Thank you for contributing this article! I have announced it at Portal:Germany/New article announcements and on Portal:Germany. If you contribute more articles on buildings in Germany, please add a note there. If you need help of other German-speaking Wikipedians, check out the talk page of the German-speaking noticeboard; you may also be interested in the Overview of Germany project pages. Welcome and thanks again, and happy editing! Kusma (討論) 16:49, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the warm welcome. From time to tome I contribute to the German Wikipedia, and on a FEW occasions also to the English version. --Sunshinemind 13:34, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Trains in Europe
Hi Sunshinemind,

I would like to ask you a favor, since I am planning on starting a wikiproject by the name WikiProject Trains in Europe if you could consider helping developing it. Takk for your time! --H| H irohisat  Talk 23:27, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Hirohisat, I will try to contribute to your project, but due to limited time and focus on the German WP (categories real estate / railway / hockey) it won't be much, sorry. Just give me a hint on one or two articles I should work at. --Sunshinemind 07:09, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Myth or not...
Du hast hier ja geändert, dass der nationalhymnespielende ICE3 ein Mythos sei, ist das Video hier dann ein Fake? http://ice-fanpage.de/videos/ice3_hymne.avi --FloSch 20:24, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hallo Flo, m. E. ist das gefaked. Grundsätzlich ist es so, dass bei den vom ICE (und Taurus) verwendeten Drehstrommotoren durch die Wechselrichter beim Anfahren ein "singendes" Geräusch erzeugt wird. Dieses steigt mit ansteigender Leistung (meine ich, auf jeden Fall geht es nur in eine Richtung - hoch). Daher müsste eine Drehstromlok (oder ein ICE) zum Erzeugen der Nationalhymne die verschiedenen Stufen sehr schnell wechselnd durchlaufen. Das ist m. W. technisch nicht möglich. Zur Klärung der Frage stelle ich die Frage mal ins Drehscheibe-Forum, auch wenn ich da vermutlich gebashed werde, und melde mich wieder. Grüße, --Sunshinemind 07:28, 7 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Ich halte das Video eigentlich nicht für einen Fake, ich kenn den Urheber und denke nciht, dass er da mit gefaketen Sachen arbeitet. Technisch fällt mir auch kein vernünftiger Grund ein, warum es nicht funktionieren sollte. In DSO sieht's der bisher einzige antwortende ja ähnlich. Etwas schief klingt's ja ohnehin, denn ein Stromrichter ist schließlich kein Musikinstrument. Wenn ich an die Tonleiter denke, die ein Taurus so beim anfahren verursacht, kann ich mir sehr gut vorstellen, dass man das mit spezieller Software auch anders hinkriegt. Siemens-Techniker sind ja Spielkinder, wie diverse Easter Eggs in der Taurus-Software zeigen :) --FloSch 09:20, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, überzeigt, ich nehme es wieder rein, dank für den Hinweis. --Sunshinemind 07:34, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Liegenschaftszins
"... the Liegenschaftszins does not include the loss of rent, which is subtracted from the gross operating income. Therefore the Liegenschaftszins will usually be lower than the All Risk Yield."

Could you please explain the above. Do you mean to say that the Liegenschaftszins does not include a loss for vacancy? If so, shouldn't it be the other way round - the Liegenschaftszins would be higher than the All Risks Yield?

As regards the separate valuations for the land and improvements: Is the building valued only for the duration of its useful life? Are buildings never capitalised to infinity?

Is it possible to view an example of a German Income Approach calculation in practice?

Danke schőn. Tkeu 20:31, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Tkeu, the LZ does not allow for rental loss, meaning the income that should be generated from existing leases, but is not paid due to poor economic situation of tentant or other reasons. This loss is allowed for by subtracting it from the gross income (usually the percentage is determined by existing numbers, should be not higher than 2 % in well-managed residential assets. As this risk of rental loss is an additional risk for the ARY compared to the LZ (higher risk --> higher yield), the ARY should be (and usually is) higher.


 * This should not be confused with structural vacancy (e. g. if the asset is in an area such as Eastern Germany with high, long-lasting vacancy that leads to the assumption that a significant percentage of the assets lettable space can not be let). This structural vacancy should under German PAP be accounted for by reducing the gross income.


 * Regarding your second question: Yes, buildings are never capitalised to infinity (even though mathematically the difference tends to zero with useful life > 30 ys). Bitte schön, gerne --Sunshinemind 17:35, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I once saw a valuation report produced, I believe, by DTZ. This was for an office building in Frankfurt, if I'm not mistaken. They valued the property by use of what they called the "German Cold (kalt) Multiplier". Is this not something that is in general use?

One further question: The "valuation committees" you refer to - are these a kind of land tribunal? Do they undertake valuations themselves? Are these valuations for tax purposes? (local council tax?). Tkeu 21:20, 19 September 2007 (UTC)


 * The term "German Cold Multiplier" is not familiar to me, never heard of that. Sounds like a bogus translation to me. Of course the multiplier has to be on the cold rents (providing the rental numbers for determination of the NOI). Maybe it is confused with the "Maklerfaktor" (engl: GRM), a term sometimes used for a quick, rough valuation estimate using standard factors (comparables) on the gross income?


 * "Land tribunal" is unknown to me, sorry. In any case the GA has no jurisdicative power whatsoever. Yes, the GA can undertake valuations themselves, even though this is rather seldom. And yes, the GA can also carry out valuations in order to determine tax values (usually the so-called Bedarfswert (hard to translate, a valuation undertaken if needed for tax reasons, generally related to market value, but with some important differences and a different set of legislation / rules).--Sunshinemind 07:25, 20 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Dear Sunshinemind, If you were to enter your email address in your Wikipedia account (to do this go to "preferences") I would be able to send you the said valuation report (without being able to view your email address). It would be interesting to know what you make of it. However, if I am bothering you too much, then feel free to ignore. Tkeu 16:07, 20 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Will do, as I am curious what this might be. --Sunshinemind 07:35, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Sunshinemind. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sunshinemind~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:55, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
