  "account": "The logistics company Deutsche Post has changed its name to DHL starting from September 1st. The change was made official through an entry in the trade register and a decision made by the May shareholders' meeting, the company announced in Bonn. Deutsche Post remains a subsidiary within the corporate structure, now responsible for handling domestic mail and parcel transport. The company's shares will also be traded on the stock exchange under the name DHL instead of Deutsche Post. The company changed its brand and public appearance from Deutsche Post DHL Group to DHL Group three years ago, but legally and on the stock exchange, it continued to be known as Deutsche Post AG. That is now over – from now on, the company is called DHL AG. The abbreviation stands for the founding figures Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom, and Robert Lynn. The well-established core business of Deutsche Post, whose roots go back to the Thurn und Taxis mail service of the late Middle Ages in the 15th century, was previously embedded within the parent holding company.",
  "summary": "Kurz nach dem Jahrtausendwechsel verleibte sich die Ex-Bundespost einen US-Logistiker namens DHL ein. Danach wurde die Deutsche Post internationaler, der Name aber blieb deutsch. Bis jetzt.",
