Change at the top of the State. In the Bonn Beethovenhalle, Karl Carstens was elected the new President of the Federal Republic of Germany. In West Germany, the President is determined not by the people but by the Federal Assembly. This Assembly is composed of members of the Bundestag and of the area of the parliaments. Since the Bonn opposition CDU/CSU in the most Länderparlaenten of the majority, she could enforce their candidates Carstens in the Federal Assembly.
After the announcement of the election results, political friends and opponents congratulated.
Karl Carstens is no stranger to the political world. In various roles, he has negotiated for many years with foreign statesmen. His start in political life began in 1961. He welcomed his first State visitor as freshly baked Secretary of State at the Foreign Office in Bonn. Other government positions followed. Then he moved over in party politics and was leader of the opposition in the Bundestag. For the CDU/CSU, he sought contact with like-minded parties in Europe - as here with the former British opposition leader Thatcher.
In the Office of the President of the Parliament, which he took over in 1976, it has been certified objectivity and Fairneß.
The restrained North is married to a doctor. He doesn't have children. His hobbies - horseback riding and sailing - reflect his bourgeois origins. Karl Carstens sees itself as a liberal conservative. Self-professed he will have it hard, to reach the popularity of his predecessor Walter Scheel, who took the citizens for himself with his cheerful nature and its way of life as Federal President. In the highest Office Carstens on the parties and is representative of all German citizens.
"I'm going to do my best, I'll do my utmost to meet this high demand."
5 years was the largest construction site in Europe. Up to 4,000 construction workers mounted and screwed on the thing. At the same time they processed 3,000 freight cars full of reinforced concrete.
For West Berlin, it means much, the new Congress Centre on the edge of the fairgrounds. The city is instructed because of their island location on the steady flow of capital and goods, people and information. With this Riesenhaus for 20,000 people, Berlin undertakes the attempt to secure a top place in the competition of the large Congress cities. It built a communications machine that is according to size and facilities without example.
The usual Conference Chair was redesigned according to occupational health aspects and transformed into a modern workplace. The simultaneous system can be adjusted to 8 different language channels.
The structure in the urban landscape lies like a stranded giant freighters. For Berliners, it is not without controversy due to its dimension. Whether it served its purpose and functions, its users have to decide. An electronic information and light control system helps you to find your way around the 300-metre building.
It's like in the control of the city in the electronic Commando. Even the air conditioners are controlled from here.
80 meeting rooms in all sizes are available - 7 square meters and 6,000 square metres. The largest room is 5,000 people. Push of a button, it can be transformed into a ballroom.
Conference participants want to not just talk and listen, but also eat and drink. The Congressküche can set out a banquet for 3,000 people.
The Center is fully booked for the next 2 years, not only economic crisis should be withdrawn after a year. Then we also know whether the man today in the dimension of the future loses not his individuality.
She owes its origin to the cross: Fulda, the old episcopal town in the heart of Germany. The founder of the city is buried in the Cathedral: Saint Boniface, which once theodgar the pagan Germanic tribes on behalf of the Pope. His crypt under the high altar is the National Shrine of the German Catholics.
Prince-Bishops ruled the city almost a Millennium. Still, the German bishops meet here for their annual Conference. But they have long since passed political power citizens.
Young, modern, dynamic: this is the Fulda. But many tourists want to know nothing about. Looking for the old Fulda, the monuments of his past.
Precious porcelain from several centuries shows currently in the baroque city Palace.
To form candles like a little work of art: it is located here.
Also a great car tires work produced in Fulda. Yes, but progress increased environmental protection. New housing estates were allowed only at due distance from the historic centre.
A Chair that made history. Already the waltz King Johann Strauß was sitting on him. And the contemporaries of wide astronauts still appreciate it.
Michael Thonet was the Carpenter who came on 160 years the incidence of ago to turn wood to a light, elegant seating. A world-leading in Frankenberg on the Eder lives by its incidence.
Technology and design: the success of the Chair is justified. Thonet was the bow wood technology, a method to force wood by chemical mechanical treatment in any shapes first. The logs are made flexible with hot water vapors, before they are stretched and dried forms of iron. Beech wood is particularly suitable for this procedure.
Thonet's artistic handwriting gave the Chair to a long career. Only a few know the name of the Carpenter. Also with curved beech, hardly anyone knows to start something. But the popular name of this piece of furniture is well known: Vienna Cafe House Chair. Transparent - light filigree that still meets its practical purpose: variations of a style of that has survived many furniture fashions.
Landscape of coal and steel: the Ruhr area. Today is a center of German heavy industry. Manifold impulses are assumed here, not only for the development of business and industry. Also the Hiberniaschule is a product of the mining landscape between Rhine and Ruhr.
High school plus journeyman: the Hiberniaschule is the only one in the Federal Republic, in which students are prepared at the same time on the University and the profession.
The Hiberniaschule feels the teachers committed Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophy. In practice this means: educational content and objectives are designed to teach students early on creative behavior and craftsmanship.
Music and foreign languages in the first class.
The 7 to 10. Class has lessons in practical work teaching: students learn the processing of wood, copper and metal.
The students come from many groups in society. These conscious social mix is part of the Hibernia concept as well as co-education of boys and girls.
There's the first direct contact with the professional and working world in the 11th grade: internship and start teaching. The students choose may between apprenticeships in the fields of electrical, metal, wood and textile or opt for a socio-pedagogical profession.
After the journeyman's examination at the end of the 12th school year is the juxtaposition of vocational and educational training to end: the last two years include preparing for the baccalaureate.
The success of this educational model is evident already during his school years: the children often complained school fatigue is unknown here. Also, there are virtually no school failure.
Studies of the European Cup final in the indoor handball. In the sold-out Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, Germany two German teams fought endgame: VFL Gummersbach and the SC Magdeburg in East Germany. Both teams had turned off all other European top teams on the way to the Cup final.
As the home team, the Gummersbach put on offensive. Anyway, they had to catch up a Trore residue from the first leg in Magdeburg.
The Magdeburg, feared otherwise because of their aggressive attack game, favored the defensive. But when they showed up at the gate of Gummersbach, they were always dangerous.
Hustle and toughness in the game comes after the second-half. Although the Gummersbach there are ahead with 3 goals. But they succeed in not their lead to vergrüßern. The Magdeburger understand on the counter.
In the final minutes increase the Gummersbach. But keep up the Magdeburger Hafen. How did again after a penalty throw due to foul up.
But luck is on pages of Gummersbach. At the final whistle, they have more achieved total 1 goal. That's enough for the victory. From a small town in North Rhine-Westphalia, the team won the European Cup for the fifth time.
