US Secretary of State Dean Rusk came to a short visit to Bonn. He had informed Chancellor Kiesinger and Foreign Minister Brandt about the situation is caused by new measures of the Communist Government in East Berlin against the travel between West Germany and Berlin. Surprisingly, as everywhere in Europe an opening of the borders occurred or is sought, the Ulbricht regime introduced passport and visa requirements. Also imposed special taxes for the transport of goods. The three Western powers in identical scores protested against this disability of domestic passenger and freight transport.
At the border crossing congestion occurred in the first days after the promulgation of the measures. Later, the traffic is normalized. The Federal Cabinet decided reinforced Berlin help as well as the refund of visa and transport costs.
Chancellor Kiesinger arrived in the German capital. In his first statement, he said: "The Government is determined to do everything in its power to preserve the viability of this city."
The situation makes twenty years ago are memories of the siege of the city by the Soviet occupying power up. In March 1948, the Russians had left the Allied Control Council. What followed was a total blockade of West Berlin. American and British built an air bridge and provided around 2 million inhabitants of eleven months only from the air. Only the Russians broke off the blockade in May 1949.
In those days, the Governing Mayor, Ernst Reuter, pronounced what millions have: "peoples of the world, her peoples in America, in England, in France - you look on this city and recognizes that you may not disclose this city and this people, can not disclose."

Spread out like a panorama of the Rhine is lying. So the landscape between the Black Forest and Vosges 140 years ago described a novel travel manual, which today is one of the "classics": the Baedeker. The great-grandson of the Publisher, Dr. Karl Baedeker says: "the Guide were translated into all languages of the world, its circulation is in the millions."
Publisher seat is Freiburg, whose Wahrzeichen the Minster was built over 700 years ago. The largest city in the southern black forest was one of the first objects which the Baedeker extensively wrote about. The daily flower market to the Fraumünster Church belongs to the image of the city - then as now -.
Three centuries Masons worked on this building. An example was the Notre-Dame Cathedral. The slender Gothic Tower is considered one of the most beautiful in Germany.

For a scholarly school, it is said in the deed of Foundation, this city is particularly well suited: "because of pure heaven, the excellent area and the healthy air".
Even before the exhibition was opened, there were protests and polemics. Never, the documenta in Kassel, biggest and elaborate modern, current art show was more contentious than this year. The reason: The radical bold program of the Organizer to show only works 4/5 years.
In the Aue Park Christo the landmark of 4th Bulgaro American tried to erect documenta: an 80-metre Trevira shell, full of air pumped - as largest plastic plastic of in the air the world should stand.
An important tendency: the move away from the piece of art in the traditional sense. Objects - art objects, that No more be sure To want to depict reality, but who themselves are "Reality" are what is created.
Strong note: the room column by Erich Hauser and Tajiris nodes from polyester. Motor and imaginative Manager is Prof. Arnold Bode. He says: "our selection is not final. But we believe that the exhibition reflected the complex situation of today's art - typical examples. "In the night, trying to inflate the plastic plastic - but the air escapes again and again.

It has called a Museum for one hundred days the documenta. It has long been a provocative, stimulating anti-Museum most alive and full of surprises.

Prelude to the 86th Kiel week. On the sailing of the Olympic Games of 1972, there were three days races of 970 boats from 21 Nations. For many, it was about the qualification for this year's Olympics in Mexico.
The weather was changing. Many boats capsized in high winds. New classes and types were given a chance: fared surprisingly well the double hull boats - Catamarans -.
At the big Lake regatta between Kiel and Eckernförde "Coat of arms of Hamburg" is one of the Favorites. The built in 1935, 17 m long boat with 450 m sail area was faster than all other competitors. It won the race in its class in 3 hours 33 minutes.
