A few years ago, Hartmut Mehdorn provided material for a story that is too good and could still be true. In the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” you could read about a dialogue in the ICE between Hanover and Munich, which just had to stop unscheduled. According to one of the angry passengers, it was no wonder, because the boss of the German railways is half Bulgarian, and in Bulgaria the trains are known for legendary delays. The initial irritation of the passengers cleared up quickly. At that time, Mehdorn was very often present in the radio news because of the planned IPO of the rail company. And “Bahnchef Mehdorn” had always sounded like “Pantchev-Mehdorn” to the radio listener on the train. If you use your imagination, you can definitely hear a double name from this and with even more imagination you can even deduce a semi-Bulgarian origin.
History shows: The Bahn bosses move the media and all of Germany. They are better known than any other manager in the country, they are on a par with the Chancellor and the national soccer coach – especially in the sense that everyone thinks they know how to do it better. And when it comes to Deutsche Bahn, everyone agrees that it should be done better. For 30 years.
