Werner Erhard: Life is a game

“Life is a game. In order to have a      game, something has to be more important than something else. If what  already is, is more important than what isn’t, the game is over. So, life is a game in which what isn’t, is more important than what is. Let the good times roll.”                —Werner Erhard.

Ever Wondered What AMG Stands For in a Mercedes-Benz? Here’s the Story Behind It

If you’ve ever looked closely at a high-performance Mercedes-Benz, you might have noticed the letters AMG on the model badge. But what does AMG actually stand for, and why is it such a big deal?

AMG stands for Aufrecht, Melcher, and Großaspach—the names of AMG’s founders, Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher, along with Aufrecht’s birthplace, Großaspach, Germany. The brand originated in 1967 when these two engineers, passionate about racing and performance tuning, left Mercedes-Benz to create their own company. Their goal? To design high-performance engines that could dominate the racing world.

1. What Makes AMG Special?

AMG is all about power, precision, and exclusivity. While regular Mercedes-Benz models are known for luxury and comfort, AMG takes things up a notch with finely tuned engines, advanced aerodynamics, and a unique approach to design. Every AMG engine is handcrafted by a single technician following the “one man, one engine” philosophy. This means that each engine carries a plaque signed by its builder—a detail that highlights the brand’s dedication to quality.

2. AMG’s Role in Mercedes-Benz Today

In 1999, AMG officially became a part of Mercedes-Benz, merging their expertise in high-performance vehicles with Mercedes-Benz’s luxury brand. This partnership allowed AMG to expand, bringing their expertise to a wider audience while maintaining the specialized tuning and racing-inspired performance that makes AMG models so desirable.

3. What to Expect from an AMG Vehicle

If you’re considering an AMG, expect a thrilling blend of speed and sophistication. AMG models are known for their powerful engines, enhanced handling, and signature design elements that set them apart from standard Mercedes models. These cars aren’t just vehicles—they’re crafted experiences meant for drivers who crave excitement and performance.

So, next time you see an AMG badge, you’ll know it represents more than just letters. It’s a symbol of engineering passion and a legacy of racing excellence. Have you driven an AMG or are you thinking about it? Let’s talk performance and speed!

AMG: três letras e 55 anos de performance exclusiva

Fundada em 1967 por Hans Werner Aufrecht e Erhard Melcher, a AMG celebra este ano o seu 55º aniversário. Mais de meio século a produzir alguns dos mais icónicos, inovadores e carismáticos desportivos da indústria automóvel, numa ligação umbilical ao universo Mercedes-Benz.

Colegas na divisão de motores de competição da Daimler-Benz, Hans-Werner Aufrecht e Erhard Melcher partilhavam a paixão pelo design e, acima de tudo, pela engenharia automóvel. Sempre que conseguiam, os dois engenheiros dedicavam-se a modificar modelos de Mercedes apenas por diversão. A sua primeira oficina rapidamente se transformou num "escritório de engenharia e centro de design e testes para o desenvolvimento de motores de corrida". Nesta pequena garagem em Burgstall, Alemanha, os dois começaram a construir motores de corrida inovadores e de alto desempenho. Esta é a origem do acrónimo AMG, que significa “Aufrecht, Melcher e Großaspach” (o local de nascimento de Aufrecht).

Em 1971, o AMG 300 SEL 6.8 (o célebre Red Pig) construído pela dupla alemã reclamou uma vitória completamente inesperada na sua classe e ficou em segundo lugar à geral nas míticas 24 horas de Spa-Francorchamps.

De Affalterbach para o mundo 

A empresa que estava originalmente sediada em Burgstall, mudou-se para Affalterbach em 1976. Durante as décadas de 1970 e 1980, a AMG ficou conhecida como o modificador proeminente dos automóveis Mercedes-Benz. A AMG acabou por crescer para além da pista de corridas e entrou no mercado mais vasto da personalização de automóveis de estrada da Mercedes-Benz. Os motores, os detalhes estéticos, os interiores exclusivos e o desempenho desportivo dos AMG acabaram por destacar-se no seio da marca. Com o tempo, o símbolo AMG plano e alongado na tampa da bagageira de vários modelos exclusivos rapidamente se tornou sinónimo de potência, prestígio e desempenho.

