Germany online dating just got a facelift

Germany online dating just got a facelift

March 4, 2025 • 12:00 AM

The Germany online dating scene is woefully lacking in two main areas - price and flexibility. German professionals, as well as the large number of foreign professionals moving to Germany, find they are being stung by the country's inadequate consumer protection laws, when related to online dating portals. Many are finding themselves locked into contracts they did not realise they had to cancel during a tight window of opportunity - a very ruthless strategy employed by many companies here. This...

BR Volleys shorten final series

March 4, 2025 • 12:00 AM

The contrast between Cédric Énard and Mark Lebedev could not have been greater on Saturday evening. At the third final match in the Max-Schmeling-Halle, Énard, coach of the BR Volleys, already looked tense before the start of the match and repeatedly consulted his co-trainer during the duel. Lebedev from VfB Friedrichshafen, on the other hand, looked relaxed, grinned from time to time and didn't seem to let anything upset him. No wonder: After two defeats in the "best-of-five" series, Énard...

March 4, 2025 • 12:00 AM

The German U-21 national team fulfilled a dream in Ljubljana on Sunday evening that not even its notoriously optimistic coach Stefan Kuntz believed in a few months ago. But when it came down to it at the European Championship finals in Hungary and Slovenia, the best junior selection of the German Football Association (DFB), which has improved from game to game, as it always has since Stefan Kuntz has been its head coach, captured the hearts of German soccer fans who have not been spoiled by the...

March 4, 2025 • 12:00 AM

Their domination of last years Champions League speaks volumes about the club's form and sportsbooks have listed the team as favourites to win the competition once again.

Is Bayern Munich's run the greatest in sports history?

March 4, 2025 • 12:00 AM

To say Bayern Munich's current run in the Bundesliga is nothing short of historic would be an understatement. Twenty matches into the 2020-21 season - Bayern Munich holds a seven-point lead over RB Leipzig for the top spot on the table. The best sports betting sites love Bayern Munich to repeat as champion - and if they do, they will have won nine consecutive Bundesliga titles. The run over the last decade is so impressive we can start to argue it is one of the greatest in the history of...

March 4, 2025 • 12:00 AM

Due to the lockdown,Hellabrunn Zoo's financial woes keep growing. As long as the zoo is closed and no visitors are able to come, it clearly has lost most of its revenue. The zoo is now requesting the city help out balance the books. At its next meeting, on Wednesday, 27th January, the city council will decide on financial support of around 4.8 million euros. That sounds like a lot of money, says SPD city councillor Roland Hefter. "But our zoo is worth it." It has an important educational...
