Package of handkerchiefs by Tempo

Tempo is the first German brand for paper handkerchiefs. [1] [2] Today, the brand belongs to Essity.

Contents

The brand name became independent in Germany in the course of time as a generic name and in colloquial language, paper handkerchiefs of other brands were often referred to as "Tempo handkerchief" or "Tempo" for short. [3] [4] [5] [6]

History

The disposable paper handkerchief made of cellulose was the product idea of two Jewish leading owners of Vereinigte Papierwerke AG, Oskar Rosenfelder (1878–1950) and his brother Emil Rosenfelder (1861–1945/1946). Oskar registered the Tempo brand on January 29, 1929 [5] at the Reichspatentamt in Berlin. [6] The nazis forced the two to sell their firm. [6]

In 1935, 150 million products were produced by Tempo. [6] This number rose to 1 billion in 1955 and more than 4 billion in 1962. [6]

In 2001, the brand was sold to SCA. [6] Since a secession, Tempo has been part of Essity. [6]

Speed limits in Germany are set by the federal government. All limits are multiples of 10 km/h. There are two default speed limits: 50 km/h (31 mph) inside built-up areas and 100 km/h (62 mph) outside built-up areas. While parts of the autobahns and many other freeway-style highways have posted limits up to 130 km/h (81 mph) based on accident experience, congestion and other factors, many rural sections have no general speed limit. The Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) section on speed begins with the requirement which may be rendered in English:

Any person driving a vehicle may only drive so fast that the car is under control. Speeds must be adapted to the road, traffic, visibility and weather conditions as well as the personal skills and characteristics of the vehicle and load.
