Narration
Now he has withdrawn definitively - the largest and quietest bus of Europe. His name: Airbus A 300. Lufthansa has put him into service.
A few weeks ago had the politician and Chairman of the Board of the German society of Airbus, Franz Josef Strauß, who passed the first machine of the Lufthansa. The Airbus is the first Lufhansaflugzeug, the German aviation industry is instrumental in its development and production since the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany. For the European Community project, German plants supply the front part of the fuselage, the topside of the fuselage centre section, the rear of the fuselage and the fin.
The aircraft parts built in Hamburg and Bremen are flown in a special plane in the French city of Toulouse for final assembly. France and Germany are the two main partners in the large aircraft business. Spain and the Netherlands. The American industry provides in addition to the Super Guppy, - the Airbus transporter - also the engines. United Kingdom builds Airbus wings.
Airbus A 300, a nearly 900 kilometers faster jet for short - and medium-haul usage. In Hamburg assembled Airbus for the needs of the Lufthansa will be equipped.
25,000 engineering hours the German carrier has in cooperation with the Airbus Industrie invested and it enforced around 1,200 changes to Airbus in the course of development.
As large aircraft, the Airbus can carry more than 300 people. However, in the Lufthansa version, the number of seats was reduced to 253. For the crew, an on-board computer for the first time concerned the calculation of the optimal engine performance.
A plane available that sets new standards in its efficiency, reliability, environmental friendliness and comfort is the airlines with the Airbus.
Come on still - during the day and At night. For 2.5 million people refugees, prisoners of war, evacuees - is the Grenzdurchgangslager of Friedland the first stop on the journey to the homeland since the end of the war.
Most fried country residents on time today come from former German territories that are been assumed after the war of the administration of the Polish State. German Polish agreements allow them today, without too much bureaucratic difficulties in the Federal Republic of Germany to move over.
The policy of balancing and reconciliation with its neighbor East - as an integral part of a policy of securing peace for Europe, which operates the Federal Republic of Germany since its existence - created also the prerequisite for the solution of the German Polish issues. In the December 1970 signed the former Chancellor of Germany, Willy Brandt, and Polish Prime Minister Josef Cyrankiewicz in Warsaw the Treaty concerning the basis of the normalization of German Polish relations. Both sides reaffirm the inviolability of existing borders - the people's Republic of Poland said the resettlement of Germans as well as mixed and separated families from Poland.
In Helsinki, on the margins of the Conference for security and cooperation in Europe, Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and Polish leader Edward Gierek agreed the regulation of all issues still outstanding between the two countries five years later.
This German Polish agreements include a pension and credit agreement- and they stipulate that Poland allows the exit more than 125,000 Germans To want living in the Federal Republic of Germany. Half a year later in the Federal Republic of Germany: After passionate discussions about individual contract points of the Bundestag and the Federal Council finally agreed to first the treaties - "reasons elementary humanity, moral and foreign policy reasons."
"Thus the Federal Council has approved unanimously the law."
In the long and often conflict-ridden history of German Polish neighborhood, the agreements provide finite both sides the chance of partnership.
An ancient city, most alive living in the present: Braunschweig, near the border with East Germany, has a history of over 1000.
Brunswick came to fame as the residence of the Welf Duke Henry of the lion. As a hub for European merchants and traders to wealth. From here, goods went to Flanders, Sweden and Russia.
The old city was destroyed in the last war. A New Brunswick was created, with 270,000 inhabitants, Centre of a development area in the northeast of the Federal Republic.
The University is the oldest University of in Germany. More than 6,000 students are trained here. In addition, there are many research sites of international importance.
Industrial Court of Braunschweig. Some 170 companies with diverse manufacturing programs are located here. Focus: the car and engineering, the production of camera.
The range of culture and entertainment among a city's quality of life. Masterpieces of European painting, mainly from the 15th-17th centuries the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum far beyond Brunswick have made known.

Evening impression of a city that has become a modern metropolis in recent decades, and which still retains something of the serenity and the lifestyle of their past. Until today. Noble sound formed from fine wood - today, as for almost 100 years in Hamburg most precious woods are dried outdoors for years, one of the most famous musical instruments in the world - the Steinway grand piano.
The body - an important for the sonority resonance - is bent in the shape of the wing.
Despite use of machines: Wing construction remained largely handmade. Each instrument is unique. Today, almost half a million instruments have been built in this way in the New York and Hamburg Steinway factories.
The history of the House began, when the German piano maker Henry Engelhard, emigrated to America in 1853 in New York the company Steinway & sons founded Steinway. One of his seminal inventions: the cross side comprising silberling iron frame.
The fence equipment keys, springs, hammer called "Mechanics". Its installation requires precision and flair.
Optimum sound with the Intonier master. The crucial work at the end of a long process. 10 years of training were necessary in order to coordinate the 88 sounds fine corrections.
What pianist Franz Liszt especially appreciate to Artur Rubinstein at the piano, is his inimitable sound: "brilliantly in the treble, singing in the middle layer, and powerfully in the Baß."
