yearning for socialism – what makes the PDS attractive? Last Friday, around 12:30 pm, a familiar ritual began in the Bundestag. When representative Uwe-Jens Heuer of the PDS stepped to the lectern, the parliamentary group of the Union [CDU/CSU] transformed itself into a raging crowd. While Heuer spoke of his party’s SED past, heckling cries rained down on him: “nonsense,” “outrageous.” The PDS makes their competitors’ blood boil, more so than ever. Saxony-Anhalt votes for a new Landtag [state parliament] on Sunday, and the successor to the SED could get twenty percent of the vote. It did similarly well in the European elections in several East German states. In municipal elections, the PDS has often emerged as the strongest faction, for example, in Halle, Schwerin, Rostock, Neubrandenburg, and Hoyerswerda. A specter is haunting East Germany. Is socialism celebrating a comeback, this time in democratic guise? All of the Bonn party headquarters are in a tizzy.