A AMG produziu inicialmente uma gama de modificações não oficiais e vários acessórios para os modelos Mercedes-Benz R107 e C107 (SL Roadster de 1971 a 1989), Mercedes-Benz W116 (Classe S de 1972 - 1980), Mercedes-Benz W123 (antecessor do Classe E de 1976 - 1985 classe), Mercedes-Benz W124 (Classe E de 1984-1997), Mercedes-Benz W126 (Classe S de 1979-1992), Mercedes-Benz R129 (SL de 1989-2001) e Mercedes-Benz W201 (Classe C 1990-1993).

Design marcante

Outros detalhes de cosmética populares eram os kits de carroçaria AMG. Estes variavam desde os subtis spoilers frontais até aos agressivos alargamentos da carroçaria. Outras opções incluíam os bancos Recaro, volantes de menor diâmetro, painéis de instrumentos específicos, jantes, etc... Em 1986, o lançamento do AMG Hammer, baseado no Classe E W124, deu origem à berlina de passageiros mais rápida do mundo na altura. Equipado com um motor V8 DOHC de 5,6 litros e 32 válvulas, o Hammer debitava 360 cv e, dizia-se na época, seria mais rápido a recuperar dos 100 km/h aos 200 km/h do que um Lamborghini Countach.

No início da década de 90, a AMG assinou um acordo oficial com a então Daimler-Benz AG. Além de tornar a AMG uma espécie de preparador oficial da Mercedes, permitiu à empresa de Affalterbach aceder à imensa rede de distribuição mundial da marca. Em 1993, este acordo deu frutos e surge o C36 AMG, o primeiro desportivo desenvolvido em conjunto. Baseado no Classe C W202, o C36 AMG estava equipado com um motor de seis cilindros com 280 cv de potência, suficientes para levar esta berlina “familiar” aos 250 km/h (limitados eletronicamente) e de 0 a 100 km/h em apenas 6,7 segundos.

Este acordo representou a integração gradual no grupo Daimler, que começou em 1999 e foi, finalmente, concluída em 2005. Daqui em diante, a denominada Mercedes-AMG tornou-se uma subsidiária da Daimler AG e, em 2009, nasce o SLS AMG, o primeiro superdesportivo a ser desenvolvido inteiramente pela empresa.

Em breve, publicaremos a segunda parte deste artigo sobre os 55 anos da AMG. Uma história de estrelas apaixonantes e exclusivas.

