German term or phrase: in Scheiben schneiden
Gubens Bürgermeister Klaus-Dieter Hübner (FDP) erwartet einen spürbaren Schub für die Wirtschaftsstruktur der Grenzstadt. Von Hagens war zuvor in Polen am Widerstand der Einwohner mit seinem Plan gescheitert, sich in der 50 Kilometer östlich von Guben gelegenen Gemeinde Sieniawa Zarska anzusiedeln. Der Heidelberger, der auch in China eine große Firma zur Plastination betreibt, will in Guben mit einem selbst entwickelten Verfahren Leichen sowie Leichenteile präparieren und für wissenschaftliche sowie Lehrzwecken in Scheiben schneiden. Zudem soll ein "Körperspendezentrum" eingerichtet werden.
