What exactly is the german translation to that? I don't get it ;)

So generally if you need multi database access you have to connect on 
your own. You can create a new doctrine instance directly (without any 
Flow help in this case) or do direct DB connects. Whatever suits your 
needs. If you want the API to stay similar you would still create a 
repository but just not extend from the normal Repository but implement 
the interface yourself. That way you can use the Repository like any 
other but have it work on another database. You just have to be extra 
careful with relations. As Flow cannot help you with that.

Cheers,
Christian
