German-Qatar Friendships Wiesbaden
Wiesbadener Int. Pfingstturnier 6.- 9. Juni 2014
Die Verwunderung war vielerorts groß als der Wiesbadener Reit- und Fahr-Club Anfang Februar erklärte: Unser neuer Hauptsponsor ist die Reiterliche Vereinigung Katar (Qatar Equestrian Federation, QEF). Auf der heutigen Pressekonferenz in Wiesbaden erklärten der Präsident der QEF, Hamad bin Abdulrahman Al Attiyah, und Christine Stibi-Fay, Expertin für deutsch-arabische Beziehungen, die selbst viele Jahre in den Emiraten als Projektmanagerin arbeitete und lebte, ihre Ziele: „Das Ziel des ersten deutsch-katarischen Freundschaftsprojekts ist auf der einen Seite, die Förderung der sportlichen Entwicklung von Nachwuchs- und Profireitern aus Katar mit Blick auf internationale Championate. Auf der anderen Seite möchten wir mit diesem Konzept, neue Brücken bauen. Wir wollen den direkten Dialog fördern, zu mehr interkulturellem Verständnis inspirieren, für den Aufbau von neuen Partnerschaften begeistern und vor allem für mehr Freundschaften zwischen den Nationen und Kulturen werben.”
Hamad bin Abdulrahman Al Attiyah ist seit 2011 Präsident der QEF. Die QEF selbst wurde 1979 gegründet. Erklärtes Ziel des Vorstandes unter dem Vorsitz des Präsidenten Hamad bin Abdulrahman Al Attiyah und dem Generalsekretär Khalid bin Safar Al Hajri ist die Teilnahme bei den Olympischen Spielen in Rio de Janeiro 2016. Das Engagement der QEF besteht nicht nur aus einem hohen fünfstelligen Betrag, sondern viel mehr auch aus interkulturellen Dialogaktivitäten im Rahmenprogramm des PfingstTurniers. Zudem werden einige Spitzenreiter aus Katar mit ihren besten Pferden beim PfingstTurnier an den Start gehen. Und der Präsident der QEF hatte noch eine Überraschung mit nach Wiesbaden gebracht. Auf sein bereits vertraglich besiegeltes Engagement hat er noch einmal 25.000 Euro draufgelegt, von dem die Hälfte dem Preisgeld im Großen Preis zugefügt und die andere Hälfte an die Stiftung der deutschen Krebshilfe gespendet werden soll. Die Vertreter des WRFC waren ebenso überrascht wie begeistert von dieser spontanen ‚Zugabe’.
Das Wiesbadener PfingstTurnier verbindet all das, was sich die Katari für ihre Ziele erhofften: Ein traditionelles Turnier mit sehr hohem gesellschaftlichem Stellenwert und erstklassigem Sport.
Freuen sich über ihre neue Zusammenarbeit – v. li. vom Wiesbadener Reit- und Fahr-Club der Vize-Präsident Dr. Hanns-Dietrich Rahn und die Präsidentin Kristina Dyckerhoff, Wiesbadens Oberbürgermeister Sven Gerich, der Präsident der Qatar Equestrian Federation Hamad bin Abdulrahman al Attiyah und Christine Stibi-Fay, Office for German-UAE-Qatar-Relations

Pfingstturnier Katar-Deal hat Signalwirkung
German - Qatar bridgebuilder visions given during the previous International Wiesbadener Horsefestival "Pfingstturnier" and final discussions during my business trip to Doha for the Worldcup Qualifier show jumping event in last December 2013 with my friends and mission supporters from Qatar Hamad Al Atteya and Hamad bin Abdulrahman Al Attiyah (the president of Qatar Equestrian Federation) as well as Mr. Khalid bin Safer Al Hajri (QEF general secretary) are following now facts and an unique agreement:
Qatar Equestrian Federation president Mr. Hamad bin Abdulrahman Al Attiyah signed last wednesday officially an unique main sponsor ship agreement with the horseshow organizer in Wiesbaden.
The Wiesbadener Reit- und Fahrclub. The main patronat is named “Qatar – German Friendships”.
The aim of our 1st "German - Qatar Friendship Project" is on one side to support the futrherdevelopment of QEF sport and QEF riders on their challenging way to great international heights. On the other side to increase new direct dialog and to inspire for a more cultural understanding, more economic- strategic partnerships and most importantly more friendship between different cultures and our nations!
We developed, discussed and created together based on some of my previous projects ( "City of Arabia Night" in Frankfurt and Dortmund and the "UAE Friendship Reception" during GCT in Monaco)
a truly innovative concept :
Premium sport and communication aspects.
The prestigious engagement of QEF in Wiesbaden is the first main sponsorship ever in Qatar equestrian sport here in Germany. As a site effect the prestigious function will guarantee the city of Wiesbaden in the other part of the world a greater tourism interesst cause of the extensive media exposure - and Qatar in our part of the world vice versa.
