To all those who appreciate or prefer the conventional tradition of the Christmas and New Year greeting (compared to the 1st less traditional greeting a few days ago...):
Despite - or perhaps because of - the harrowing events in Magdeburg, and not to forget in so many other places around the world at the moment, we would like to wish you a happy and peaceful Christmas.
May - despite everything - the year 2025 begin full of confidence, health and inspiring opportunities for you!

Looking back on a challenging year 2024 - a year in which together we achieved every goal we set ourselves, despite numerous challenges: As we started out under the sign of our motto ‘Resilience 2024’, we have demonstrated strength and learnt to fully exploit our potential. We wish this strength and vigor to everyone who needs an extra-thick load of this daily ‘lubricant’ at this point and right now...
For Christmas 2024 and the coming year 2025, my greatest wish is, indeed, that we all internalize the traditional Christmas motto, or a suitable symbol, for ourselves:
Pro-Frieden | Peace | Paz | Paix | Vrede | Paqe | سلام | Խաղաղություն | Damai | Bakea | শান্তি | Mir | Mip | Peoc'h | Мир | 和平 | Pau | Fred | Vakacegu | Kapayapaan | Rauha | მშვიდობა | Ειρήνη | Lapè | Aminci | Maluhia | שָׁלוֹם | शांति | Friður | Perdamaian | Síocháin | Pace | 平和 | Aşîtî | ئاشتی | pax | Ramybė | Fridden | സമാധാനം | Paċi | Te rangimarie | Ainemmon | Амар амгалан | शान्ति | Patz | صلح | Pokój | ਸ਼ਾਂਤੀ | Śandipen | Filemu | Mier | Nabad | tengtrem | Faitoʻo | அமைதி | ความสงบ | ཞི་བདེ | Nonga | Barış | Tinchlik | Hòa bình | Heddwch | Paas...
With this in mind, please let us spread the above simple message in the various languages of this world and with united energy - and welcome the New Year with courage, joy and determination! Despite everything, or precisely, because of it...
Pro-Peace | Carpe Diem | Panta Rhei
