Goldschmidt

🚂 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘆-𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸! Probably everyone still remembers the rhythmic, pounding sound of a train running on unwelded rails. Some only know it from historical films - others have heard it live. This sound has largely been silenced today, thanks to the ambitions of Hans Goldschmidt, the #inventor of the continuously welded track!   💡 As early as 1895, Professor Goldschmidt developed the aluminothermic process, the basis for the Thermit® welding process, with which tracks can be welded without gaps and receives the Imperial Patent for it!    💡 Today, almost all rails of different profiles and quality levels can be joined together using the Thermit® welding process - thanks to the continuous development of various patented processes by Goldschmidt.   💡 Each year, tracks with a length of around 11,000 kilometres are welded using the #Goldschmidt Original Thermit® welding process! This corresponds to the distance from the North Cape to the Cape of Good Hope. 🗺 #didyouknow #teamgoldschmidt #innovation #originalthermit

Everything was spot on at this year's #summerparty of our Leipzig site: in mild temperatures and sunshine, we welcomed our colleagues and their families last Saturday in the beautiful setting of Leipzig's Rosental - a park at the outskirts of Leipzig's Auwald forest, close to the city centre. 🌿 While the adults relaxed at the #gettogether with cool drinks and local specialities, the little ones enjoyed themselves too: after a scavenger hunt in the park, little surprises awaited all of the "treasure hunters". Afterwards, there was still time to get cosy on picnic blankets and beanbags before the musical highlight of the evening began: together with more than 32,000 Leipzigers, we listened to epic soundtracks spanning 100 years of film history at the "Klassik airleben" Saturday concert of the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig. From "Somewhere over the Rainbow" from the musical The Wizard of Oz (1932) to the famous Titanic soundtrack (1997) up to Hans Zimmer's melancholic, dark sounds from the sci-fi thriller Inception (2010), there was something for everyone! As a co-sponsor of the "Klassik airleben" concerts, again we had the opportunity to present ourselves as a regional employer at the event. Thanks to everyone for the great evening! #goldschmidt #klassikairleben #leipzig #railindustry #event #sponsorship --- Beim diesjährigen Sommerfest unseres Leipziger Standorts stimmte einfach alles: Bei milden Temperaturen und Sonnenschein begrüßten wir unsere Kolleginnen und Kollegen sowie deren Familien am vergangenen Samstag in der schönen Kulisse des Leipziger Rosentals – einem Park im Leipziger Auwald unweit vom Stadtzentrum. 🌿 Während die Erwachsenen beim Get-together bei kühlen Getränken und lokalen Spezialitäten entspannten, kamen auch die Kleinsten auf ihre Kosten: Denn nach einer Schnitzeljagd im Grünen gab es kleine Überraschungen für alle „Schatzjäger“. Anschließend blieb noch Zeit, es sich auf Picknickdecken und Sitzsäcken gemütlich zu machen, bevor das musikalische Highlight des Abends folgte: Gemeinsam mit mehr als 32.000 LeipzigerInnen lauschten wir auf dem „Klassik airleben“ Samstagskonzert des Leipziger Gewandhausorchesters musikalischen Meisterwerken aus 100 Jahren Filmgeschichte. Von „Somewhere over the Rainbow“ aus dem Musical The Wizard of Oz (1932) über den Soundtrack aus dem Film Titanic (1997) bis hin zu Hans Zimmers melancholisch-düsteren Klängen aus dem Sci-Fi Thriller Inception (2010), es war für jeden etwas geboten! Als Co-Sponsor der „Klassik airleben“ Konzerte durften wir uns auf der Veranstaltung erneut als regionaler Arbeitgeber präsentieren. Es war uns wieder ein großes Vergnügen, danke für den schönen Abend!

🎼 The anticipation is growing - for the annual open-air highlight amongst classical music lovers and #Leipzig residents! The "Klassik airleben" concerts of the world-renowned and award-winning Gewandhausorchester will take place this year on 22 and 23 June in Leipzig's Rosental - and Goldschmidt will be part of it. We are a long-standing Classic Partner of the Gewandhaus Orchester and the "Klassik airleben" concerts. For us, this is the perfect fit, as the global Goldschmidt Group has had its headquarters in Leipzig since 2004 and has close ties to the region. The event is also a special highlight for all colleagues from the area, as we will be enjoying the concert as part of our joint summer event on Saturday in the Rosental. We are already packing our picnic blankets and looking forward to a great night of music and fun! --- 🎼 Die Vorfreude wächst – auf das jährliche Open-Air-Highlight für alle Klassikfreunde und LeipzigerInnen! Die „Klassik airleben“ Konzerte des weltbekannten und -prämierten Gewandhausorchesters finden in diesem Jahr am 22. und 23. Juni im Leipziger Rosental statt – und Goldschmidt ist mit dabei. Wir sind langjähriger Classic Partner des Gewandhausorchesters und Unterstützerin der „Klassik airleben“ Konzerte. Nichts liegt für uns näher, denn die weltweite Goldschmidt-Gruppe hat bereits seit 2004 ihren Hauptsitz in Leipzig und ist eng mit der Region verbunden. Die Veranstaltung ist zusätzlich ein besonderes Highlight für alle Kolleginnen und Kollegen aus der Region, weil wir das Konzert im Rahmen unseres gemeinsamen Sommerfests am Samstag vor Ort im Rosental genießen werden. Wir packen schon mal die Picknickdecken zusammen und freuen uns auf einen musikalisch-entspannten Abend! Bild 1 und 2: Eric Kemnitz #teamgoldschmidt #klassikairleben #event #sponsoring #railindustry
