The "romantic road", Germany's most popular travel route in the past ends here in Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Medieval Städteromantik became the tourist attraction. Now to advertise a special postage stamp for the charm of Rothenburg. Federal post Minister Dollinger Tauber town passes the first arc of the brands.
Rothenburg - it is said - is a single monument and the comfort of German wine paradise. Today 11,500 people living in the almost seven-hundred-year-old walls of the city.
A great moment of the transport associations of Rothenburg was a visit to the Berlin Pankgrafen. For the first time, the traditional travel of spree Knight in the Tauber City ended and no bed was to have more. Rothenburg is the world still in order.
In the Dutch university town of Leiden, dance was the theme of the week. The 7. International Folk Dance Festival was opened by a group of Yugoslav. It is characteristic of the Zagreb dance that the men hardly move the upper body.
For the first time, groups from Israel will take part. The Druze dance to the sound of a pan flute.
He put the Yemeni hopping tones of tin cans.
Romania finished the Festival - a political contribution to the understanding of peoples.
Never before, Germany has built so many vessels for foreign countries like in the last half of the year. Now, the largest turbine tanker was completed, which has ever been given to Kiel in order. In the belly of the 209.000 Tonner would be space for 1,500 3-bedroom apartments. A supertanker for England - built in seven months "I baptize you in the name of"Texaco Hamburg"and wish you and your crew all the time-good ride."
These tankers is the first of a series. 3 more are to be delivered in the next 7 months.
It was a distraction for the tourists, for the participants of the competition, the action had a deeper meaning. In Ostend, 12 Belgian life saving clubs simulated the real thing.
A battle for seconds, which begins with the getting into the lifeboats.
Often be not deterred tourists from an official ban of the bath. You overestimate their powers. Can't beat a strong underwater currents even the best swimmers.
Alone in Germany, 38,500 people were kept from drowning in the last 18 years. It was rescue of highest danger for nearly 5,000.
The helpers must betting running over time. In Ostend, the time has won this time.
26 girls were the attentive audience and a strict jury. In Moscow, the lightfooted girls of the Soviet Union to the Cup for the best dance gymnastics tiffins in 1969.
In the focus of interest of Yelena Karpuhina, the world champion. With the ball, the game is one of their best exercises.
Rhythmical flowing movement is a characteristic of dance gymnastics. Acrobatic skill and artistic show are not in demand.
The 17 year-old Alla Zasukhina are characterised by temperament and an exemplary sense of harmony.
After their exercise, it was clear: Alla is the best representative of the Soviet Union for the upcoming World Championships in Bulgaria.
It tries to distract. Nervous tension is on the field. 2 years they've been waiting - now it's time. 64 riders from 23 countries fighting in Bremen for the World Championships for remote controlled model aircraft.
Four times, each model of the aircraft must be ready to go. Only constructions are allowed under 5 kilos in the first competition class. The small jets, which cost up to 2,000 mark, an international aerobatics program is mandatory.
Americans today are the most opportunities. Four times, they defended the title already before the Federal Republic. To simulate the flight characteristics of the big models in the second class are built after the first aircraft models scale". After 3 days, it is clear: the single victory goes in dieSchweiz - team victory to Germany.
The show of the week opened a poodle: 12th German Water Ski Championships on the regatta course Castle Monaise in Triar.
A 21-year-old resonates best. With 20 buoys moving around, Hagen Klie wins the Championship in the slalom.
Calm nerves are as important as strong muscles. In the figure with its rapid spins and jumps, veteran Benzinger distances the young competition.
Not for sensitive acrobats, but for robust Draufgängers: diving, the most difficult water ski discipline. 90 km to fly the ACEs through the air fast.
The width of his jumps takes almost breath Karl-Heinz Benzinger. With 33 and 35 meters, he also wins the title. As in the previous year, water ski athlete is superior of Freiburg in Germany.
