A Message from the President 2018 was a volatile year – and I am not just talking about the markets. For U.S. and European domestic politics, 2018 was marked by unexpected developments and a high degree of uncertainty. Some might even say it was a chaotic year. Together the ambiguity in domestic politics and a complex global ACG President Dr. Steven E. Sokol (lower right) with 2018 Young Leaders environment have had a profound impact on the transatlantic partnership. The volatility and uncertainty that characterized 2018 are likely to continue well into 2019 – and even beyond. There is no question: It was an intense year for German, European, understanding of how common challenges are addressed on and U.S. politics, for the overarching transatlantic relationship – the other side of the Atlantic. We also launched the DZ BANK and of course for the American Council on Germany.

Aber weil man ja irgendwo anfangen muss, haben wir in diesem Magazin 12 Eigenschaften ausgewählt, auf die Sie in Berlin treffen können: gestern, morgen, früh, spät, echt, groß, klein, rot, roh, schnell, dunkel, weit. Und wenn Sie es darauf anlegen, sogar an einem Tag. Das wird vielleicht etwas: anstrengend, stressig, viel. Macht aber auch: froh, zufrieden, glücklich. Berlin ist nämlich: laut, schnell, aufregend.

  • Nhow Berlin – Stay for Music Lifestyle Hotel with a Special Focus on Music, Located Directly on the River Spree
    PRESS INFORMATION nhow Berlin – Stay for Music Lifestyle hotel with a special focus on music, located directly on the river Spree After Milan, Berlin is the second location chosen for a nhow hotel. The creativity, dynamism and urban lifestyle of the city on the Spree are in keeping with the innovative concept of the lifestyle brand of NH Hoteles. nhow Berlin is the only hotel in Europe to offer two professional music studios. Berlin, April 2012 – Design, art and above all music are the determining features of nhow Berlin, which opened its doors to its first guests in November 2010. The architect of the building is Sergei Tschoban, the interior design bears the signature of star designer Karim Rashid; the lobby and outside area have been designed as a dynamic space solution, offering local and international artists an exhibition venue in alternation. No other hotel in Europe has anything to compare with the nhow Music Sound Floor. Above the roofs of the capital, creative musicians will find two mixing studios here that meet the highest international standards. The emphasis on music was not a difficult choice, seeing that nhow Berlin is situated between Universal and MTV, right next to Berlin’s East Side Gallery on the Spree. Countless clubs are to be found close by, as well as The Mercedes-Benz Arena, the biggest concert and event venue in Berlin. nhow stands for a new generation of hotels, developed by NH Hoteles. Unconventional, life- affirmative, constantly in movement, locally rooted while at home anywhere in the world – an idea, in other words, corresponding to lifestyle of the new creative class.
