Description
The contribution of the Germans to the building of Singapore is as fascinating and multi-faceted as the development of the city-state itself. For the first time, the economic, political and cultural ties between Germany and Singapore are explored from their beginnings in 1822 to the present day.
Germans in Singapore: Stories from 200 years of friendship in an age of globalization sheds light on the dreams and daring, the life and work of the Germans in the equatorial city of Singapore. It is, however, not a history book, but a book full of stories that will arm the reader with indispensable cultural capital.