So far Qatar Equestrian and Racing enthusiast had been always concentrating and focusing premium race events in european countries.
For me as the Owner of the Office for German – UAE – Qatar Relations , but as a horselover and former GCC horseshow co - organzier (in Abu Dhabi and Ajman) a dream comes true at the moment ! I had been always passionate in developing innovative concepts and passionate in advising and managing challenging projects no matter in which sections: but with this agreement ,which is unique and complete we will add a new value and create something meaningful for all involved parties.
I deeply thank my friends in Qatar!
The board of directors as well as the Lord Major from Wiesbaden are now truly looking forward welcoming QEF officials, riders and visitors from Qatar in the historic castlepark near the river rhine during 6- 9th of June .
A press conference will be arranged in Wiesbaden in the house of the Lord Major in Wiesbaden , with the Lord Major of the city of Wiesbaden Mr. Sven Gerich giving a welcome speech as the host.
The president of Qatar Equestrian Federation will join personally the function end of February. Shukran once more again to all my involved friends in Qatar and Qatar Equestrian Federation.
It is a mile stone in equestrian sport. We do wish all your riders from Qatar here in Wiesbaden success and all officials and visitors from Qatar an enjoyable stay in Wiesbaden.
We will build new bridges in sport, cultural understandings and communication between two nations and cultures. That´s what we all want.
Our mission is "German - Qatar Friendships" to create new dialog on site during the event, support the riders and we will enjoy watching a world class show and top equestrian sport.
Together with 70.000 delighted horse show visitors.

The new year starts with a new Initiative :
Qatar Tourism Authority had been delighted to hear from the meaningful "Cooking is cool" kids - to kids book and campagin and decided to invite Valentin for the first time officially to come to Doha in March: to get in Dialog with local kids every day during Qatar International Food Festival 2013 (download keyfacts QIFF ) , organized from Qatar Tourism Authority, co - partnered from Qatar Airways.
All Images from all actual and previous events :click to FACEBOOK Cookingiscool be healthy - be fit
QTA shares the vision of the teenager to create in a new approach more interest not to go too much for Fast Food and to motivate kids for more Quality Food and a more own responsibility in early age to grow up and eat healthy !
Valentin will be holding his interviews / demonstrations / booksignings / chats in the Qatar Airways Cooking Theatre . The venue of the giant Food Festival will be at the Corniche in Doha in front of the beautiful Islamic Museum.
Therefore we are with our early stage supporters at the moment in a final stage to finish the development of a second book version - tailormade and personalized for Qatar Food Festival : including more prominent prewords adressed to the youth , such as from the Minister of Germany for Kids and Youth, a board member of the International Horse Show in Wiesbaden and from Valentins older sister and international show jumping rider Theresa , cause sport and healthy food are going together.
The Food Festival in general together with the edutainment event programm from Valentin for the kids, fully organised and sponsored from Qatar Tourism Authority and Qatar Airways will strengthen education on healthy quality food to the children of Qatar and to inspire them to eat better food.
The mission adressed to the youth:
You can only be a champion - but you have to be fit!
The mission adressed to the community:
We can only reach all our countries Master Plans and Sport Aims with a fit and healthy next generation.
Getting in dialog together with teenagers or chatting from child to child and working on meaningful themes, such as healthprevention , creates also an atmosphere of happiness. Health and Happiness are going together.
If you are in the situation to earn your money on one side , but you also create some meaningful initiatives for the human benefit you feel never bored or tired. Senseful work which adds value somehow, is similar like you do a charity: it gives also a lot of positive energy back !
So see you -Inshallah - in March at the Food Festival 2013 in Qatar!

Thank you to all those who have supported and understand the vision of “Friendship as a value” and supported me to spread out the Cross Over Message for more culture understanding, new ideas and new dialog between the arab und the western communities. 2012 was a great year, despite I promised my self to work in the future only on very selected and rare but fair and meaningful projects - cause I had to learn in 2012 also a big lesson : the lesson that some people in the world nearly do everything for “Gier” greed and avarice and for money. With production of false evidences and forgetting given words and agreements. Fraudulent concealment of results. threats, improper, both for money in damages and for criminal proceedings for what was is so called slander, and try to ruin long term close contacts. I will forgive them - but not forget their names. And I am sure money can´t buy happiness and of course never satisfaction in the heart.
Closing this sad chapter with day one in the new year 2013 does also mean for me not spending more energy and costs and not for the “past”, but spending energies for today and tomorrow´s challenges and new tasks with good hearted people, who truly deserve good energy and advise and who are correct in business and in live. Even without contracts and written agreements.
A given word in the arab world is a given word. And if you not respect others, you can not expect to be respected from others.
I grow up in a family and business surrounding with values, a believe and learned the meaning of “given words” from my grandfather (in germany this business ethics are so called “ehrbarer Kaufmann” behaving.)
The biggest honor, you can do to a human being , if you trust him.
Die größte Ehre, die man einem Menschen antun kann, ist die, dass man zu ihm Vertrauen hat. (Matthias Claudius).
