This special report, Berliner festwochen ' 69 Berlin was once again fully booked. An international audience sought the meeting with internationally recognized artists.
In the kempi or Kranzler there were discussions about success and failure of firsts or even the small spicy stories that are missing at any Festival. A highlight of the Festival: Fritz Kortners memories: "the Kurfürstendamm was still in becoming, by the electric busily navigated, by rattling of 2 deck-bus and an automotive traffic us coming new Yorkerisch released me Vienna from Mannheim. A crescendo city. Beautiful she wasn't at first glance."
In those days, as Kortner collected first impressions in Berlin, the expressionist theatre was born. Under the keyword "Aufbruch 19", the gallery presented a scenic documentary. This small theatre at the Ernst-Reuter-Platz had given a chance the young Kortner and Expressionism 50 years ago - until the Nazis suppressed it.
When during the second world war who scribbled Hitler on the poster with his fraught with the stretched index finger the viewer aufspießend mahnend solemnly asked "and what are you doing for your country?", ein Berliner in response ' tremble' ick.
For the musically interested visitors to the Festival, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under Herbert von Karajan, the highlight of these days - for fans and critics alike were a great event. Sellners premiere of Blacher "200,000 thalers", however, drove many curious in the German Opera: the story of the poor tailor who believes to have won the big prize, can lead to a contemporary opera experience?
Away from tulle, champagne and mink: the bread-and-puppet theatre from New York. Place their guest performance: a backyard in Berlin's wedding. Theatre in its original form: drastically and understandable for everyone, a street theatre, politically engaged against the war and for a fairer society. Without a doubt the boldest post of a Festival programme, which replaced the solemn celebration of the conventional with the factual dispute with artistic means of expression of our time.

Doing current notes to the time a week only discussed Willy Brandt and Walter Scheel of the negotiators of the SPD and FDP members about the formation of the future Government. Then it was clear: after 20 years of CDU rule should form the new Government for the first time by a social liberal coalition. If it seems doubtful the SPD/FDP Pact to break up, the CDU, which looks to distort the will of the voters in the SPD/FDP Alliance will succeed in the election of the Chancellor. Bonn journalists as one of the most remarkable moments of German postwar policy evaluated the encounter of two party chairman Scheel and Brandt at President Heinemann.
The TV tower was inaugurated, set a new world clock in motion, delegations of 85 Communist parties receive. With great effort, the DDR celebrated its 20th anniversary. With the exception of the leading politicians from Romania and Yugoslavia met all prominent representatives of the Eastern bloc States in East Berlin. The population is not saved with applause. "We are all thrilled, the future will be mastered" - was one of the most popular chants.
In the Werner-soul ties-Hall, Walter Ulbricht praised the GDR as a truly human State, which belong to the people and serve his interests before 9,000 earned citizens of the Republic. All speakers insured their unbreakable friendship of the GDR and urged Bonn to acknowledge the reality of East Germany At last. The response to the challenge of the Slipper cinema found with the cinema Center designed based on American models, three movie theaters in a House, Düsseldorf. Western, crime or artistic film - for film enthusiasts has become interesting again of course the cinema box office. Hausherr gold er man premieres guests with its modern "triple"cinema, proved how you also can offer variety and convenience.
"The movie theater today must change and adapt to the new structures To give broad audiences opportunity a fan of several film programs to choose from the right."
3 million voted for the "Jungle Book" tale of Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli, the boy from the Indian jungle and his jungle friends, which was filmed by Walt Disney. The "Golden screen" was a visible sign of his success. While in China "down with the new Tsar" the new Tsar in Moscow are at the center of an unprecedented propaganda offensive, which leads the People's Republic of China on the occasion of its 20th anniversary of State against the Soviet Union.
Incidents at the Grenzflüssen Amur and Ussuri River, the Chinese healing and Wusuli, are branded by the Chinese leadership as a criminal provocation of the Soviet revisionist clique of renegades and taken on the occasion of their campaign.
The Chinese newsreel and documentary film Studio now sent us these pictures of Soviet attacks on Chinese fishermen and farmers. Each of the two Nations accused years the other side wrong to interpret the boundary. To arms, to not attack first. Water cannons, slats and rowing, the conflicting parties wanted to fight their right. The problem of demarcation in the East of the Soviet Union is greater as it suggests the more comic than dangerous-looking debate. The so-called unequal treaties of Aigun and Beijing China ceded in 1858 and 1860 over a million square kilometers of land to the Tsarist Russia. For the lost territories, so Mao-Tse-tung 1964, threatened, we presented yet always not our Bill. Nikita Chruschtschow but rejected all claims based on the Old Testament or the bones of our ancestors, in the same year. Since then, the told piled up.
War developed from the squabbles between border guards and frontier. Before the Spring Sun melted the ice on the Ussuri River, Soviet soldiers attack the Chinese with tanks. Four fishermen were killed.
Moscow and Beijing mobilized their troops. Approximately 1, 5 million soldiers faced at the 7,000-kilometer Chinese / Soviet border. A war between the Red superpowers seemed No more unthinkable according to Asia experts.
In the meantime, both parties have withdrawn part of its forces and agreed on talks.
The propaganda campaign against socialist imperialism but continues. Because Beijing feels safe: in accordance with the dictum of the great Chairman Mao - "we will attack only, if we are attacked" - our soldiers successfully protect the boundaries of the fatherland against the provocations of the Soviet Renegades clique.
