Dans une ambiance détendue et conviviale, chacun cherchait à connaitre à l'aide des badges portant le nom de chaque collègue de travail (dont nous connaissions seulement la voix au téléphone) les visages encore inconnus de collaborateurs employés dans les autres filiales de Berlin, Dresde, Erfurt, Hambourg sans oublier évidemment Leipzig. L'équipe, désormais réunie au complet, et l'ensemble du personnel, se dirigeait maintenant vers le zoo de Leipzig.

Excited and elated, members of the team used one another’s name badges to seek out colleagues from Berlin, Dresden, Erfurt, Hamburg and of course Leipzig, in many cases previously known simply as a voice at the other end of the telephone. Invigorated, the team (with its numbers considerably swelled) set off for Leipzig Zoo. Anyone who thinks that a visit to the zoo has nothing to do with the construction industry is very much mistaken. In allotted groups, the tour guides told us all about the exotic creatures from Africa, Asia and South America and about the origins, maintenance and further development of the compounds, including the impressive tropical enclosure known as "Gondwanaland". Over a packed lunch, we reflected on our many impressions of the visit and on the information received and, refreshed and with our batteries recharged, we moved on to the subsequent city tour. Then there was still a little time remaining to partake in the recommended cup of coffee and a slice of "Leipziger Lerche". Of course, there was also time for a trip by tram through the Citytunnel, the construction of which had involved different departments as designers and engineers.
