Developer Maik Halbe is involved in the volunteer fire department

It is impossible to say exactly how many people in Germany do volunteer work. Estimates range - depending on the definition - from 16 to 29 million. What is certain, however, is that without their commitment, social cohesion would suffer considerably. One of these people is Maik Halbe. The 44-year-old IT expert, who has been part of the development team at eks Engel for almost ten years, has been a member of the volunteer fire department in the municipality of Wenden since 1992.
