In society: citizens initiative Cologne - the city with the largest church in Germany - decorates itself recently with a new, however worldly superlative: as the city with the most citizens initiatives. -46 citizens groups influence on important planning and administrative decisions of the authorities, or support the so-called "fringe groups" in their city districts.

Each lunch a bus picks people out of nursing homes and apartments and drive her to the "tea room". a former factory town that residents and social workers have turned into a meeting place. Here meet the old hobby work or for a cosy get-together. Here, they talk about their personal troubles, or make plans for a joint trip to the North Sea. For some the first major trip of a lifetime.

This technique: well crafted work a new kind of philanthropic scientist begins to change our world of work: the ergonomists. Her field of work is our place of work. Their goal: Humanity. The working people should feel more comfortable on his place of work. The ergonomists help him, you feel all annoying and stressful environmental influences and develop technical concepts to turn it off. Light, noise, air, dust: possible confounding factors, which isolated the ergonomist at the workplace and measures in order to evaluate them for example in light - and sound laboratory and in model attempts to defuse. The humane workplace - still more wish than reality. In the federal works of Salzgitter, the first Department of ergonomics in the German iron and steel industry changed since three years jobs. Several thousand workers have benefited from now - those who sit at the helm of the rolling mill or stand in the pulpits of the crane.
The instrument panel is now clear and easy to use. A double glazing of the pulpit decisively improved the visibility and the workplace made quiet, dust and vibration-proof. The man at the helm now sits in an air-conditioned cabin. Sound-insulating walls pushed the noise level at the typewriter. The improvement of employment has paid off for work and workers. The Committee production decreased sharply, the number of accidents at work fell far below the average for the industry of huts. The fluctuation of the workforce decreased significantly. A new measuring devices for 100. 000 mark fitted, should accelerate the progress workplace. In Salzgitter Ernst was more than anywhere else with the principle that the work to adapt the people - and not vice versa.