This saying reached me in my hardest time. It had been so meaningful: so I do wish you too for 2013 always good and trustful, correct people around you in business and in private live.
And I hope to be able to inspire and motivate some special persons, companies or authorities to join in some projects , adding ideas and my passionate bridge building vision: to bring people together parallel to projects in communication - local, national or international. No matter.
Dialog reduces always a lack of information. New Dialog identifies opportunities.
Dialog brings also more understanding. More Dialog will also bring peace.
Have a very happy, blessed new year coming soon and all the very best for you and your family.
Hamad Al Atteya (QATAR) during his first visit in my office and home in Wiesbaden in August 2012 - explaining (in english) our combining story and bridgebuilder visions of him and me. Our aims and goals bringing the nations together in dialog through sport.
The short Introduction from me is in german speach. His speach is in english. (4 minutes )
For the third year it had been a pleasure to initiate again with supporters a unique "Get-together" Incentive in the VIP Area by arranging a dynamic and innovative Table - Talk and new dialog : at all four days for around 25 local, national and international guests from sports, health, education, business, science and creative thinkers - parallel the "International Horseshow" came together .
The "Pfingstturnier" in Wiesbaden, in the capital of the state of Hessen is without any doubt one of the
TOP 3 ranked, prestigious horseshow and societyevent in Germany with a history of 76 years.
A relaxing atmosphere in the beautiful, romantic, green castlepark to build bridges between different cultures, nationalities and people .
"If I can inspire and initiate with my non-mainstream new dialog table - talk new interessting Get-Together, which enables them to identify synergies or new opportunities and help in general for more cultureunderstanding and friendship in the world, than it gives an atmosphere to create something meaningful, which deeply touchs the heart."
To reduce the lack of information is just a small puzzlestone in a big puzzle, but it makes all involved happy and helps to support a big puzzle :
A puzzle called FREEDOM and CULTUREUNDERSTANDING."

30 th November - 5 o clock in the morning in Abu Dhabi...
Heavy wind at the balcony from my hotel room at 18th floor facing the see, having a first cup of coffee:
I am preparing for checking out at 6.30 am flying back to Germany at 9.10 am with the wonderful airline ETIHAD , where I recieved the status of being a Gold Member in spring 2011 for loyal booking and flying thousands of miles back and forth from UAE to germany and vice versa.
Behind me are ten days challenging meeting preparations, table talks and personal introductions for two executive board members from LMM / Liechtenstein .
LMM – a company with a truly needed comtrolling service in these days:
Experienced experts, offering Investment controlling for their clients, independent, worldwide neutral money monitoring and reporting service . LMM is consulting and controlling, independent from Banks - wich is a true added value not only for prospective clients in the arab part of the world, also for worldwide highnet individuals, institutional investors, companies, goverment, pension funds or private family offices.
In all five years of my bridgebuilding communication in business and sports, I identified this special niche service so far as the greatest added value for financial affairs: by creating with the controlling and the independent consulting, more safety and more transparency, discovering bank faults and negative developments, comparing bank performances, saving money , securing sustainable wealth and contributing to the progress of the actual nervous bank times.
It had been a very interesting business trip .
But furthermore this last visit to Abu Dhabi in 2011 had been unforgettable for me in other ways too. I had been accompanied from my 24 year old daughter Theresa, who had lived here in Abu Dhabi and Ajman for nine years as well – a dedicated and talented, stylish show jumper with wins and placings in germany and UAE till the highest jumping competitions, who finished recently successfully her studying with the Bachelor of Arts in International Management.
She had been so much looking forward for her journey in the weeks before. Theresa met a lot of friends from UAE, Saudi- Arabia and Qatar again and you could see her face smiling - when she had been asked , considering coming back to Abu Dhabi one time for working in global communication or alternatively finishing her studies with the Master Degree . So it had been great to stay with her in our 2nd home country again and after my meetings finished, we explored some former famous places ( like the Hilton - Corniche ), where she used to swim as small kid after school , end of the nineties.
She is so kind and beautiful , but wherever we attend together, they consider us as sisters or friends.
Alwayas when Theresa called me "Mama" , they watched at us and not believed , so we had great fun with that. In general it had been such a special, rare time for both of us, coming back together, a time which we will keep in our hearts each november.
- On the other side, I faced again the most disappointing ( european ) former business partner , I dealt with since my Office founding in 2005. If you are following the news regulary, you may recognize that I am an extremely motivated positive and hard working, focussed person, (and not at all into gossip), who always want to reach the maximum for the business partners, never giving up – cause business development is always an up and down. Or like a puzzle, where you have to add constantly a lot of small stones together , approaching and identifying the right people from Abu Dhabi /UAE, which are open and enthusiastic and who had been asked from me, if they are wiling to help, to give additional inputs and using there influence and (inner - family) relations within Abu Dhabi as well to make it happen.
