‚Was bleibt vom Opelaner ohne Opel-Werk?‘
„The abiding impression is of a global corporation beating a surreptitious retreat.

GM’s axeing of its Opel plants in Bochum was a long and drawn-out saga, dragging on for several years before they were shut down completely in 2014, by which time demolition had already begun.
