On the 1st of May, the foundation meeting of the initiative Zukunft in Brand was held in the inn "Zur Gruenen Linde" in Briesen. Nine foundation members from all over Germany came together to convert the loose joining of some shareholders into a registered society with legal capacity. This enables us to hire a lawyer to examine inconsistencies in the running CargoLifter AG insolvency proceedings.
