The insolvency of a regional corporate group in Upper Palatinate is Wolfgang Würth’s topic. He successfully reports on the developments and growing financial struggles without sycophancy or undue bias. It becomes evident that entrepreneurial decisions, the declining construction economy during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the behaviour of creditors all contributed to the insolvency. Wolfgang Würth avoids simple attributions of blame. An informative interview with the insolvency administrator, an article on the employees' prospects, and a text about the committed and supportive owner until the conclusion of the insolvency process complete an exceptional piece of regional economic reporting.
