Once you decide to live in another country you always should be open to learn the language that is spoken there. YouŽd not just make your lady happy, but everybody else, too!
@ saigor
I remember that a part of the Irish bunch that went to Germany DID work in lower airspace, too! And none of them was fluent in German!

Mmm... I'm really fighting with myself. Don't know what to do.
As I've already said I really like Munich, you guys in Munich ACC and I also like the way we use to work together. So I would not be scared to move "up there", and honestly I'm thinking about working somewhere else. Just for have some experience abroad. I mean... between Abano Terme and Munich there's only the Alps!!!!

That's the reason for writing 'almost mandatory'.
But as far as i remember there was only one of the bunch of irish controller who actually got a license in the lower sector.
Anyone of that bunch may correct of course, been wrong on my first guess
A bit of basic german would help anyway i think.

So therefore of course when DFS opened slots for foreign controllers well everybody assumes that the placement will be in Karlsruhe or maybe Bremen (i think that is were the north UAC is right???).
North-western German upper airspace is controlled by Eurocontrol at Maastricht.

What is the golf like around Karlsruhe? It seems like there are a few nice courses, do many of the controllers play?
)BTW there's a RR golf-team as well.....

Are the DFS approach control units physically located within the control centre buildings in Bremen, Langen, Karlsruhe, Munich and Maastricht?

In your opinion... a non-german speaking atco will be employed only in the UAC? Or maybe there's the chance to be assigned also in Munich?
I mean... I work in Abano Terme and during the summer I go to Jesolo... both places are full of blonde german girls... something I've learned!!
Habt ihr einen Zigaretten? Und Feuerzeug? Danke! Du bist schon! Ich liebe dich!
Is that enough??????

And well good luck to everyone that applied and i hope for the best for all of you. I'm sure DFS will be a great place to work and i already know by experience its a great place to live.
Thanx people!!!!

Had mine yesterday. Exactly the same feeling I got. 25 to Langen and 15 to Karlsruhe was what I was told. They were definitely pushing me towards the low-level sectors!
Not really what I was expecting/wanting.

I don't mind being public......I don't speak German (seemed to be a problem to the interview team - which I understand). They talked about attending the College at Langen for 5 months to do a low-level course.
To be honest, I didn't feel that a discussion about salary was appropriate at this juncture. An assessment day at Langen was mentioned.
