Trim - you in Wolfsburg - a sensible recommendation, because the city of the largest European automobile plant got it in a timely manner, to build leisure and sports centres, which are exemplary in Europe today.
In this young, only 30 years old city, everyone has a chance to stay, each of about 92,000 inhabitants, are all More or less closely connected with the VW factory fit.
The participants in the international people running of the city of Wolfsburg, a marathon over the full distance of 42 km in area, where 390 athletes, only 50 of the route remained certified scenic location.
Wolfsburg prides itself on being a city of youth an industrial town, one does not notice it at the, whose air you can breathe safely because it is recognized as one of the four cleanest cities in the world.
Rarely, there is no wonder that in the Autostadt Wolfsburg 4 everyone a car goes, but clogged roads. Wolfsburg has planned ahead, years ago, calculates that the activities would grow. An artificial lake in the middle of the city - a place for the most hours of the day, if the factory store have closed.
The German Champion in the backstroke, a teacher at a high school and coach in one of the 28 sports clubs and Wolfsburg.

Perhaps the decisive breakthrough to the top - in a city that is an exception in many respects succeeded in Wolfsburg. In the hour of their birth, she had begun to solve tasks of the future, not least in sports for their citizens.

The NATO flag in front of the High House of German parliamentarians in Bonn, restricted zone for two days, on which the NATO Conference held a meeting. The preparations had lasted for months. No subject in the five reserved floors which was not examined by security officers. Police searched, examined, controlled. The 15 Foreign Ministers of the North Atlantic defence community safety was at stake. When the Conference started, Bonn was again left and the guests were accessible LUNs of NATO Secretary General posed for photographers and the Minister Rogers, Scheel and Schuman were good spirits.
At the opening session in the plenary Chamber of the German Bundestag Chancellor Willy Brandt called the double strategy of Defense and relaxation the key concept of NATO; It must remain the goal to keep intact the Defense readiness and at the same time politically to solve the problems of our time.
Federal Chancellor Willy Brandt: "ladies and gentlemen, this Ministerial Conference of NATO in Bonn will deal like their immediate predecessors with two major projects, which are allocated to the relaxation, that include but also defence and security issues. I mean the project of a Conference on security and cooperation in Europe and the project of mutual balanced force reductions."

Secretary-General Luns: "when the history of the world has any sense, then must themselves To find solutions can, through which the necessities of life all involved Völkergewahrt and be secured."
Only a cameraman of NATO was approved in the often shielded Conference room that the Briefcase contained papers of extreme secrecy. Before the closed doors, charming Bonn hostesses spoiled the 300 visiting journalists. Telephones and telex kept contact with all parts of the world.
In the course of the meeting that the Alliance partners are faithful to their obligations and that détente only against the background of this defence community will lead to the success of crystallized. They parted ways with optimistic: the American Secretary of State Rogers brought the negotiations on the limitation of strategic armaments in Moscow together with President Nixon to a good end and the East treaties were ratified in Bonn. Signs of relaxation, that have charted the way forward for NATO.

Hamburg celebrates the 50 guests of overseas clubs. In the working atmosphere of the port, President Heinemann speaks appreciative words for an Association of Hamburg merchants, which has strengthened the relations between the peoples through global trade.
"The principle of the open door, the freedom of Commerce, is representing around so vividly in this city on the unhindered comings and goings of ships from all over the world to us, is the driving force of our economic and trade policies.

The gateway to the world, as Hamburg is often called, is hub for goods from all parts of the world today. 18,000 ships every year entering the port of Hamburg.

Let the dynamics of modern port cities still place for memories of the seagoing service of that time? Lübeck, another Hanse city in Northern Germany, takes the visitor today go back to the middle ages.
OLA arches span the narrow streets and the salt storage refer to the prosperity of a trading metropolis, which still retains its townscape from Gothic to classicism.
A landmark brick facade conceals the spells of seafaring romance; for almost 500 years, the construction of the clubhouse "maritime Lübeck", the so-called Schiffergesellschaft is. The colors of the Kolossalgemälde have become brittle and the tobacco smoke by centuries has a blacked out the images. "The classic bar of the world" will be restored this year.
And it probably is one of the most precious pubs provided full and hung with valuable maritime souvenirs from a half Millennium. Today resides the Schiffergesellschaft in these areas; 44 captains with the patent for big trip - especially veterans of seafaring; every Tuesday night they meet at the get-together.
"Brethren of the ship, an Einklarierung round stands before us on the balk. With this round of our ship's brother, Captain Willi Fisher, is back from long trip."
You dine at tables that are worked from ship planks. In the captain's room, where important issues are discussed, are women in the age of emancipation not tolerated what connects the captains? Seafaring romance and the question of how they should pay for the cost of renovating these spaces. Seafaring romance of the present and at the same time meticulously ausgetüftelter performance sports - two aspects of the Olympic sailing area in 1972: Kiel - Schilksee.
Before the 500-metre terrace, where the press works and lives, and the Organization of the competitions is housed, the Olympic port, with 500 berths, seat of the hopes in one of the toughest areas in the regatta, that makes highest demands in terms of navigatorischer and tactical stretches.
In the often unpredictable duel with wind and waves were already world champion and Olympic champion on the track. Crown Prince Harald of Norway, one of the ACEs in the 90th Kiel week, started with his crew in the Soling class, and won.
At the Finn-Dinghis sailing the world elite of man against man; This manoeuvrable boat which in 1951 was designed in Sweden and recognized as Olympic-ready already one year later, requires strength and fast responsiveness; It is the only single man boat under the six Olympic classes. When the star boats the new heavyweight champion Willi calculated chances cow pasture itself. But in the oldest Olympic boat class, he had bad luck this time. A navigation error gave him 4th place.
The German Ulli Libor took a cheap relative to the wind in his Flying Dutchman. He finished 2nd behind world champion Pattisson from England.
The landlocked Heinz Laprell sailed a boat of the tempest class, which is approved for the first time at the Olympics in Kiel. The medical student from Bavaria surprised the world's elite with a 1st place on the Kiel fjord. The wind cannot be planned is, you need to know to deal with him.
