Under the microscope: The pressure on the button - once the symbol for our economic growth - is today the presses of German newspapers when it comes to publish the controversy around the sale of the German economic miracle. Prosperity - so loud sceptical voices - has gnawed at the hard work of the German concern. Entrepreneurs, however, the trade unions complain of nachlasende productivity -, demand still less than average 234 working days in the year. "We are of the opinion that these reductions in working hours due to the favourable economic and industrial results in the West German economy without further ADO to cope with."
"Oh, I would like to say, a further reduction in working hours would be always pleasant, if the money also would be accordingly."
"That would be good."
"By a reduction in working hours, wage increases I expect nothing, unless the food prices don't go up."
"Speaking of a lower export ability of a lower competitiveness and it fails to point out completely on the fact that it is not only important to produce goods, but also to get the people who are in the production, sanitary."
An entrepreneur explains this view as an example of the profitability of a machine.
"One hour shorter working hours means the performance by 500,000 people in manufacturing and services. We have significantly extended the leisure in the past few years. We had to deal with so about 1 million foreigners. These sources are but not infinite, and we need therefore a break in the further reduction of working hours. 40 hours of work are not acceptable at the moment for us."
"We have here an aluminum press to the sheathing of cables. This press caused capital cost of 102 marks per hour under the prerequisite of a 48-hour work period and a two-layer operation. By the meanwhile carried out reductions of working time, these capital costs are meanwhile climbed 122 mark. The more of the 65,000 mark is converted to the year. 5 people are employed at this press. These 5 people earn no more than this cost increase. You will see, that alse received a huge impact this cost of capital through these Arbeitezeitverkürzung. I think this example is already very instructive enough to prove, that further reductions in working hours for our competitiveness, especially things in view of the forthcoming EEC and the Niederreißung of the tariff walls are disastrous."
Around 20 million German workers rarely find time to keep in mind that stationary machines rise ultimately to their laboriously acquired wealth. Her attention is paid to the hours when the factory gate is closed and 131 days offered in prosperity to be cost.
Germany basks in the self-satisfied consciousness to control every year 1 million new cars, and the stalwarts ringing of funds reveals that no price certainly not is too high the German Michel - if-won free time is devoted to the hobby of good food.
And yet he has rendered to the fatherland: In an international comparison of performance in 1963 the German Michel won the gold medal for the highest private consumption. Range: More than 50 years, this military, Bürgersleut and courtiers claim leisure of a kaftan. It is Friedrich Schirmer from Burgdorf, which a world of the past has built up with 40000 historically faithful pewter figures. He taunts his own design in a form. After the casting carefully painted - populate the 30 mm high players - the battle field of a memorable battle, reconstructed with scientific meticulousness, or parquet of glittering Court festivals.
Centuries are strung in peaceful harmony. In addition to the Kümpen of the battle of Waterloo, the pristine high by the fray Celler troops before the March after Hungary, the care of this Lisbhabers acknowledged the City Government with a promise to build for his collection, a private museum.
But who has the financial resources, settles not en miniaturs, but with oversized dimensions in a past century. The brothers Rét horé in France established according to your own ideas – with the help of local semi-skilled workers uni farmers - a colossal castle building - in a way to pass the time as a hobby.
To the interior decoration engaierten you foreign painters and sculptors, not all walls of the huge halls could equip brother pair with originals, who have gathered from all over Europe.
Worrying views of Roman art admirer is focused on Michelangelo's Pietà, which must leave its location at St. Peter's Church for a travel of representation of for the first time after more than 400 years. The insurance company finally decided the American Vatican experts dispute the safest travel costume. Highly insured and dipped over his head in fine-grained plastic material, covered by a wood - and Metallfelate, and yet irreplaceable, she starts her trip to America for the world exhibition to New York. Sports: The jubilation of the HSV pendants in the Hamburg Volksparketadion applies a team for a single record is at stake. Commit 12 home games without defeat. - And from the very first moment, the HSV proves that he can be the next German champions, the 1 FC Cologne playing in white, a worthy opponent.
The cold and wet weather and heavy bottom don't seem to like Cologne. Their attack run slow and not to score succeed despite the greater chances in the 1st half.
Just before the break, the redeeming moment comes for the HSV. A controversial eleven meter decision. Cross is deceptive and scored 1-0.
The hard usage, respond with the Cologne, remains in the painting of fair Unpleasantries and expectantly as the spectators the 1 FC Cologne the flood light-bright 2nd half starts with his impressive array of seven internationals. But her big rush remains out. The HSV dominates the scene. Seven minutes before the final whistle Cologne storm developed his most combination game. A precise through ball to Weber, who shoots up to the 1:1 succeeds in Overath. The game ends in a draw. - But the followers of both teams celebrating his victory.
For an event that is available only to a few football in South America, preparing the best Gauchos from Uruguay. In the arena of Montevideo, the hard months where the ungezügelste vitality of wild horses to be tamed start for them.
Tamed only with a blindfold and several assistants, who grew up in the wild animal can be like the first civilisation advances. Hands of the gauchos are closely intertwined with the horse's mane hair, because only so he has a chance to get through the ride.
This Sunday offers the great opportunity to demonstrate their daily work and to demonstrate their legendary talent of riding the Spanish Indian temperament of loaded Gauchos. The number of the Gauchos has declined in recent decades, but still the Cowboys out of the South American pampas are the lifeline and admired heroes of their country.
