"We see a great foreign power, a large domestic vitality in America, we see persistence, we see courage, we see initiative, properties that are only possible in this latitude of their potential as a result of the ideas of freedom and equality."
Freedom as a basis for decent existence. The fascination with America remained ever since sought the first emigrants in the land of a thousand opportunities, independence and prosperity. An exhibition in the City Hall is reminiscent of the trip current European emigrants: of the 35 million who moved there between 1820 and 1970 to America, seven million from Germany came. Today, the identity of political and social values between the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany is a solid foundation of friendship between the two countries. Despite all the criticism from the inside and from the outside: In the Americans, 50 percent of all German citizens see best friends of Germany, far ahead of all other peoples.

Cooperation means the excess life formula in the European aircraft industry. The Airbus, the German French large aircraft, is considered successful attempt of Europeans to catch up with the technological lead of the Americans. Jet and Tornado Schwenkflügler are the light ground attack Fighter Alpha examples of European cooperation. The air show was dominated as ever by sports and business aircraft.

Hundreds of thousands came to Hanover-Langenhagen, to watch the aircraft on their art and demonstration flights.
The multi-role helicopter BO 105 so far reached high sales curves from abroad as a single German aircraft.
But European cooperation begins to pay off - for the German aviation industry.

Here, too, things are looking up: economic spring in Hannover - the largest industrial fair in the world. The growth impulses of the world economy is recovering back were clearly feel in Hanover.

And alongside a world company that manufactures diesel engines, agricultural machinery and tractors evolved from the workshop of the German tinkerer.
Cooperation and partnership - these are today the slogan words in an economically interconnected world. This objective is - from year to year more - also the Hannover trade fair focused: as a hub for ideas, technical know-how and machinery. A qualified vocational training ensures the social opportunities of each.

Neumeier in Hamburg working since 1973. His goal was to build of a ballet company with a distinctive face. Classical training is the basis on which modern new techniques will be tested.
Ballet lives according to Neumeier's conviction, if it is of the classical vocabulary, to tell of the people and of the human relationships.
It is modern, if a now living choreographer uses to represent the forms developed from the tradition and still continue to be developed.
The movement of people in space and time is the stuff from which the dance is made. Neumeier shaping him, he treated the dancer not as a "Doll", but included his individual skills in the context of the overall choreography can be.
Idiosyncratic and original constantly Neumeier's productions, including his last, Tchaikovsky's ballet "Swan Lake" are considered surprising.
