Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the number of visitors to the Cannstatter Volksfest has dropped from 4.2 million to 2.5 million. He calculated the decline at 1.7 million guests and said that while Munich is growing, the responsible parties in Stuttgart are celebrating the atmosphere. Boeminghaus criticized that the decline is apparently being portrayed as a success. https://t.co/J5zEgoD7sA #Stuttgart #Volksfest #Niedergang (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus described an application for a contract extension with public broadcasting as "completely normal." Anyone who wants to remain on-air, according to him, must demonstrate that they fully meet the expectations. #Bewerbung #Vertragsverlängerung #ÖffentlichRechtlicherRundfunk (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that FernetBuehler had previously been a civil servant and had been working as a business consultant for many years. He caught his attention on X with reasonable contributions and economic expertise. According to Boeminghaus, FernetBuehler not only describes problems but also understands economic contexts and asks uncomfortable questions. Boeminghaus asked how long one would still watch the economic foundation crumble and where the uprising of entrepreneurs, high achievers, and others who keep the country running was. A conversation with FernetBuehler offers clear language and economic expertise instead of whitewashing and political clichés, he wrote, recommending people to take a look at it. https://t.co/BQwyF9oge0 #Wirtschaft #Unternehmertum #Beratung (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus criticized that the CDU is dealing with the statements of a Civey poll expert regarding the mood in the country, a speech by 86-year-old former Federal President Joachim Gauck, and a renewed debate about the fire wall at their retreat meeting. Meanwhile, the promise of prosperity in the country is increasingly being called into question, he wrote. Boeminghaus urged the party to focus more on the economy, growth, and prosperity. Then it might have to deal less with polling figures, he argued. Instead, the CDU continues to go in circles politically and is beyond help. Even "Grandpa Kurt" might soon lose the desire to vote for them, he wrote. https://t.co/Eq6P5aMAij #CDU #Wirtschaft #Wohlstand (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus reported that the British malt manufacturer Crisp Malt plans, according to industry reports, to close its malt plant in Hamburg-Eidelstedt by the end of March 2027. The company has not officially confirmed the plans so far. The site has an annual production capacity of 110,000 tons. As reasons for the crisis in the malt industry, Boeminghaus cited the significantly decreased demand for Scotch whisky as well as high energy and transport costs. In Germany, around 350,000 tons of annual malt capacity have already been lost. If the Hamburg plant were to close, the loss would rise to around 460,000 tons, according to his contribution. He cited Vinetur from October 10, 2026, as the source. https://t.co/18Do28BQPK #Industrie #Hamburg #Werksschließung (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the BILD newspaper repeatedly displays a bankruptcy clock between articles. He urged the newspaper to give it a fixed, prominent place on the homepage so that the public can recognize the pace at which Germany, in his view, is losing industrial substance, companies, and jobs. However, he added that a daily overview of bankruptcies, plant closures, and mass layoffs could significantly unsettle large parts of the population. https://t.co/mdgs0cohwi #Deutschland #Insolvenzen #Wirtschaft (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus praised Daniel Stelter's appearance on Markus Lanz. He wrote that Stelter had conveyed economic reason and expertise there; the clarity had seemed almost unreal to him. That such arguments appeared like a sensation on German television showed, in his view, how far Germany had strayed from economic normality. Boeminghaus thanked Stelter and recommended watching the show. https://t.co/cLvPHJTWuy #Wirtschaft #ÖffentlichRechtlich #Nachhaltigkeit (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that France is dragging everyone down into the abyss and the warnings are getting louder. In comparison, the financial crisis was a kindergarten. Citing Clemens Fuest in the Handelsblatt, he reported that the ECB would intervene if the interest rates on French government bonds continued to rise. Boeminghaus concluded that this would lead to severe inflation. https://t.co/kRa2iARmhx #Frankreich #Finanzkrise #EZB (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the eco-friendly energy provider Grüüün will cease supply to around 200,000 private customers nationwide by October 31, 2026. The company only started in 2024 and had advertised price guarantees of up to ten years. Affected customers will need to find a new provider. Grüüün cited planned changes to the Renewable Energy Sources Act and new regulations for power grid expansion as reasons. The company fears that this will lead to fewer wind power and solar installations in the future, making it impossible to maintain long-term price guarantees. Negotiations with the federal government have been unsuccessful, Boeminghaus wrote, referring to a BILD report from October 10, 2026. He explained that this case illustrates how political and regulatory uncertainty can jeopardize long-term business models in the energy sector. https://t.co/NINMEcNkUS #Energiewende #Strompreise #Deutschland (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Porsche delivered 178,532 vehicles worldwide in the first nine months of 2026, 16 percent less than in the same period the previous year with 212,509. In China, sales fell by 33 percent to 