    Europe's biggest problem now is youth unemployment – we should be looking at the German labour modelThese days we tend to talk about the divisions in Europe as one between net creditors and debtors. In reality this is just a sideshow. There is a much more fundamental gulf, hinted at by Angela Merkel in her Davos speech yesterday: between countries with organised industrial training systems such as Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Scandinavia, Austria and Switzerland – all currently with jobless rates of between 3% and 7% – and those with much higher rates of unemployment, often in…

At least as much was confirmed to me by a reliable friend, who is widely travelled. He also confirmed that only the Germans do it. Mind you, he also confounds the cliche: he once threw all the towels into the pool one early morning, along with two Brits he met in the bar the night before (another cliche).Efficient and…

  • ZM – The Zusammenfassende Meldung

    Graham
    27 Jan 2012 | 3:27 pm
    One of the lesser known parts of the German tax system is simply called the “ZM”, which stands for “Zusammenfassende Meldung”.  For anyone running a business in Germany, it is another form to fill in on a regular basis. It all has to do with the VAT (Value Added Tax) system within the European Union.  Put quite simply, if you buy something in a shop or pay for a service, then you pay VAT.  For consumers, that’s the end of the story.  The shop owner or service provider pays the VAT on to the tax office. But if the customer is a business as well, they usually…

  • How marks are decided in German primary schools

    Graham
    20 Jan 2012 | 7:48 am
    The German school system has, on the face of it, a fairly simple marking arrangement.  The marks for a piece of work are given on a scale of 1 to 6, with 1 being the highest and 6 the lowest. The numbers 1 to 6 roughly correspond to A to F in the British system as well, although 5 is usually the lowest that will be given for anyone actually completing the work or a test, with 6 reserved for those who don’t do it at all.  There are also the + and – grades in-between. But how do the marks get decided for each child in the first place? One possible answer to that question, and…

  • Why you need a VB-Nummer to register a car

    Graham
    16 Jan 2012 | 8:48 am
    I’ve talked before about how the process of buying and registering a car in Germany. Since I recorded that podcast there has been a change in the way that the insurance works, as I found out when I changed my car last year. One of the best things about the German registration system is that you must arrange insurance for the car before you go to the Zulassungsstelle to register it.  If you do not, then you will either not receive any number plates to put on the car, or at the very least they will not have valid stickers on them, making uninsured cars very easy to spot on German roads.

Then there is the danger of translating English verbs directly  into German ones, for instance the  ever so common verbal expression there is -> Es gibt,  and not - Da ist.  Below you will find such verbs discussed in detail with example sentences in their variety of…

    Seit einigen Jahren hat sich der Rotwein Fabelhaft von Niepoort einen sicheren Rang in den Regalen deutscher Weinfachhändler erarbeitet. Er kann durchaus – mal Mateus Rose mit seinen weltweit 50 Millionen Flaschen pro Jahr ausgeklammert – als bekanntester Wein aus Portugal auf dem deutschen Markt gelten. Das führt zu einem jährlichen Absatz von 400.000 Flaschen in Deutschland. Die Zeitschrift Weinwirtschaft hat den Jahrgang 2009 zurecht zum „Wein des Jahres 2011“ gekürt. Jedenfalls zeigt der Fabelhaft beständig, dass Portugal neben Portwein und Vinho Verde hervorragende und…

    Der Knall der Silvesterkorken ist verklungen. Bei der eintretenden Stille kann man sich über die Entwicklung auf dem Sektmarkt einmal etwas Gedanken machen. Und zwar stellt eine aktuelle Untersuchung der GfK (Gesellschaft für Konsumforschung) fest, dass inzwischen mehr als jede zweite Flasche Sekt über Aktionen verkauft wird (50,7%). Vor acht Jahren war es lediglich jede dritte Flasche (2003: 32,8%). Zudem kann man beobachten, dass der Abstand zwischen Aktions- und Normalpreisen deutlich zunimmt. Bei einigen Sorten von deutschem Markensekt liegt dieser Preisabstand nicht selten bei über…

  • Champagner Canard-Duchene Brut Rose

    26 Dec 2011 | 1:42 pm
    Und schon wieder gibt es bei mir Champagner. Diesmal soll es ein Rose Brut von Canard-Duchene sein. Das Haus wurde 1868 von Victor Canard und Léonie Duchene gegründet. 1890 übernahm der Sohn Edmond die Verantwortung für die Champager. In dieser Zeit wurde Canard-Duchene am Hofe des russischen Zaren Nikolaus II beliebt. Ein Ende fand dies bei der Ermordung der Zarenfamilie 1918. An die Zeit davor erinnert der Adler auf dem Etikett des Champagners. Zwischen 1978 bis 2003 gehörte Canard-Duchene zum Luxus-Haus LVMH, welches ja unter anderem für die extrem bekannten Champagner-Marken Vueve…

