🌟 Exciting News from the German Trade Office Taipei! 🌟 We are delighted to announce that Mr. Christoph Lory has been appointed as the new Head of Communications & Compliance at our office! Christoph has been an integral part of the GTO team for over six years, previously excelling as Senior Manager of Media & Communications. With his exceptional expertise and unwavering dedication, he has been instrumental in shaping our office's communications strategy, enhancing our external marketing efforts, and refining our corporate identity, all while serving as data protection officer. In his new role, he will not only lead the communications department of our office but also take care of IT security as well as anti-corruption and risk management coordination. Christoph graduated from one of Germany's top universities (University of Tuebingen). His sense of adventure brought him to Taiwan almost 10 years ago, where he put his Chinese language skills into practice while earning his master's degree in history from National Taiwan Normal University. A bit about Christoph: • Admires the warmth and friendliness of Taiwanese people, always inspiring friends and colleagues abroad to explore Taiwan. • Has an insatiable love for Taiwan's street food and bustling night markets. • Finds Taiwan's breathtaking mountains over 2,000 meters strikingly similar to those in his homeland. • Completed his master’s thesis in Chinese just in time— right before ChatGPT started making waves. • And Fun Fact: Christoph is a snake in the Chinese zodiac, perfectly aligned with the upcoming year! 🐍 Christoph says, "My journey in Taiwan has been incredible, and it’s an honor to work at the GTO. Working with such a great and dedicated team has been a true pleasure, and I’m excited for the years ahead and the new challenges awaiting me." 🎉👏Let’s give Christoph our warmest congratulations and best wishes for this next phase of his journey! 🚀✨ 🌟 來自德國經濟辦事處的好消息!🌟 德經處很高興在這邊向各位宣布,羅利齊(Christoph Lory)先生被任命為本處新任傳播暨管理部協理!Christoph已在德經處任職超過六年,曾任媒體與傳播部的資深經理,其表現卓越! 他憑藉著優異的專業知識與堅定的奉獻精神,同時擔任本處資安負責人。他在新職位不僅將領導辦事處的傳播部門,還將負責IT安全與反貪腐及風險管理協調等工作。 Christoph畢業於德國頂尖大學之一的杜賓根大學(University of Tübingen),他的冒險精神驅使他在十年前來到台灣,並在國立台灣師範大學取得歷史學碩士學位,並將其中文能力發揮極致。 關於Christoph的一些小故事: • 他欣賞台灣人民的溫暖與友善,總是鼓勵外國的朋友和同事來探索台灣。 • 熱愛台灣街頭美食及熱鬧的夜市文化。 • 喜愛台灣超過2000公尺的壯麗山脈,並覺得與故鄉的山脈相似。 • 他在ChatGPT等AI工具風靡全球之前,已經順利完成了透過中文撰寫的碩士論文。 • 還有一個有趣的事實:克里斯多夫屬於中國生肖中的蛇,與即將到來的年份完美契合!🐍 Christoph表示:「我在台灣的時間一直都非常精彩,能在德國經濟辦事處服務是我的一大榮幸。與如此優秀且充滿熱情的團隊合作,是偌大的快樂!我對未來幾年以及即將迎來的新挑戰也感到非常興奮。」 🎉👏讓我們一起向Christoph表示最熱烈且最美好的祝福,也祝福他在這段新的旅程中大放異彩!🚀✨ #PartnerInTaiwan #MeetOurStaff #HeadOfCommunicationsAndCompliance

🎄🎅✨ With Christmas fast approaching, we’re feeling the holiday spirit here at the office. Tomorrow, December 24th, is a special day for Germans, as it marks the celebration of "Heiligabend"—Christmas Eve. 🥔🌭 Unlike in many countries, where Christmas Day is the main event, Germans traditionally come together on Christmas Eve. The celebrations typically begin with a simple meal—often featuring sausages and a hearty potato salad. 🎶🙏 After dinner, families gather around the Christmas tree to exchange gifts, which are often placed under the tree earlier in the day. The moment of gift-giving is often preceded by a short Christmas service or song, bringing everyone together in the spirit of joy and gratitude. Did you know this about German Christmas traditions? 🎄🎅✨ 隨著聖誕節的腳步臨近,我們的辦公室也充滿了節日的氣氛。明天,12月24日,對德國人來說是個特別的日子,因為這一天是「平安夜」(Heiligabend)的慶祝時刻。不像許多國家將聖誕節當天視為主要活動日,德國人通常在平安夜歡聚一堂。 🥔🌭 慶祝活動通常以一頓簡單的餐點開始,這頓餐點常包括香腸和一道豐富的馬鈴薯沙拉。晚餐後,家人們會圍坐在聖誕樹旁交換禮物,這些禮物往往在當天稍早便被放置在聖誕樹下。 🎶🙏 在交換禮物的時刻前,通常會舉行一場簡短的聖誕禮拜或唱頌聖誕歌曲,讓每個人沉浸在歡樂與感恩的氛圍中。這個充滿魔力的夜晚,洋溢著溫馨、珍貴的傳統與家人團聚的感覺! 你知道這些關於德國聖誕傳統的事情嗎? #PartnerInTaiwan #Heiligabend #GermanChristmasTraditions