If in the end the european did finally reach the aim, signing in Abu Dhabi , and then “this partner and friend” trying to keep the initial initiator of important key table talks, where introduction had been made - later in the dark with reduced or delayed communication or playing games and doing really everything , NOT to pay the agreed amount, you think you are in a bad movie.
Who ever dealt with businesspartners, who are breaching given words and clear agreements, moreover fraudulent breach of contracts – trying to fool others , arranging "settlements" , based on lies - you will definetly understand what I am talking about .
There is a saying in the arabic world : A given word is a given word.
Maybe this "Gentleman" is only one of an example for unethical behaviour , which happens every day in the business world in all countries. But in general some of them, who acted opportun and not correct and whos pockets are now filled with a lot of money for the next years, will regret later in life, what they have done with good and rare true loyal partners. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe at 24th of December 2012. Maybe in a couple of years.
But one fact is sure: they have to look every day in the mirror.
If you not respect others, and only take and not give in true FAIR PLAY, you will be not respected and not considered as correct also from others. So time will come. You always see each other twice in life. But to appoint lawyers, filing a case or considering going to court means spending good energy and money for negative topics and wasting time for people, who not deserves you. Especially it hurts- if you did an outstanding bridge building job , initiate a lot of first initial meetings to set the fire and awareness , creating a dynamic and bringing more supporters in good sprit in the same boot, again like in a puzzle – and then in the moment of his success - you discover the true face and bad character of the “partner”.
For lawyers nothing unusual - just like daily bred.
But I am not a lawyer and I just want to treat people, with all my respect and in fairness .
A given word is a given word in the arabic world. In germany you may call it: "Ehrbarer Kaufmann"
For me a dream, who became reality - is not anymore excisting - a dream - became a nightmare for me.
I stated one time in a magazine (see Media) : "I am not important, my work is important" - which means I do not have "EGO" - but if good work is very successful, you have to stand for YOUR success and to ask for your right, standing to what both agreed in GIVEN WORDS and agreements. Trust, Loyality and Fairness are key elements in dealing with each other.
Not more not less - just what once had been agreed in the beginning.
However this special story in life will end - I leave today Abu Dhabi with good emotions : One reason is coming back to the persons I love dearly, preparing for christmas , decorating the tree with the kids, going to church with my family and looking forward to 2012 with the inner feeling that in these days in Abu Dhabi one of the most promising, innovative future projects was born and a phantastic new concept had been created in our discussions.
The wind still not better , so I expect a turbulent flight back to Frankfurt and afterwards heading to Berlin to the UAE embassy for the UAE national Day. Celebrating 40 years Spirit of the Union.
UAE National Day 40 years SPIRIT OF THE UNION
Whole Abu Dhabi is prepared for the UAE National Day with lights and laser shows, huge national flags everywhere, and for example 40 UAE cakes and 40 dates decoration baskets placed in the lobby of the Emirates Palace Hotel, Pins and T-Shirt s are printed, all newspaper are reporting about the full development of the nation till today.
The UAE National Day is an important day for all of us. Cause the country has prospered and developed remarkably in the last 40 years. The national integrity, the pace of economic development, the geographical strategic position and the visions of the rulers, places UAE among the most rapidly developing countries in 21st centuries.
Wishing the very best to UAE in its future pursuits of achievements. I am a very committed person, that’s why travelling to Berlin straight away to join the UAE National Day Reception in germany at the beautiful UAE embassy is without any question a pleasure.

Meeting in Abu Dhabi,
Sehr geehrte Frau Stibi,
nach den langwierigen Vorbereitungsgesprächen mit unseren arabischen Geschäftspartnern in Deutschland und dem abschließenden Meeting in Abu Dhabi vom 21. bis 25. November 2010, bedanken wir uns für Ihr Engagement und vor allem für Ihr Einfühlungsvermögen in der Sache sowie gegenüber allen Partnern, sehr herzlich.
Sie haben für uns als Kommunikator und Brückenbauer gewirkt! Dabei war unserereseits leicht feststellbar, dass Ihre exzellenten Kontakte bis hin zu echten Freundschaften mit wichtigen Entscheidungsträgern in der arabischen Welt schwer zu überbieten sind.
Ihre Energie und Schaffenskraft, welche Sie mit Elan und Freude am Thema und gegenüber den Menschen positionieren, ist für uns – nach vielen Gesprächen mit sogenannten "Vermittlungsagenten" – außergewöhnlich und kaum zu überbieten.
Ihre Freundschaft zu "Seiner Excellenz Sheikh Nahayan bin Mubarak Al Nahayan" ermöglichte uns eine kurzfristige Audienz im Palast. Ihre ungezwungene Art und Ihr herliches Auftreten während dem Gespräch mit Seiner Excellenz hinterließ bei uns einen sehr tiefgreifenden Eindruck!
Im Dubai Magazin April - Juni 2007 wurden Sie "Business-Botschafterin des Herzens" genannt. Auch diese besondere Auszeichnung in der arabischen Welt können wir nur bestätigen.

