Wenn die Deutsche Bahn ihre Bilanz vorlegt, bessert häufig die Tochter Schenker die Zahlen auf. Künftig klappt das nicht mehr: Der Konzern vollzieht den Verkauf an einen dänischen Logistikkonzern, Stellen in Deutschland werden wohl gestrichen.

Die AfD könnte ihre Bundeszentrale in Berlin-Reinickendorf räumen müssen, wie aus einem Medienbericht hervorgeht. Grund dafür sei die Wahlparty der Partei nach den Bundestagswahlen.

Die AfD könnte laut einem Medienbericht ihre Parteizentrale in Berlin-Reinickendorf räumen müssen. Wie die „BILD“-Zeitung berichtet, habe der Besitzer der Immobilie alle Mietverträge fristlos gekündigt und nun sogar eine Räumungsklage beim Landgericht Berlin II eingereicht.

Someone operating a small gratis online service in Germany posted an address for GDPR requests. I happened to be passing through the neighborhood so I went to the address to drop a cash donation in their box. But I was blocked because it was an apartment building with a locked front door and no access to mail slots which are apparently in the lobby. Buzzing yielded no answer, so I could not donate cash.

About half the apartment buildings on the street were designed to block public access to mailboxes. A bartender told me it was some kind of German privacy rule and that postal workers get a front door key to all such buildings. I don’t quite grasp the issue being solved. Mail slots can have flaps that prevent inadvertently seeing someone else’s mail. Is there a problem with malicious snoops probing into mailboxes with a camera? Or mail theft? If someone is so interested in snooping, wouldn’t they just wait until a legit resident uses the door and do a tailgate entry anyway?

Anything to increase security is a good idea in the absence of compromise. But this seems like a bad compromise because it means that Deutche Post has an exclusive monopoly on mail delivery (like USPS in the US). In the case at hand, I would not trust the postal network with cash.

Postal services are now threatened by relentless digitization. E.g.:

• Belgium has reduced non-priority mail delivery to just a few times per week
• Denmark has completely eliminated mail delivery (yikes!)

If the Denmark scenario were to play out in Germany, the mailboxes would be unreachable to 3rd party couriers. Maybe it’s favorable in the sense that the access restriction could actually prevent Germany from becoming as foolishly digital as Denmark.

BASF said in a statement it had completed the sale of its shares in Markor Chemical Manufacturing and Markor Meiou Chemical to the Singaporean group Verde Chemical.

The German group gave no financial details of the transaction, which was completed on Monday "following approval by the relevant authorities".

BASF had said in February 2024 it would accelerate its divestment from the joint ventures which manufacture the industrial chemical butanediol.

Plans to sell the shares had already been announced by BASF in 2023 in response to commercial and environmental concerns.

German public broadcaster ZDF and news magazine Der Spiegel had reported that staff of BASF's partner firm Markor were involved in rights abuses against members of the mostly Muslim Uyghur minority.

Employees were alleged to have spied on Uyghur families and filed reports with Chinese authorities.
