Tainan, Taiwan, April 19th, 2010
Mayor Stefan Wolf of Weimar City, Germany, led a delegation to visit National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan, on April 19th. On behalf of President Michael Ming-Chiao Lai, Senior Executive Vice-President Da-Hsuan Feng expressed his sincere welcome. Both parties exchanged ideas on culture and expected to develop a cooperative relationship on urban planning, architecture design and mechanical engineering.
It was the first time Mayor Stefan Wolf, City Council President Sylvia Sippach, Director of Information Services, Municipal Government, Friedrich von Klinggarff, President of Bauhaus-Universität Weimar Gerd Zimmermann, Vice-President of The Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music Helmut Well and Prof. Tiago de Oliveira Pinto to visit Taiwan. Senior Executive Vice-President Da-Hsuan Feng briefly introduced the history of NCKU, the important site of Southern Fujian Culture, and explained that NCKU has a very solid technical foundation and many precious experiences to share with Weimar City.
Senior Executive Vice-President Feng said, “NCKU has College of Engineering, College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and College of Planning and Design, as well as 500 faculty members in the three colleges. Students in these colleges occupy about 60% of the entire student body. With the outstanding design achievements in NCKU and the excellent performance of Bauhaus-Universität Weimar on urban planning, urban renewal and architecture, we have many opportunities for future cooperation.”
President Gerd Zimmermann expressed, “Weimar is a city which mainly focuses on technology and humanities. Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is an institution which values art design and science technology, more specifically, humanities and engineering science. We also devote to the field research of media information, civil engineering and mechanics. NCKU is very strong in the field of technology. I look forward to work with NCKU on the related fields in the future.”
The German Weimar City delegation will visit NCKU Department of Architecture, have lunch with Tainan Mayor Tain-Tsair Hsu and visit Tainan Technology Industrial Park later on April 19th. They will also visit cultural and economic constructions such as National Palace Museum, Ju Ming Museum and Taipei 101.
