1. the United Nations in New York. President of the General Assembly has since last year Rüdiger von Wechmar, permanent UN representative of the Federal Republic of Germany. His words of thanks after his election was almost forgotten, that the Federal Republic is member of the United Nations only for 8 years.
The relations between the two German States had to be regulated first, before 1973 the German flags could be raised in front of the UN building. The former Bonn Foreign Minister Scheel promised that the Federal Republic with all forces will employ for the goals of the United Nations.
Particularly the developing countries expected to help of the economically powerful Germany. Even if not all expectations were - that prevented the explosion of oil prices and the global economic downturn - so the balance of German development aid can be yet see. The Federal Republic financed a variety wirtschaftl I built important projects in the beneficiary countries, trained thousands of professionals, participated in the food aid for the hunger areas in the world and doubled their financial performance in the last two years from 1.5 to 3 billion dollars. Of many developing countries is that the Federal Republic of verstarkte the technology transfer and opened their markets to the products of the third world registered particularly approvingly. Now, the Germans expect that other countries, especially in Eastern Europe, do more for development aid.
"It is Very much often claimed, and has been not refuted so far, that development aid services throughout the Eastern States taken together do not even reach half of, what makes available the Federal Republic alone to development aid."
The North-South dialogue assumes the mutual benefit and common interest. The export-dependent German industry State also benefits from it.
"We should keep ten always in mind, that the developing countries are not only suppliers of raw materials, but also consumers of our products, i.e. they are our future markets or will stay there. "What is needed is to add the economic decolonization to the political decolonisation, or in other words, to strive for a partnership between industrialized countries and developing countries."
Partnership is in fact required, because urns for some developing countries is economic survival. On the 11th World Energy Conference in Munich, it was clear that many States of the third world can No more pay expensive oil. Alternative energy systems need to be developed. Also this objective compels industrialised and developing countries to a global Conference. "Global in the double sense of the word: global once, because they tackle global issues soil - energy, raw materials, development, monetary and finance - trade, globally as well, because for the first time the North-South dialogue to spread with the participation of the future eastern Europe and China." The sense is, to make the economic relations between the North and the South or the industrialized countries and the developing countries on a new basis and to adapt them to the 80's and 90's."
In preparation for this global Conference, the President of the UN General Assembly saw his main task. What expect the developing countries of the Federal Republic, has gained sufficiently clarity about of Wechmar during his tenure.
"I can answer it with a single sentence, that the Federal Republic of Germany is also their policy options in addition to their economic power."
02. it's a rainy morning in the Heath. An artist begins to send a signal. Landscape and art. Art in the landscape. A piece of the Lüneburg Heath seemed like from space and time, since artistic objects have changed the proportion and dimension of this ancient cultural landscape.
Observe the landscape, people, and their mentality and then on an allocated space... Position: this is the condition for every artist is invited to here.
Initiator and promoter is a private gallery: summer scene of Symposium, workshop for artists and "Open House" for the homeland-connected population, long needed to befriend with the alienated face of their landscape.
The Frenchman Jean Clareboudt leaves his work "Windberg" proposed maturity: "his life", he says, "His death is involved at the same time also inevitably distinguished before wear and tear, in the end of his life."
03. German Protestant Kirchentag in Hamburg. Is this great meeting of the evangel European Christians Instead of every two years. 55% of the German population are committed to this belief. The youth was this time clearly in the majority - and thus also their questions and problems, which found a sympathetic ear at the Hamburg Bishop Wölber.
"Have we not fear in our concrete civilization, with the pestiferous air and poisoned rivers? I Thinking of you young people: your life will tell you something is wrong. What will become of our future? Are you perhaps a generation to be feared determined?"
"Don't be afraid" slogan of this church felt many young people as a too simplistic response to their worries and fears. The meeting of Christians, as always an encounter between the denominations and races, was a demonstration for disarmament and peace in many places. But this Kirchentag with its 120,000 participants is difficult to bring on etnen denominator. Where ever they came together, not the questions that get people here fell silent: the relationship between the generations, the right way to peace and the search for the meaning of life. And in the midst of this present programming: the Hall of silence - for moments of reflection.
Encouraged the involvement of participants in the issues of the time: the fight against war and hunger in the world is for Christians no political slogan, but a claim that is the Christian religion to each individual. Much, Very much, A lot is still to do in this field. And so this Church Congress in a mood of anxious thoughtful sounded off.
04. many people must starve because food production keeps pace with the growth of the world population. New chemical substances and cultivation methods are tested on the Limburger Hof near Ludwigshafen make world's powerful agriculture. This comparison shows what causes the upper voltage of potato fields with perforated plastic film.
This water-saving irrigation system was developed for dry regions.
The vegetation Hall of this largest agricultural experimental station in Europe examines the Wachtumsleistung of various plant nutrients and explores the context between additional irrigation, fertilization and plant protection.
The plant health research is particularly important, because still a third of the world crop by crop and livestock pests will be lost. In this test a new chemical compound on weeds has been drizzled.
In extensive laboratory testing all chemicals be singled out, which could endanger the environment and human health.
After successful trials in the greenhouse and laboratory new substances in free-range large To try more testable. Today, plastics, fertilizers and plant protection are the most important means to increase agricultural production. All the time also experts from developing countries, which will receive important information for the solution of their problems are among the trade visitors from home and abroad.
05. the East side is the serious side, the Düsseldorf say with feigned seriousness. You stroll on the Western, the cheerful side. The speech is from Düsseldorf's famous Königsallee "KÖ", as experts call it. A wide ditch, lined on both sides by an avenue of chestnuts and plane trees, splits the Königsallee in their light-hearted and serious side. Seriously, because it's about money. And with the money the fun stop as you know. Banks, corporate headquarters, authorities determine the face of the eastern side. Düsseldorf is the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, the largest German Federal State, and its economic and administrative center. The "KÖ" owes its reputation to be Germany's most elegant promenade and shopping street the other side, the cheerful. Here, the money that is earned on the eastern side, is issued again with full hands. The researcher is chic for their known for their suspension to expensive or extravagant fashion. Luxury here belongs to the day to day use.
The many international shops of upmarket attract visitors from the neighbouring countries of Belgium and Netherlands. The Duesseldorf hospitable take them from their own bitter experience. Their King Avenue was once called "Chestnut Avenue". As 1848 rode a Prussian King through the street, he was pelted with horse manure. The Duesseldorf repented that so Very much that they their Kastanienalleeals Wiedergutmachtung in Königsalleeumtauften.
06. tornadoes, the double hull-racer from the United States, are always on the "Kieler Woche" eye-catcher for visitors. They are the fastest sailboats and depend even motor boats with favourable breeze.
The Kiel conveying belongs to the most attractive sailing areas in the world. 99 years Kiel week is held here every summer, a world meeting of the sailors on the regular Olympic and world champion measure their forces. 3500 participants from 25 countries took part this time.
The sporting doldrums when the German sailors who could win No more since 1977, went on the Kiel week end. In the seven Olympic boat classes, the hosts were four times the regatta winner - a good starting point for the European and World Championships.
