We at thyssenkrupp AG, in the following also “thyssenkrupp,” “we,” or “us,” appreciate when you use our beautiful headquarters to spruce up your Instagram feed. Based on your creative poses and pictures, we created our project called “Quartiermoment,” where we want to hand over the big stage. 

Therefore, we may ask if you permit us to use your images (User-generated content) on our Instagram channel. If we decide to use your images with your permission, we will include your username in the post's text.
