The silent black forest villages in southwest of Germany fools fall upon yearly noisily. And if they occupy like in Rottweil, the streets, also citizens from the bustle of Mardi Gras can be captured.
The "Rottweiler fools jump" is one of the oldest and most famous Carnival customs in South Germany. Since more than 800 years, the wind er demons are sold with imaginative masks and exuberant parades.
Often, a change in meaning has blurred the original meaning of masks and costumes. But the joy of the turn, teasing and playing on the eve of the old Christian fasting period has remained. Visitors from all parts of the Federal Republic of Germany and tourists from around the world increasingly join the crazy hustle and bustle.

Augustdorf - a small town in North-Western Germany. Their self-government distinguishes it from other municipalities in the Federal Republic: of the 19 members of the Municipal Council are 8 soldiers of the Bundeswehr. They serve in a nearby location of the army and live in Augustdorf. They perceive the concerns of their fellow citizens as "Citizens in uniform". The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany gives the right to them: even as soldiers they have the same civil rights as any German citizens. And they make use of it. The integration of the Bundeswehr in the society is even more obvious that today more than a thousand soldiers as volunteer leaders in local councils and district days sitting.
Although the Federal Republic of Germany adheres to the principle of compulsory of military service. But it has equipped the soldiers with rights, which are considered to be exemplary. This includes the right to refuse the service with the gun principle. The so-called conscientious objectors must provide a civilian alternative service in social institutions for this - for example in nursing stations, special school homes and hospitals. The "military representative of the German Bundestag" watches over the constitutional rights of the citizen in uniform as a monitoring body of the Parliament. He has access to military facilities. And on him every soldier without adhering to the service path can apply, if he feels unfairly treated or wants to point out abuses.
The democratic Constitution of the Federal Republic has paved the way for a cooperation between army and society in the establishment of the Bundeswehr 26 years ago. Politicians in uniform have completed the last stage for personal - such as the deputies Heinrich Wieking, who does his work in his period of service as a sergeant-major on the staff of a tank Brigade and is active after the conclusion of the service in his community school Committee.

An inconspicuous vehicle in the spotlight of public interest standing in the yard of a Berlin based company. Mildred Scheel, wife of the Federal President, and trained medical doctor, on the use of the first mobile mammography station informed himself as Chairman of the "German Cancer aid". With radiation-safe X-ray room, dressing rooms, Secretariat and classroom, this converted bus has all the necessary facilities for the early detection of breast cancer. The "Deutsche Krebshilfe" has donated the "Red Cross" this mobile unit as a model institution for health care. Although all female insured 30 have a legal claim on a free cancer screening in the Federal Republic of Germany in the year. But still too few women take advantage of this possibility. Half of women with cancer could be cured with an early cancer detection.
Precautions also help reduce costs, because prevention is cheaper than cure. Health care should begin already with the baby. With the slogan "oral polio vaccine is sweet - polio is cruel", more parents for the polio vaccination could be won in the Federal Republic of Germany ofyear year because "prevention is better than cure".

Three fish are the symbol of the city. Symbolize its position: at the confluence of the Danube, Inn and Ilz is Passau, the cultural and economic center of Eastern Bavaria.
739 a.d. was bishopric of Passau. Around 1200 "it became" to the "single capital and residence city".
Two fires ravaged the Gothic face of the city. From the rubble, the Baroque Passau grew with the help of Italian architect and stucco workers.
37 churches and chapels are on the Christian character of the city. From here, the entire Austro Hungarian area was Christianized. In the "mother church", St. Stephen's Cathedral, the largest church organ in the world plays.
50,000 Passau see no Museum in her town of course. Try to integrate the historical heritage in the modern development of the city. Tourism has become for the benefit of their residents and many visitors - a major economic factor in Passau.
A special attraction are the "Passauer European weeks" - a summer gathering place for well-known European artists from all fields of art for 25 years.
The outskirts of Passau - Austria is at the door, and to Czechoslovakia, it is closer than Munich - threatened to paralyse its development for a while. The expansion of routes to water and land makes a turntable, also for "Trade and change" with South-Eastern Europe again - from the three-River city - like in the middle ages.
