Every 2 years at the Berlin radio tower you are looking for contact with their fans: the stars who owe their career to consumer electronics. Internationale Funkausstellung.
Nearly 500 exhibitors from 27 countries, more than 600,000 spectators and visitors. You were informed about new trends and techniques.
Button, Chancellor Schmidt tried a new dimension of television: the screen newspaper, providing the viewers on-demand with local news, traffic tips or share prices.
Combination devices that combine otherwise separate parts such as radio, turntable and cassette recorder, are more and more in demand. Back in the beginnings of television, a special exhibition gave a look. Television in Berlin started in 1935. The Olympic Games were broadcast in 25 public television rooms a year later.
The 2nd world war prevented the breakthrough to the mass media. in 1967, Willy Brandt opened a new era in television. The color came into the picture, the microelectronics started their victory run. Today, it exports the German electronics industry in the whole world. Television technicians from many countries of the third world to learn to master the most important information and entertainment medium of our time here.

The automotive industry is 50 years a symbol of assembly line work: man is bound to the machine cycle, he performed a few, unchanging hand grips. In the Volkswagen factory running a three-year trial in which is to be found out, if can be omitted in certain sectors of production on the Assembly line. A countertop with all parts of a car engine is the core of the new way of working: Group and individual Assembly.
Working groups but also an individual workers assemble a car engine fully this production method. This departure from the repetitive assembly line will scientists hope - to motivate the workers - more, gain a new understanding of the whole and increase health and satisfaction.
The German Government funded this research project as a contribution to the humanization of work. Engineers, scientists and occupational physicians monitor the long-term test and evaluate him together.
The Assembly could be also rational, because eliminates waiting times caused by poor coordination of the individual operations on the Assembly line. Because even large and heavy objects have to be moved in the production of cars, you can dispense but also in the future not on the Assembly line.

We are again looking for miners. Because coal has a new future in the Federal Republic of Germany. As a fuel, but above all as a raw material for other energy sources. In the Ruhr area, the traditional coal-mining area of in Germany, scientists and technicians work on systems to transform coal into oil and gas.
Conventional testing facilities that can handle 5 tons of coal daily, are already in operation. As the final product is a raw gas, which can be refined to methane, syngas, or hydrogen. So far, the necessary energy for the gasification of coal provides the coal itself. Now, the nuclear technology to do this.
With the nuclear process heat in a high-temperature reactor would can be preserved not only the supply of coal but gained even greater quantities of gas from coal. At present arises a large demonstration plant of reactor heat is used for the gasification of coal.
Coal and their liquid products - from the heavy fuel oil to the petrol. Also the coal liquefaction of the Federal Republic in the long term helps to solve from the heavy dependence on imported oil. The hydrogenation of coal is already long large-scale applied in Germany. The process: Under high pressure, the hydrocarbons be deprived of liquefied coal with the help of catalysts. New, cheaper technologies are being tested with a Government-funded research program. So far, oil from coal is still more expensive than imported oil.

A tropical landscape in the North of Germany. Heating/air conditioning. And a library of wood. Wood pattern of almost all species of trees that grow on the Earth. The Federal Research Institute for forest and timber industry makes important basic research for many years. You benefit from many other countries, especially in the third world. The 6 institutes of research institution in and around Hamburg employ 225 scientists and staff. Your research goal: to get the forest, increasing its use for environment and economy and to improve the properties of wood and wood-based materials. Wood worms, insects and fungi cause huge damage in the world. The Institute develops the biological prevention and control of chemical methods for wood biology.
The wood Physics Institute is about the study of the mechanical and technological characteristics. For example, the properties are examined by wood and combined wooden materials. The investigation results find themselves later in the international quality standards for wood-based materials.
The cuttings is increasingly used for the faster implementation of new breeding results in practice. The crossing of different species of trees is especially aimed at developing new, fast-growing species, which are largely insensitive to frost and the effects of pest. For this, the Research Institute in 63 locations across the country has established test fields. The international span of this research is not least documented through the publication of the world forest Atlas - an important maps for scientists, technicians and authorities in many countries around the world.

Not the future but the past winning, the motto in the Bavarian Forest. Here a special kind village grows for several years: an open-air museum, which already is a magnet for culturally interested tourists. The "museum village of Bavarian Forest" is new and old at the same time. The site is new, the building, which, threatened by the collapse or demolition - are old in Bavaria were somewhere until recently. As this restored mill, then Mills grain into flour again as 300 years ago.
Also this 140-year-old hammer mill woke up to its second life. Discovered at a scrap dealer, it was dismantled piece by piece and reassembled in the same way in the museum village. Whoever wants to can let here forge hammers and scythes.
5 more monuments, rural culture and technology be raised currently faithfully. Private citizens founded and financed the museum village - an example of active home care.

In the silent glide take leave of the Earth: gliding, a young sport, but long worldwide spread. He started on the Wasserkuppe in Hesse, Germany. The Schleicher glider factory settled here in 20 years. A simple recipe for success established his international reputation: as engineers it employs mainly men who won European and world titles in the gliding.
Plastic dominates today in glider construction. Material science and physical and mathematical education must be added if a successful sailing athletes to become an equally successful designer. Although all German plants have remained family-owned businesses. But have the humble workshops of the past become companies steeped in export, supplying the world with high-performance aircraft.
Glass fiber, resin and aluminum have rendered the traditional materials of wood and steel, since the sporting requirements of training and performance aircraft have been getting bigger. With the stopwatch, the examiner controls the wing vibrations per minute. The cockpit check belongs also to the careful final inspection as the review of the flaps and rudder system.
The 300 km/h fast high-performance sailplane are among the athletes in the course: participants in the gliding world championship in Finland, 75 percent flew German machines.

Now, the athletes also have their World Cup. In the Düsseldorf Rhine Stadium the best athletes in the world mass their forces.
They started national teams or - like the Africans and Asians – continental selection teams. The 100 metres of the men was one of the highlights in Düsseldorf. The Favorites: The Americans Steve Williams and Eugen Ray Hall.
Extremely thin, the American WINS. Rosemarie Ackermann from Cottbus holds the high jump world record with 2 meters. As she put the bar on 2 meters and 1 after their victory, she will fail narrowly.
Former world record holder Karl-Hans Riehm his victory roll.
The athlete from the Federal Republic of Germany tied again at its heyday with 75 64 meters.
The audience on a new duel between the Cuban Juantorena and the Kenyan Boit rejoiced in the men's 800 meter run. In the finish, the two best 800 meter runners in the world mobilize their last forces.
The Cubans win this duel also. 5 times 100 meters of for women. Annegret Richter runs out of Germany in the European season on the outside.
Sonia Lannaman UK takes over as the last and expanding the lead. By the victory of the german British season, the women's Europe team wins the World Cup.