Mind Magic: The Neuroscience of Manifestation and How It Changes Everything Mind Magic: The Neuroscience of Manifestation and How It Changes Everything Contributor(s): Doty, James R (Author) Publisher: Avery Publishing Group ISBN: 0593541146 Physical Info: 1.08" H x 8.48" L x 5.85" W (0.9 lbs) 304 pages James R. Doty, MD, is an adjunct professor at Stanford University and the director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE). He serves on the board of a number of nonprofits and is the former chairman of the Dalai Lama Foundation. He is the host of the Into the Magic Shop podcast, which is also the title of his beloved and bestselling book. Review Quotes: "I encourage everyone to read the amazing new book by Dr. James Doty. Mind Magic reveals the power of self-agency to transform our good intentions into effective actions that will enhance your personal well-being and make our world a better place." --Phil Zimbardo, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling author of The Lucifer Effect and founder of the Heroic Imagination Project "In Mind Magic, noted Stanford scientist and physician James Doty shows us how to master our minds to find true fulfillment. This lucid and thought-provoking book challenges the way that you think about success, and can change your life." --Barnaby Marsh, Ph.D., Institute for Advanced Study and author of How Luck Happens: Using the Science of Luck to Transform Work, Love, and Life "Using his own experience and solid neuroscience, Dr. Doty outlines a way for anyone, regardless of circumstance, to improve their lives and manifest their dreams." --Werner Erhard, founder of EST & Landmark Forum "Stanford neurosurgeon and compassion scientist James Doty shares the underlying neuroscience of manifestation. Through six short exercises we are taught to focus our attention, gain clarity and commit to our intentions, allowing us to reach our highest aspirations...that is real magic." --Paul Gilbert, Ph.D., OBE, author of The Compassionate Mind and Living Like Crazy "Dr. Doty offers us insights into manifesting our dreams using neuroscience, insights gained from a challenging childhood, and the stories of many others. Mind Magic brings all of this knowledge together to create a transformative path to achieve one's goals." --Scott Kriens, Chairman of Juniper Networks and founder of 1440 Multiversity "The idea of manifestation for many seems impossible. Dr. Doty intertwines his own life experiences with an understanding of the neuroscience of manifestation and makes what seems impossible, possible. Mind Magic offers us a clear path to making our dreams a reality." --BJ Miller, M.D., author of A Beginner's Guide to the End "Our happiness in many ways is related to our ability to manifest. Stanford neurosurgeon and neuroscientist James Doty is an expert in meditation and mind training. He explains how intention is manifested in the brain and offers six steps each of us can use to create the life we want. Powerful and profound." --Arianna Huffington, author of Thrive and The Sleep Revolution, CEO of Thrive Global "Manifestation isn't just magic --it's real neuroscience. What James Doty shows us in this book will change everything you thought you knew about how to reach a goal, realize a dream, or make a wish come true." --Chip Conley, New York Times bestselling author of Emotional Equations and founder of the Modern Elder Academy " Mind Magic is a book we need now! Dr. James Doty offers powerful, neuroscience-based techniques for manifestation that can change our lives and change our world." --Marci Shimoff, New York Times bestselling author of Happy for No Reason "Dr. Doty is to be congratulated for offering a practical guide based in neuroscience on the mechanics of how personal reality is created in consciousness." --Deepak Chopra, M.D., New York Times bestselling author, wellbeing expert and humanitarian "I have to confess that before reading this deeply fascinating book, I had always consigned the concept of 'manifesting' to the realms of New Age nonsense, along with astrology, crystals and the like. James Doty, the renowned neuroscientist and brain surgeon, has made me think again. Indeed he has truly made me think. Mind Magic is a remarkable and superbly written adventure into the mind and its hidden secrets. It may not enable you to manifest a Ferrari, but it will set you on to the road to manifesting prizes of far greater worth." --Stephen Fry, actor and comedian " Mind Magic doesn't just explain the neuroscience of manifestation, but provides readers with actionable techniques and exercises to change their lives and the lives of everyone around them. An illuminating exploration of our unlimited potential." --Tan Chade-Meng, New York Times bestselling author of Search Inside Yourself "Mind Magic takes us on a journey from ancient spiritual technique to modern neuroscience. It provides an expanded understanding of our personal power, as well as practical tools for embracing it. Dr. Doty shares secrets of manifestation based on his own experience as well as his scientific knowledge. It is his heart as well as his intellect that permeate the page, leaving us with the "fierce belief in possibility" that's promised at the beginning of the book. This book is about the mind but it's also about magic...for in truly understanding one, we understand the other." --Marianne Williamson, author, speaker, humanitarian and presidential candidate "Brilliant, passionate, and effective, this could be the best guide ever written to making your dreams come true. Integrating brain science, wisdom traditions, and practical psychology, it brings readers along a proven, step-by-step path toward fulfilling their goals. Along the way, Dr. Doty is a kind and encouraging presence, sharing many inspiring examples of others who have faced challenges and still succeeded using the methods he describes. A beautiful gem of a book." --Rick Hanson, Ph.D., author of Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom "Dr. Doty's book, Mind Magic, has given us a concrete program, based on neuroscience, into how to manifest our intentions the right way, and by doing so, we are empowered to live a life of meaning and purpose." --Jon Hamm, actor " Mind Magic is another master work by Dr. Jim Doty. He clears up the misunderstandings and false promises of the "law of attraction" through his deep scholarship, knowledge of neuroscience, and by doing so restores the integrity of manifestation. A must read for those who want to change their lives." --Lynne Twist, author, global activist, and founder of the Soul of Money Institute and the Pachamama Alliance Publisher Marketing: A deep exploration of the neuroscience behind manifestation, with a six-part plan for realizing your dreams For decades the practice of manifestation has been widely dismissed as self-involved, materialistic pseudoscience. But as neuroscientist and recognized compassion leader Dr. James Doty reveals, manifestation introduces us to different possibilities, and it lays the groundwork for a kinder, better world. Doty grounds us in the practices that change our brain structures: attention, meditation, visualization, and compassion. This mind magic allows us to move through the world in ways that help us see clearly--reclaiming our agency, realizing our dreams, and reaching out to help others along the path. Where previous works about manifestation have focused narrowly on outward success and individual benefit, Mind Magic delivers an openhearted call to make manifestation part of a deeper contribution to healing the problems we face today.

