During rush hours, however, even Munich’s streets can be scary places, when you’re on a bike and trucks and cars are rushing by. Our streets can also be deadly places. Fully one-third of bike fatalities happen within...

Märklin Werksbesichtigung

Ich habe mit vielen Mitarbeitern bei der Werksbesichtigung gesprochen, und war sehr beeindruckt von der Freundlichkeit, der Kompetenz und emotionale Bindung zur Arbeit und Produkt dieser Mitarbeiter.
