Multiple punch Leitz Vario-6 5026
Up until the 1990s, you couldn't imagine an office that didn't have at least one hole punch. "Bending - punching - filing" was the favorite pastime and the unique selling point of the German civil servants and employees.
In 1993, when I was assigned to a multinational headquarters for the first time, I had to realize that other nations were also able to "fold - punch - file", but all with different types and numbers of holes.
And so for me the Leitz Vario-6 was just a gadget that I had to have. Shortly thereafter, the more professional military decided to embrace the paperless office, and the "fold-punch-file" was replaced by the "Copié-collé” replaced.
The Vario-6 was soon forgotten again. Since, despite all expectations at the time, it is a more stable gadget, it recently turned up again in a box while cleaning up; however, without instructions for use, so today I no longer know how to use it.
With its simpler colleagues, this problem is unnecessary, but they only punch like 0815.
If the Vario-6 had a battery compartment, I would probably have disposed of it long ago. So it can still do its job as a kind of paperweight -- when there might be a few letters to put on the desk again.
Addition: Inflation is stronger than before the euro?
No. The euro has been around for 25 years. On average, the Eurosystem (ECB + national central banks) achieved the inflation target significantly better between 1999 and 2020 than was the case before. The phase of current inflation as a result of the Corona crisis and the supply bottlenecks and the energy crisis has driven up prices worldwide in 2021 and 2022. Inflation has been falling continuously since the end of 2022 and is approaching 2% again.
In addition, the common currency has given Europe stability in various crises.
The common currency supports the domestic market and has helped Germany achieve strong export performance.
Thank you, I have posted your post in the relevant forum. I would also be happy to unlock you for the forum, so you can also actively participate there.
I would like to add to the minutes of the “Europe Now!” discussion group that we participants also debated how “natural” Europe has become, especially for us younger people. Many of us don't know any different. Travel without borders, pay in euros, no customs fees when shopping online, we hardly know any other way. It is important to demonstrate these freedoms in order to arouse interest in Europe.
Likewise, the majority of the group agreed that we are not afraid, but rather feel concern and uncertainty when we observe current developments.
Dear Semin, this addition actually belongs as an answer under the post: https://kuemmerle.name/foren/topic/protokolle-7-hertensteiner-gespraeche#postid-291 by Walther Heipertz. You can find this option as “Answers” immediately to the right below each forum post.
The good thing about it is that everyone involved in the post will then receive a reference to your corresponding answer.
This comment function here is intended for the 'general' of the forum.
Would be a topic for the next round on January 18.1.2023th, XNUMX, right? It's no good if we fill it up alone 😉
As we were able to determine, the half-life of such rounds is not sufficient to fill a forum even remotely. Where non-binding has become a principle, you really have to think about completely new communication channels.

My German is rusty, but someone has described my personal site not just as dangerous, but *VERY* dangerous! 😊
