The day X a limit was in the focus of discussions this week. The previous customs border between Rhineland-Palatinate and the Saarland was moved to Forrbach, and now become the economic integration of the Saarland in the Federal Republic carried out. On the new border between France and Germany are the construction work still in progress, but the X-day is already past.
Before that day, the people of the Saarland passionately discussed the consequences of economic integration into the Federal Republic, which meant a currency changeover from the franc to the Deutsche mark. The uncertainty in the Department stores showed before day X in blank price tags.
Then it was finally ready. In the presence of the Saarland Prime Minister Dr. Röder, the Turnpike opened for the last time and thus passed the customs barrier between the Federal Republic and the Saar region at the same time definitively. The first German car was also the deutsche mark, which henceforth replaces the French franc as means of payment.
The day is over. For the people of the Saarland now some problems but also positive perspectives.

The wedding of Brussels Belgium celebrated the wedding of the year. In the St. Gudula Cathedral, Brussels, Archbishop of Roey Cardinal dared the King's brother, Prince Albert, and the Italian Princess Paola Ruffo di Calabria.
Prince Albert had met his young wife eight months ago in Rome. Already during her first visit to Belgium the Princess with great enthusiasm was received, and so the wedding was a feast day for all Belgians at the same time.

Course on New York in Bremerhaven said in these days new "Bremen" "Cast off" for the largest and fastest passenger ship flying the German flag, for the. Even before the flagship of the Norddeutscher Lloyd to his maiden voyage ran out to New York, our cameraman had opportunity to visit aboard.
Also the prominent, first guest could convince themselves that the new "Bremen" will meet all requirements of international passenger shipping.
Federal Minister of transport, Seebohm wish good ride for the maiden voyage Captain Heinrich Lorenz.
After 20 years of interruption, a ship with the traditional names "Bremen" on a regular service on the North Atlantic sails again.

Safety first for the first time filmed, preparations for the maritime exercise of Deutsche Lufthansa in the cabin of a floating plane dummy. Students first learn how you can catch the supposed impact of the machine to the water with the body. With a handle, the exit can be opened, at the same time the first inflatable that will record the occupants of emergency-soaked machine with other rescue devices automatically blow up unfolds out there in the wings automatically.
This frequently tested and proven rescue equipment, among other things, a beacon whose Antenne is attached to a kite or a balloon are the equipment of every trans-Atlantic aircraft.
In the event of an emergency, the bright yellow inflatable boats of the search ships also on long distances are clearly make out.
These distress rescue exercises are mandatory for all airlines international. They serve the security of the flight passenger. Each crew member is required to participate in these exercises regularly.

However in completely other meaning is the mountaineers from Amsterdam to security some young citizens of Amsterdam. What looks like a boot camp for facade climbers, is the weekly training of future climbers. Because there are no mountains, as is well known in the Netherlands, the trailblazers of tomorrow on an old fire Tower practice.

Modern art - made easy properly roped is the man almost to the bird and a spring cattle painter. Also the young man had shot a bird, we can thank the epoch-making invention of the first time machine. It is Monsieur Tinguelly, a Swiss.
The world-famous, Swiss precision watch movement in the service of abstract art, old dances - for the youngest who has the future, learns to appreciate the past. So the boys and girls from all over Scotland to a competition in old dances met in Edinburgh on a beautiful summer evening. The young Cavaliers demonstrated the elegance of the great world in miniature.

Berlin: The big world of big was a tryst with the ball of the International Film Festival in Berlin. UFA-chef Arno Hauke, presented his young star Sabine Sinjen the Honorary certificate of a film prize of the Benelux countries. But although not lack of prominence, no right mood wanted to come at the beginning.
No wonder Germany Hall at the same time Bubi Scholz fought with his challenger Buttje Wohlers for the European soccer championship. With other film ball visitors also our cameraman was don't miss this sporting highlight of the Berlin Film Festival. He just came along to record the dramatic last rounds.
The slow motion shows the amazing condition of two boxers still after more than 10 rounds.
Clear winner after fifteen rounds and so old and new European champion - Gustav Scholz, Berlin.
The film ball but only now reached its Summit. It has been danced more than in all years before. It was a real family celebration for the people of the film. Hamburg: A family feast for the native hamburger and tourists enjoy is the German Derby on the Horner Rennbahn for 90 years. The field of the best three year olds started under critical and beautiful eyes.
The classic 2400 meters distance, there were two favorites, Ravensbergs "forest man", and "Waldcanter" - Rötten gene, but as in the Union, "Betting coup" takes the tip with powerful gallop. He can last the pace in Hamburg?
In the Wandsbeker arc "Betting coup" is still always forward, Yes, it seems to be faster. -In the HomeStretch now finally "Waldcanter" but without Jockey Klimscha masterfully ridden by, "Uomo", the fourth horse of Rötten gene, attacks arrives and WINS as a crass outsider in the German Derby in 1959.
A real sensation for Röttgen Stud, and the first Derby win for 27 years.
