from all our heart we wish you a merry Christmas and all the best for the year 2023.

Yours in sport, Irma Kreutzfeldt and Team

liczne rozmowy z naszymi wystawcami w ciągu ostatnich kilku tygodni pokazały, że nie tylko my zastanawiamy się nad słusznością organizacji tegorocznych Międzynarodowych Targów Gołębi TaubenMarkt w Kassel. Co jakiś czas pojawiała się iskierka nadziei na powrót do normalności po dwuletniej przerwie spowodowanej pandemią.

Niestety fakty mówią coś innego. Również w tym roku nie ma pewności co do tego, czy uda się zorganizować duże międzynarodowe wydarzenie tego typu. Wręcz przeciwnie, w związku z wojną w Ukrainie należy się spodziewać kolejnych poważnych ograniczeń.
Ponadto wszyscy eksperci przewidują kolejną falę zakażeń koronawirusem w okresie jesiennym, a szczepienia ochronne nie okazały się tak skuteczne, jak się spodziewano.

Mimo że bardzo trudno jest się pogodzić z takim stanem rzeczy, w interesie wszystkich zainteresowanych postanowiliśmy jednak unikać wszelkiego ryzyka.

W związku z powyższym 33. Międzynarodowe Targi Gołębi TaubenMarkt 2022 się nie odbędą.

Nasze czasopismo specjalistyczne „TaubenMarkt/Die Sporttaube” pozostaje jednak nadal miejscem, w którym można zaprezentować swoje oferty lub zareklamować nowe produkty.

Zapewniamy również, że będziemy na bieżąco obserwować rozwój sytuacji i bardzo liczymy na Państwa wyrozumiałość oraz dalsze zainteresowanie.

Pozdrawiam

Again, a year is drawing to its end and it was not an easy one for many of us. Privation taught us facts which really matter: Friends, family, health – and this is exactly what we wish you during this Christmas time.

Together, we are hopefully looking into the future, and I wish to tell you as I already did last year: Although we do not yet see the way, it is there and we will walk it together as we used to do before. The homing pigeon community is not only a group of enthusiasts of the same hobby, above all, it is characterised by friendly relations and social cohesion.

I wish you, your families and friends a truly contemplative Christmas and an opportunity to enjoy that moment and a healthy, happy New Year 2022.

Yours in sport,
Irma Kreutzfeldt

Dear readers,

It was exactly at this time of the recent year, when I had to inform you with a heavy heart about the fact that the International PigeonMarket 2020 could not take place. The heart did not get lighter, but I will have to repeat this now for the International PigeonMarket 2021 because of the persistent and large planning incertainty.
I am shocked and deeply disappointed, but there will be no International PigeonMarket in Kassel this year either. Of course, this is owed to a situation in which we have been for more than a year now. This year, we cannot be optimistic as usual about the organisation of this event which means so much to all of us and is more than only a special fair.
The usual and social gathering in every October had kept us together as friends of homing pigeons, allowing a lot of excellent conversations and meeting long-lost friends. The atmosphere of the International PigeonMarket and the merry reunions constitute the PigeonMarket. We are afraid that this could not take place in compliance with the Corona requirements.
The cancellation of the Munich Oktoberfest was already a clue – nevertheless, we had dicussions with exhibitors who explained their views to us, and two thirds of them were sceptical that a successful organisation of the International Pigeon Market 2021 could be held successfully without any restrictions by corona rules for all parties involved. Also, the possibility of another wave in autumn also adds to this uncertainty in all of our considerations.
I am aware of your disappointment with this cancellation and wish to assure you that we are feeling the same. Nevertheless, Kassel either is or is not at all; a Kassel „light” is not conceivable and Kassel „light” is not necessary. We all need a new and difficult-to-gain confidence to obtain optimism that the International Pigeon Market 2022 will be our long-awaited and more than deserved reunion, a party of superlatives! And all of us of the International Pigeon Market are very much looking forward to welcoming you again in the coming year at last.

Best regards, Irma Kreutzfeldt

the entire Team of the International PigeonMarket Kassel wishes you and your families a peaceful Easter with lots of sun and, above all, health.

another year is drawing to a close. And as usual at the end of each year – but especially at the end of this year – we reflect on what really counts. The peaceful season awaits us with silence, maybe some snow and precious time with our loved ones. At Christmas it’s not about ‚Glühwein‘ at the Christmas market, not about the Christmas parties in the company or club, it’s also not about gifts, because the greatest gift we already have is time for our friends, our families and ourselves. Together we will manage this year to capture the true spirit of Christmas and to remeind us oft he past Christmas and the magic that they left behind.

I sincerely wish you, your friends and your families a Merry Christmas with an eye for what is really important, as well as a healthy, successful New Year 2021.

Yours in sport,

Irma Kreutzfeldt