Dear Christine,
As Owner & Founder of the Office for German – UAE Relations you have been appointed by me, as an external Business Development Advisor for the United Arab Emirates.
iOpener is a multi-award winning organisation, headquartered in Aachen (Germany). Backed by a seasoned venture capitalist iOpener is active in the games and motorsports industries. The company is shaping up to become the leader in providing and facilitating real-time data into a wide spectrum of applications.

iOpener is constantly exploring new creative ways in using new technologies to improve the user/consumer experience, skills, and awareness in both the real and virtual world. Though the focus of the group is on its main product: the iOpener Enabled feature.
Aims and goals you and I had discussed and pointed out, before we started our first business trip together, has been more than fullfilled today. You initiated and arranged for me all direct “Face-to-Face talks” with leading Executives, Managing Directors, Chairmans and strategic keypersons to important personalities in the economic societies in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman; we had selected meetings from morning till evening. Furthermore I benefitted from your understanding of the culture, religion, mentality and social etiquette of the Arab nations and your different approach and creative ideas because of your longterm, deep and trustful friendship with members of the UAE society. You also have been a great mental help for me, because of your outstanding positive and highly selfmotivated personality and a true bridegbuilder in all business development stages.
Again I would like to thank you for your exemplary efforts since we met and look forward working together with you in the future. With your help iOpener has reached the point where we are at the moment faster.
Me and my team can only recommend your connecting and networking service, and your professional business development advise with and in the United Arab Emirates.
Stay independent, authentic and the way you are.
Kind regards
Andy Lürling
Group President/Founder iOpener Media GmbH
On 1st November history had been made in the UAE with the inaugural of Formula 1, promising to be the biggest event in Middle East, and it is the year UAE’s capital Abu Dhabi truly arrived on the global stage. With an TV audience of more than 600 million viewers, I am sure also some of the Germans did watch – and are now delighted from Abu Dhabi – Germans which 1995 shaked their heads, after hearing from our family aim to leave parttime Germany in the middle nineties and concentrate businesswise on this emirate. Despite the media awareness and hype of Dubai in these times, many asked 14 years ago: “Where is Abu Dhabi, what are you doing there?” So in a way still proud to gave an early stage commitment to Abu Dhabi and the whole UAE which became in all the years my second home country.
I write this sentences especially for all the (German) people, with USPs, but who always need to have a 100 % security when considering starting new chapters or opening new business fields. All I can say: You never will get a guarantee. But if you not try – which also means accept risks, accept the luxury of time in this part of the world, and especially the arabic mentality – and if you not invest in Abu Dhabi time, engagement and / or money – then better stay at home or come 15 years later. But then maybe it’s too late.
In the four weeks before the Formula One weekend I had to travel twice in October to Abu Dhabi, cause of discussing new own developed networking projects in Europe and in Germany for UAE in 2010. When I had been waiting at the Hilton Hotel for one meeting, I remembered how things changed here everywhere: “Hiltonia” had been a small nice Beach Club for Hotel guests and members before, now it is a huge complex with Fitness and Spa Temples. Or on my way to Ghantoot, Jebel Ali and Dubai: The Sheik Zayed Road from Abu Dhabi, is now surrounded with lots of blue ADNOC Filling Stations, combined with modern Multi Restaurant Complex and Coffee Shops. In 1995 beside the road you could see on the left and right side mens with bicycles, sitting under small umbrellas, selling friendly drinks and snacks … also still aware of the “Humps ahead” warnings or the cosy airport . Never dreamt of the new state of the art Airport, Terminal 3, of ETIHAD Airways (I fell totally in love since my first flight with ETIHAD the national Airline of UAE) Marina Mall, ADNEX, Emirates Palace Hotel which I book frequently since its opening with my German / European guests and networking partners.
Beside all my challenging work, the privileges and the various never boring tasks, creating business tourism and being a bridgebuilder and sometimes a mediator, beside all excitements about the Formula 1 and all superlatives, I still love most simple things or enjoy nice, little moments in life: Walking in the Kurpark with my children, or with friends in the autumn coloured forest of the Nerotal in Wiesbaden, fresh German bread with cheese, dancing Friday night with a special person, visiting my family at my birthplace and speaking to my childhood neighbours in a small village near Alzey / countryside, waking up with an early coffee. At the moment meeting energetic people, who also believe in the future (and not talking about the crisis).
Or in UAE: Having arabic Mezze, grilled Hammour with emirati friends, enjoying Shisha/Hubbly Bubbly and Maroccan Tea, sitting outside in the late afternoon hours in Abu Dhabi, ordering fresh “Lemon with mint” at the sunny beach, relaxing after long meetings and long days sitting in cooled conference rooms.
But wherever I am in these days: at the moment luck and joy is for me also a radio song … “Infinity”
If you did read my news from May you can imagine that end of June will be a time I am looking for so much, that a O.D.O. project I worked on and for so passionately will be realised:
A first engagement from Abu Dhabi parallel to a top world class event will take place during the Global Champions Tour, the “Formula 1 of the horses” in Monte Carlo, Monaco!
