A Swiss town banned billboards. Zurich, Bern may soon follow 2 years ago

No, ads and toilets are separate in Berlin since 2019 [1]. Wall won the contract for the new Toilettenvertrag [2] by the city. The city says now what and where to build. Before that, toilets were only built where it was profitable for a billboard. Now the city can make the toilets even free [3] and the toilets are ad-free.

German environmental groups file objection against Tesla gigafactory permit 5 years ago

The news is a little bit short, but the objection to the first tests of their machines is, that in a case of emergency the current safety concept lacks measures to prevent the escaping of hydrogen fluoride (see the open letter in German by the Grüne Liga Brandenburg here: https://www.grueneliga-brandenburg.de/index.php?cat=2&pageID...). They claim that changes to this safety concept will require changes to the factory itself and this changes need to be implemented first, before Tesla can start with it's tests.

German digital bank N26 is facing outcry from its staff over management 6 years ago

That's a little bit complicated. Yes, the law behind German works councils (Betriebsverfassungsgesetz) only applies to workers employed in Germany (Territorial principle), but the Federal Labour Court (Bundesarbeitsgericht) has ruled that international employees could also be govererned by the German works councils, if international employees are integrated into the German part of the company and are really depended on management in Germany (»„Ausstrahlung“ des Inlandsbetriebs« [1]). But it's a narrow definition.

But the law doesn't forbid applying agreements between the management and the works council (Betriebsvereinbarungen) to employees outside of Germany.

German man living at Delhi airport since March 18 6 years ago

As a German, I don't know any law that would prohibit that he could return to Germany. The embassies organized the return flights and I read about many complications and fuck-ups, maybe that's what happened. Maybe also he wasn't registered in the "Deutschenliste" (online tool that you register as a German if you travel abroad, so you can be contacted in emergencies). The German embassy in Delhi says on their website (see: https://india.diplo.de/in-de) that no more German flights are planned, but KLM has some flights, but that must be booked by yourself.

Microsoft Word now flags double spaces after a period as errors 6 years ago

In German this is called Plenken [1] and if you're writing spaces before such double-characters, many people will think that you're not the smartest person. Angry comments under news articles often using this. Something this is called "Deppenleerzeichen" (idiot's space), but this is yet another thing in the German language [2].

I tried to buy an actual barrel of crude oil (2015) 6 years ago

Back in school (around 2006) I asked the PR department of German BP for a small sample of crude oil, that I need for my final assignment. A few weeks later I've got large glass bottle (I think maybe over a liter) of crude oil. The package needed the signature of my mom because it was a dangerous goods transport. I think the shipment was for BP more expensive than the Russian oil itself...

Hey, I'm Dennis (https://www.dennismorhardt.de/) from Berlin. Currently working for an agency with mostly public clients mostly as a frontend developer, but also some backend and DevOps.
