A total of 15 counseling centers with 43 main and satellite locations: esperanza pregnancy counseling is an important point of contact for parents and in the Archdiocese of Cologne. Now the help network under the umbrella of Caritas is celebrating an anniversary.

Since it was founded under the Caritas umbrella in 2000, 185.000 mothers and fathers found help. "Esperanza helps mothers and fathers, regardless of nationality and religion, to set out into life with their children with hope and confidence, that's what it's all about," says Dr. Frank Johannes Hensel, Cologne Diocesan Caritas Director.

On the occasion of the anniversary on Thursday, 26. November, this site broadcasts.DE at 10 o'clock in the Internet TV the pontifical mass and the ceremonial act to the 20-year existence of the pregnancy consultation esperanza from the Cologne Basilika St. Maria im Kapitol with auxiliary bishop Ansgar Puff.

Meanwhile, the number of esperanza counseling sessions continues to rise, with women mostly coming in. They feel overwhelmed and come forward with personal conflicts – for example, because they are uncertain about their partnership, are worried about a possible disability of the child, or because of financial and housing difficulties.

50 million euros invested so far

Around 50 million euros have so far been invested in this service for life in the Archdiocese of Cologne. Today, esperanza also offers counseling on prenatal diagnosis (PND) and confidential birth, as well as sexual education work with young people and targeted counseling for fathers.

A few years ago, the Diozesan-Caritasverband and the Sozialdienst katholischer Frauen (SkF) from Cologne also started a project to help with genital mutilation. "The broad network of help shows how important the esperanza counseling is. At the same time, it is a seismograph for social phenomena and problems," said Hensel.

Esperanza was founded by the former Archbishop of Cologne, Joachim Cardinal Meisner, after the Catholic Church in Germany withdrew from the state system of conflict counseling – with the counseling certificate as a prerequisite for a penalty-free abortion.

Gerhard Ludwig Cardinal Muller defends himself and now demands an apology from the German government's abuse commissioner after the Domspatzen scandal has been dealt with. He rejects his own apology.

Cardinal Muller rejected the accusation to the "Passauer Neue Presse" that he had dragged out the clarification of the mass abuse at the Regensburg Cathedral Boys' Choir. He had "for the first time transferred this clarification work to the institutions of the diocese, so that the investigation could begin," said Muller, who was bishop of Regensburg from 2002 to 2012.

Muller sees no reason to apologize

Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Muller sees no reason for his own apology in connection with the investigation of the attacks on the Regensburg Cathedral Boys' Choir. The abuse commissioner Rorig had criticized the current Curia Cardinal on Wednesday: Muller had always spoken of individual cases, but had not investigated the structural failures. "It would be desirable for those affected that he would at least now apologize for the protracted processing," said Rorig. This would be an important sign for those affected.

Muller: Lawyer Weber does not tell the truth

Muller also criticized Regensburg lawyer Ulrich Weber, who had investigated the abuse over the past two years on behalf of current Regensburg Bishop Rudolf Voderholzer. If Weber now reproaches him from the backward perspective and the current state of knowledge, he cannot accept that, Muller said: "That does not correspond to the truth."Weber had criticized Muller for sticking too long to an investigation of individual cases instead of examining the system of violence as a whole.

Nearly 550 Regensburg Cathedral sparrows victims of assault

According to the final report by lawyer Ulrich Weber, 547 Regensburg Cathedral sparrows have been victims of assaults since 1945 "with a high degree of plausibility". About 500 singers were victims of physical violence, 67 were affected by sexual violence. For decades, pupils at the Domspatzen had been beaten and sexually abused. On Muller, Weber's report notes that the bishop at the time initiated the reappraisal in 2010, but was responsible for "strategic, organizational and communication weaknesses". These had been remedied only under his successor Rudolf Voderholzer.

Muller himself has also been slapped and beaten with a stick

Muller emphasized to the "Passauer Neue Presse" that he is no longer the bishop of Regensburg, but that he is "ready for any personal conversation about these terrible experiences of people from that time". He himself, he said, also received slaps and canings in his school days, including in a non-church school. Muller said, "Admittedly, I have to admit: Sexual abuse is still a completely different category than pedagogical assaults.".

autoscout24.de introduced price rating a few weeks ago. The goal is to give the customer an assessment of the price-performance ratio of the vehicle. What is basically a good idea, leaves some questions unanswered and could lead to your dealership receiving fewer inquiries.

No transparency of the autoscout price rating for the car dealer

Each vehicle is given a colored price label to indicate how the price-performance ratio compares to similar models. According to autoscout24, it uses its database from the last 14 months to do this. The evaluation is carried out by an algorithm that is based on 10 million. Data records and over 70 equipment elements per vehicle are to be used. The condition of the vehicle, on the other hand, is not taken into account; autoscout24 generally assumes that the vehicle is in good condition.

An example from autoscout24 which should provide information about the price evaluation process

Autoscout24 gives the above example on its explanatory pages on price evaluation. The identical vehicle with identical price gets three different price labels each. These are to be justified by equipment differences as well as by demand differences of different colors.

For the car dealer, however, these criteria are not transparently disclosed. So it is not obvious to the dealer why his offer gets a different price label and how he ggfs. Through a higher data quality could get a better price label. In the end, the only thing left to do is to turn the price screw in order to get a better price label.

Why your dealership could get fewer leads with autoscout price rating

The price labels have now been included in the filter criteria.

users are literally encouraged to view only TOP offers and good offers

The customer can choose from the beginning that he wants to see only "TOP offers" and "good offers". All other vehicles are no longer displayed at all. a preselection already takes place at this point as well as on the search results page.

vehicles with labels like "expensive", "too expensive" or "no information" will probably receive significantly fewer clicks and convert less effectively.

A problem for brand dealers with used car programs

Autoscout itself states:

Criteria such as condition, inspection seals, regional supply and demand differences as well as additional services provided by the seller, possible upgrades and conversions or re-imports are not taken into account.

In plain language, this means that added values such as used car labels like z.B. The world car, warranties and other services have no relevance in the price rating. At the same time, however, the customer is likely to be prepared to pay a little more for precisely these vehicles.

Have you checked your own price labels and keep a constant eye on them? How is your data quality of the advertisements (comparison of 70 features)??

What are your experiences? Are your price evaluations from autoscout comprehensible?? You may already receive fewer inquiries?

The price ratings are not comprehensible and superfluous, because we have a free market economy.
We offer at mobile.De an

Some have no price rating at all.
Allegedly because there are not enough comparison vehicles available.
The vehicle I am offering is the same as the one without the rating.
Allegedly not purchasable ranking?
And the earth is a disk

As24 supposedly takes the price comparison from the customer – and the seller also pays for the worse placement of his advertisement. What a ver..
mobile not lazy has already joined the as24 bullshit. – the rating can be switched off there?

We- free car dealer with VW, audi, porsche, etc. – have to hear from customers that according to autoscout24.de or mobile.De our vehicle is too expensive, although we are usually the cheapest D-wide or even EU-wide. -.-

The price evaluation lets only more questions come up with the "leads" who "acquire" us the stock exchange.

We find a cheek, since this exchange can not compare our vehicles. Because they are USED.

There are beautiful and not so beautiful.

It is taken into account that the vehicle has a service booklet, but not whether it has been maintained and whether it has been done in the manufacturer’s workshop or not.

Are in favor of removing this rating function for vehicles!

Autoscout24 deactivates the price rating on request and it is only a gray field displayed.
Optically much better than the red too expensive sign..!
No customer asks for a vehicle that is branded as too expensive from the start.
Since deactivating the autoscout24 price rating, we have significantly more demand again.
