BEGEMANN’S MIETLIFT SAYS “THANKS YOU FOR THE<br />
BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP EXISTING FOR DECADES”<br />
The e-mail arrived in our anniversary<br />
mailbox with these words from<br />
the company Begemann’s Mielift.<br />
The business relationship between<br />
RUTHMANN and Begemann’s<br />
Mietlift began almost 40 years<br />
ago with the delivery of the first<br />
RUTHMANN GELENKSTEIGER ®<br />
GS 150. The 17 m high articulated<br />
STEIGER ® was popular in Leopoldshöhe<br />
and could be rented for 65<br />
German mark per hour.<br />
“And today it is still there”, says<br />
Klaus Tasche, Managing Director<br />
of Begemann’s Mietservice, “even<br />
though no longer in operation but<br />
in the Begemann’s Mietlift museum.<br />
Further STEIGER ® followed such<br />
as e.g. the first TU 680 which was<br />
added to the fleet in 1996.<br />
Today, the rental fleet of Begemann’s<br />
Mietlift comprises more<br />
than 600 machines including 16<br />
RUTHMANN STEIGER ® .<br />
We would also like to thank you<br />
for the continuing business relationship<br />
and look forward to many<br />
other successful operations of the<br />
RUTHMANN STEIGER ® .<br />
FROM CARPENTER TO THE LARGEST “EMPLOYER” IN GESCHER<br />
Now 87, Klaus Kreylkamp<br />
has worked at Ruthmann for<br />
around 40 years and has now<br />
been retired for 27 years. He<br />
started working in the carpentry<br />
workshop in 1952.<br />
At that time, RUTHMANN acquired<br />
a part of the actual property<br />
in Hochmoor in exchange for a<br />
Deutz tractor. In return, the animals<br />
of the previous owner were allowed<br />
to graze a part of this land.<br />
At that time, Klaus Kreylkamp built<br />
together with five other colleagues<br />
the fence for the animals. As a<br />
thank you, the men were given<br />
a bottle of schnapps - without<br />
glasses :)<br />
Klaus Kreylkamp<br />
is with his bee<br />
colonies one of<br />
the of the largest<br />
employers of<br />
Gescher<br />
Later Klaus Kreylkamp helped to<br />
build hall 1 on the property in<br />
Hochmoor which still stands today.<br />
So he is probably the only who is<br />
still alive today and has worked on<br />
it.<br />
Even then, bees were Klaus<br />
Kreylkamp’s great hobby. On the<br />
RUTHMANN grasslands, where<br />
he took them, they did not yield<br />
much but later all the more when<br />
travelling with the bee colonies all<br />
over Germany.<br />
Today, he still offers<br />
thousands of<br />
bees a safe workplace<br />
in Gescher<br />
and manages the<br />
bee museum on<br />
the Lindenstraße.<br />
