Helmut Koprian, ECE Projektmanagement G.m.b.H. & Co.KG, director of the Centermanagement (ECE is besides TLG the main investor of the Altmarkt-Galerie Dresden): One time captain, than director of a circus and one time a proud rider ...
 
ARE YOU AN ARCHITECT? No, also if I look like one. I´m a trader and management director of  the ECE for all the European objects and I´m the director of the sector Centermanagement. And certainly I´m taking influence on the architecture. 
WHERE ARE YOU FROM? I´m living in Hamburg for 10 years. 
WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU? It is important to me answering honestly the questions I have been asked. You will be catched up with dishonesty.  
A second important point is handling with people. They should feel, that you make yourself responsible for them. And if they will experience that, you will act in unison.E
WHAT ABOUT DRESDEN? Dresden is a wonderful capital and has charme. 
In the centre it can still happen many new things. Free lots still exists on which new buildings could show "that is a capital" in a even more significant way.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR WORK? My work in allover Germany and Europe is like this, as you would be the captain of a luxury liner. Or a circus director. Or a proud rider for dressage on the back of his horse.
FUTURE? My contract of employment will end in 7 years, when I will be 60 years old, and that I don´t want to believe. I´m thinking over, what to do then? But I believe, that you can exercise a profession like this one, which is for me hobby and fascination, endless.
WHICH QUESTION YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE ASKED? Why I´m looking so satisfied.