Thank you so much to my emirati friends in Abu Dhabi, Mr Abdulla Al Badi, Mr Saeed Mohammed Al Badi and his father, from the bottom of my heart!
Dankeschön und Shukran, we believe in the future of O.D.O.s and the friendship as a value and as a responsibility. I am already in a process to further develop the idea for the coming years. I am looking forward for new host cities or more companies, institutions or authorities from europe and the Middle East who like to highlight, support and furtherdevelop the vision of new international dialog in friendship and join as partners in new created networking and connecting projects from 2010 onwards parallel to existing sportsevents – for more friendship, new communication, and direct B2D contacts.
MY PASSION are " O.D.O´s " : Creating new ideas and full projectrealisationparallel to existing events
for your aims and your special international bridegbuilder visions between Germany Europe UAE Qatar
This chapter is on purpose not translated in German language, cause it is written in one down in the middle of a weekends night – after a crazy busy week filled with ups and downs.
Despite all negative media and some really scaring press reports about the worldwide crisis since month up to this week and despite some deep personal disappointments in my live, I decided and tried to continue working, developing new ideas and to be positive and focussed as much as I can.
I am also in a lucky position to have some really challenging commitments at the moment, businesswise – but maybe because of the additional mix of too, too much work in the last time, heavy travelling, many meetings, care and thoughts about my children, less sleep etc. it all resulted just three days before, that I had been sitting in a plane feeling tired and disappointed. Looking outside in the sun and the sky and listening the first 3 hours during the flight I guess 100 times the same songs “Patience” (Take That), “Liebe ist” (Nena), “Irgendwas bleibt” (Silbermond), “Relax” (Mika) and “JUMP” (Madonna) – through my headphones as loud as possible – in between from time to time with silent teardrops coming down. In the last hours I got calmer and calmer, better and better, not moving at all – cause it seems to me that an insight voice says clear to look forward, believe in values and to keep on going:
“Create and believe in your dreams. Never give up! Believe in love, in God and the good in people. Work hard but enjoy life.”
The first thing I did when I reached my office I placed a photoframe with the handwritten sentence:
“Create your dreams”
Believe in love, in God and in the good of people – this is written in my heart since ever … and I have beside my children some special persons in love in my heart.
“Work hard – but enjoy life!” (I do not have to write down, it’s written already, since the death of my mother, in big letters at my son’s room.)
And what happened? Just one day later: I recieved a phone call to rush to Munich, and surprisingly another okay came from Abu Dhabi that a long time, developed project and my proposal found supporter and came to a final agreement: Today it is too early to write about, but latest in May, it will be officially announced …
Still aware of the successful and hurting memories of the last days in my brain and soul. Feeling we are all not living in a hollywood movie, some roads we do not know why they came, when we reflect and where they will take us – but we have to be happy for all magic moments and thankful for the beautiful persons being in our life, but also to learn from the tough lessons our lives gives to us … the only thing I can say today to the ones, who followed my news up to this point:
Be positive. Be thankful.
Create and believe in your dreams. Start now.
Days and weeks to enjoy, relax and to spend with the very special persons in life … as well as kids, family and friends.
New address since summer 2008: Taunusstrasse 25 65183 Wiesbaden
Parallel with the end of the sommer month, I will be again a “Frequent flyer” mostly Frankfurt – Abu Dhabi – Frankfurt, initiating again various Business Development Trips to the United Arab Emirates.
In my thoughts during these flights are definitely my special business affairs. But also a private initiative keeps me not unaffected in my mind cause the start of the charity project will be soon official: during the unique olympic ballnight at the Kurhaus in Wiesbaden by September 27th 2008.
The so called: “Journey of the Goldfever Diamond”
Press Release:
The „Goldfever-Diamond“ ......
turns out to be an distinctively One-carat-diamond. Created in 2006, with a pure value of 10.000 Euro, made out of the carbon of the coat of the horse “Goldfever”, it has been produced through a special process to raise money for the benefit of German Cancer Aid (Deutsche Krebshilfe). “Goldfever” is the name of the successful horse, that helped Ludger Beerbaum to become a four-time Olympic winner. So as an prominent show jumper, he took over the sponsorship for this charity auction in favour of the German Cancer Aid, handing over this precious stone to Mrs Christine Stibi, the present owner since 2007 for her bid of 27,000.– Euro.
This diamond was produced in a special procedure, under the pressure of 55,000 bar and an surrounding temperature of 15,000 C, by Semper Fides Company.
It is known that about 436,000 people get ill by cancer every year. Every third family is affected by this sickness. Thie diagnosis “cancer” changes radically the life of a family from one day to another in a dramatic way. Ludger Beerbaum and I do know exactly about the suffering of those families. If you are a frequent reader of my news you will have the explanation what it is about my special dream and why we are so dedicated for the “Deutsche Krebshilfe”.
