60,000 came in the Frankfurter Waldstadion - millions were waiting in front of the speaker, the screen, the canvas: the hour X for soccer fans all over the world was there, as the "football"igloos in the stadium opened and folklore groups from the 16 participating States musically flavored the last minutes up to the kick-off of the 10 World Cup.

Brazil vs. Yugoslavia, the team in white pants, so was the World Cup premiere on the slip-wet grass of forest Stadium. The reigning world champion and favourite of the World Championships ' 74 against the game-joyful and German underdog in this tournament. The Federal Republic of Germany had renounced as an organizer on the opening game in favor of the champion.
A well differentiated defense over here as over there, a series of rollicking chances given the game. The Brazilians dominated the first 45 minutes. More often than usual, they were shooting from the second row. But Maric demonstrated that he is right for one of the best goalkeepers of the tournament.
The Yugoslavs countered quickly and skillfully and pushed the pace in the second half.
The best chance of the Yugoslavs is nullified in the 72nd minute of the post.
0-0 ended a game which also descend critics might concede still not a championship level. The judgment of Pelés, but reflects the bemusement of experts about the skill level of the Yugoslavs.
"I think this draw fair", he said "I must admit however, that the draw concluded was saved only with A lot of luck for my comrades. So much I have not imagined the Yugoslavs."

Pathos and pageantry were not in demand. The Bonner folk festival celebrated the Jubilee anniversary: 25 years of basic law and federal capital. The prestigious 1949 as a provisional Constitution has proved to be long-lasting. Federal President Heinemann said why: "there are good and bad constitutions, decisive, extent to which a Constitution has prevailed in the consciousness of the citizens: the basic law is still not paper text." It has entered its value determinations in its governance, in our way of thinking. It is the first German Constitution, which has found the approval of the far majority of our people."
Gustav Heinemann "Fathers of the Constitution", the members of the Parliamentary Council, which had formulated the basic law in nine work honored at a reception.
The SPD politician Carlo Schmidt moved at that time as astute debaters in the political spotlight. The already 73jährige Konrad Adenauer crowned his political career in the autumn of 1949 with the election as the first German Chancellor. In the 25 years that followed, all politicians followed the order of the Parliamentary Council to expand democracy, achieving a welfare State, and to secure the rule of law. The Constitution for this reason was "lively, living reality", because the basic law as the first Constitution of the world has preceded the civil rights granted by him, all other rights, and all other laws. In no case may as the fundamental right of people to freedom of expression and equality before the law, "in his essence touched be".
"Together we a liberal social order built", so the new Federal Chancellor Helmut Schmidt put it, "and In addition we have made one of the leading industrial nations of the world a ruined country".
Also, when Helmut Schmidt could meet all requirements of the Federal citizen on this day, like him from the balcony of the Bonn City Hall down there. A small town on the edge of the Odenwald, not far from the Frankfurter Kreuz of air, is the target of their long journey. You come as a stranger - but not as tourists. You come to learn. In the new training center of Deutsche Lufthansa, they use the opportunity to educate themselves.
They all belong to this company's ground organization and learn how they can better cope their work at the airports and City offices anywhere in the world. For the benefit of travelers, mobile population.
The training building was built on a hillside terrace. It is divided into a school building with 32 classrooms and a residential complex with 460 rooms. in 1971, construction began, moved a few weeks ago the first course participants.
In the library, theoretical knowledge can be deepened, trained in the 200-square-metre cargo exercise the practical "know-how" of the air transport. The demand of modern education to practical teaching carried out here - based on the diverse tasks of Lufthansa employees -. Technical teaching aids such as booking devices, Dia-Geber, film projectors facilitate the learning process.
Training resources, attraction with high learning effect are the video installations of the Center. They allow for example to record practice conversations of the canvassers and then discuss critically by the course participants.
Who here can relax for this so enjoyable for days or weeks, "pushing school", in his spare time. The training centre pampers its guests with numerous recreational facilities like reading room, TV room, bar, bowling alley, swimming pool, sauna.
The training center Seeheim was conceived as a meeting place: learning means here also talk to each other, to make Lake home, what should be there in particular: an international meeting point. The wind-raunchy Zugspitze in the shark-look is the distinguishing features of the ET 403, which is pushing these days for the premiere trip on the German federal railway network. Two years planning and construction of the "track stars of the group" - a fast train unit lasted 109 meters in length. The ET 403 consists of four cars. 16 electric motors accelerate the train in less than two minutes on his top speed of 200 kilometers per hour.
Reliably and comfortably as always, but still faster than they are today the passengers of the Bundesbahn promoted in the future. On a test track in Westphalia eyeing therefore the Bundesbahn the travel speed of the future: 250 kilometers an hour. Highly sensitive instruments to rail, track substructure and experimental train itself provide the technical data which must be as train and rail in the day-to-day operation of the future get To give insight on each test run.
The electric locomotive 103 provides 14,000 horsepower. She's taking the three-part test train with the prototype of a future D-Zug-Wagens and the measuring, which registers all data and stores.
The top speed of 250 is reached. Radio keeps the constant connection with the dispatchers and test squads on the line.
The newly developed measuring was built for a top speed of 300 kilometres per hour. Its modern electronic devices measure and record all movements and forces caused at high speeds on the main components: wheels and axles, bogies and the load-bearing parts of locomotive and carriages. The quick trials are preliminary studies for the year 1985. Then, the Bundesbahn on a newly built network wants to transport its passengers at 300 km/h speed.
