  -> Right, the bauseitig part doesn't come from Ernst.
agree  Manfred Mondt: the German is stupid, but this translation is correct after all

disagree  Steffen Walter: Decades later: "Ort(s)beton" is cast-in-place (or cast in-situ) concrete. / Please also edit the German glossary entry to "Ortbeton" - thanks.