‘Bhagwan, when you were talking about Werner Erhard, the businessman who discovered that personal growth sells better than encyclopedias, you said that the business of growth is just an American name for God. The San Francisco Examiner Chronicle, reporting this, noted that you did not comment on the personal growth marketing of your own Rajneesh International Meditation University here. What is the difference and what part does the university play in the life of the commune?’ The difference is great. He was a door-to-door salesman of encyclopedias. Our university is not going door-to-door to sell anything to anybody. Our university is a well. Those who are thirsty can come and drink out of it. It is available, but we are not persuading anybody. On the contrary, I am making every effort to offend them, to make them angry, become our enemies. Do you think this is business tactics? In business, the customer is always right. Here the situation is totally different: the customer is always wrong. From whatsoever source he comes, he is always wrong—and he comes on his own, in spite of all that I go on doing continuously to prevent him from coming. Nobody in the whole world has offended so many people as I alone have done, singlehandedly. But even after all this turmoil that I create, and offensiveness and antagonism in their minds, a few daring people come. These people can be relied upon. Just their coming is significant. Certainly, my university is not part of the marketplace. Werner Erhard was part of the market world. He was taking his EST from one hotel to another hotel around the country, then outside the country. And he was neither a philosophical man, nor religious; he had registered EST as a corporation, a business corporation. He was paying income tax for all his incomes. Our university is not a business. We don’t have to pay any taxes for the university. The degrees that our university gives are of no use in the marketplace, because we don’t want our degrees to be recognized by any government or by any university or any other institution. We refuse to be recognized by them, because just the fact that we let them recognize us means they are somebody higher than us, somebody more authoritative. We don’t accept any government’s recognition, because no government is worthy of it. Our university is absolutely a free phenomenon. Those who want to come, come knowing that whatever we have to offer is of no use in the marketplace. In fact it may make their market world more difficult for them, because a person who comes here for three months or four months to do a course in the university… we are not giving him growth the way Werner Erhard was giving. He started from where you are. Our work is first to destroy whosoever you are—whosoever, without any condition. We destroy you first, dismantle you first, and unless we have deprogrammed you completely there is no growth possible. We don’t teach you any growth. To be deprogrammed… you start growing on your own accord. Werner Erhard was teaching you techniques of growth, but if you are a monster and you are being taught techniques of growth, you will become a bigger monster. Werner Erhard never offended anybody. That’s simply the way of the businessman: never offend anybody. Everybody was happy with him. The government was happy, the churches were happy, the politicians were happy—not only in this country, but in other countries too. He used to go to India to pay respect to the so-called Hindu mahatmas. Muktananda was his guru. He even went to pay his respects to Morarji Desai, when he was the prime minister of India. And by mistake he even came to me, thinking I also belong to the same category of mahatmas that he has known all his life. He must have been shocked. When he was sitting in front of me, I could see how difficult it was for him just to sit there. And when I told him he can ask anything, he simply said, ‘No, I don’t have any questions.’ Laxmi had given him my latest books, just as a present. He went into the hotel—which was not far away, just a few minutes walk—and gave those books to one sannyasin, Hridaya, without even looking at them. Some great fear must have arisen in him. Reading those books might disturb his mind. And certainly I was not the person that he had expected. I would have destroyed his whole EST first. I have to begin from scratch. First I have to demolish the old building completely, I don’t believe in renovation. Howsoever beautifully you renovate a building, it still remains the old rotten thing; just painted here and there, a little bit supported, but it is just the old rotten building that you have given a facelift. No, it is better to live in an A-frame, but new, fresh, young. Werner Erhard is a businessman, there are no two opinions about it. And nobody can compare me with Werner Erhard. Our whole approach is totally different. Our approach is first to deprogram the person completely, and then leave him alone to himself. Don’t give him another program. Leave him alone, empty, just a pure nothingness. And out of that nothingness grows everything that existence wanted to grow in that man. We bring the person close to existence, from where he has been taken away. Once we see that you are communing with existence, our work is finished. We don’t give you growth, we simply take away all nonsense that is surrounding you and which perhaps you think is growth. Growth comes of its own accord, you just have to be utterly open and vulnerable. I am not a businessman. I could have been and then I would have defeated all the businessmen in the whole world. But I have chosen to offend everybody, ready for their hostility from every nook and corner of the world. A businessman tries to be respectable, and I have been trying my whole life to be notorious. Unless you understand me, you will not be able to see why I unnecessarily create hostility in people. I am not a businessman. I have nothing to sell to them. If they are courageous enough to come nearer to me, I am going to burn their whole personality. I’m going to take their whole skin off their body and then leave them alone so they can grow fresh from the very beginning. That growth will not be in any way a credit to me. That growth will be a credit to the person who dared to come, who dared to pass through the fire, who dared to risk his whole life. The whole credit goes to him.

