As Schels in early 2008 with the operator of the AEG area offered as a service provider, recognized immediately the project Bertram Schultze organizational talent and the communicative potential of the network Schels. He offered to play on the Hall 14 with art and culture. "The offer of Mr. Schultze was extremely tempting - I could not help it and had to exercise that opportunity. For me alone the project would however, was much too big, so I activated human culture enthusiasts and we founded the charitable organization centrifuge - eV communication, art and culture, "recalls Schels.
