In order to be able to modernize the old packing plant for hydrated lime as desired, the scope of delivery needed to be clarified on site. The contract negotiations were then set to take place at Pragoinvest in Prague.
It took some time to determine the exact scope of delivery – giving the two men from Oelde ample opportunity to discover the beautiful landscape in the Tatra Mountains. We spent the night in a kind of alpine hut, which was used as a guest house by the lime works under the name “Solianka”. As the two HAVER employees were sitting there with their contacts, the landlord suddenly came to their table very excitedly and pointed to his TV with the words “Come and have a quick look. Amerikansky are ‘hopping’ on the moon.”
For Wolfgang Haschke, these droll words are forever associated with the images of the moon landing.
