3C-Carbon Group AG has been a sponsor right from the start. Since the founding of the social institution in 2006, the company has supported the multi-generation house in Landsberg with financial donations. This year, there was once again a cheque for 15,000 euros that Karsten Jerschke symbolically signed and presented. This is money that is given gladly and invested sensibly, as he emphasises. “They are doing a brilliant job in the multi-generation house. Our contribution is going to the right place,” said Jerschke when presenting the cheque.

About the multi-generation house

The multi-generation house in Landsberg, which is supported by the Arbeiter-Wohlfahrt (AWO) social welfare organisation, provides more than 30 projects for citizens of all ages under one roof. The house’s broad scope includes the following: senior citizens assist with the reading of primary school children as reading mentors, and there are also homework supervision, language mentors, a babysitting placement service, a multi-generation choir, support for senior citizens from IKG secondary school students and much more. In addition to full-time management by Margit Däubler and Anke Wilk, it is mainly the commitment of around 150 voluntary workers as well as donations and subsidies that are the basis for the generation-connecting social work. “We want to give people meaningful tasks that promote the integration of all fringe groups and increase understanding and solidarity generally,” said Ms Däubler.

Current topic: press rides

The press visited the INTERMOT starting on Tuesday, and of course a number of editors and media representatives also visited the HOREX stand. The highlight was definitely the inspiring press conference held for the world première of the new HOREX VR6 HL models. One of the frequently asked questions was when the first test rides would take place. Our answer: in the next two or three weeks, the first intensive test rides will start taking place with representatives from various specialist journals.

Road show in the spring

It is well known that the series production of our VR6 models has begun, and not only the professional journalists want a test ride. Many motorcycle enthusiasts do as well. For everybody who has ever wanted to ride a HOREX themselves, there will be a special opportunity to “experience” the HOREX fascination in the spring of 2017. During an exclusive road show at several unusual locations in Germany, we will not only be showing the current models but also giving people the chance to take a test ride and much more. Information about the exact locations and times will be published on our website and in this newsletter in good time.

The youngest hit from the Bavarian motorcycle manufacturer can be admired in trade fair hall 7. The Power Cruiser impresses both as a two-seater “Classic” as well as a sporty “Café Racer” in an outfit that is sure to gain attention not only among the older HOREX fans and traditionalists. “With the paintwork in the classic design, we are establishing our reminiscence of the “Regina” as a globally outstanding motorcycle of the 1950s”, says HOREX Managing Director Karsten Jerschke. In line with the historic role model, the “HL” special model is being kept in the chrome look with the colours red and black, the rims are also getting red colour applications. The highest quality paintwork components developed exclusively according to HOREX design specifications will also be used – like in the other series models and special editions.

In the meantime, the production of the start-up series has begun in the HOREX manufacture in Landsberg am Lech; a growing team of specialists is passionately and meticulously taking care of the assembly of the premium bikes, now including the new “HL” equipment variation in the approximated “Regina” look. However, that’s solely the “Retro” outfit, otherwise each HOREX motorcycle is produced according to the highest quality standards and with extraordinarily significant and technically outstanding components. In addition, numerous specially developed light-construction parts from the HOREX parent company 3C-Carbon AG will be used.

This represents an acknowledgement of its roots by the major German motorcycle brand: The last few months have seen the emergence of a prestigious new building on the former HOREX production site. On 300 square metre of floor space of this new building it will now be possible to get to know the six-cylinder series production models close up. This close contact with the lengthy history of the brand is not just reflected in the address of the new store (Horexstraße 3), but also in the immediate proximity of the HOREX Museum on the opposite side of the road.

The store will open for the first time on Saturday, August 27, 2016 at 1:30 pm. The whole HOREX team is pleased to be able to welcome all prospective customers and friends of the brand in the new premises. Also managing director Karsten Jerschke and HOREX development team members will be in the store.

The role of the flagship store includes that of a showroom for the HOREX VR6 Classic and Café Racer series production models. Friends of the brand and potential buyers can gain an immediate impression of the elegance, individuality and sophisticated looks of the bikes, which are unparalleled in terms of quality and aspiration. The extraordinarily strenuous efforts made at HOREX for this high-end power cruiser are also reflected in the revised and updated new edition of the standard work, “The big Horex book”, which will be presented there to the public for the first time.

Another première in Bad Homburg will see first appearance of “Edition #1” of the HOREX Casual Collection.

Opening hours until December 2016: Friday, midday to 8 p.m., Saturday,10 a.m.to 6 p.m.

The 23-year-old’s return marks the homecoming of one of the biggest talents that the district of Landsberg has produced in recent years. Jais – born in Landsberg in 1993 – passed through all of the TSV 1860 Munich youth teams and played in the Lions Regionalliga (Regional League) team for three years. He was also nominated for the Munich senior squad twice.

In 2014, Jais moved to Wacker Burghausen and most recently he played in attack for TSV Steinbach in the Regionalliga Südwest (Regional League Southwest). Despite his young age, this takes the striker to a total of 125 Regionalliga games (23 goals) already, as well as two U19 internationals.

Those responsible for the football department have been in regular contact with Daniel Jais and his father Roland for a long time. This allowed them to register an early interest when it became clear that the striker would terminate his contract with the team from Steinbach, Hesse, for sporting and personal reasons, and wanted to head home.

Jais, who rejected several offers from other clubs, is being hired as a contract amateur at TSV Landsberg. "We are delighted to bring such a high-profile player to Landsberg, Daniel will certainly provide the required boost to our attack. Without the extensive extra support from our main sponsor 3C, this commitment would not have been possible," says Hanns Haedenkamp, Principle Chairman of TSV Landsberg. 3C Managing Director, Karsten Jerschke, sees the cooperation in the transfer of Daniel Jais as a further step in the direction of a promising partnership between team and sponsor. "We had announced our intention to breathe life into our contract. Now we can put this pledge into action without delay."
