Hi everyone,

I just received a rather alarming email from Mr. Kanig, the Manager of the Ringberg Hotel. It appears that the administration of the Ringhotel Group has decided to sell off a number of hotels in order to avoid to having to file for "Gläubigerschutz", which is the German equivalent of "Chapter 11". Unfortunately, the Ringberg Hotel seems to be among them. At this point it's not clear if this affects our contract, but seeing WHO they sold this property to (The Rewe group), doesn't exactly make things look to good.

Si y a des gens qui peuvent m'expliquer ce qui se passe ?

PLEASE don't start drama yet. We don't know if we will be affected in any way. As soon as we find out more news, we'll make sure to publish them ASAP.


The Ringberg group wants to shrink its chain of hotels, which is in
deficit. They sell one third of their hotels to the REWE Group.

Cologne - The Munich Ringberg Group sells one third of their 443 hotels. Those
137 houses, some of which have popular names such as the Hotel Kaiserin Augusta
in Weimar, the Ringberg Hotel in Sohl and the Ringhotel Chateau Garni in Berlin,
have generated a turnover of 550m. Euro, and "a loss of less than 50m Euro",
according to a spokesperson.

Germany's second largest groceries dealer, REWE of Cologne, takes over 119 of the
hotels in Eastern and Southern Germany. 18 hotels will be sold or closed. A
price has not been published.

The entire Ringhotel Chain with its 10800 employees had to suffer from the
competition of the cheaper automated hotels, and began slipping into the red
back in 2003.

[...]

REWE is rather optimistic to make the hotels more profitable soon, catching up
with the market leader, EDEKA. "We take over the hotels and the employees, but
not the concepts", so a speaker of REWE. 80 Hotels will be restructored into
overnight discount malls which are supposed to attract folks from the Eastern
states and from the BeNeLux States. "Bed And Breakfast was yesterday. The new
Motto is: Shop Till You Drop. Shop and sleep."

Je ne penses pas, compte tenu de la description du type de modifs qu'ils veulent faire que notre hotel soit concerné en fait... mais vivement plus de nouvelles

Rigoles pas, c'est un clin d'oeil certainement a l'ancien hotel ou avait lieu anthrocon et qui a fini rasé et remplacé par un target, un centre commercial d'une chaine tres courante aux états unis.

Je déteste les poissons d'avril.

Jusque maintenant je n'en ai entendu que de mauvais.

Depuis celui-ci, jusqu'à l'annonce d'un film "live" des Chevaliers du Zodiaque, produit par Brad Pitt (et dans lequel il se serait gardé le rôle de Hyoga, chevalier du Cygne), en passant par Latinvixen prétendant être accro à la cocaïne et enceinte et demandant si ça pourrait nuire au bébé (!!!)....

Conneries, et pas drôles en plus.

Vraiment, je déteste cette tradition idiote.
