This is my passion.\u201d You could as well say it is his calling. Marcus Brill\u2019s father before him had been referee for decades and this is without a doubt the reason why the son took the same path. \u201cAs a little boy I stood on the sidelines and watched my father,\u201d Marcus Brill says. \u201cAfter the matches, we always had long and heated discussions about his decisions.\u00a0 One day he said: \u2018You know what, why don\u2019t you do it yourself if you know better!\u2019 I couldn\u2019t leave that unchallenged. Later we refereed matches together.

Being one of Germany\u2019s top referees, he has travelled the world. Whether Korea or Russia, there is almost no corner in the world left where he has not already been on account of his passion for ice hockey. Although you might not believe it given the effort it takes: In contrast to football, it is almost impossible to make a living for an ice hockey referee with the meagre pay. \u201cAll of us do it because we love to do it. Twice a week, two full hours on the ice, that\u2019s a tough job in addition to your main job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Marcus Brill\u2019s main job is characterised by his other passion\u2014for the spa town Bad D\u00fcrkheim in the Palatinate region. After his A-levels, the man born in the west of the Palatinate region moved to Kaiserslautern to study there. It was more or less incidentally that the young city planner ended up in Bad D\u00fcrkheim where he started working in the business development sector, promoting tourism. \u201cWhen I tell people that I am responsible for major events many people think that my main job was to hang out at the <em>D\u00fcrkheimer Wurstmarkt<\/em> (\u201cBad D\u00fcrkheim Sausage Market\u201d) with a <em>dubbe <\/em>(local wine glass) in my hand. But it is not that simple,\u201d Marcus Brill says. Together with his team of sixteen staff members he takes care of the organisation and the process of the massive spectacle at which show people from all over Europe participate. The <em>D\u00fcrkheimer Wurstmarkt<\/em> is the world\u2019s biggest wine festival and lures 650,000 people to the Palatinate town with its just 19,000 inhabitants. \u201cIt is one of the most commercial public festivals in Germany. The success of this festival is mainly due to the wine producers of Bad D\u00fcrkheim whom we have a very close collaboration with. This is a very particular kind of people. The young generation, who right now take the helm of the family businesses, pushes the quality of the wines to their limits. They are excellently trained and highly motivated people who also take new paths with regard to marketing. It is simply fun to work with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-ta tw-text-small\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"\u00dcbersetzung\"><span lang=\"en\">\u201cThe visitors come for the game, the tourists for the events.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>One impressive example of this new cooperation is the success of the <em>Bad D\u00fcrkheimer Wein-N\u00e4chte<\/em> (\u201cwine nights in Bad D\u00fcrkheim\u201d). In the beginning of March, wine growers and their cooperatives invite the public to the biggest open-air wine tasting in the Palatinate region. Marcus Brill and his team illuminate the vineyards with laser lights and skybeamers, putting the most important Palatinate cultural asset into perspective. Up to 20,000 wine enthusiasts flood the vineyards at those nights.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/JungAdler-14.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5074\" src=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/JungAdler-14.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/JungAdler-14.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/JungAdler-14-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/JungAdler-14-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTourism improves everyone\u2019s quality of life. When I started working here, one of our main goals was to fight the vacancy level in the retail sector. By now, Bad D\u00fcrkheim has become the smallest location in Germany for many international chains. With 600,000 overnight stays and several million day visitors per day we are now also interesting for the big companies. Here, we have 120 gastronomers and 19,000 inhabitants and everyone is doing fine.

Since its opening in 2005, Mannheim is the home of the seven time German ice hockey champions, the <em>Adler Mannheim<\/em>. When top matches are on, more than 13,000 fans flock to the home games of the club\u2014and even for an old hand like Marcus Brill his assignments at his \u201chome arena\u201d are special events. On days like that, everything is focused on the high-speed game carried out on the 60 x 30 metre ice rink. Here, in the eye of the hurricane where the best players clash, it is German ice hockey league referee Marcus Brill\u2019s job to organise the orderly process of the match. Feelings are running high quickly at ice hockey so that as a referee you have to settle punch-ups on a regular basis and cannot allow yourself a moment of weakness\u2014a job that is horribly demanding but which Marcus Brill loves\u2014because it gives him the strength for the daily challenges of the equally arduous job in the tourism business.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5118\" style=\"width: 5207px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/sparre_170908_1366_AS-SportfotoBinder.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5118\" class=\"wp-image-5118 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/sparre_170908_1366_AS-SportfotoBinder.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5197\" height=\"3465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/sparre_170908_1366_AS-SportfotoBinder.jpg 5197w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/sparre_170908_1366_AS-SportfotoBinder-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/sparre_170908_1366_AS-SportfotoBinder-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/sparre_170908_1366_AS-SportfotoBinder-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5197px) 100vw, 5197px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5118\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Daniel Sparre (Mannheimer Adler) vs. Torsten Ankert (Grizzlys Wolfsburg).<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In the fight for the favour of the tourists and increasing numbers of overnight stays Bad D\u00fcrkheim is now well-positioned. With its central and strategically perfect location at the edge of the Haardt mountain range, it is a perfect starting point for exploring the Palatinate region on its numerous hiking and mountain-biking trails and has so much more to offer beyond the <em>Wurstmarkt<\/em>: excellent spa facilities including the spa gardens, the just recently renovated historic saline, a casino and divers eating establishments. Yet all of this is no reason for Marcus Brill to lean back, on the very contrary: \u201cWe constantly think about how we could make our town even more attractive. It is a wonderful success that the local radio station SWR 3 has performed its Comedy Festival here since 2016. From April 26 to 28, all of Germany\u2019s top comedians appear on altogether five stages. And, of course, the glasses are filled only with the wines from Bad D\u00fcrkheim\u2014that is a matter of honour.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5119\" style=\"width: 5207px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jubel_180124_0780_AS-Sportfoto.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5119\" class=\"wp-image-5119 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jubel_180124_0780_AS-Sportfoto.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5197\" height=\"3465\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5119\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Happiness after a goal for the Adlers.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In Bad D\u00fcrkheim, there are many new things going on, which just cannot be ignored. There is the new Christmas market, which started in 2016 for the first time, the modernisation of the Brunnenhalle and the planned new construction of the thermal bath, which is due to be finished by 2021\u2014with Marcus Brill and his team having a finger in every pie. The question arises how his two so very different fulltime jobs get together. Do they have anything in common? \u201cThere actually are several parallels, I think. In both functions I do not play the central role. The spectators come because of the match, the visitors because of the event. It is my job to create a suitable framework and ensure fair play. In sports as well as in big events it is all about the right preparation. This has to be very precise. Both are a balancing act between emotion and rationality. Many tiny details fit in to become the big picture. But the most wonderful thing about it is to be able to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/JungAdler-64.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5093\" src=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/JungAdler-64.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/JungAdler-64.jpg 667w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/JungAdler-64-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Today, Marcus Brill has convinced his family, too, of the beauty and the diversity of the Palatinate region.
