His goal was: Europe he loved music, poetry and specialisation and surrounded himself at home with the treasures of the past epochs: Heinrich von Brentano from 1955 to 1961 Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany, died at the age of 60 years.
Henry of Brentano was one of the last aristocrats on the political stage, a statesman with the high ideal of duty and a diplomat of special grades who still abroad on one, tough and strong yet Very much kind of friendship for Germany promoted - always in the shadow of the incipient global confrontation with communism.
Persistently, he withdrew the lure to be a brilliant political Idol. His complex, almost unsociable personality was also the camera little opportunities and so there are hardly serene images of him. Nonetheless, Heinrich von Brentano his friends and opponents remembered as cheerful and gracious man, whose political Leidenschaft burned until the last minute for the European idea.

Still, Poland is not lost "called us in the West the East and to the East the West." We put these words of the Polish poet Jerzy Lee at the start of a report dealing with Poland. Poland goes its own way in the block of the Communist States since the uprising in 1956. The interests of the Polish youth lie in the Western Socialist worldview and jazz are long in Poland.
The secular-oriented face of Poland the second behind the Communist face. The Polish troops are committed to the objectives of the Warsaw Parkts. At the top of the State, almost a myth is Wladyslaw Gomulka - as inventor of a national emphasized communism. But there is a real state, where is the skepticism of the younger generation apart from this legal state of Poland. Skepticism against the ideology of the political present, but also against certain names that are associated with the recent past of Poland: Russia and Germany.
Poland in May 1945 twice from the war roll overrun, remained a devastated country. Poland had lost 38 percent of its national property.
The reconstruction of the country occurred with considerable difficulties. Pressure from the Soviet Union, Poland had to refuse 1947 the Marshall Plan aid. Faithfully the Poland Gdansk rebuilt.
Also Breslau... and Warsaw. 85 percent were destroyed, killed about 60 percent of the population. Today, the city has again its reconstructed medieval city centre and modern suburbs.
Polish youth demonstrated only reluctantly, only 1.5 percent of the students are members of the party. This people of the individualist rather enthusiastically for the artistic avant-garde, who came to the world-wide reputation after 1956.
Polish theater, film, and music To give the impulses received from the West back again.
The name of Częstochowa symbolizes a significant move in the image of Poland. 90 percent of the population are practicing Catholics. 63 bishops oversee the strange coexistence between Communism and Catholicism. Maybe the Poland from this source draw the strength to live, that they not invented and have not called in the country under a system.
"The new Europe of the West must exert on the peoples in the East a growing attraction. The wind of change is blowing across the iron curtain across."- words Kennedy, who was assassinated a year ago. On the way upwards, Tokyo is over, and it is once again time to look with the curious question on the sparse young: who will it be in Mexico? At the Hamburger Turnerschaft from 1816 trained a group of young girls, someday I hope to To give a sorely needed boost the German woman gymnastics. Among them the largest German young talent, the 16 year-old Christel Lahrs.
The balancing act is one of the particular difficulties of ground voluntary, with Christel Lahrs happened before in the German top flight. At the end of the flick-flack.
Although their training according to the rules of the Association under the youth gymnastics, Christel Lahrs turns already the third best bars routine of women in the Federal Republic. You can't forget however, that are about 4/10 points between the Federal Republic and the world's best. This means almost a class.
Kopal freestyle is lively, she is for her age of amazingly precise and full-speed. Their practice has a total of 5 handle change and complies almost an internationally notable freestyle. When Christel Lahrs perseveres, she should lead German youth champion in the national team soon to new, unprecedented success.
