01 back to Germany Friedland, a small but renowned village in Northern Germany. It takes still German resettlers from the eastern territories under Polish administration and the settlements in Eastern Europe. Most come from Poland, Romania and the Soviet Union. You are looking for their human rights and want to preserve the language, culture and faith. Empress Maria Theresia had launched 200 years ago the ancestors of the Aussiedler today to settle in Transylvania in the Balkans. Transylvania today belongs to Romania. Also the Russian Empress Catherine II recruited tens of thousands of Germans to the country East fruitful to make the Volga at that time to populate. There were the Germans, developed the economy and founded cities and villages with German names.
"There were 25 colonies, German: worms-Rohrbach, Waterloo, Speyer, Landau, Katharinental, Sulz Johannistal - all these villages... still more." I know they don't all... ." There are about 3.5 million Germans in Eastern Europe. Many of them are in the Federal Republic of Germany, because they see their situation as hopeless. "Why did you come to Germany?" "Because I'm German. I came here after my Mutterspracheundwill here weiterleben until end - for life. Also because of the children. I want, the children heard also German, to their mother tongue, the German".
The Outlander are nationals of their country of origin as well as according to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of German citizens with all the rights and Plfichten. Their number is constantly growing. Since 1986 she has increased fivefold. 200,000 are expected this year. The Federal Government has set up a special programme in the billions for the Outlander. The aim is rapid integration. There are dormitories built and apartments as quickly as possible. The younger ethnic Germans, for which there is no German schools particularly in Poland, not more perfectly master their mother tongue.
"First, we need to learn German." And because - job search." The incorporation of strives not only to the State. The private initiative is uppercase. To facilitate the life in Germany, help citizens and charitable organizations, such as for example the "Christian youth work" courses with dialogue training.
"My name is Christian". "Where are you?" "I come from Poland." "And where do you live now?" "I live in the youth village Celle." "Christian, live in your parents also?" "No, my parents live in Wolfsburg, Germany." "What does your father?" "My father works in VW."
The Federal Republic means above all freedom for the Outlander. Most are young, Moto-fourth and looking forward to be able to live and work in Germany.

02. Heidelberg the River up obviously Heidelberg is the characteristic of Germany for visitors from abroad. One of the main attractions of the town is the Castle. in 1566 the Ottheinrichsbau was completed, the jewel of German Renaissance architecture. You can find testimonies of the epoch between the reformation and the Dreißigjährigem war not only in Heidelberg. It is worth to leave the city and to avoid the tourist flow with the ship neckaraufwärts. Pass medieval robber castles, to reach the beautiful bad Wimpfen. The Renaissance half-timbered houses have survived the bloody and devastating riots of 1525, when, at the time the peasants against the nobility.
The first example of new architecture North of the Alps is located in Heilbronn: the Tower of St. Kilian of 1519, a building for which there was no role model. No Saint is on the top of the Tower more, but a trooper, a combative time symbol. Everywhere you looked for new values and forms. On this watch but the days of week and months indicates not minutes and hours. Old orders changed. Martin Luther rebelled against the Church, the peasants revolted against the nobility, America was discovered and accomplished the first circumnavigation. On their old Castle Liebenstein Castle Lords put a monument again: the richly decorated Renaissance Gable, a masterpiece of the Renaissance district, is one of the last buildings of this style in the German southwest. A journey narrated by much art and history by "Heidelberg up the river".

03. fight against heart attack ended before a year he down with life, after several heart attacks and two bypass operations. Erich Meinl had too much fat in the blood, which clogged the heart vessels. That he's still alive, he owes a medical technical invention, which gives new hope by many people who suffer from this so far incurable metabolic disorder. Two years ago, washes the fat from the blood, the medical devices company Brown has constructed an artificial liver.
A large scale test in nine German hospitals under the leadership of the University Clinic Göttingen was so successful that the medical world could be heard. Once in a week, the patient for two hours is connected to the device. Through this process, the cholesterol - the blood fat - is filtered out. It's a new medical technical process, whose scope of application is limited for the time being. To do this, a medic from Göttingen.
"I see the method at the moment only in such patients for displays, where the relationship between lipid metabolism is disorder and the early development of the coronal heart disease, so patients must have high fat levels that otherwise don't treat."
The prospects of success will be judged at the time still carefully. "We have concrete results in individual cases, in a regression or stoppage of the coronal heart disease, after a treatment period of approximately two years off up two weeks interval."
For example, this almost closed Herzkranzgef äß one young woman was after two years of treatment - right in the image again-free rinsed. The attack damaged woman won back their performance. As well as Erich Meinl, who was sentenced before a year to unempowered infirmity.
"Today I have power again, now I can work in the garden, I can walking make long, strenuous walks. I'm fine so, that I am actually entered into a new life."

04. Kö-fest Street parties, enjoy in recent years in practically all towns previously completely unknown, Germany's increasing popularity among citizens and visitors. The mayors and city councils deliberately promoting this lust for fun. It must be what going on, keep the city in the city. Also one of the finest, most expensive and most exclusive shopping streets in Germany, the famous "Königsallee" in Düsseldorf, was made to the General amusement of the people readily available.
Sumptuously furnished and adorned, enlivened with attraction of every kind, was it on the "Kö" on weekends and after business hours alive. The main reason, the 600-year anniversary of Düsseldorf, was little mentioned at the Street Festival on the Grand Boulevard. Sense of the Street Festival's is also the General pleasure. A little rain does not detract from the pleasure. Cities are not only for the living and working and driving there, but also to the strolling, dancing and music-making.

05. football: Germany - Netherlands in Munich fought the German football national team against the Netherlands. It was the qualification for the World Cup in 1990. 120 days in advance, in the battle for the European Championships, the Dutch had defeated the German team. Would you like to succeed the revenge now? The teams and their audience were drawn on an exciting game. 75,000 tickets had been sold. 25,000 fans, as many as have never been travelled from the Netherlands.
The Germans were concerning, especially as Dutch soccer star this time not with could be Gullit due to injury from the game. And indeed: the being of the Germans was unique. Attacks of the Dutch were rare. They played safety.
But Player errors and misunderstandings set up, surprise effects were missing. Only three times there really goal-dangerous situations in the 90 minutes. Despite greater usage nothing wanted the German team to succeed - nothing in any case, which had to lead to a scoring. The Dutch were content to have pushed the Germans of the ticket to the World Cup with 0-0 in far distance.

06. Christmas in Germany the Federal Republic of Germany at Christmas time. People throng in the festively decorated cities: is Christmas shopping time.
In the evening, the smell of figs and almonds, apples and gingerbread through the streets pulls. Every city has its Christmas market, often for many centuries. But the most important requisite for the festive days of the Christmas tree. This custom spread almost all over the world has its origin in Germany. 16 million spruce and fir trees are sold at Christmas in the Federal Republic. Usually, the family decorates the tree on Christmas Eve together. This happens in Germany for 500 years.
Then, the gifts are unwrapped. Almost unadulterated old customs in rural communities has been preserved: in Bavarian villages, the Holy three Kings wish you a good year. "Wish you a happy year... Kaspar... ... And Melchior Balthasar."