2024 November 29. és december 1. között Bad Salzuflent ismét az európai custom motorkerékpáros szcéna uralta. Több mint 21 000 látogató özönlött a kelet-vesztfáliai városba, hogy nehogy lemaradjon a kontinens legnagyobb átalakított motorkerékpár-vásáráról. Három kiállítóteremmel, több mint 23 000 négyzetméternyi kiállítási területtel, mintegy 186 nemzetközi kiállítóval és 252 látványos custom motorral Európa minden tájáról a CUSTOMBIKE show ismét mércét állított fel. Először rendeztek Bad Salzuflenben moped-építőversenyt. A vásár két napja alatt a Töffliheizer Ostfriesland és a V.E.B.-Design csapat izgalmas párharcot vívott egymással, amelyet a V.E.B-Design csapat egy drámai finálé után az "Interflug Schwalbe"-val szűken megnyert, és így a "Német Räng-Däng-DängBuild-Offok" első győzteseként vonult be a vásár történelemkönyvébe. A dolgok sokkal nagyobb méreteket öltöttek az European Biker Build-Off-on, ahol két egyedi motorkerékpárt építettek a közönség előtt egy nagy show-színpadon: Idén a németországi USM Motorcycles és a lengyel Vhard Motorworks csapatai vettek részt a vásár három napja alatt izgalmas csavarhúzó párbajban. Míg az USM egy új Indian Sport Scoutra épülő arany-piros versenymotort készített, addig a lengyel csapat egy igazán szép, régi vágású, matt fekete vonalvezetésű, valódi aranyszínű részletekkel díszített Harley-Davidson Softail-t választott. 48 szavazattal, nagyon szűk többséggel végül az USM nyerte meg a párbajt. A címet tehát immár harmadik éve egy Indianra épülő átalakítás nyerte! De még mindig nem voltak szomorú arcok Lengyelországban. A három nap alatt a csapatok összebarátkoztak, a tisztelet kölcsönös volt, egy olyan barátság kezdete a sok közül, amelyek ezen a kiállításon gyakran kezdődnek. A Custombike Európa-bajnokság döntője sem volt kevésbé izgalmas. Az Európa-bajnokság összdíjazása 12 000 euró, amelyből ötezer eurót a kiállítás legjobb motorja kap. Az Európa-bajnoki cím idén Angliába került. Vic Jefford és felesége, Lin nyerte meg a címet a zseniális "Platinum"-jukkal. Alig van olyan része a motorkerékpárnak, amely ne saját készítésű lenne, és olyan technikai finomságokkal nyűgöz le, mint a hátsó kerékagydobba épített akkumulátorok. A motorbemutató többi résztvevője és a customizerek is egyetértettek abban, hogy a házilag épített Harley V2-es teljesen megérdemelt győzelmet aratott. A CUSTOMBIKE kiállításon számos más kiemelkedő esemény is volt. A CUSTOMBIKE szavazás keretében megrendezett verseny szerencsés fődíjasa egy átalakított Royal Enfield Interceptort vehetett át. A nagyszínpadon rengeteg szívmelengető dolog történt. Három jótékonysági projekt gondoskodott érzelmes pillanatokról. Többek között Meik Reker patchwork kerékpárját mutatták be. Számos rajongó és cég adományozott alkatrészeket a Honda Shadowhoz, és a szerkezetet élőben sorsolták ki a vásáron 700 sorsjegyet vásárló között. A befolyt összeget a rákos gyermekek számára ajánlották fel. Hasonló célokat követett a Suzuki LS 650 alapjaira épített Starbridge bobber megépítése is. A "Hamburger Horda" által épített motorkerékpárt elárverezték, a 10 050 eurós bevételt a CUSTOMBIKE kiállításon a hamburgi Sternenbrücke-nek adták át. A "Fukker 2.0 projekt" építői is csatlakoztak a jócselekedetekhez. Nemcsak az ő rózsaszín Honda Bosozoku konstrukciójuk volt az egyik legtöbbet fotózott motorkerékpár a kiállításon, de a Honda eladásából származó bevételt is felajánlják. A kísérőprogramot széleskörű bemutatók egészítették ki, mint például a Wall of Death merész ördöglovaglás a meredek falon, ahol Jagath Perera és csapata lélegzetelállító produkciókkal kápráztatta el a közönséget. A vásár titkos sztárja azonban a 92 éves Schwalbe tervező, Erhard Werner volt. A "60 Years of Simson Schwalbe" című különleges kiállítás részeként anekdotákat osztott meg és számos autogramkérést teljesített. E kiemelt események mellett változatos színpadi programot is kínáltak: Jimmy Cornett lenyűgözött gitáron, a FUEL GIRLS lenyűgözött látványos tűzshow-jával, és a Kawasaki, a Custom Chrome Europe és a Thunderbike új átalakításai is felkeltették a figyelmet. A programot lenyűgöző karosszériafestési show, a berlini Clubstyle Culture bemutatója és izgalmas napi nyereményjátékok egészítették ki. Így már most várhatod a jövő évet, amikor a CUSTOMBIKE show a 20. évfordulóját ünnepli. A legjobb, ha már most bejegyzed a 2025-ös Custonbike Show dátumát a naptárba: 2025 november 28-30.

