After we had already been able to get to know the TecAlliance in Ismaning and Weikersheim during our first month we spent the last week in the Cologne office. As in Ismaning we got to know many departments and employees. After our trip from Weikersheim to Cologne we first got a guided tour through the building and an insight inte the Data Dirstribution department from our contact person Benjamin. On the following day we got an insight into the tasks of the Solution Management and the Sales department. On this evening we went together with Benjamin and his wife Malou to a little city tour. First we drove to a viewing platform to see Cologne from above. There Benjamin showed us the most important and interesting places of the city.
Afterwards we walked over the famous Hohenzollern Bridge towards the cathedral. First of all we looked at it from the outside and the we went indide to see the Cologne Cathedral.
Next to the cathedral we visited the brewery früh where we could taste the famous Kölsch. After the delicious food there Benjamin led us through the old town and showed us some important places.
All in all it was a very nice evening with Benjamin and Malou during which we were able to learn a lot about Cologne.
On Wednesday we got a deeper insight into the Sales department and the Marketing department.
