The QF was born. It has a distinctive look and an individual character. A vision for people, who value quality and excellent service, became reality. The QF is growing with experience and people who live here and work here, and who fill its space with creativity, joy and atmosphere. The QF is slowly growing out of its baby shoes. Five years have passed. We still remember when the foundation stone was laid on October 23, 2004, the topping out ceremony in 2005 and the opening in 2006. Thousands celebrated this birth and saw the big, blue letters above the construction site, the ones that have become a trademark today: QF. On October 21, 2011, the QF is celebrating its birthday. Tom Roeder will take over the organization and production of the celebrations again. Arturo Prisco will hold interviews with media personalities such as Heike Haag from Madame, Michael Werner from the Textilwirtschaft, Peter Polte, president of the European Fashion Institute, but also with regional journalists such as Katrin Saft from the Sächsische Zeitung to talk about Dresden’s elegance. One thousand guests from the media, political and economic sectors have been invited to celebrate. You, too, could be a part of it all. Take part in our contest (p. 11) and win two tickets to this event.
But that’s not all! Starting on October 22, 2011, and continuing on until the end of the year, customers of the QF will be able to benefit from a variety of promotions, events and surprises. Read more on this on pages 4-9, where the QF Shopping Card is presented. All residents and visitors to Dresden are cordially invited.
