New giant poster on the EuroAirport control tower

On 23 June 2010, EuroAirport unveiled its new giant poster on the control tower in the presence of Julian Würtenberger, district president of Freiburg im Breisgau, Dr. Bernd Dallmann, CEO, Freiburg Wirtschaft Touristik und Messe GmbH (FWTM), Jean-Pierre Lavielle, president of the Board of Directors EuroAirport and Eduard Belser, vice-president.

The new 14 by 7 metre giant poster highlights EuroAirport’s role as a strategic gateway to the city of Freiburg and the nearby Black Forest, as well as the importance of Germany for the activities on the airport platform. Along with EuroAirport, FWTM, as an enterprise promoting business and tourism, also wishes to send out a clear signal, emphasising the identity of Freiburg and the cooperation that exists in the Upper Rhine region.

The new giant poster displays traditional motifs: the spire of Freiburg’s cathedral, as an emblem of the city, and a lady in traditional costume, conveying the geographical proximity and close ties with the Black Forest. The title “Green City” refers to the city’s innovative strength in terms of sustainable development. This is because Freiburg, finalist in the European Green Capital Award 2009, has long been one of Europe’s model municipalities. Around 25,000 predominantly international specialists visited the city in 2009 alone to learn about ecology “Made in Freiburg”.
