about us

Something has flowered for us

In our day-to-day work, the topic of corporate culture is always on our minds. In relation to our customers, but we also want to nurture and cultivate our own. That's why we went to Mannheim on a wonderful, warm fall day to visit the Federal Garden Show.

Sun-drenched and dazzled, the smiling b*k team looks forward to a glorious fall day.

In our luggage we had a good mood, great curiosity and almost all of our colleagues who work for and with us to ensure that the b*k plant always thrives. After a completely trouble-free train journey, we arrived at the former Spinelli military site in the north-east of Mannheim. There we were met by the best BUGA guide we could have wished for and shown around the grounds.

Erfrischendes und wohlriechendes Bunt säumte die Wege. Für manch einen von uns immer wieder ein Anlass stehen zu bleiben, zu schnuppern, manchmal auch zu probieren - kurz: die blühende Pracht vollen Zügen zu genießen.

While some listened attentively to her explanations, others kept disappearing into flower fields or exhibition rooms, sticking their noses delightfully into the fragrant plants. We all admired the beauty of the flowers and the diversity of ideas in the design of the area.

Heike was shining brightly in the sun - here in front of the observation tower on the BUGA grounds, from which a wonderful panoramic view opened up.

After a snack, the cable car built especially for the BUGA transported us to Luisenpark. Past old giant trees, lush green lawns and the largest original Chinese teahouse in Europe, we ended our excursion by walking through the city to the Rheinterrassen. Finally, we rounded off the day with cool drinks and good food at the Gasthaus am Fluss (highly recommended!) before taking the train back to Stuttgart.

Rainer was also in good spirits, even though we stood in the queue for the cable car for a while.

It may not sound all that spectacular, but we took a lot away with us: We don't need a lot of chichi to exchange ideas with each other. We are happy about the good interaction between the different personalities in our team.

But it was worth it, because the cabins that transported us to Luisenpark gave us a whole new perspective on the BUGA, Mannheim and the surrounding area.

We enjoy exploring together. And it was good for us to discover new things and meet each other in a relaxed way in a different setting. We'll definitely do it again next year. Let's see where we go then.

Personality, charm and brains: She was a little wistful, our fantastic BUGA guide (far left), because after more than six months we were the last group she led through the terrain.
