Mourning<\/h1>

We were saddened to learn of the death of Hans-J\u00fcrgen Wischhof, member number 1 of the Unimog Club Gaggenau and committed supporter of the Unimog Museum. His contribution to the community and his passion for the Unimog will be remembered by us all. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time. We will continue to honor his legacy and appreciate his impact on the club and the museum.<\/p>

The funeral service will take place on Monday, March 17, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. in the Evangelical Lutheran Johanniskirche in 76530 Baden-Baden, Gausplatz\/Bertholdstra\u00dfe 5.<\/p>

It is important to note that this must also be downloaded again each year in digital form so that it remains up to date. The validity always ends on December 31 and can be extended independently by you in just a few seconds. Reminder: It is best to repeat the process in January if you have already created the Club Card this year. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Task Force<\/h2>

On the initiative of Rainer Hildebrandt, the Unimog Club Gaggenau and Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks have founded a task force. The aim: to be able to provide assistance in emergency situations throughout Europe within a few days using specially equipped vehicles. Following the appeal in the last newsletter, 80 volunteers came forward and have already been “trained” over two days in the gravel pit.<\/p>

Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks provided the Unimog and Actros as well as the site. The Unimog Club organized instructors (driving instructors) who gave driving lessons to the volunteers. Karl Leib was also on hand to provide explanations about the vehicle’s technology and Rainer Hildebrandt and Michael Steinbock presented the concept and showed how things will continue.<\/p> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n
