What makes the 'Queen City' - as it is also called - so appealing, especially for German entrepreneurs and top managers? The noise is not felt in the city of Charlotte.В Here is tradition, which is also German.В Founded in 1867, the city and the surrounding region, County Mecklenburg, are named after Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the German wife of the English King George III.В And the city and region owe their rise primarily to German companies and managers.В And there are more and more.ДЄccording to the Handelsblatt, several other German companies from the food industry, mechanical engineering and the automotive industry are ready.В It only leaves the uncertain US economic policy waiting for better times.В Also within the US lures the city.В For example, the packaging specialist Pester from Wolfertschwenden in the AllgГ¤u moves its US branch from New Jersey to Charlotte.

More than 50 of them pass his German and American flags.В They populate dining, living and fireplace rooms, eat roast beef, pasta and brownies and drink Rhineland-Palatinate wine.В German and English are spoken.В And it's about shops, shops, shops - and of course the German-born US President Donald Trump.Д¬harlotte, this 850,000-inhabitant city, whose name many of those present did not know until recently, is one of the fastest-growing business locations in the USВ .В The list of German companies that have an office here is long, exactly.В It contains the who's who of the German economy.В So are half the DAX and MDAX representedВ - with BayerВ , BASFВ , German post office, railway and LufthansaВ , DaimlerВ , HochtiefВ , LanxessВ , SiemensВ , Thyssen-KruppВ .В 90 miles away, in Spartanburg, has also the carmaker BMWhis 11,000-employee plant for the X models.В In addition there are significant, unlisted companies such as BoschВ , SchaefflerВ and ZFВ as well as many smaller companies.

It is the home of Klaus Becker and his wife Concha.В He has been the honorary consul of GermanyВ in CharlotteВ for seven yearsВ .В An office that he fills with physical strength and warmth of heart.В Just as he once made his money trading in steel, so the 66-year-old looks after the transatlantic relationshipВ with similar energyВ .В He has been living in Charlotte for 40 years.В With his 'NC Zeitgeist Foundation,' Becker is something like the father of a German-American economic dream in North Carolina.
