On Carnival Monday will drive the tractors that pull the carriages, with crape. In order to greet the car maker for the last time its the age of 73 years died foreman Teobert Kuhs. What in the past 22 years came in colors, shapes and figures with the Carnival to roll, wearing his signature.
"You can get involved and realize things that you might otherwise never realize," he said to me eleven years ago. At that time I wrote for the NRZ my first report about the crazy car maker. "I just take time with," I had Kuhs said at a carnival event. And suddenly I was standing in a dark factory building of the Mannesmann Tube Works, where it was cold and wet. It seemed to me like a dark hole. But Kuhs said only: "It's always nice shady." This was typical of his self-irony humor.

The car maker took the life with a mixture of realism and foolish serenity. I remember a terrible rainy Carnival, which I witnessed on a cart by Kuhs Mölm Boowenaan. Their faces were as bleak as the weather. But Kuhs said only: "It's just water. It saves you a shower. Be glad it does not snow and cold. "When he has drawn from his serious illness, in 2010 the shell of the new Wagenbauhalle visited in port, he stifled a shred of compassion with the simple phrase: "I do not know what you want. The sun is shining and I'm alive. "Today, Kuhs lives in the hearts of his fellow men, and has continued them with his serenity and earth way.
