Entrepreneur Sebastian Frenkel stands in the yard of a building materials dealer in Potsdam and coordinates the loading of building dryers. These are the final preparations before the trip to the Eifel. Frenkel actually runs an advertising agency. But as a long-time fan of the Eifel region in western Germany, the images from the flood areas moved him so much that he spontaneously launched a fundraising campaign. O-TON BUSINESSMAN SEBASTIAN FRENKEL, INITIATOR OF POTSDAM HELPS THE EIFEL “What is missing there, that is the currency, electricity and drying devices for the houses that can still be saved and many other friendly companies or many private individuals have found themselves and then we set up PayPal and then it started. Monday morning the newspapers came out and then it already made Pling on the cell phone at 9:30 am The first donation was Frieda 6 years old, one Euro 35, her pocket money. And then it really grabbed me. It made a big impression on me. But even more so the pictures. And then a real wave started, yes. ” And there have already been numerous other donations. But not every gift makes sense, as Frenkel emphasized on Friday in Potsdam: O-TON BUSINESSMAN SEBASTIAN FRENKEL, INITIATOR OF POTSDAM HELPS THE EIFEL “My appeal to others, inquires about what is really needed on site – that this is unrepentant effort That it doesn’t fizzle out somehow or something, but rather tries to find out what, where is the problem? Where can you help and support? And then you have to invest yourself. You have to throw things into your hat yourself and do something else it then after and then it will. ” The journey continues in the direction of the Nürburgring. And from there, the donations and devices are to be distributed to three affected locations.
