Dear customers and concerned fellow citizens,

In the last few days we have received many emails from you about operations in the Hambacher Forest.

We would like to emphasize once again that we only rented the equipment and that we were not informed in any way in advance by our customer (our customer is NOT the police) about what he would be using the work platforms for."

It is also stated that the Gerken company, whose equipment is used for the clearances in the Hambacher Forest, will shut it down, even though they are legally not allowed to do this and therefore have to expect high recourse claims.

Because of that screenshot, we received a lot of inquiries as to whether this was true, as it seemed impossible to imagine that a company would simply pass up such a large order.

This screenshot is real !

The above statement is available to everyone on the Gerken company homepage

Pro tip searching for the homepage yourself and looking there 😉
