一生所获

A LIFE FOR THE BIG CATCH

Each day fishermen sail out from the harbour in the small Scottish village of Pittenweem on the Firth of Forth estuary on the North Sea coast and catch lobsters and brown crabs. The work is hard, but nobody here would change it for the world.

两个世界,同一个目标

Two worlds, one goal: perfection

It is hard to imagine everyday life without many Kärcher products, especially for workshops. Using the example of a construction site, we show where reliable cleaning technology matters and why, at the same time, the focus is on occupational safety and the protection of health.

让想象切实翱翔

Let ideas take flights without losing touch

One company exists for several decades, has thousands of employees and is active all around the globe. Another company is brand new, so to speak, is made up of five believers and a great idea. It is a known fact that these two worlds can work very productively together and create innovations. It is also about bridging major differences.

ON THE TRACK OF A SWABIAN SPECIALITY

The Maultasche (Swabian ravioli) and Kärcher have one thing in common: they both hail from Swabia and can be found all over the world. Like Kärcher products, these delicacies wrapped in dough are popular around the globe: from sambusas in Africa and wontons in Asia to empanadas in South America. Join us for a brief journey.

公路卡车

THE LONGEST TRUCKS IN THE WORLD

They are as much a part of Australia as kangaroos and the Great Barrier Reef: road trains supply remote areas with goods of all kinds. At over 50 metres long and weighing 130 tonnes, they are the kings of the road. But these giants spend their days exposed to extreme temperatures and aggressive dirt. A normal wash system simply wouldn’t be able to cope.

每年迎接上百万名游客 科隆动物园是“教堂之城”科隆市的主要景点之一;在20公顷的区域上,有1万只动物和种类繁多的植物;每年有140万名游客参观游览。每天,大人和孩子来到这里游玩,他们不仅带来对动物园的热情,而且往往会在道路上留下污垢和垃圾。动物园的整套体系需要满足较高的要求:除了多种多样的动物、游乐区域和餐厅以外,干净整洁的环境也是吸引游客的主要因素之一。因此,必须养护动物围场/馆舍和绿地,并定期清扫道路。这为科隆动物园带来了严峻的财务挑战。

Nature as the Artist

Sparkling ice needles, glinting wafts of mist, white hoarfrost – nature is full of fascinating phenomena. Thomas Rappaport is an artist with an eye for them. In his project "giSCHt – melting sculptures" he artistically accompanies a cherry tree on its terminal way. After 80 years of blossoming, coming to red rich fruition, giving shade und being part of the all-terrain microclimate, the artist creates a unique portrait of the tree.

"Everyone likes it clean"

The world has one thing in common as far as cleaning is concerned: a clean home is important or very important to almost everyone. This shows that household cleaning, whether regularly or irregularly, is simply part of life.

Many people aim to reach for the sky in life, but only few follow the path being trodden by Murezi Casanova. At the Benedictine Monastery in Disentis, Switzerland, the novice and trained landscape gardener takes care of the greenery and monastery garden, and will soon add the salvation of his fellow human beings to his list of duties.

From advertising specialist to "steeplejack"

School grades and interest were a barriers to the initially planned degree in electrical engineering, so Ulrich Sukup chose Media Psychology and started his career as an advertiser for a large agency. Why he was missing a "purpose in life" and how he ended up in the airy heights of the Vierungsturm of the Votivkirche church in Vienna in order to carry out cleaning work – an exciting tale.

对美好生活的洞察

Insights into a good life

Family and friends, education, health and prosperity: in its study of 155 countries, the World Happiness Report indicates that discrepancies in these areas significantly influence our feelings of happiness. The PNAS* study “Buying time promotes happiness”, meanwhile, draws attention to an additional factor that has previously remained hidden: time. Because only those who have time are able to spend it doing things that make them happy. Of course, it is up to each individual to decide whether to treat themselves to a babysitter, a cleaner or special equipment to make housework and gardening quick and easy.
