By car on the bike: the leisure exchange for a growing number of German citizens. Get by train or car in the Green, and then on the bike - on its own or bike trim-you wave, alternative lifestyle models and high gasoline prices have resulted in this trend.
Now, the first comprehensive study of the bicycle in the road brought a surprise: the pedal-driven bicycle is the most widely used means of transport in the highly motorized Federal Republic in addition to the feet.
For years, industry and trade benefit from the bicycle boom. Today about four million bicycles are sold in the Federal Republic annually. Most of foreign manufacturers that earlier than the German industry realized the new trend and now the market with model Les and control accessories for every taste. Of the 61 million people in Germany 8 million use the bicycle every day: as transportation for trips to work, shopping or school, for her no other transport means is financial or age eligible: they depend on the bike.
The cyclist was long a stepchild of transportation planning. The streets were almost exclusively for the cars, bike trails for road widenings sacrificed. The remaining paths are often obstructed by cars or unexpected result in a street. The Unfallzahleno are high 2,000 cyclists in road transport are killed each year.
Now, the German cyclists begin to organize and to fight for their rights with rallies and demonstrations. Them To want more cycling paths so that you - can use saddle and pedals in the future safe especially in the big city -. Once in the year bring Ulm Fassbinder in memory: with moving and dancing, with music band and Harlequins in historical costumes from the 18th century.
The huge Munster dominates the city is still today before 600 years it was built: a demonstration of bourgeois wealth by Gothic sacral art. The Tower will end in a fragile-looking top. With 161 metres it is the highest church tower in the world.
History is conjured up here too otherwise. The Mayor puts the oath on the Ulmer "Swearing letter" from 1397 every year and promises to be a fair and honest man.
This city is 1100 years old and is rich in architectural monuments, of which however many after the destruction during the second world war had to be rebuilt. Life force proved Ulm until today. The fascinating old town can would hardly suspect that Ulm grew up just a few months ago with 100,000 inhabitants to a big city. Ulm is not only economically uses its location on the Danube, this large, cross-border European River, a summer day is the "Nabada", a kind of Carnival on the water. With imaginatively decorated boats, with grotesque cardboard cutouts and herausfordernen slogans the Ulm authorities and politicians spoof: a lärmendlustiges pleasure to every anrelsen tens of thousands of tourists.

Amelie Heuser, 26 years old. She lives and works in Hamburg. One of 9, 5 million women in the Federal Republic of Germany.
What is different from most women Amelie Heuser: she chose a typical man's profession. And she has had success. Two years ago she made her certificate for radio electronics. At the Hamburg shipyard of Deutsche Lufthansa, checks and she repaired electronic equipment.
The Lufthansa is one of the German companies, the young girl who pulls it to the metal trades, To give a chance. In the basic training - learn how all other apprentices - file, turning, milling. Then follows. the professional training. At Lufthansa, women today work as expert or champion in various areas of metal, such as aircraft mechanic, or in the engine shop.
The tend to typical male professions is relatively new. The great majority of the female school-leavers choose traditional apprenticeship in the service sector. The shortage of training places and the risk of employment in these occupations have some girls to think: why wouldn't they in technical professions the same can afford as the men?
There is still prejudice against female Welders and engineers. Not with the trainers. According to their information, girls are often clever and ambitious and outperform the male apprentices in the theoretical training.
Amelie Heuser is the first radio electrician in the German airline Lufthansa. Her success in a profession hitherto reserved for men contradicted traditional prejudices. Sociologists and work scientists are now convinced that it is also economically urgent, stronger than so far for technical professions to open up the little-used talent reserve of women. Companies such as Lufthansa, which are dependent on qualified talent, support this development.

Every now and then he pulls through German and foreign museums and fascinating or irritated his viewer - a chunky dwarf that is recognizably the same in its various panels and variations: the "Kopfftüßler" by Horst Antes, one of the most famous German painters. The multiple award-winning artist lives in Karlsruhe, Germany. Speculative interpretations of sense of his character are "My cephalopods" him contrary to, so he says, "I am. A figure which I fill with allusions, thoughts, wishes and fears, until I see myself in it."
Big skull and Saulenbeine: the ur type of the antes figure. Brutal and childish, threatening and idyllic mingle mysteriously antes paints his cephalopods about 50 times a year and keeps most variants for themselves, although they be traded high on art fairs.

The Heinrich-Hertz-Institut in Berlin, named it started after the discovery of electromagnetic waves, 50 years ago with the study of oscillations. Back then, it was the improvement of broadcasting technology.
Today, the communication systems of the future will be tested here. For the post, the television and the electronics industry, Berlin scientists explore the news technology of tomorrow and develop it to the point of production. As this speech recognition system that identifies the caller using the stored computer data. Retrieve button text and image information: this service for TV customers will already tested by German television. The viewer can retrieve the stored results of product testing for example, before buying an asset.
The Institute occupies a leading position in fiber optic technology. In a single glass fiber, the scientist housed 15,000 telephone channels. With guide of digital technology, they developed a so-called broadband communication system that can provide a variety of services in everyday life. Optical and acoustic information can be exchanged in this way.
Here a technician a drawing his colleagues and is denying the changes with him.
Contract research that goes beyond development of ready to use systems to the establishment of jobs: "pure" science is only operated in the Heinrich-Hertz-Institut, if she promises concrete progress for the people. An open-air museum that is unique in Europe in this way. A quarter of a million visited visitors in the year in the Westphalian Mäckingerbach of technical cultural history of a thousand years. Everything here is genuine and authentic - even the bread that is baked according to an old recipe without the common chemical additives in an old bakery which, faithfully reconstructed like all buildings and workshops - at this point.
Bread fresh from the oven - a welcome strengthening while hiking through technical eras. The first technical monument was erected here 20 years ago. Around 70 followed so far: historical workshops and factories that once will give you a comprehensive upper look on the development of trade and industry earlier in this region. All systems - this steam-powered grain mill by 1825 - are fully functional.
The Museum provides an additional attraction those visitors who To want not only to visit the plants, but also to try out. As this old hammer mill, where you can forge a sense.
Often one only understands one thing if you do it yourself. Who is in the mint a Commemorative Medal, not only a souvenir, but also industrial history has experienced concretely.

Motorcycle Festival at the Nürburgring: climax and conclusion of this year's Rennsportsaison. 6 wide champion waved, the ambition was correspondingly high.
A two-bike pile-up at the start of the quarter-litre class. It looked worse than it was. The participating drivers were uninjured, the route fire soon had the fire under control.
In the 350 cc class, the racing fans pushed the young Anton Mang the thumb. Freshly baked world champion in the 250cc class, he now wanted the one-two.
High speed chase on the 23-kilometer course of the Eifel. Fiercest rival of Mang was in Germany living South Africans John Ekerold, tied with Mang at the top the last before this decisive run was. Still introduces Mang close his pursuers.
In this class, the entire world elite at the start had gone. But the race specific Mang and Ekerold. Manages the South Africans just before the home straight, Mang to overtake. Whole 20 meters separated the young Germans at the end of the second world champion title. That Mang in the future with his rivals must expect that underscore Ekerold on his way: he presented his son - as evidence of the fact that in Germany... Roots.
