After applying to over 25 offices in Hamburg and 1 in Koeln, and having 5 interviews, I finally found an internship Höhler + Partner: http://www.hoehler-partner.de/.
I have been there for two weeks so far. The office is spacious and my colleagues are all nice and my sponsor is very helpful in explaining all my tasks. So far I've been organizing folders of construction drawings (like the ones we learn how to do in Building Construction III) and also learning about the different types of walls in a building, and calculating the areas and volumes of materials on each floor (Beton, stahl..etc.) The language we communicate in is German, but if I don't understand than we find a way to either draw it out of look it up online or find the explanation in English. In the next weeks I will accompany my colleagues to the Baustelle to see what's going on with my eyes and sit in on meetings with the Bauherr to see how meeting are carried through with the client.
So far its been a nice change from university and the work days go by so quickly! I will write another update soon :)