L'ARTE DEL MONDO

ANTON ZIMMERMANN: SIMPHONIES VOL. 2

Tras recibir grandes elogios, el conjunto l'arte del mondo vuelve con su segunda grabación de sinfonías cuidadas y cautivadoras de Anton Zimmermann. Disponible en formato digital el 27 de septiembre.

Anton Zimmermann, nacido en Breitnau (actual República Checa), recibió su educación musical en su región natal y llegó a Pressburg a principios de la década de 1770. Al principio trabajó sin un puesto fijo antes de convertirse en compositor de la corte del príncipe Batthyany en 1776. Sus obras más famosas incluyen las sinfonías en re mayor, do mayor y fa mayor, así como sus cuartetos de cuerda en do mayor, fa mayor y sol mayor. Se presentaron en actos de alto nivel en Pressburg. La diversa instrumentación de sus obras demuestra el alto nivel de las orquestas de la época y la influencia de destacados músicos en sus composiciones. Murió el 16 de octubre de 1781 en Bratislava.

Para el primer álbum con grabaciones de obras de Anton Zimmermann, el conjunto L'arte del mondo y el director Werner Ehrhardt recibieron grandes elogios. "Pocas veces esperas con tantas ganas el siguiente CD después de escuchar el primero como con esta grabación de las tres sinfonías de Anton Zimmermann. Werner Ehrhardt y su conjunto L'arte del mondo han hecho un trabajo excelente, no solo desde el punto de vista interpretativo, sino también musical y editorial: ¡más de esto, por favor!", escribió NDR Kultur.

Con "Anton Zimmermann - Sinfonías Vol. 2", el conjunto y el director Werner Ehrhardt continúan reviviendo la notable pero infravalorada obra de Anton Zimmermann. Esta grabación profundiza en el inventivo estilo sinfónico del compositor con las cuidadosamente seleccionadas Sinfonías en si bemol mayor, mi menor y re mayor, cada una de las cuales ejemplifica la capacidad única de Zimmermann para mezclar melodías líricas con intrincados contrapuntos.

Alabado por su meticulosa atención a las prácticas interpretativas históricas, l'arte del mondo aporta una visión fresca y una energía vibrante a estas obras, mostrando la magistral orquestación y el rico lenguaje armónico de Zimmermann.

El conjunto l'arte del mondo, fundado en 2004 por el director artístico Werner Ehrhardt, está especializado en música antigua con instrumentos históricos, pero también toca instrumentos modernos y música contemporánea. Conocido por sus programas únicos, que incluyen encuentros musicales interculturales, proyectos de ópera y redescubrimiento de obras olvidadas, el conjunto colabora habitualmente con solistas de renombre. Muchas de sus treinta grabaciones en CD han recibido premios. El trabajo de L'arte del mondo tiene sus raíces en la práctica interpretativa histórica y presenta programas innovadores que van más allá de las escenas de concierto tradicionales. Entre las colaboraciones con solistas famosos se incluyen Daniel Hope, Nils Mönkemeyer, Daniel Müller-Schott, Dorothee Oberlinger, Avi Avital y Xavier de Maistre.