This is the idea – Join uns: buy and own this distinctively “stone full of life” for exact one year and support the German Cancer Aid by forwarding sale with the sum of your proceeds.
The name of each ‘one-year-owner’ will be carved into a silver plate, obliged with the possibility for a personal dedication for someone you are in love, you like to thank or someone you want to remember. So this diamond, including its especially created box, will be handed over personally from us to its new owner by end of this year.
Remarks from the Deutsche Krebshilfe:
For amounts the actual seller may earn from sales profit of this diamond, given to German Cancer Aid, a donation or tax receipt can be written out. If a business company should buy this diamond and wishes to publish this effective advertising as their exemplary engagement, the sum turned over to German Cancer Aid is to be seen as sponsor’s proceeds. So it can also be declared as operating expenditures instead of claiming a donation.
The unique, 1,0 carat diamond is to be sold by auction at the end of November at the highest bid . Aim to all parties is to achieve more attention in sense to preventive medical checkups, and also looking for generous, financial aid to be invested into campaigns of enlightenment and new diagnosis – and therapy activities.
Bids will be taken with a starting amount of at least 30,000 €.
Actual Closing date: November 24, 2008
Closing date for 2009 is: November 11, 2009
Bids for 2009 will be taken from at least the highest bid of 2008.

There is special feeling – a truly mix of emotions, but also believe, strength, responsibility and hope, not comparable with any other joyful moments in life, which is coming up if you raise money and support charity visions together with friends and hopefully new partners – which will share this project throughout the forthcoming years. There is a saying and two songs which are so suitatbe to express this emotion mix such as: “I’ll Fly With You” from Gigi D’Agostino, “Everybody’s Changing” from Keane and the German saying: “Give and forgive from your heart, this is the true secret of joy and happiness”
If you or your company likes to support our idea and project and is able to bid and to do so – please help. We invite you to be the next year’s owner and part of our unique “Horse Diamond Charity Journey” – Thank you and Dankeschoen.
Analogue to the continuing rising humidity in the UAE, an exiting manifold winter season found its end.
That seems to be the “pause” for most of the locals and my emirati friends during summer season, to spend for instance their holidays together with their families overseas, using it for medical treatments – or just for recreation. Another aspect to escape the hot temperatures of over 40 degree centigrade are the couple of months lasting school holidays ‘til beginning of September.
Immediate the Holy Month of Ramadan is following. To that extent I am offering my coming, individually created “business development tours” to interested European entrepreneurs after the Eid-Holidays, at the beginning of October, 2008. That’s the feast bringing the special holy month of the Islamic world to its festive end.
Nevertheless, the organizing or planning of my coming trips to UAE, but also the bridgebuilder service for business contacts won’t come to a standstill – only the travelling between UAE and Germany will definite rest.
So a change between tension and relaxation is due, since I’m just coming back to Wiesbaden with the impressions of my past journey to Abu Dhabi, visiting the Real Estate Fair called “City Scape”, which took place at the same time and also in the same Emirate.
It’s hard to put these experiences of this this mega event into right words: booked out hotels, where ever you’ve been asking, the Lobby café in the Emirates Palace those days remembered to be an oversized meeting room; waiting lines similar to pop concerts at the exhibition entrance; several exhibition stands had to be partly closed because of the crowd and the rush. Therefore the fair had to be extended one more extra day by an spontaneous “over night decision” – just to name one of a few examples …
Nevertheless, one will be well advised to take time for good conversations, after the biggest hectic during the day, the meetings and some “overheated moments” of the sun and temperature mixture – preferably in Arabian restaurants enjoying Hummos, Tabouleh, Fatoush, Hamour, Lemon with mint and dates – together with the locals and their families, and maybe friends. Showing a real interest to one’s vis-à-vis, are values of a corporate culture not as a purpose, purely for the values.
All this is rounded up by a late evening stroll at the beach of Corniche, because late at night you may walk unhesitatingly at the Corniche – yes, this also is Abu Dhabi.
Reflecting on this precious moments and with hindsight, I am looking with great pleasure on those small time-outs, which I’m taking there. Today already I know exactly, that I’m looking forward to my first flight back to the United Arab Emirates by the month of August.
After first adjustment, in Germany already the coming business theme nights called “Marhaba Lounge” taking place in Saarbruecken in coordination with the Chamber of commerce of the Saarland (another German federal state) beginning Februar 2009. It will be a personal mixture of a UAE Briefing, recommendation toward entering the market and also a field report about my positive experience by living and working 13 years in and with the UAE, since 1995 followed by background information concerning, “dos and don’ts” and some first cultural information and special UAE news of interessting UAE companies and UAE projects.
Another UAE Briefing wiil be given in December 2008 in Hessen, too.
While enjoying Arabian snacks in a pleasant atmosphere, a bow is bended over such an impulse-giving report, making room at the same time for educational, informative but also surprising and relaxing moments and meetings. If you happen to be interested in one of those UAE business development theme nights it is recommendable already today, to sign up obligatory via form of contact to our office to recieve concrete information like dates and locations.
