Beach boys

Palm trees, the sunset, a daring leap into the air: this image could eas-ily be of Venice Beach in Los Angeles. These skaters are on the Turkish Riviera, however, mastering the quarter pipes and grind rails on the seafront. It’s no cooler 11,000 kilometers further west ...

One on one

A statement about reliability can be boldly placarded on a wall: KHS CSO Tobias Wetzel prefers to make direct eye contact with his cus-tomers at trade shows, however – even if he has to peer around a cor-ner to do so! A claim is a promise that’s best fulfilled in person.

Frail bond

In 1823, the poet Goethe (right) celebrated his birthday with his last muse Ulrike von Levetzow at the White Horse Hotel. When he seized the opportunity to propose to the noblewoman, 55 years his junior, she declined to accept.
