At Christmas time that light which moved and planted the Christian faith in the hearts of the people, with the star of Bethlehem over the world falls to the hour of the Holy night in the parlors of the small Spanish town of San Pedro de Gaillos in the Sierra of Castille. Beer at the cradle of a strict Catholic faith has retained the original in the ceremony of the Holy night and hardly any in the world. With the strength of faith joins the happiness of these people about the birth of Christ. With this simple, will traditional actions commit the inhabitants of San Pedro de Gaiilos the hour of the Holy night.
The ruins of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. Memorial and witness of an era of violence - in the city of Germans in Berlin. The God House, newly built in the modern style of the Church on the third Sunday of advent of Bishop Dibelius was with the call: "Country, hear word of the Lord!" opened. Among the guests of honour of the Governing Mayor Willy Brandt, the Minister for all-German Affairs, Ernst Lemmer, and Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia. After the ceremonial keys of the architect, Prof. Eiermann, the gateway to this new church for all the faithful is open daily, for all people, carrying the sparks of light of faith, love and hope in their hearts in and outside this city especially during this time.

Art or art or crisis crisis: about this cultural existence question won an auction of old paintings in New York recently. "Aristotle" scoring the record price of DM 9 million Rembrandt's. But also the "classical"avant-garde shown at Sotheby's in London, that she not only 1' type pour 1'art painted, but including the Picasso represented a value concept of 4 million 730 thousand mark. However, so that we are not yet at the end of our art. You looking for new ways. Where they lead, seems still doubtful given the lively experimental appetite of many artists. This is Monsieur Heimann from Paris. His daily bottle consumption is approx. 50 pieces – empty of course - he used their shards for reliefs, which are later glued to the Windows of a cathedral. Modern art is magical in a disenchanted world. This young lady is in the workshop for surface design group "T" in Milan model. As superficial as that may seem, here goes the art very under the skin, because the magnetically influenced nails provide a true picture of the young lady. It seems many modern art - us as a synthesis of waste and scrap - a fright of the citizens, for the high prices are traded and we really must ask ourselves, whether it is art or a crisis.

Sport of the week Baden-Baden: at the end of the season, the German sports press chose the sportsman of the year. Heidi Schmidt, who is the most dangerous woman in the world on the piste, distinguished himself as a "Female athlete of the year" by modesty. Countess accepted trips for her mortally injured son of the badge of honor. Graf Berghe von trips has become a worthy "sportsman of the year 1961". A man, who was not only a great driver, but also a role model for the youth as almost always in the final meters of his race, has again put an admirable finish Manfred Germar also towards the end of his career and a great second place in Baden-Baden. The German football fans will be particularly pleased that the master Elf from the 1st FC Nuremberg was also team of 1961, because this success is almost as much as the victory in the final of the German Championship.

Hochkönig: at the foot of the Hochkönig are Austria's skiers back on my feet and pulling strange tracks in the snow. There are traces of the ex-world champion Sepp Bradl and his students. In General, the Sepp with the attitude of his world championship candidates Walter Habersatter, Willi Egger, Peter Müller and Otto Leodolter is completely satisfied. But if a jumper "ski flying", he holds with pithy criticism not behind the mountains.

Munich: The tough guys from bad Tölz tried on their victory run to the German championship the strongest rival, to allow EV feet out of the way. But today the Allgäu to the course. Wide shot and 1:0 for feet. At Munich's Prince Regent stadium is in the first third of the Tölzer goalkeeper three times nobleman put to the test and thrice outwits. In the second third of the Tölzer replaced their goalkeeper and switch to a tougher ride. Finally, the men to Hans steam find an alley. You approach dangerous to 2:3. The game is dramatic. The EV Füssen feels strong enough today to quagmire of bad Tölz to make up the 1:8 -. With great determination the sieggewohnten Tölzer defend themselves, but in vain. The EV Füssen remains successful 5-3.

The duck's aria in the rationalization process of our mass production was switched on now the duck with. In the Oldenburg Westerscheps, each year over a million bratfertiger birds leave this the world's largest duck farm. And though they go the way of all flesh in rapid succession, they are glad anyway, especially at Christmas.
