Time to say Goodbye...

Today, with this article, the English news service from the Bonner General-Anzeiger, GA-English, is coming to an end.

In four articles a day, three on Saturdays and a collection of news briefs every Sunday – with the only exception of Christmas and New Year’s Day – the team brought news from Bonn to you, the readers, for eight straight years now.

Thank YOU for reading the articles, and also for supporting and challenging the team – it was an honour for us to do this job.