21,493 vehicles. Porsche is now losing ground in all markets, he explained. Deliveries of the Taycan fell by 31 percent to 8,699, and the Panamera dropped by about a third to 13,781. The 911, on the other hand, increased by twelve percent. According to Boeminghaus, Porsche is responding with a realignment towards fewer models and higher sales prices. The ongoing sales losses are increasing economic adjustment pressure and uncertainty about the future of the company and its employees, he wrote. He cited Handelsblatt as the source. https://t.co/0VvHt1JNL0 #Porsche #Absatzkrise #Automobilindustrie (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the German automotive industry is everywhere in flames. He said that it would only be recognized after the sale of the last car, the dismissal of the last employee, the closure of the last factory, and the bankruptcy of the last supplier that green ideology does not create jobs, morality does not pay bills, and slogans of perseverance do not secure prosperity. #Automobilindustrie #Nachhaltigkeit #Wirtschaft (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the Audi plant in Neckarsulm is threatened with closure. Audi has activated the so-called bad weather clause and demanded negotiations on job cuts and working conditions. The site with more than 15,000 employees must present a viable savings plan within a year; otherwise, closure may loom. Citing assessments from economic experts, Boeminghaus wrote that around 50,000 jobs in the region could be affected by a closure. About 1,000 suppliers depend on production, and up to a quarter of the regional industrial value creation could be lost. He added that it now concerns a total of seven to eight plants, including those of VW, Audi, and Mercedes. He named WELT and dpa as sources. https://t.co/0fbpxaHufh #Automobilindustrie #Neckarsulm #Stellenabbau (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the German population is being deceived about the economic situation and that the expected recovery is being bought with high government spending. Economy Minister Katherina Reiche has raised the growth forecast for 2026 from 0.5 to 1.3 percent; additional spending on defense and infrastructure is a key driver. According to Boeminghaus, employment is expected to decline by 0.5 percent in 2026 despite the predicted growth. Inflation is anticipated to reach 2.7 percent and rise to 3 percent in 2027. Accordingly, the federal government expects 1.1 percent growth for 2027 and 0.6 percent for 2028. For employers, this is not a convincing recovery as long as higher government spending does not lead to sustainably increasing private investments and new jobs, Boeminghaus wrote. He cited BILD from October 8, 2026, as his source. https://t.co/VwbDrjzo6R #Deutschland #Wirtschaft #Staatsausgaben (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that investments by German small and medium-sized enterprises have fallen to their lowest level in 20 years, according to Creditreform. Only 37.3 percent of the surveyed companies planned investments, down from 43.5 percent in the previous year; in the construction industry, the share was 27 percent. Boeminghaus also pointed out that one in three medium-sized companies has an equity ratio of less than ten percent. Rising order intake was reported by 20.2 percent, while declining order intake was reported by 26.4 percent. While 18.6 percent of the businesses had reduced staff, 14.5 percent had created additional positions. The combination of weak orders, high costs, and lack of investments is increasingly becoming an existential burden for the Mittelstand, he wrote. Reflecting on the much-hailed recovery, he expressed himself ironically. He cited WELT and Creditreform as sources. https://t.co/gqvfmvqiXq #Mittelstand #Wirtschaftskrise #Investitionen (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus stated that Audi has launched a pilot model where employees could voluntarily switch to defense companies like MBDA, Diehl, KNDS, and Airbus for up to 24 months. They would remain employed by Audi and receive their previous salary plus an additional allowance. As background, Boeminghaus mentioned the planned reduction of 7,500 positions at Audi by 2029 and the underutilized plants in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm. At the same time, MBDA aims to double its missile production and hire an additional 2,800 employees across Europe. Boeminghaus described the defense industry as a safety net for skilled workers from the pressurized automotive industry. https://t.co/20caQCX5ns #Autoindustrie #Rüstungsindustrie #Deutschland (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the regulation on the ban of combustion engines should be relaxed and that Merz and Macron had made an agreement accordingly. This comes at least five years too late and will no longer save the car manufacturers, he explained. https://t.co/iUQfAJWVNd #Verbrenner #Autoindustrie #Klimaschutz (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the porcelain manufacturer Kahla would cease production after 182 years, and 98 employees would lose their jobs. The company, founded in 1844, filed for insolvency again in February 2026; talks with two Turkish investors had been unsuccessful. According to Boeminghaus, production should continue until the end of October, decoration until the end of 2026, and sales are expected to continue until March. Insolvency administrator Rolf Rombach cited particularly high energy costs as reasons for the closure. In addition, a weaker order situation and fewer orders from the gastronomy sector had burdened the company. Boeminghaus pointed out that the Kahla brand had been awarded more than 100 international design prizes. He cited BILD as the source. https://t.co/uK5lKkBzOV #Kahla #Industrie #Arbeitsplätze (translated)
