An assignment to Germany,
the heart of central Europe, means living and working in one of the most progressive, dynamic and
interesting of European countries. Today it offers an opportunity
to witness
and participate in an important new phase of German and European history. In
addition, Germany offers a high standard
of living, extensive travel
opportunities both within and outside the country, world-class cultural
events and recreational facilities for everyone. Berlin is a capital city
with a turbulent past, the crucible of a century of history. Reduced to
rubble by World War II bombing, and starkly divided by the Cold War, the
city has survived and prospered through the courage, optimism and
determination of its citizens. In recent years, Berlin has experienced
radical economic and physical change as well as a significant cultural
renaissance. |
