A warm June day in Hamburg. Expectancy and suspense are lying in the air. Thousands of people have gathered in the Millerntor Stadium to discover tomorrow’s trends at the “Digital Kindergarten” technology and digital event. But then suddenly a somber mood overcomes the stadium — the crowd looks over towards the player’s tunnel where a funeral procession is slowly approaching. It passes the rows of incredulous spectators to the main stand. The mourners are accompanied by a small band whose musicians are playing a sad tune. It is a classic jazz burial, not on a New Orleans boulevard but right in the middle of the Hanseatic city in the north of Germany.
“Let us bid farewell to an old friend,” is how a man dressed in a priest’s cassock begins the funeral eulogy. “Let us thank it for so any unforgettable moments over the 100 or so years.” An oversized key appears the moment the stretcher is uncovered, and it is now clear who Bosch is paying its last respects to.
Key moments in the last 100 years
The car key really does have a long history. Bosch has supplied ignition switches with the appropriate key ever since 1911. If it was not placed in the keyhole then the ignition could not be turned on and the engine did not start up. It was the first anti-theft protection for cars. The interior locking system first appeared in the 1920s. Prior to that most vehicles did not have a roof covering the whole passenger compartment so that there was no need for lockable doors.
