Highlights
General meeting
Parkhotel Görlitz
Thursday, May 29th 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm
Our most important organ in our lively association. The board reports on the activities and looks forward to your suggestions and active participation! The Golden Voting Hammer award ceremony also takes place here.
Tool committee
Parkhotel Görlitz
Thursday, May 29th from 4:00 pm
Once again we have interesting tools to present! We were able to persuade Tobias Schmidt from Lychen to demonstrate his latest laser measuring system. With this, scale lengths can be measured easily, and straightening is also possible, as with the Yamaha company. Many other possibilities, such as measuring the bridge pressure, are also conceivable and will be discussed.
Do you have a tool that you think we should see? Just bring it along - we can definitely fit it into these 90 minutes. In the past, it was always a colorful bouquet of different tools and many other things.
Tool flea market
Parkhotel Görlitz
Thursday, May 29th from 5:30 pm
This year there will be another tool flea market. Anyone who has something to sell brings it along and the flea market price is set together. A cash box from the BDK board is available. The tool committee takes care of the organization and keeps 10% for expenses.
If a tool is not sold, it can be taken back or donated to the BDK, which will raffle it off to trainees as a reward for passing their journeyman’s examination.

Invitation to the matinee at Gleis 1 Kultour Saal, Görlitz train station
Dear colleagues and fellow "followers,"
I hereby cordially invite you to a matinee on Sunday, June 1, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Görlitz train station, Bahnhofstraße 76, 02826 Görlitz. The venue is "Gleis 1 KULTOUR SAAL," the former Mitropa waiting room.
Mr. Dirk Schreier owns two beautiful instruments: a piano and a grand piano. Both can be played by the pianist, but also independently – from the roll. Mr. Schreier will demonstrate the instruments and provide a commentary. Pianists from our ranks are welcome to lend a hand.
10 a.m. is after our breakfast. No one will be hungry anymore, but perhaps you'll fancy a coffee or a glass of sparkling wine or beer. Of course, a full range of non-alcoholic beverages will also be available. You can take anything at the bar – I'll pay. After the second glass of champagne, please pay yourself – my former small business with one person could no longer generate income.
Now I look forward to a large turnout.
Yours sincerely, Peter Zergiebel.
Retired piano maker
