In line with the saying:

“Retirement doesn’t mean old age,
Retirement means enjoying well-earned leisure time after a busy working life”,

we say goodbye to our colleague Heidemarie Günther after exactly 20 years with DTG in Magdeburg. On 31.12.2020 she will start her well-deserved retirement.

We would like to specially thank Ms. Günther for her tireless work in the area of the inland waterways around Berlin. Her work has produced important and successful results.

For the future we wish her all the very best, and especially constant good health in these challenging times.

In a recent special publication “North Rhine-Westphalia – the water state”, Germany’s biggest motoring club, the ADAC, presented the range of possibilities that the inland waterway system offers and really helped to show its potential.

Here is an excerpt about the DTG and MS “Schönrain”

The roots of our activities as a cooperative in Berlin go right back to the year 1898. After pulling out of the capital around 11 years ago, now is the right time for our return.
From 1 November 2020 the DTG will be present in Berlin once more.

Jan Bergemann has joined us, an expert in the area of inland waterways. For many years he has played an active role in the development of inland water transport and waterway logistics in the Berlin area and surrounding states. His expertise will help drive forward the continuing positive development of the DTG.

With this organisational realignment, we are sure that we have made an important step for the future.
Jan Bergemann will head up our new office from 2 November 2020. The address is:

DTG Deutsche Transport-Genossenschaft Binnenschifffahrt eG
Westhafenstraße 1
Verwaltungsgebäude
Bereich F
13353 Berlin

The operational potential of the inland waterway system often remains hidden for many companies and freight forwarders, especially when it comes to the transport of items with large volumes and weights.

With enough advanced notice, delivery dates can be met with complete reliability. If needed, a barge with the right crew can be operational 24/7. There are virtually no restrictions on dimensions or weights.

For the future, it is necessary to integrate barges into the transport chain as a reliable means of transport. This will help the environment and relieve pressure on the road system.

We are also happy that we can support younger people in 2020.

As of 01.08.2020 we have taken on Lasse Küpper as a trainee for transport and logistics.

Lasse Küpper will start by working in our transport planning department in Duisburg. In the course of his time as a trainee, he will also gain experience in other departments and in our subsidiaries.

Our former trainee Jana Benli has completed her formal qualification in office management and passed her final examination with flying colours!

We are pleased to announce that we have given her a permanent position in our accounting department, so from now on she is no longer a trainee. She has deserved this not just because she passed her exam, but also because she is a great person who fitted into our team very well during her time as a trainee.

We look forward to working well together in the future.

We would like to take you into the New Year with this quotation and the reminder that only humans  have the  possibility to do  so  many  noble  things: to  question our actions  in a responsible manner; to correct wrongdoing; to show compassion; to not selfishly exploit weakness, but to utilize our strengths for the benefit of others.

The whole DTG-Team and our colleagues from ARNO-Ship would like to thank you for your support and cooperation in the past year. We wish you and your families a wonderful Christmas and look forward to continuing our relationship as fair partners in 2020.

As in previous years, we are once again supporting two charitable organisations this year, instead of sending out presents. The volunteers of the Hamburger Spendenparlament help to distribute charitable donations fairly to a number of charities. The Bunter Kreis Duisburg e.V. helps to provide care and support to seriously ill children and their families.

As part of the planned closure of the TGB, we are closing our branch office in Andernach as of 31.12.2019.

Oliver Keip will continue working for the DTG.
His new telephone number is: +49 2 03 | 8 00 04-25
His mobile number, his fax number and his email address will remain the same.

Marion Marino is going into well-deserved retirement. We would like to express our thanks for her twenty-plus years of service and wish her all the best for the future.

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Monika Gruchala (39) as a full-time member of our accounts department as of 04.11.2019. She will look after all the office tasks involved with our accounts department and will also be responsible for supporting our members.

Monika Gruchala can be reached under:

We look forward to working well together.
