The Bayer Berlin summer event is known for its relaxing & comforting atmosphere. Colleagues come together to network, laugh, and drinking one or two beers together.

BUT… The bravest and most dedicated souls among you have decided to embark on an adventure… Today marks the beginning of your journey which incorporates meeting incredible people along the way and, most importantly, enjoying the sensational atmosphere among colleagues and friends.

Der Weihnachtsmann lauschte an der Tür dem Meeting. Er spürte die Begeisterung und Hoffnung aller und war begeistert von diesem Engagement. Als die Teilnehmenden den Besprechungsraum verließen, ging er hinterher. Am Fuß der Treppe stolperte die junge Frau und verletzte sich den Fuß. „Ich bringe dich zum Betriebsärztlichen Dienst“, sagte der junge Mann und stützte sie. „Kann ich helfen?“, bot der Weihnachtsmann an, und gemeinsam brachten sie die junge Frau zur Ärztin. „Vielleicht liegt es an Ihren Augen, dass Sie gestolpert sind. Es gibt eine Zauberspritze, die die Augen wieder heil macht“, sagte der Weihnachtsmann zu der verletzten jungen Frau und verabschiedete sich. „Frohe Weihnachten!“ Santa Claus listened to the meeting at the door. He sensed everyone's enthusiasm and hope and was excited by their commitment. When the participants left the meeting room, he went after them. At the foot of the stairs, the young woman tripped and hurt her foot. "I'll take you to Occupational Medicine & Health," the young man said, supporting her. "Can I help?" offered Santa, and together they took the young woman to the doctor. "Maybe your eyesight is weakening, that is why you tripped. There is a magic injection that will make your eyesight strong again," Santa said to the injured young woman and said goodbye. "Merry Christmas!"

Energisch stiefelte der Weihnachtsmann durch die Gänge – natürlich nicht im roten Feiertagsmantel, sondern in dezenter Alltagskleidung. Diese Zauber-Spritze, die Rudolfs Augen geheilt hatte, musste er sich genauer ansehen. Schließlich entdeckte er einen Fahrstuhl, mit dem er das Foyer erreichte. Hier traf sich gerade eine Besuchergruppe, die die Forschung und Entwicklung besuchen wollte. Das klang genau richtig! Da wurden bestimmt Medikamente wie diese Zauberspritze erfunden! Der Weihnachtsmann folgte der Gruppe zum Gebäude S107 und dann durch verschiedene Labore. Die Arbeit der Wissenschaftler war wirklich faszinierend! Doch was war das? Beim Blick aus dem Fenster erspähte er durch seine Brille etwas Überraschendes. Energetically, Santa Claus strode through the floors - not in his red coat, of course, but in discreet everyday clothes. He had to take a closer look at this magic syringe that had healed Rudolf's eyes. Finally, he spotted an elevator, which he used to reach the foyer. A group of visitors was just meeting there to visit Research and Development. That sounded just right! They must have invented drugs like this magic syringe there! Santa followed the group to building S107 and then through various labs. The work of the scientists was really fascinating! But what was that? Looking out the window, he spied something surprising through his glasses.
