3rd Leipzig Symposium

Processing: Quality and Safety

17-18 March 2010, Leipzig, Germany

The processing division of DGF is proud to announce the 3rd Symposium in Leipzig, Germany. In a three year cycle of these symposia we discussed important trends and current developments in seed and oil processing. The high number of participants from the crushing and refining industry, engineering companies, from suppliers of equipments, supplies and services as well as from universities and research centres recognise a wide interest for such symposia.
Within the last three years the vegetable oil industry has been influenced by tremendous changes, one of them was the end of the bio diesel ?boom?. The impact on seed processing was dramatic due to strong demand for oilseeds as a source for alternative energy. New oil seed crushing and refining plants were built. Increasing quantities of products such as rape meal from extraction plants or pressing plants and vegetable oils came into the market. These valuable products are a source for food, feed and energy. With the end of the bio diesel ?boom?, the margin went down. The market needs quality and safety products and only these products can be sold.

?Processing: Quality and Safety? is the topic of the 3rd symposium in Leipzig. Quality and safety are very important, if you will use the products for food, feed and also for energy. The processing division of DGF will consider various aspects of it in the oil milling and oil refining process. Oils and meals from oilseeds have to have high quality and must be safe products. The symposium will give you an overview of latest developments and state of the art equipments and supplies in quality and safe aspects.
 The symposium is addressed to all, working in or with the oil seed processing industry such as investors, plant manager, project engineers, operators, quality control manager, safety managers, researcher, traders etc.
Leipzig is an excellent place with its tradition in culture and trade and its recent up-coming importance as industry, logistics, science and trade fair location. Leipzig is convenient and well connected for all visitors via international airport, railway station and motorways.
It would be our great pleasure to welcome you in Leipzig.

Auerbachs Keller Auerbach's Keller
Auerbachs Keller (Auerbach's Cellar in English) is the best known and second oldest restaurant in Leipzig. It was described in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's play Faust I, as the first place Mephistopheles takes Faust on their travels.

The wine bar was first mentioned in a historical record dated 1438. Although it was one of the city's most important wine bars already in the 16th century, its worldwide popularity is primarily due to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Goethe often visited Auerbach's Cellar while studying in Leipzig 1765-1768, and saw there two paintings on wood dating from 1625, one depicting the magician and astrologer
 
Between 1912 and 1913 much of Auerbach's Cellar was reconstructed and expanded as part of the demolition of the medieval construction above it and the erection of the Mädlerpassage. It was reopened on 22 February 1913, which is also the date when the two sculptures Mephisto and Faust and Bewitched Students were placed at the entrance of the wine bar.

Leipzig

(Excerpts from www.leipzig.de)
Leipzig  is the largest city in the German federal state of Saxony, with a population of approximately 517,000. It is the industrial center of the region and a major cultural center, offering interesting sights, shopping possibilities and lively nightlife.
First documented in 1015, and endowed with city and market privileges in 1165, the city of Leipzig has fundamentally shaped the history of Saxony and of Germany.  Leipzig acquired the nickname Klein Paris ("Little Paris") in the 18th century, when it became a center of a classical literary movement under the leadership of German scholar and writer Johann Christoph Gottsched. 		Augustusplatz
Bach
 The hometown of Johann Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach was Leipzig's musical director  and choirmaster of the St Thomas' Boys Choir between 1723 and 1750. The city has dedicated itself to maintaining Bach's heritage with the Bach Archives, the Bach Museum, the St Thomas' Boys Choir, and the Gewandhaus Orchestra
The Leipzig Fair - "trade fairs made-to-measure"

The Leipzig Fair is also known as the "mother of all trade fairs" and opened its new exhibition centre in 1996. In 1997 the trade fair celebrated the 500th anniversary of being granted the "Imperial Right to Hold Trade Fairs". The slogan of the Leipzig Fair: "trade fairs made-to-measure".
Messe
Demo Leipzig - the City of the Peaceful Revolution of 1989

Leipzig was the starting point for the events which led to the Peaceful Revolution of 1989. You can visit the original locations of St Nicholas's Church, where after the Prayers for Peace were said, the demonstrations started along Augustusplatz and the central ring road to the headquarters of the secret police (Stasi), part of which has been incorporated into the Museum in the "Round Corner".
The Old City Hall

Leipzig's Old Town Hall is one of the most beautiful Renaissance town halls in Germany. It was built between 1556 and 1557 in just nine months.
