A 3,000-year-old sports more and more starts To find friends in the Federal Republic of Germany. The fans - but a sport not only for Kings say Polo - a Royal sport.
When the Persians Polo originated, and the hordes of Genghis Khan were masters of the oldest team game in the world. Only in the last century British brought colonial officers Polo to the United Kingdom. Since then, the game gives to the flair of the exclusive.
4 basic strokes with which the Player tries to hit the ball out of bamboo or softwood in the opponent's goal. The expensive 4-6,000 mark horses need about two years until they have mastered the basics of this sport.
Hit the ball where you meet him, no matter where, but beat him, stay where you are considered weakness and tactical mistake - theses on a game - 4 x 8 minutes - at the end of rider and horse sweat bathed. Hamburg-Flottbek prompts the audience in the breaks the lawn again smooth pedaling - a custom that has become useful also in Germany, since more than 1,000 spectators are present at international tournaments.
Polo - fun for hard men with a sense of snob-appeal; because who defines as hockey to horse Polo, receives from them the answer: hockey is a Polo on foot.

Bonn, on one of the most memorable days in recent German history. Federal Chancellor Willy Brandt, Nobel Peace Prize winner from 1971 and opposition leader Rainer Barzel in the election to the 7th German Bundestag.
A short, intense campaign is behind them. The opposition with a promotional effort as never before, tried to win back the parliamentary majority in the Bundestag. In the hustle and bustle of this election night, witnessed the American Senator Edward Kennedy up close, all conversations revolved around the question of whether the social liberal coalition Once again Gets the chance, then successful East and Germany policy to continue its, and to continue the domestic reform programme.
Also Foreign Minister Walter Scheel had committed to a policy of detente, which has gained worldwide recognition. Would also the German voters appreciate this policy.
At the CDU headquarters - moments before the decision. As opposition leader Rainer Barzel enters the room, clearly the election result by 40 million Germans. Clearly, as anyone would expect, the CDU/CSU has lost the election.

Rainer Barzel: "we will continue to fight to ward off misfortune and we will remain just in opposition."
Joy for the Liberals and the Social Democrats, who now have a majority of 46 deputies in the Parliament. Writers such as Günther helped grass, scientists and journalists through voter initiatives. For the first time in German postwar history make the largest faction in the German Parliament and its coalition partner the Social Democrats, the FDP could stabilize itself as a third force.
Willy Brandt: "this election has strengthened the new political center. I will do what is necessary so that she will confirm the binding force of our people in the next four years as being the most. "Now we go left, but happy to work for our Federal Republic of Germany, for peace, - the word we are committed with the US made in the autumn of 1969 on the way: we To want be a people of good neighbours, inside and outside."
This selection ensures not only the continuity of German domestic and foreign - rather the high voter turnout of more than 90 percent has made it clear that citizens in the Federal Republic of Germany will actively participate in the political process.

It is probably the most popular customs of international Germany-tourists to ride once on the Rhine. An excursion to the old world, the age of the EEC and the pollution of the Rhine who forget.
Emperors and merchants moved since Roman times through this valley. Secular and spiritual power built fortresses, strategic positions, ways to control and to collect customs duties - 60 km Rhine between Bingen and Koblenz - today's epitome of romantic Germany. This landscape is based on the Rhine hardly on data of world history. Instead knows every farmer between Rheingau and Rheinhessen the vintages of famous wine harvests and every child knows to tell, which dates back 200 years of the fateful incident: at that time a courier brought belatedly read permission of the Abbot over the vineyards. The monks were desperate, the overripe grapes were shriveled and rotten to. Did you know when this first involuntary late harvest Not yet that just these grapes would even justify wine glory of the Rheingau.
More than 1 decade wine growers are booming. Wine consumption in Germany increased by more than 100%. The harvests of in recent years were good and the 1971 received the predicate even century wine. The controls in the cellars are now strictly. A modern wine law helps to protect the quality and the consumer to navigate. A walk through the historical cellar Vault is no less exciting than the visiting of a robber baron Castle for the wine lover. Vintages with history and A lot of flavor. For a potable 100th, but would have to pay 600 mark, and more.
It's hard to say why to admire a bare rock at the Loreley keyword and why the world tourism flow to one of his favorite landscapes has stated just that bit. Maybe it's the thrill of a picture-book landscape, which is understood without a tour guide. "It's first that sightseeing" – says an American – a compliment that explains a lot.

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is one of the most important representatives of the bridge: "Old ball House Very much interesting to women Not much refined" - he wrote at the time, and painted the Demimonde of Berlin in the expressionist style.
Paris sent the most spectacular staging in Berlin. "Grand Magic Circus" - wrote one critic - "is a feast and faire, Revue, striptease, Grand Opera and a parody of all that". For Berliners - a fun, a Festival finale for everyone.
