"Did you know that the financiers Muller, Skabat, Kovner, Hübner committed suicide,
that Rehhe, Keane, Man, Bülehar hanged themselves, that Karelt, Morrison and Commot and the banker
Hammerle and his companion drowned themselves? Do you know that there's bankruptcy upon bankruptcy everywhere,
that coal mines are burning in Alaska and an American coal

fifty percent, that the Salzburg Railway and Tram Company
went bankrupt? You probably don't know that...", as I recall the banker Prochazka exhorted his clerk, Shimu. The consequences for the employee were, as you know, unfortunate.
I don't know about the coal kings, but the glamour of Düsseldorf is dead. In its place is now an empty space crossed with a cross...
