Event on cryptocurrencies at Forvis Mazars, 14.04.2026
On the evening of 14 April, an event on cryptocurrencies took place at Forvis Mazars in Frankfurt in cooperation with the German British Society Rhine Main e.V. In a highly inspiring presentation, Martin Haack, partner at Forvis Mazars in Stuttgart, provided a structured overview of how cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology work, as well as current market trends, regulatory developments and practical use cases. In addition, Veronika Gloßner, partner at Forvis Mazars in Frankfurt, explained the tax classification of crypto assets in Germany and, using practical examples, highlighted in particular holding periods, tax exemption thresholds and common mistakes made in tax returns. The event series is part of the objective to place economically relevant topics more strongly with young adults within the German British Society Rhine Main. Tobias Mackenrodt, host of the evening and Partner at Forvis Mazars in Frankfurt, was particularly pleased with the lively participation of attendees during the subsequent Q&A session and the successful cooperation between Forvis Mazars and the German British Society.
Subject: Dr Phil Winters 19.03.26
On 19.03.26 at 19:00, at the Frankfurter PresseClub and on Teams, Dr. Phil Winters gave a sizeable audience a talk entitled “Why We Say Yes (or No): A Practical Look at How People Make Decisions”.
Phil is an internationally renowned Customer Relationship Management expert, known variously as “The Father of Customer Intelligence”, “Datenflüsterer” and “Choreograf des Kundenerlebnisses”. During his active career he took the concept of “Kundenzufriedenheit” a stage further, to “Kundenbegeisterung”. His talk was interactive, very instructive and highly entertaining.
Phil is also an accomplished “Techie”, not least in AI. If we’re nice to him, he might return to Frankfurt early next year with an analysis of AI developments between now and then.
Subject: John Kampfner 26.02.26
On the evening of 26.02.26, at the Frankfurter PresseClub and on YouTube, John Kampfner gave us an incisive and entertaining but, alas, rather depressing state of the nation talk on Britain. He also touched on the many current problems of Germany and other big western European countries. John was worried that, unless top politicians in these countries became more courageous and resolute, there could be a lurch towards political extremism across the board in Europe in the next few years. John also mentioned his new book, „Braver New World“, due to be published in English in April and in German in September, in which he seeks a more positive perspective on the world by describing how selected countries have found “state of the art” solutions in areas such as care homes, social housing, clean energy and digitisation.
The event was well-attended both physically and virtually. In cooperation again with the FPC we plan to invite John back early next year to tell us more about “Braver New World”.
Subject: Guided Tour at the Historical Museum in Frankfurt 29.01.2026
On 29.01.26 we enjoyed a second guided tour of German-British exhibits at the Historical Museum in Frankfurt. Reinhard Fröhlich, Co-Head of the museum’s Freunde & Förderer group, started by highlighting Shakespeare’s impact on Goethe, impressively reading from some of the many Goethe letters in the museum’s possession. He then showed us the Frankfurt facsimile of the Holy Roman Imperial Crown (the original being in the Wiener Schatzkammer), mentioned interestingly that British kings played a role in the election of (Austrian-German) Holy Roman Emperors in the 18th Century, and described how Frankfurt had undermined Napoleon’s Continental Blockade in the early 19th Century. He went on to explain why the UK is historically so important to Siemens, that Reuters was established in London in 1851 by Baron Paul Reuter, and that British engineers introduced flush toilets and sanitation systems to the City of Frankfurt around the same time (well-known brands being Twyford, Doulton and…Crapper).
After the tour most of the group proceeded across the river for drinks and a bite to eat at Maaschanz Bistro – a nice end to an enjoyable evening.

Vortrag am 26.09.2019
Prof. Dr. Andreas Fahrmeir, professor of modern history at Goethe University, Frankurt am Main. He received his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1997 and his Habilitation from Frankfurt in 2001, referierte zu:
“Windrush, Brexit, Australia’s Senate and the Irish Border: Imperial Subjecthood Meets the Modern Nation-State”
Aus der Synopsis in der Einladung:
“A number of recent developments have drawn attention to peculiarities of British citizenship and migration policies: the gradual transition from Imperial to national citizenships, the complex links between post-imperial citizenship(s) and political rights in various jurisdictions, and the gaps in immigration documents. These issues emerged in different contexts and have occurred from Ireland to Australia. They are closely linked, however, by the historical trajectories of legal definitions of a British subject from 1608 on the one hand and decisions in favour of cost-effective and pragmatic immigration control practices on the other. Both are being challenged by the current transition to a different model of citizenship in post-Brexit Britain, as well as in some Commonwealth countries. The talk will explore how this situation came about and what could result from it.”
Lecture “Crisis what Crisis. The Great Rebalancing of Western Democracies by David Goodhart, on 27th of June 2019
“But what is undeniable is that the modern world in Britain and other rich democracies has been designed by and for the Anywheres – the knowledge economy and the centrality of cognitive ability to modern achievement, the expansion of higher education and relative neglect of technical and vocational learning, the rapid social change represented by mass immigration and a more open economy, and the decline of the family and more stable communities. This has produced a backlash that we call populism. And finding a new settlement between Anywheres and Somewheres is now the central task of modern politics” (Taken from: The Conservative journal, Issue 5, November 2017).
