Yellow grinding: Marburg company shows solidarity with soldiers

On January 31, 2025, the Bundeswehr in the Marburg district of Wehrda carried out a special gesture of recognition and support. During a ceremonial handover, the Stab Division Association presented fast forces four yellow loops to the local company Kaphingst. These loops symbolically stand for solidarity, appreciation and the support that the Bundeswehr receives from civil society

The handover took place in the Kaphingst branch, a company with an impressive story. Founded in 1912, Kaphingst today has around 400 employees and over 20 branches that specialize in the sale and provision of rehabilitation technology, orthopedic technology, medical technology and health products. Boris Pichler, the managing partner of Kaphingst, emphasized the significant role of support for the Bundeswehr during the event.

meaning of the yellow grinding

The yellow grinding is more than just a symbol. They impart the sympathy and the backing of the population. The message behind these loops is: "We think of you, we haven't forgotten you." This solidarity is increased by parliamentarians, particularly in the run -up to Christmas, which, with yellow ligaments of solidarity, transmit friendly words to the families of the soldiers who are in use. This shows the close connection between municipal society with the Bundeswehr and its comrades.

in Germany, the USA and other countries such as England, Denmark and Sweden, the yellow loop is traditionally used to express support for soldiers. These colored ribbons have different messages, but are always a sign of solidarity with the soldiers and their families. There are many ways for the population to show their support, by attaching yellow grinding or stickers to vehicles, mailboxes or even on the balcony.

Kaphingst and the Bundeswehr

Kaphingst has already actively classified itself in the support of the Bundeswehr. The company supplies Bundeswehr locations in Stadtallendorf and Frankenberg with orthopedic aids. Colonel Oliver Behr was also present and emphasized the importance of solidarity for soldiers during their missions. This help is crucial for the well -being of the soldiers and their return home.

The yellow loops are a simple but effective sign of recognition, which reminds the public to think of the soldiers who often serve far from home. The campaign is not only a symbol, but also a call to the communities to actively participate in the support of the soldiers.
