The cornerstone, weighing 700 kilograms, was laid just 28 months before the opening ceremony on July 18, 2001. Alongside the Mayor of Munich Christian Ude, the architect and the Board of Management, this ceremony was also attended by the Feng Shui advisor to the project. He explained, among other things, the basic principles of Feng Shui, some of which are already known in the West, and promised that the headquarters would bring the future employees "harmony and vitality."