    Wir haben in den vergangenen Wochen jegliches Depot von gereiften Rotweinen gesammelt. Daraus ist ein Weinsatz entstanden, aus dem wir nun lesen werden. Zudem wurde aus Weinstein eine Kristallkugel gebastelt, mit der wir unsere Vorhersagen für das Weinjahr 2012 abgesichert haben. Wir können jedenfalls gespannt sein, denn 2012 wird einiges passieren. Eines der Hauptereignisse wird auch wieder die ProWein in Düsseldorf werden. Für 2012 wird nun noch mehr Fläche zu Verfügung stehen und noch mehr Besucher werden erwartet. So wird die Verkostungszone in die neu hinzugekommene Halle 7.1…

    Quelle: unbekannt Kam hat das Jahr begonnen ist der Januar auch schon bald wieder vorüber. Meine Jahreshoroskope (ich bin Waage) sagen mir alle große Veränderungen für 2012 voraus und ich hab es im Gefühl, als würde sich dies auch bewahrheiten. Ich freue mich auf das neue Jahr und was noch kommt. Ich finde es immer ganz besonders spannend wenn ein neues Jahr beginnt. Man hat so allerleih Hoffnungen und Wünsche, Vorhaben und Projekte die man angehen will, doch man weiss letztlich nicht, wie sich alles bis zum Ende des Jahres verändert, was sich noch dazwischen schiebt und welche…

  • Urlaubsoutfits in Down Under

    Wer mir auf  Twitter oder Instagram folgt, kam in den letzten Tagen sicherlich um den ein oder anderen Urlaubspost nicht umhin. (Sooorry!!!) Ich verbrachte die letzten 10 Tage in meinem geliebten Melbourne und feierte hier auch Silvester (auf einer Dachterrasse mit Blick aufs Meer). Da ich mich hier auf den Antipoden befinde, ist es derzeit Sommer, die Temperaturen zwischen 25 – 38 Grad und somit sind die Outfits entsprechend luftig. Und da ihr euch alle nach Sonne sehnt und Wintermäntel und Gummistiefel nicht mehr sehen könnt, beglücke ich euch mit meinen Amateur-Outfit Fotos. (Aus…

  • Ich kaufe mir… eine Thaimassage

    Massagen sind ein absolutes Muss in meinem Leben. Nicht nur weil ich ständig einen tierisch verspannten Nacken habe (Hello Office -Work!), sondern es ist für mich Entspannung und gleichermaßen Me-Time. Nun war ich seit meinem letzten Australien Urlaub im Sommer, aber nicht mehr bei der Thaimassage gewesen. Ein Zustand der sich in den letzten Tagen auch akkut in meinem Nacken und steigendem Stress-Level festsetze. Es musste Abhilfe her. 1, 2, 3 – Relax Direkt um die Ecke des Shoppingverse Headquarters liegt Thongtida – ein Laden der klassische Thaimassage anbietet. Von daher…

    Gestern bekam ich den unwiderstehlichen Drang Schuhe zu shoppen. Hat man ja machmal als Frau. Ich also auf und hab verschiedene Shops durchwühlt. Und durchwühlt trifft es im Grunde auch ganz gut. Kein Link blieb ungeklickt, kein Zoom wurde ausgelassen. Manchmal kommt es anders… Gekauft habe ich letztlich aber was ganz anderes… 2 Kleider, einen Schal, eine Mütze und Schmuck. Fragt nicht, es passierte einfach. Doch mein Schuh-Adventure blieb nicht ganz auf der Strecke. Ich hab bei mirapodo nämlich den Wunschsack gepackt mit Schuhen, die ich gerne hätte. Und nun warte ich auf…

  • "Ich ist ein anderer"

    27 Jan 2012 | 4:15 pm
    Die Entwicklung des Bildnisses in der Kunst der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts zeigt eine Sicht des Menschen, der sich der eigenen Identität nicht mehr sicher sein kann. Ausgehend von einem Zitat des französischen Dichters Arthur Rimbaud, der 1871 das Befremden dem eigenen Handeln und Befinden gegenüber mit dem Satz "Ich ist ein anderer" ausdrückte, zeigt das Franz Marc Museum eine Ausstellung mit Bildnissen aus einer Epoche des gesellschaftlichen und künstlerischen Umbruchs. Zwischen dem kubistisch inspirierten, plastischem Portrait der "Fernande" (1909) von…

    Energiespar-Tipps:Die Liste ist lang – aber am meisten ist beim Heizen drin Vielfach wird angenommen, beim Licht ließe sich besonders viel Energie sparen. Doch der Anteil der Beleuchtung am gesamten Energieverbrauch eines typischen deutschen Haushaltes beträgt nur rund ein Prozent. Heizung und warmes Wasser hingegen schlagen mit knapp 90 Prozent zu Buche. Hier lohnt es sich also wirklich zu sparen.Weitere Artikel zu diesem Thema:Die etwas andere WärmeSpende an Caritas