Please notice that the number of participants will be limited.
Looking back at the second “Marhaba Lounge” in Wiesbaden, an interesting mixture of listeners was found like politicians, entrepreneurs, publisher, journalists, physicians, some in company with their wives. Also well known faces were spotted like:
Please have a look at the photos and see impressions: under Projects / UAE Briefings Marhaba Lounge
If you are in Germany please serious think to visit me here in Wiesbaden, the city is only 12 minutes from airport Frankfurt.
Wiesbaden ist recently voted as the number one city here in Germany in real estate: live quality, security etc. … I can ensure you:
Your family and you will not regret that visit!
Remember: One always must have someone or something to be delighted about … So: Enjoy your Holidays!
Between all my projects, business activities as well as business development trips in 2007 and 2008 I write today on behalf of something very special which comes from my heart:
I kindly ask for support regarding a special project to help all of us in the fight against cancer and to increase the efficiency for the “Deutsche Krebshilfe” (Canceraid).
Cancer can effect every day, every hour another family, no matter which country, which religion, if you are male or female, if you are rich or poor.
Like from one day to another in 2004 in my family …
Just one cancer story which shows: everything will change in life.
Maybe you already asked yourself during studying my UAE review:
“Which had been the reason why she left UAE and moved back to Germany?”
The answer: The diagnosis cancer of my mother Renate – the centre of our big family.
Still thinking that if this phone call never had taken place in 2004, where I received this unbelievable news from Germany, I still would be happy living in UAE, co-organising horseshows, advising, assisting or helping friends.
But I never regret in that time moving directly back to Germany, staying close to my family and my mother till she finally died. She lost the cancer fight after 2 operations and 3 chemotherapies just eleven month later. Giving her a promise not to loose my positive energy and to be more and more a bridgebuilder.
But more and more I feel the need and the task to creat something meaningful , to help and to support the fight against this disease. For that reason I bought the “Goldfever”-Diamond. But the wish from the very first moment when I owned him had been that this diamond will collect much more money, and for that reason denied that the beautiful diamond will not stay for the rest of my life in my home: Finding in the next coming years buyer and reseller as one year owner who also wish to help to support the fight against cancer illness is my aim and which will always transfer there “profit” = 100% of the balance amount is the aim.
So this is an invitation to you to be the next “one year owner” of the Goldfever Diamond –
Buy him for you, and dedicate the diamond: for somebody you love, for your company, for a wedding day or a birthday … or just to remember a special lucky day in your life.
If you are able to support the Goldfever-Initiative which started in 2007, join us.
Shukran, Dankeschoen and Thank you!

IT ALL STARTS 1995....
During a first visit to the UAE on the occasion of a fair in the early 1995, I had never dreamed of making my living right here in the UAE, an extreme dynamic and exciting environment: At that time in Dubai on todays Sheik Zayed Road with the World Trade Centre, only one skyscraper was placed. Furthermore in that time it tooks only 10 minutes to drive from the Emirate Sharjah to the Emirate Dubai. When the movement in 1997 to Abu Dhabis Corniche Road was completed, one never would have suspected, that just a few months later, I would take walks with my small two children at the splendour new huge coast street, which has been heaped up about 30 metres into the ocean.
No doubt I spent a great time, directly watching the development of the country and beeing part in the development of UAE horsesport (see photoimpressions: UAE Review)
Since the opening of my office for business development and international relations between Germany and UAE in 2005, I returned to Germany again. But being a regular Commuter and Pendulum between both countries, I get this feeling every time I enter the emirates that we few where 13 years ahead of the time! It had shown a clear commitment towards the UAE, with the move to UAE especially as a German, and I am proud of that, cause it had been not very common in that early stage.
In the shortest of time unbelievable things happened and still happen, in many sectors and fields and I am not talking only about the rapid building boom, being an visual indicator for economic spirit and development in one region. But one the other side between both countries there is still a lot of communication deficit and a lack of information, which leaves me not unaffected and untouched.
That is why I founded the business development office in Wiesbaden and that is the explanation for my “Passion for Innovation” with culture understanding, informative and educational projects like the “Marhaba Lounge” UAE presentation, theme evenings, lectures and UAE briefings and a special UAE promotion and communication campagins in germany like “Going business through horsesport“, Business Lounge and other projects. Cause of my longterm experience in UAE, I am hardly like any other German very close and familar with this country, which is my second home since 1995.
So do you probably think about investments, or are you looking for business contacts or brand awareness in the other country, are you looking for individual assistance or do you plan an entrance into the market, or even ideally you possess an unique selling proposition?
Leave cosy corners, especially if you wish to thematize your projects and products, your marketing or business development division likes to extend and spread out the communication of your facts – effectively – in the other part of the world. You know: nothing ventured, nothing gained! It is not too late. I take your brand outside.
