The portrait of UFA: Dr. Ernst May the UFA Wochenschau visited the world-famous architect Professor Dr. Ernst May at his home in Hamburg-Othmarschen. A look at the home of the most important German Städtebauers documented the modern setting of the House Mr. The establishment is a compelling combination of simple beauty with sober expediency.
Professor May significantly contributed to change the architectural face of many domestic and foreign cities. His revolutionary ideas do not always met with skepticism, but ultimately his style turned out to be harmonious, because it corresponded to the landscape and the nature of the people. Often, his designs were awarded. The settlement of Lorenz in Lübeck, Germany clearly shows the ideas of the architect: flat buildings that never lose the connection to nature, are dominated by the Centre of the settlement, a 12-stöckigen high-rise building. (Original sound)

Chronicle of the week Moscow: in Moscow, the Syrian Minister Asem signed an agreement according to which Syria credit receives $100 million. A significant act in the face of the new prokommunistischen Government in Damascus.

Since that time, Lourdes is the destination of pilgrims from all over the world every year.
