CHAPTER 8
Conclusion
What Have I Learned About Wender & Duerholt?
The management of the Wender & Duerholt organisation in South Australian did not act in the best interests of the company or the employees. In History, my findings are: I have learned a lesson - made experience - and made many disappointments by volunteering given my energy away to people I did not know.
But for volunteering for any organisation those who have given time in volunteering, 'labour and money' seldom are recognized. Energy produced in any human body must be used, but be aware to whom you will give it, be aware of volunteering for any political organization or Authority.
I have seen the business history of Max Liberman who entered South Australia in 1948. Refer to the Journal number 40; 2012. The Historical Society of South Australia the Article, written by Alen Hutchen and Dr. Critina Garnaut.
Due to the Cold War in 1948 till 1980 Eugen Lohmann gave everything to his new Company Wender & Duerholt in South Australia for being in a safe place in the World. But seldom has a worker received the full value for labour that he or she has given to an employer or any organization or authority.
This State 'South Australia' was established with the help of 10% German people in the 1836. Today in 2000 these people have become the forgotten people in the multicultural system.
After the Vietnam War there was an influx of Asian people into Australia. German people have not held together in any community in Australia. The Geramn people acted as individuals and wanted to remain as individual persons.
The question are: why did Eugen Lohmann maked (a donation) to the Housing Trust development area 'Christies Beach' in 1965 a gift, a bronze statue called "the Rainmakers".The anwer is, Eugen Lohmann wanted to get back as a director a company, a position which he had lost since 1958 Director of Wender & Duerholt.
