Major update: Sources replaced with FAZ & Handelsblatt

I have completely rewritten the draft to address the reviewer's concerns regarding source independence.

I have removed all trade publications and replaced them with major German national newspapers of record to establish undeniable notability:

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ): In-depth profile on the company's market position (Source: faz_portrait).
Handelsblatt: Article regarding the "Hall of Fame" induction (Source: handelsblatt_hof).
Neue Westfälische: Critical coverage of 2024 revenue decline to demonstrate neutral, independent reporting (Source: nw_sales).

All non-English sources now include trans-title for verification. I request a re-evaluation based on these high-quality secondary sources.
