01 ISPO Munich four days there was hustle and bustle in Munich's exhibition halls. At ISPO, the international sporting goods fair, 1,600 exhibitors, showed what they have to offer.
Sports shoes and sports clothing remain the stampede. But not a little comes also the manufacturers of sports equipment. There was new equipment on the topic of "Home-Training" in rich numbers.
From 41 countries, producers and traders in terms of sports to this largest sporting goods trade show in the world came to Munich. Because sport has already become the worldwide business. American skateboards made of Canadian Maple and German roller!
But even with the good old bicycle, new features can be found. For long trips it offered complete "trekking equipment" and instead of the usual crank so a motorcycle can be also with pedals in swing.
At the Segelsurfen, the economy has abated after years of stormy upward trend. Need new products, E.g. This device, also to House ira to surf dry. The home trainer for surfers can be programmed as desired - to wind force 9.

02. IMF-Congress in Berlin had never seen the State of the art Convention Center in Berlin a big international conference. Hermetically shielded by a restive public, the 43rd annual meeting of the "International Monetary Fund" and "Bank" took place. 10,000 delegates from all 151 member countries around the globe came to this largest Congress which took place in Germany.
The international debt crisis causes great concern. The debt of $1,200 billion threatens to ruin many countries, especially in the third world and in South America. What can be done about it?
Outside of the world currency Congress sought in numerous events for answers. In a discussion of the German Foundation for development and peace, former German Chancellor Willy Brandt recalled that the rich today Germany was also once debtors of the world: "maybe we should just German mind - we elders have more in the awareness that we in 1953 are been treated well with the London debt agreement as the re-grown -."
At the Technical University, a "counter"Congress met on the opponent of the Monetary Fund and the World Bank in part radical criticised. 'Violent dialogue is a healthy process', the World Bank President Barber Conable praised the various events in Berlin. Because whether poor or rich: you're in the same boat.
But there was also action. German Finance Minister Gerhard Stoltenberg assured the head of the International Monetary Fund, Michel Camdessus, in writing, that the Federal Republic of Germany have the intention to contribute to the "Advanced structural" of the Monetary Fund. The Federal Republic had issued obligations of 7.2 billion already different third world countries in recent years.
Before the General Assembly, German Chancellor Helmut Kohl campaigned for a better protection of the environment in development aid and reiterated the stance of Germany as a fair partner for development and the world trade.
"Dor prosperity, in which we live, committed to help effectively. Is - quite simply - a bit more justice. For Justice is future!"

03. the old lighthouse and the tall ships at the entrance to the port of Travemünde have long served ferry boats. Other ships dominated the waters today. Through the expansion of dos port succeeded the old Hanseatic City of Lübeck, the most important German hub on the Baltic Sea to make their port of Travemünde.
The Scandinavia Quay is today, as previously only on the large ship terminals in Hambung and Bremen. The ferry traffic in the Baltic Sea to Denmark, Sweden and Finland has increased from year to year - and also the size of vessels, the mankaum still as "Ferries" may attract. With up to 30,000 gross register tons, they have already reached the volume of former transatlantic liner. The piers had to be constantly increased in the last ten years and enlarged.
About 800,000 vehicles use the FShren now, the number of passengers has tripled in 20 years.
But most of the cargo traffic has grown. The cargo handling in Travemünde was 20 years ago at modest 300,000 tons, today more than thirty as much goods pass the Scandinavia-Kai: over 10 million tons. The containers, which simply be unloaded from the car or most directly and conveniently roll with their trucks on Board have significant share in this stormy development. Reloading is not necessary.
Due to the expansion of the ferries to Scandinavia the old Lübeck has directly on the border to East Germany, located, recovered following the flows of goods and freight transport in the Baltic Sea region.

04. the German sports badge like at the start of the tour de France that not just came out. And yet, an equally exciting race is imminent from the point of view of the participants. The 20 kilometers, which they must stampeln, belong to the performance requirements of the German sports badge.
Managers, workers and pensioners effort as well as schoolchildren, to succeed the exercises. This competition for amateur athletes, which in Germany annually 700,000 women and men Travis include skiing, cycling, swimming and athletics. Despite deed's is obviously looser than in professional sports.
The German sports badge is now age 75 years. For the promotion of grassroots sport in Germany, it is one of the most important institutions was - and did!

05. Rock spectacle in Hamburg in the early morning. But the calm is deceptive. It simmers beneath the surface of the Hanseatic City. For ten days, Hamburg is setting the biggest rock spectacle in the Federal Republic.
Nearly 200 bands introduce themselves and their music. Half of the group comes from Hamburg itself, as also the five of the daisy chain. The organizers have deliberately on big international names. The Festival is first and foremost an inventory current "rock music made in Germany" be. And which is closely linked to Hamburg since the days of the Beatles. The four Liverpudlian had started their career here.
The open air theatre faces the Town Hall in the heart of the event. But above all in the 15 clubs young talents can prove what they can do and whether they to impose on the public assets.
Much respect: the Soviet performance group AVIA! The 20 young Soviet musicians now in Hamburg at the Rock Festival occur - or better may occur, was still a short time ago does not of course.
In the ten days - and especially nights -, it has proved that the rock music still inspires. Four here was whether musicians or spectators, will come back next year.

06. fascination gliding flying without an engine, only carried by the wind, has an its own fascination, which attracts more and more people captivated. There are 26,000 glider pilots in Germany. One of them is Robert Schröder. The German Champion in the standard class sailplane flight sat for the first time in a glider at age 14. Since flying without an engine has not released him.
The few instruments are checked immediately before the start. All clear at the start: the tow rope is hooked. The motor plane takes the glider to height.
When will release the tow rope, the challenge of motorless flight begins. It applies to overcome gravity and to use the updrafts. And it is there at the edge of the Swabian Alb enough. This barren plateau in southern of Germany is a Mecca of the glider.
After hours, the ground has again him. But the fascination of flying keeps him: "there are two things that fascinate me in gliding, and for a the interplay between technology and nature, constantly on the nature to settle down, to get into new situations. And the second is the flying experience, freedom, independence, the feeling of flying alone. This is the fascinating gliding."
