Alflen – September 10, 2026 -- Emilio Donaubauer, 27, generated between €2,000 and €3,000 a month from a self-taught design and content business while still a teenage apprentice, income that outpaced his training salary and became the foundation for two companies he now controls: EmilioMindless GmbH and holding entity Mindless Empire GmbH.

Donaubauer built a paying client base from unpaid gaming-industry design work starting at age 13

Donaubauer taught himself Photoshop to produce thumbnails, banners and video edits after connecting with major German gaming influencers. He worked unpaid for several years before referrals converted the skill into paid contracts, shifting focus around age 16-17 from individual creator clients to B2B customers seeking longer-term branding relationships.

Koblenz – September 10, 2026 -- Mid-sized companies lose time and marketing impact when they hire multiple specialized vendors instead of a single accountable partner, according to Sarah Walenta, founder and managing director of communita GmbH.

Walenta argues that fragmented marketing setups -- separate providers for websites, social media, SEO and campaigns -- push coordination work back onto internal staff or management, undermining the outsourcing benefit companies originally sought.

Berlin – September 10, 2026 -- German environmental group Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) has accused auto parts retailers and workshop chains of selling substandard replacement catalytic converters that leave up to 2.7 million gasoline vehicles with insufficient exhaust cleaning.

Lab tests find near-zero precious metal coating in five new replacement converters

Laboratory analysis commissioned by DUH on five new aftermarket catalytic converters found precious metal content approaching zero in nearly all units tested, undermining the long-term effectiveness of exhaust cleaning. Citing data from Germany's Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt), DUH said the majority of the roughly 300,000 replacement catalytic converters sold annually in Germany are substandard, prompting its conservative estimate of up to 2.7 million affected gasoline vehicles.

Berlin – September 10, 2026 -- Germany's poultry meat market is set to expand by more than 50% in volume by 2040, driven by annual demand growth of 2.1 to 2.5 percent overall and up to 3.4 percent for chicken, according to the Roland Berger Poultry Study 2026 commissioned by the Central Association of the German Poultry Industry (ZDG).

Self-sufficiency could fall from 91% to as low as 73% without new investment

Germany's poultry self-sufficiency rate stands at 91 percent today but risks dropping to between 73 and 77 percent by 2040 if domestic production capacity does not expand, the study finds. The import surplus has already grown more than eightfold, from 55,000 tonnes in 2014 to 462,000 tonnes in 2025. Chicken accounts for 82 percent of poultry imports, and roughly 60 percent of chicken imports now consist of premium cuts such as breast meat.

Frankfurt – September 10, 2026 -- Rising energy and fuel prices are changing consumer behavior in Germany but failing to trigger a rapid shift toward climate-friendly energy solutions, according to a new BearingPoint survey. The management and technology consultancy found that 53% of respondents plan no switch to greener mobility or heating options over the next two years, leaving fossil fuel infrastructure under sustained demand for longer than markets anticipated.

Higher prices cut driving but stop short of triggering investment

The survey shows 38% of respondents report driving less due to energy and fuel price increases over the past twelve months. Around a quarter shifted to alternatives: 11% use public transport more often, 13% cycle more, and 4% use electric vehicles more frequently. Meanwhile, 42% say price increases had no effect on their mobility behavior at all.
