Uwe Gemballa Reported Missing
#82
In on the first page. You have to look at it like this, he is being held and will be released when exchanged for something that is replaceable.

Hello you guys,
my name is Marcel I'm from Germany and I just registered here on teamspeed as I was very pleased to see that there is at least one automobile forum on the internet that treats such a horrible situation with dignity. Thank you for that.
I wasn't friends with Uwe Gemballa but I talked to him once and he seemed to be a really nice guy hard working for what he achieved.
I worked at Gemballa for some weeks in 2008 and 2009 in the holidays and I was very proud to be a part of the factory. I really hope he returns home safely as fast as possible.
I just want to post this picture I drew for Gemballa I hope you like it. It always remembers me of him, let's all hope for his best.

Welcome to Teamspeed. I only wish that you came here under better circumstances. Thanks to both you and Galadari for the updates; our hearts and prayers are with Uwe and his family.
On another, lighter note, beautiful artwork.

Thanks for all the commendation for my artwork
I was planning to go to the factory the next days, but then I saw a post on **********.com (another forum I am registered on) and a legitimate user wrote this:
He posted it yesterday at 3pm
I will try to translate it for you:
So it seems like everything is clear. Unfortunately Gemballa is kidnapped, but I think and I hope they will release him.
And the factory does the only right thing: Continuing to work as usual.

Zitat:
"Gemballa closed by German authorities?"
Wir waren eben mal bei Gemballa in Leonberg (ist ja praktisch vor der Haustüre) und hatten ein kurzes Gespräch mit einem Mitarbeiter im Ausstellungsraum.
Dort läuft alles seinen gewohnten Gang, keine Spur von hektischem Treiben oder Unruhe.
Sorry, aber Zeitungsberichten von "Bild" oder vegleichbaren Boulevardblätter, oder reißerische Überschriften auf webpages schenke ich keinen Glauben!

We've just been at the Gemballa factory in Leonberg (It's almost in front of our house) and had a quick talk with one of the employees in the showroom.
Everything is as usual there, not a bit of hecticness or agitation.
Sorry, but I just don't trust in newspapers like "Bild" (The Penny Press that first published the article about Gemballas missing) or in lurid headlines on webpages.
