01 ELBE day IN TORGAU 0'34 Torgau, a town in Saxony, Germany, with its beautiful castle Hartenfels.
0'43 in 1945, setting a spectacular encounter. --Two weeks before the war--American and Soviet soldiers met at this bridge. It was coincidence. Spontaneously, she fell into his arms and celebrated the victory over Hitler's Wehrmacht. Understanding between peoples and peaceful life together, that was their hope for the future.
1'05 the brothers in arms by once, 47 years later. War veterans and young soldiers meet again on the bridge - Russians and Americans. During the cold war, the contact was not torn down.
1'27 but they came not only from the United States and Russia. The so-called "Elbe Day" became an international meeting: thousands of Germans and people from other European countries were to meet in the spirit of encounter from 1945 each other, to share their thoughts and experiences.
1'50 of the "Elbe Day" is held every year. 1'57 the Elbe of Torgau - it will remain in the future a place of encounter between East and West.
02. Quedlinburg 2'10 a town like from an old German picture book: Quedlinburg on the edge of the Harz mountains. Those who come here, is intrigued. More than 1,600 favored façades of the houses in narrow, winding alleys characterise the image since the middle ages. As a Hanseatic town, Quedlinburg could afford the sophisticated craft arts.
2'33 today more than ever is the 27,000 inhabitants town in Saxony-Anhalt on tourism. We followed a group of visitors - and their guide.
2'43 "in Quedlinburg six centuries can be seen timber-frame building. Accordingly, we have the oldest timber-framed building of in Central Europe, stand construction, which we now find ourselves here, too. The House was inhabited until 22 years ago, when it took over the preservation and one has extensively restored it."

3'21 on washed out cobblestones are on the glorious, towering over the town Castle Hill. Once German history was made in the Royal Palace: 3'34 "King Heinrich I - he lived at the beginning of the 10th century - was the first monarch who United all German tribes under a sceptre. He has stayed on here very much in Quedlinburg. He is honored today as the founder of the German nation and the German Reich."
3'48 the Romanesque Collegiate Church housed one of the most important collections of religious art of the early Middle Ages, the Quedlinburg Cathedral treasure. After the war disappeared and surfaced recently in America, he will be returned soon.
4'07 despite 1000-jähriger history remains Quedlinburg today alive.
03. Foreign investment 4'18 apply trade fairs, such as here in Leipzig, as a measure for the economic situation. In East Germany, they signal a positive trend; foreign capital flows to the new German market, in particular from France. Since Germany's unification, many State-owned enterprises of the former GDR from French companies were bought - in Hagenow, the milk works.
4'46 of the sale of a former State enterprise is made dependent from securing jobs and the long-term commitment of the buyer.
5'00 here in Hagenow, a dairy Center of the new federal States, has the French inverse gate now installed a modern cheese plant.
5'19 proximity advertising. Fast talk is, that is the new owner with new products on the market.
5'29 in the Brandenburg town of Rathenow a French Untemehmer established a branch plant, where glasses are manufactured. He was advised also by the French economic expert Erik Veaux. Why are so many French company involved in East Germany?
5'46 "when one speaks of the last few years, one must remember that France is the first economic partner of Germany and also the first of the GDR." It is quite natural that after the turn of the French companies very much have committed."
6'09 foreign investments in Eastern Germany are welcome. You contribute that are performance - based and competitive company, jobs will be created and the economic upturn will receive further impetus.
04. airships from Mühlheim 6'25 of the bug - the tail with the tail - the operator and the passenger gondola. 6'32 parts of a flying ship of that is under the name "Zeppelin" developed early this century and became world famous. 6'46 in the Westphalian Mühlheim has a young team of engineers the old idea taken up, to build a flight system, which is lighter than air.
6'59 is the only series manufacturer of airships in the world. The 60-metre air glide skin consists of a rubber-coated plastic netting. The 600 pieces of tear-resistant outer shell are glued individually crafted.
The role models were up to 250 meters long by 7'17. The design was based on a metal skeleton and an explosive gas mixture. Today, non-flammable helium is used.
7 still fascinate airships as the freshly married couple on the way to the seventh heaven.
7'54 Helmut Roos is one of about 30 pilots in the world who can fly this air gliders. Modern technology in the cockpit helps him.
8 find use airships as an advertising medium. But their applications are varied: mainly in environmental protection. As a monitoring platform in coastal protection and marine research. Or as a measuring station, to analyze pollution. The reason: they fly very slowly – non-stop for up to 22 hours, noise, vibration, and low in pollutants. Without question - the modern airships have a future.
05. port pilots 8'43 of the port of Hamburg; any larger vessel that here runs out, need navigational aid.
This is pilot thing. From their operations center at the port entrance, it is with full speed to a British freighter carrying container for Hamburg.
9'00 which is Jacob's ladder already let down - the pilot is on board.
9'09 welcome to the bridge. Even if the pilot is officially only consultants of the captain; actually, he is the Director on board.
Jürgen Wiese conducted the big ships to their berths for 17 years. He must have many years experience as a sea captain. And detailed local knowledge. Until then, he may work as a pilot. A task that no machine can replace.
9'40 the pilot - from here are the operations coordinated; determined in close co-operation with the nautical traffic control center, which registers all incoming and outgoing ships and the ship berths in the harbour.
9'59 in poor visibility are the colleagues on the radar a vital aid. From the station, you can capture every angle of the port of Hamburg.
10'11 an unusual task waits for Willi Wölm and Dietrich Petersen. It requires special nerve of the two harbour pilot.
10'21, a Greek tanker. The third largest ship ever launched in Hamburg, has been repaired at a shipyard dry dock. Now it should be back in the fairway. Also belongs to the work of the port pilots.
10'37 of the port of Hamburg is tight and the tidal current of the river Elbe an additional risk. The manoeuvre must be carried out in an hour. Otherwise there is risk of the 345-metre Ozeanriese to run aground. 10 press the tanker'53 five tractors with 11,000 HP in the middle of the stream. The tail ahead that will be "Olympic amour" stretches pulled. First, at the port exit the ship with the help of the flow can be used again to take course on the world's oceans.
06. Fußball - Bundesliga 11'12 great scenery at the top of the German Bundesliga in Frankfurt. The Cup has rarely been as exciting as this season. At the top of the table Eintracht Frankfurt in the German Bundesliga as well as the - playing in white - guest from Stuttgart.
11'29 Frankfurt trying to transform the home advantage into goals. After all, your storm is the most successful in the League. Unlike of the VFB Stuttgart: he is the best defense. Even the referee down must go there.
11'51 who was expecting a defensive of the VFB, pleasantly surprised. The Stuttgart striker not only vigorously mix with - they are also successful. 12'01 the last minute of the first half: a magnificent flank on the head by Manfred Kastl and the Stuttgart go 1-0 at the break.
12'16 after halftime a nervous acting Eintracht Frankfurt in Bundesliga. Of the famous midfield is hardly something to see.
12'30 then a solo; try Ralf Weber Nice Paß in the course of Uwe Bein, but well differentiated the Stuttgart defence destroys the action. Anyway the Frankfurt fans remain optimistic and not be disappointed: free kick, right shot - latte; Lothar Sippel per head and it is 1-1 in the 58th minute.
13'00 cheering in the stands. The Frankfurt with new vigor; want to decide now by a quick opening goal of the game. Without success.
13'15 on the other hand the Stuttgart. A victory in the worst competitors - that would be something! But it remains in a 1:1.
