The Oberstdorf jump in the Bavarian Birgsautal - attraction and horror at the same time for the "bird people" from all over the world. They were given a new opportunity to explore the limits of human performance in the ski flying here.
For the second ski flying World Championships the Oberstdorf Hill was rebuilt - a 72-meter-high "Stepping stone" made of steel and concrete. The world record fell at the tasting competition. Heinz Wosipiwo from East Germany improved him from 165 to 169 yards.
Starting at 120 km speed: Karel Kodejska from Czechoslovakia: with two jumps each 154 m, he finished third place in Oberstdorf.
The reigning world champion Walter Steiner, the 22-year old Swiss is regarded as the best stylist under the wide-hunters. He lacked a half point to outflank Hans-Georg Aschenbach in the GDR. Aschenbach won with jumps of 157 and 152 meters.
With faulty landings, several jumpers paid their duel with the super jump. The fall of the Japanese Takao Ito was spectacular. It tore a page blast from the flight path. He was admitted to the hospital with a broken collarbone.
Fear we all have - confess themselves the flying ACEs. But they succumb to the temptation to abzusegeln of the takeoff in the 5 second flight in a snow-covered Valley.

The Convention Centre Dipoli is since November 1972 under the special protection of the Finnish police and military. 9 km outside Helsinki meet - surrounded by Finnish wood and concrete design representatives from 32 European countries--among them the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic and the United States and Canada - to the preliminary talks for a Conference on security and cooperation in Europe "CSCE".
ABCD is the first European Conference, attended by both the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic. For the Federal Republic, the Ambassador talks mean mainly a continuation of their policy of detente toward Eastern Europe. Some of the key negotiating objectives called the head of the German delegation, Dr. Guido Brunner: "we To want the relaxation process on broad-based advance. We now take the step of relaxation among the individual States to the total relaxation between West and East. It comes that even citizens have some of this process. It comes that the human contacts be improved and that more security is created. And we must now advance the patient work. We have to convince the other side that no one should remember to replace the system of the other. It comes just to create a better condition for the people of Europe into West and East."

In Beirut, the cosmopolitan capital of Lebanon presented their art-loving citizens of "German graphic of the present". The Lebanese Minister of education Mouhheibir opened the exhibition together with the German Ambassador: with All the time changing stocks it has been shown in the last 5 years in the capitals of the world.
This German graphics of the present collection has been compiled by the German airline Lufthansa. Not all of the most important artists are represented - but 130 sheets of 54 artists and graphic designers To give a representative overview of the development of graphical art from 1950 until today in Germany.
New impressions of "Reality": the task of long normal small image format and a preference for larger colour have aroused new interest in graphic art in the Federal Republic.

Wolfsburg - city of the "beetle" - city of the largest European car factory with a production of 3,700 vehicles per day in 1972. Wolfsburg remained a "city in the green", an "industrial landscape under a blue sky" for its residents: Wolfsburg is considered to be one of the 5 cleanest cities in the world. Factory and municipality have recognized the danger of civilizational progress - pollution - early. Their measures to reduce waste and pollution of air and water apply the Federal Republic as an example and model for most of the major cities and industrial areas. A waste incineration plant 20,000 tons of industrial waste each year into odourless, neutral slag that can be used for the population of the area. The incineration plant reduced the waste to about 7% of its volume.
The example of ordered water shows how far-sighted already 1938 when establishing work environment was planned. At that time formulated principles today: chemical contaminated industrial waste must - be detoxified in the study - and neutralised, before she headed into the next natural waters.
The must be supplied with cooling and process water by cardiovascular systems, which are fed from precipitation and properly treated wastewater.
Valuable drinking water demand for water may be covered only to the small part. Environmental protection is expensive - but essential. This insight has become today. Alone for research tasks the Federal Republic annually provides approximately 30 million marks therefore.
The example demonstrates Wolfsburg: an industrial area must be not inhuman and ugly. It can create new recreational values if the industry on the people - and also new landscapes.

Many - know Berlin but much in Berlin defies the "publicity". Berlin does not belong to the "pub" - but nobody, even the oldest Berlin, can claim he knows all. Around 4,500 times, they exist in Berlin - small and large, loud and dreamy, simple and exclusive, and always different.
The "Zille-Stuben" awaken memories of the good old Berlin around the turn of the century. Pomp and plush to the coziness of the gaslights time. There's a little bit of the "Milljöh" of the Berlin artist Heinrich Zille and his time.
Artist atmosphere today offers Jule hammer Gallery in the Europa-Center. Times more pub than times more Gallery as a pub - but always something new on the walls and on the counter.
The "fair" - beer and liquor offering kitsch Instead of art. If you like, can wear with everything - the beer - against small cash home.
The preference for the streets Café French heritage. The "bar" but is as old as Berlin: around 750 years.
From the old Berlin Chamber Court was the Berlin Museum. And the beer parlour with the Durststiller number 1, the Berliner Weiße with no shot belongs to the Berlin Museum.
Pubs in Berlin - stations of a journey of discovery - the "atmosphere" of often called metropolis.

Royal gardens of Herrenhausen: Baroque impressions in Hanover with the music group Parsifal.
Herrenhausen was the residence of the Dukes and electors of Hanover. After French and Dutch model, architect and landscape architect primarily from 1692 to 1710 created the entire system. One of its most beautiful features: the large fountain - the highest garden fountain in Europe, rising to 82 meters.
Herrenhausen is harmony of nature, art and architecture. The "big garden" is the only one in Germany that has retained its original style in the geometric style gardens.
What was once offered the Princely Court society performances and concerts to the delight and recreation, is now accessible to all. The annually recurring celebrations "Music and theatre in Herrenhausen" increase the attraction of the old Royal gardens.
