Our Executive Board‘s new business model, endorsed by the Supervisory Board, should make us one of the world‘s leading specialty chemicals companies. Energy will remain within the Group as a largely independently managed affiliate, and Evonik is seeking partners to finance growth projects in this area. Real Estate is being merged with THS GmbH to form a new company that in the medium term will be placed on the capital market as an independent player. The reason for the stronger focus on chemicals is that Evonik alone does not have the financial scope to develop all the three business areas equally and simultaneously. With the new business model, on the other hand, each business area can exploit its growth potential to the fullest. In Chemicals, the emphasis will be on technologies and products that use resources efficiently, contribute to the health and nutrition of the world‘s steadily growing population, and allow growth regions to press ahead with industrialization. Behind these major developments—resource efficiency, Patrik Wohlhauser health and nutrition, and globalization of technologies—stand attractive markets, in some of which Chairman of the Board Evonik has already attained leading global positions. We are, for instance, the world‘s largest supplier of Management of Evonik Degussa GmbH of chlorosilanes and an important producer of monosilanes, both key components for photovoltaic conversion of solar energy. And in the lithium-ion battery we have in our product portfolio one of the most promising options for the automotive electric drive. Nor do we lack for good ideas on how we can continue to support these major trends in the future. This issue presents three projects that have received our Innovation Award 2009. Our new functional silanes, for example, provide excellent corrosion protection for concrete, among other materials. They therefore allow the concrete cover on rebars to be thinner, thus saving concrete—a construction material whose production is well known to be highly energy intensive. Thanks to our research, nanofiltration is now also possible in organic solvents. Our developers have thus opened the door to more sustainable production in which, for example, solvents can be recovered by energy-saving nanofiltration rather than energy-intensive distillation. Finally, CoverForm®, a system solution devel- oped jointly with KraussMaffei, produces, in a single step, injection-molded PLEXIGLAS® parts with surfaces that are highly scratch-proof and resistant to chemicals. This does away with the need for coating lines, shortens the value chain, and saves time and money. The market has dealt with all three developments very well because they are perfectly in tune with the current “megatrends” and allow efficient utilization of resources—not least because they are the result of a target-oriented innovation process that uses resources efficiently. elements30 | 2010 E VONIK I N N OVAT I O N AWAR D 2 0 0 9 EW N S 4 The winner 23 New binder imparts high gloss and toughness to 6 New Processes category: plastic coatings Nanofiltration developed to application readiness 24 Thirty years of VESTOPLAST® contents 12 New Products category: 24 Evonik acquires Eli Lilly‘s U.S. tippecanoe New functional silanes for the construction and manufacturing site filler industries 25 Joint venture established for manufacture of glass lenses for LEDs NEW S 17 New highly flexible Polyamide 12 for cable conduits B I OTEC H N OLOGY 17 € 150 million invested in solar energy and electronics 26 Amino acids for specialty applications: markets of the future bright prospects for white biotechnology E VONIK I N N OVAT I O N AWAR D 2 0 0 9 NEW S 18 New System Solutions category: 31 Evonik at Auto Expo India The cover photo shows CoverForm®: one-step in-mold scratch resistance 31 More than 300 VESTAMID® offshore lines in three years a test plant for organic for PMMA solvent nanofiltration 32 EENTV S AN D CRE D I T S elements30 evonik science newsletter news +++ Integrated production facility in Shanghai fully onstream Evonik Industries has completed work on a large complex for base the Management Board of Evonik Degussa GmbH, highlighting and specialty methacrylates, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) the significance of this major project.

Performance Polymers got top marks for CoverForm®, a system solution devel- oped in collaboration with KraussMaffei which enables single-step processing of PLEXIGLAS® to molded components that boast exceptionally scratch-resist ant and chemical-resistant surfaces. An interdisciplinary team from Process Technology and Industrial Chemicals successfully employed a newly developed polymer in the first-ever application of organic solvent nanofiltration in a technical chemical process to recover an expensive rhodium-based homogeneous catalyst. Inorganic Materials, for its part, was awarded the prize for its functional new silane systems which, among other merits, provide 35 years of protection against corrosion in cement while containing practically no volatile organic substances. The three teams accepted their awards – including prize monies of 20,000 euro each – from Patrik Wohlhauser, Chairman of the Management Board of Evonik Degussa GmbH, in Essen on December 16. This year’s competi- tion for the coveted trophy drew submissions from a total of 22 teams. Six of them presented new products, ten of them new or improved processes, and six others new system solutions. The jury, comprising in-house and external experts, assessed the projects based on defined criteria. For one thing, the entries had to re­­ present new developments which were either market mature or already launched on the market.

  • Der Streitwert Der Denkmale
    Der Streitwert der Denkmale Gabi Dolff-Bonekämper Der Streitwert der Denkmale Gabi Dolff-Bonekämper Abstract Dass Denkmale wertvoll sein können, nicht obwohl, sondern gerade weil über sie gestritten wird, weil sie gesellschaftliche Konflikte anschaulich und verhandelbar machen, ist Anlass für die Erfindung des Konzeptes vom Streitwert der Denkmale. Wo könnte dies evidenter sein als im Berlin der Nachwendejahre? Nach der Öffnung der Mauer im November 1989 und der Wiedervereinigung der beiden ungleichen Stadthälften verloren nicht nur die Bild- und Bauwerke des Sozialismus ihre staats tragende Autorität. Auch in West-Berlin ging der sicher geglaubte Referenzrahmen für die programmatischen Bauten der Nachkriegszeit verloren. Die Denkmalpflege in Berlin stand damit vor der Herausforderung, Denkmalwerte quasi aus dem Stand heraus zu erkennen und zu begründen. Die Entscheidungen stießen nicht immer auf Zustimmung. Vieles war umstritten, wie die Reste der Berliner Mauer, die dann binnen weniger Jahre zum Konsensdenkmal wurden. Manches ging verloren, wie der Palast der Republik. Gabi Dolff-Bonekämper streitet seit drei Jahrzehnten in vielen Berliner Denkmal debatten und publiziert darüber im In- und Ausland. Eine Auswahl ihrer Berliner Texte wird in diesem Buch neu veröffentlicht.

If you time your climb for when the bells chime on the hour, you'll also experience an up-close bell recital. Ever since Italian Renaissance architects revived the proportions and orders of Roman architecture , designers have turned to the past for inspiration. Along with huge museums and towering architecture, its sprawling apartment complexes are immense, with courtyard after courtyard retreating in from the street front. In , after extensive renovation and a major redesign, the German legislature finally moved into the Reichstag building, and the area surrounding the Reichstag became a centre of national government. With the fall in the price of steel - a major construction material for high-rise structures - building upwards suddenly became much more economically attractive. We want you to love where we live, too. View over Mediaspree with Treptowers. Berlin still retains as its symbol a defiant black bear standing on its hind legs. The formerly tiny, north-facing kitchen has been relocated into a bright and sunny corner of the apartment that overlooks the nearby Thielenbrucke bridge.

Such divisions seem to have manifested themselves in every corner of the city throughout the course of history, creating a highly politicized environment, and hotly contested spaces decades after conflict ended. One particular area of controversy lies in the center of the city, along the former path of the Berlin Wall.
