The social report a day in the autumn on a disused coal mine near Gelsenkirchen. Coal stockpile are almost 24,000 tons. Disassembly mood on one of 50 pits, which have been "robbed" and "drank" over the last 10 years, as the miner calls it. Since then, 200,000 buddy lost her job.
Recently decommissioned - the Bill "Count Bismarck" - one he most modern in Europe. Here, the professional training work of the DGB has established retraining courses. Shop fitter, power electrician, welder, or Leno - are only A few of the specialist training courses.
350 miners at the age between 25 and 45 years have so far taken the chance, after 2 years in a new profession to work in the transitional period, they earn 90 percent of their current net income. However, retraining for some low-income, is connected. Hands and eyes have to get used to the new material. Alternatively, to make the mate to the massage therapist, among the ideas with which one tries to confront the crisis in the coal.
We are often interested in us for this, as the miner is rightly in its new location: "I'm sorry you, that you had to hang the Bergmann profession on the nail?"
"No, on the contrary. I'm even glad that I came for days, and so I have at least the certainty that I every day can come back home."
"No, on the contrary, I'm glad I'm out."
"No, that does me No more suffer from."
"Why not?"
"Well, the miner has no future anyway."
"Would you also today No more go to an other Bill?"
"No, definitely not more."
"Why not?"
"Now Tell me Jay a bill again, where is still a future!"
"Is the changeover here difficult for you?"
"The only thing that gave trouble so A little bit at the beginning before all things, that is the theoretical, Yes, because we are so different we have worked years already hardly somehow mentally."
At least 20 collieries to be closed yet. Then, unemployment threatens some 50,000 miners. We talked with those who already remained "on track": "I was a jobless miner 27 years, for 4 weeks, in Gelsenkirchen is no work to get. So we are forced to tear down our pigeons for the head, and if we get assigned a job, there are four or five man they need and forty man be sent."
"My situation is hopeless. I get very little money, for the first time, which 140 mark every 14 days, there is still 20 cents off missing, and I wouldn't know I have three minor children, as I come from that."
"For me, I'm 57 years, what should I retrain yet?"
"What prospects do you have now?"
None at all. Just stamp and we're poor dogs."
"Oh, actually as an electrician I fear actually worry for later."
"Yes, there wait always, what then is when it is done, what the economy looks like outside."

This week as the first German University Erlangen received a technical faculty. Achieve a further step in the expansion program of the Bavarian universities. The Konstituierungs certificate handed Prime Minister Dr. Huber, who said about the educational situation: "the only fight of the peoples, which will be worth in the future, is the intellectual competition, and it's our task, our education policy, to ensure that we can win in this fight as German position coming to us and then also claim."
About the Ungeistigkeit which runs this campaign beyond the Berlin wall, the British Foreign Minister Brown settled during a visit to Berlin inform. Britain wants a reunified Germany with Berlin as the capital, declared the Minister Moreover expressly repeated the Berlin guarantee by the British Government.
"The Presidium of the session is not agreed. It must be counted."
One of the most unusual votes of the German Parliament began with the decision of the Bundestag Vice President Carlo Schmidt. In the mutton jump, the Bundestag decided on an SPD motion, the Federal Chancellor to request to put the question of confidence. From the unexpected result, the CDU/CSU drew the consequences now: "it took a vote: 499 members of the House, with 'Yes' voted no 255, with"No"244, abstention." The application with 5070 is thus adopted."
The Bonn press asked what was in each year, to the ball than actually like dancing anyone feel. But the Federal press ball attracted the biggest names in politics and journalism as usual. The presence of women and dekolletiertem decor only apparently defused the discussions. We took a stroll through a round of rumors.

Songs of the world his home is located between California and Berlin, his songs sing of the fate of minorities and the oppressed. Don Paulin - an American singer? the folklore more means than sentimental songs of home. We met him and his songs in Hamburg.