Desde la temporada 2010/11, las grabaciones de l'arte del mondo han sido publicadas por Sony Music/Deutsche Harmonia Mundi con sensacionales primeras grabaciones mundiales, como "La finta giardiniera" de Pasquale Anfossi, la cantata fúnebre de Joseph Martin Kraus con el Coro de Cámara RIAS, y "La Clemenza di Tito" de Christoph Willibald Gluck, que ganó el Diapasón de Oro en 2014. En 2018, estrenaron mundialmente tres sinfonías de Anton Zimmermann, que recibieron grandes elogios de la prensa.

El director y violinista Werner Erhard fundó el conjunto y lo ha llevado al reconocimiento internacional. Su profunda musicalidad y su enfoque innovador garantizan experiencias de concierto memorables y grabaciones muy elogiadas.

Erhard Wienkamp: Messe Düsseldorf operative managing director to retire

Erhard Wienkamp has worked in various functions at Messe Düsseldorf since 1993. After holding positions in the foreign trade department of the Federation of German Wholesale and Foreign Trade in Bonn and the German-Argentinean Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Buenos Aires, he took over the project management of the Papro, K and interpack trade shows at the beginning of his trade show career.

Since 2002, the economics graduate has been responsible for Messe Düsseldorf’s international trade show business as divisional manager and authorized signatory. In this role, he was also responsible for partner and guest events, official participations such as the joint exhibition booths of the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, special events, and the management of Messe Düsseldorf’s international shows.

Erhard Wienkamp succeeded Hans Werner Reinhard as operative managing director in January 2020. In this role, he was responsible for the Plastics & Rubber portfolio with the leading global trade show K and nine trade shows abroad; the Health & Medical Technologies portfolio (Medica, Compamed, Rehacare and nine trade shows abroad); the Caravaning & Outdoor portfolio (Caravan Salon Dusseldorf and All in Caravaning in Beijing); the Wine & Spirits portfolio (ProWein and six trade shows abroad); and the Print Technologies portfolio (drupa, Print & Digital Convention and four trade shows abroad). He was also responsible for the areas Retail & Retail Technologies (EuroShop and EuroCIS in Düsseldorf, China in-store in Shanghai and in-store asia in Mumbai); Occupational Safety & Health (A+A and five trade shows abroad); Glass Technologies (glasstec and three trade shows abroad); and Beauty (Beauty Dusseldorf, Top Hair). Moreover, he led the corporate social responsibility unit and two of the three sales teams at Messe Düsseldorf. Erhard Wienkamp was also in charge of international participations and services; special events, which includes the German Houses at the Olympic and Paralympic Games; conference management; and the international business department.

Dr. Stephan Keller, lord mayor of the state capital Düsseldorf and chairman of the Supervisory Board of Messe Düsseldorf, is grateful for Erhard Wienkamp, “The trade shows that Erhard Wienkamp is responsible for are heavyweights in their industry, bringing people from all over the world to Düsseldorf year after year and not only enriching the international flair of our city but also promoting the regional economy.” The 78% of the 24,469 exhibiting companies in Düsseldorf in 2023 hailing from abroad meant the highest level of internationality among exhibitors ever (previous year: 75%), and with 39% of the 1,074,870 attendees coming from outside Germany, the share of international visitors was the second highest to date (previous year: 46%). 

The global presence of Messe Düsseldorf, which Erhard Wienkamp had helped to promote, contributed greatly to these results, says Dr. Keller. The foreign trade shows and joint booths organized internationally by Messe Düsseldorf serve as powerful showpieces for Düsseldorf as a trade show and business location. Messe Düsseldorf’s portfolio now includes 73 events abroad, plus 25 trade shows at the home base.

Wolfram N Diener, president & CEO of Messe Düsseldorf, emphasized Erhard Wienkamp’ s immense contribution to the company’s success, “Erhard Wienkamp didn’t wait for the world to come to Düsseldorf, he went out into the world and carried the reputation of Messe Düsseldorf and the entire city to other countries and continents. His work has shaped the company like no one else’s.”

As of August 1, the 66-year-old will be succeeded in his function as operative managing director by Marius Berlemann. Having worked at Messe Düsseldorf for 13 years, the 38-year-old Berlemann most recently served as General Manager of Messe Düsseldorf Shanghai and managing director of Messe Düsseldorf China.

Erhard Wienkamp looks back on his time at Messe Düsseldorf with pride and gratitude, “It’s been an honor to be part of such a dynamic and dedicated team, one that has always strived to set the highest standards in the trade show industry. I’m confident that my successor, with his extensive experience and commitment, will continue to propel Messe Düsseldorf forward. I wish him and the entire team nothing but success for the future.”
