Chancellor Helmut Schmidt in Warsaw. An official visit by the head of the German Government in the people's Republic of Poland marked another stop on the way of the relaxation between East and West. For 1000 years, the german Polish relations reflect the changeful history of Europe with its war - and peacetime. Memories of the second world war long overshadowed the german Polish relations. During his visit to the former concentration camp of Auschwitz, Chancellor Schmidt reminded of the sacrifices that had to bring both Nations during the National Socialist tyranny.
The relaxation policy operated since 1969 with priority of the Federal Government laid the foundations for better relations with the Treaty of Warsaw.
Helsinki 1975. The talks of Chancellor Schmidt with Edward Gierek, Poland's party leader, at the fringes of the CSCE Conference were a further decisive step. The most important outcome: approximately 125,000 German can travel from Poland. In addition, pension and insurance claims were settled and initiated a programme of industrial cooperation. Today, the Federal Republic of Germany is Poland's largest Western trading partner.
in 1976, party leader Gierek visited the Federal Republic of Germany for the first time. This visit and the talks between Gierek and Chancellor Schmidt in Warsaw a year later created an atmosphere of growing trust. It was said in a joint statement after the meeting in Warsaw: the visit has contributed significantly to the development of relations and to deepen the cooperation.

Hildesheim, the more than thousand-year-old Episcopal city in the North of the Federal Republic, is home to perhaps the most significant collection of ancient Egyptian art in Germany. A Hildesheim merchant, who lived for 40 years in Egypt, has laid the Foundation for this unique collection 1903. The "Pelizaeus-Museum" named after him has acquired since many beautiful elements to them. Most is stored in underground magazines, only a portion will be issued.
The always lively interest of the Germans for the culture and history of Egypt has accelerated in recent years. Two large exhibitions, organized by the Egyptian Government in Germany, attracted more than one million visitors. Archaeological finds from the 3rd millennium before the time focus of Hildesheim exhibition. They were made on the cemetery of pyramids at Giza. But also treasures from more recent times are: for example this golden viscera coffin from the tomb of Tutankhamun – on loan.
Two small figures ebony, which were found early this century are among the most valuable pieces. They represent the third and Queen Teje King Amenophis. Limestone and wood figures, which provide information about the everyday life of the Egyptian population 4000 years ago, round off the collection of Hildesheim. You are an attractive contrast to the monuments of power, culture and religion of the Pharaonenreiches.

Education and training - to need anywhere in the world four things coming together. Curriculum, trainers, equipment - and of course students. In this case Africans who prepare the Earth for the air. Deutsche Lufthansa in Frankfurt. Simulated start in a Boeing 707. A training section for future Jet pilots from developing countries, get the tools for the aviation industry in Germany.
Especially the young Nations of the third world, which are building up national airlines, take advantage of the technical know-how and many years of experience of the established airlines to reach the international standard. The claims of the passengers service and comfort must be considered as well the demands for safety and punctuality in air transport. Except the pilot, Lufthansa is therefore also the future ground staff for the fleets of many developing countries.
Driven training on the emergency slide of a jumbo: only during the training a funny deposit. In an emergency, each handle must sit in an emergency landing or ditching.
The consulting and training service of the Lufthansa now goes from the training of pilots and cabin crew, the maintenance and overhaul of aircraft to the planning and organization for the establishment of national airlines. These programmes, inter alia in the context of German development aid are financed.

Castles and castles in Germany.
For example, Linderhof Palace located near Munich - the precious artifact of a romantically confused King. Ludwig II of Bavaria was built between 1874 and 79 in the style of a bygone era: the overloaded splendour of the French late Baroque determines facilities and architecture.
In Germany, already the railway ran for 40 years as the escapism-dreamer once again evoked the splendour of absolutist Royal household. Hundreds of thousands of tourists have moved up since then disbelief sit through Royal fairy tale world, in the Ludwig held the time forgetting his time.

A giant laboratory for Germany's industry and Commerce: this is the Federal Institute for materials testing in the materials of all kinds must pass their quality test. Already more than one hundred years. The National Institute of scientific companion and supporter of industrialization in Germany was at the time. It remains an important test bed for such materials until today, which must comply with national and international quality standards. Vibration test: in the so-called Hall of swing, steel is checked for its strength, fatigue strength and elasticity.
High-alloy steels can be cut only with a plasma torch. Ionized gas flows with high temperature from the cutting torch nozzle and separates also such materials, its ignition temperature is higher than its melting point.
Around a thousand engineers and scientists are employed in the Institute. The results of their research are recorded in opinion and often also to new quality standards processes, where industrial and administrative authorities are. As for the fire resistance of doors or for the tensile strength of steel-reinforced concrete.
Sometimes new testing equipment must be developed for new materials like this artificial pedestrian testing the wear resistance of floor coverings.

A city portrait: Stuttgart, the capital of the Federal State of Baden-Württemberg. Even as Stuttgart nor residence of art sinniger Dukes and Kings was this rebellious spirit stirred. Friedrich Schiller, once national poet of the Germans of who belonged to the most famous rebels against feudal authorities. Individuals on their personal freedom are still the Stuttgart today.
The art has claimed their public place and rank, despite of the industrious quest for acquisition, that is said to the Swabians from their German compatriots. Art and Commerce feels the Stuttgart not as opposites: the city of monuments, the museums, the arts today is Centre of one of the strongest economic regions of in Germany.
World famous companies such as Daimler-Benz have here their seat, but also thousands of small and medium-sized craft enterprises, where the Swabians can test their own talents: attention to detail, precision and inventiveness. The famous ballet masters John Cranko had led the Stuttgart Ballet to international heights. The Württemberg State Theatre has become the figurehead of German Ballet art in addition to the stages of Hamburg and Berlin.
The pint wine among the everyday pleasures of life for many Stuttgart. The vineyards draw even today to the edge of the city. An industrial metropolis with parks and forests. Still, Stuttgart is a city in the countryside. And the Stuttgart do everything so that this remains so.

International riding and jumping in the Berlin Germany Hall. Arrival of the stars, which in the stables, cared for and maintained such as sensitive prima ballerinas. Because they are similarly sensitive, and its market value is hardly less: 300,000 marks and more.
At the start of the tournament a PS-show of military police officers from the United Kingdom.
Grand Prix of Germany, the whole international elite at the start had gone. Nelson Pessoa, the veteran from Brazil, was there, and World Championship runner-up Eddie Macken from Ireland.
Although the course was this time relatively easily, bad luck had quirks. The second round denied his Super horse Boomerang against an obstacle. Quirks such as the Austrian Champion Simon had to allow other riders in the jump-off to win.
Also Paul Schockemöhle of Germany, silver medalist of Montreal, could not forward offending 2 attempts. Nelson Pessoa, one of the stylistic best jumpers in the world, had won the prize by Germany in the last year.
This time, the Brazilian former world champion was not in form. European champion Johan won the [...] Heins from the Netherlands. Germans Gerd Wiltfang and Karsten Huck the positions 2 and 3: occupied no bad initial position for the upcoming show jumping World Cup in Aachen.
