Differences and disputes are a major problem in everyday working life. This makes it all the more important to find a swift, amicable solution - with the help of conflict mediators. From superiors to confidential counsellors, equal opportunities officers and military chaplains to family members and friends - aren't there already enough bodies that help to resolve conflicts between members of the Bundeswehr?

Heute zum Teil in der Sammlung des Deutschen Technikmuseums aufgegangen und mit einzelnen Exponaten auch im Wehrgeschichtlichen Ausbildungszentrum (WGAZ) in Flensburg-Mürwik vertreten, besaß es seinerzeit Weltrang. Eröffnet wurde es am 5. März 1906 in den Räumen des Chemischen Instituts in...

People mistakenly thought we had already been "sold". For us, this question didn't even arise, because it was and is clear to us: his son Akram, born and raised in the south of France and who has been running the business activities of his father's company for some time,...
