Impressions of a city on the sea. Images from the North of Germany. The city of Kiel is located at the end of a long Bay of the Baltic Sea, one of the most beautiful sailing areas in Europe, the capital of the northernmost state of the Federal Republic of Germany - Schleswig-Holstein. A city with over haspitality history.
Founded in 1665, Christian-Albrechts-University is today one of the most advanced universities of the Federal Republic.
The Town Hall in 1974 - and thirty years ago, shortly before the war ended. Kiel was destroyed up to 35 percent. Reconstruction took more than 15 years.

With over a year 80000 passages one next to Panama and Suez Canal the most frequented artificial waterways in the world. The Scandinavian countries are to achieve with modern ferry from Kiel. Shipbuilding: a main industry of the town. The Kiel shipyards are among the largest in Europe. Speciality: the construction of large tankers, container ships and bulk carriers.
Kiel-Schilksee, new spacious Center of Yachting. The Olympic competitions were held here in 1972. Here, sailors from all over the world meet regularly. Their races are the sporting highlight of the Kiel week.

Hundreds of thousands in the areas stricken by drought and disease, the North African Sahel and Ethiopia wait on help - and with them.
The Federal Republic of Germany participated in the international relief efforts. All States of the Sahel region, especially Ethiopia - from which these images were supported.
The German armed forces flew food, medicine and other relief supplies from the tent to the small hospital in the areas of hunger. Transport aircraft brought the goods up to the seaports or in the city. Helicopters transported them further in the difficult-to-reach areas in the Interior of the country. Volunteers of various charities - and doctors accompanied the pilots.
Here in Ethiopia built as a doctors and pilots ' flying doc service "on. 2 helicopter crew and a team of doctors bring quick help to where it is most needed.

Worst, it hit the children, especially small children succumbed to hunger first. The others are often so debilitated that they easily fall a disease victim.
In approximately 7,000 flight hours, German pilots flew more than 10,000 tons of relief supplies in the drought areas of Africa. The relief efforts of the peoples of the prosperity mitigate the emergency, its causes can not eliminate them. Only when their Governments on a four point program against natural disasters can agree is there To give real assistance to the peoples of the Sahel and Ethiopia. It means: water supply for the region as a whole, reforestation, rescue of cattle breeding and improvement of agriculture.

In the smallest country of the Federal Republic of Germany - in Bremen, close to his aerodrome, - the company that developed Europe's biggest space project is located: the ERNO aerospace engineering. A few weeks ago, she received the order for the construction of the Spacelab space laboratory.
The dummy that you see here is a full scale model of the European Spacelabs. This forms a part of the American Apollo program. The difference of this program as opposed to the previous program is that this system is reusable, and 50 times. It is considerably more economical when compared to the rockets. The first flight of this system is expected to be 1980. The Spacelab is an integral part of the space shuttle, the space transporter, the Americans build, rockets bring Spacelab and space shuttle on orbit amounting to 200 to 500 kilometres.
The space travel will take seven to thirty days, in which two to four scientists can research and experiment.
First, however, the tasks of the space flight on Earth must be resolved.
Admission to human spaceflight is no science fiction adventure and the clinical cleanliness of ERNO staff no publicity stunt for space travel. Participation in the post-Apollo program of Americans means the realization of a costly, complicated industrial project for the Europeans. 1 billion DM it is estimated only the cost of the space laboratory, 9 European countries finance it. To DM 5 billion the cost of the vehicle.
In Bremen, the planning phase is completed. Now will be experimented, tested, tested materials on their usability in outer space.
If in a few years, the first prototype will be flown from Bremen in the United States to use, the crew with security under more pleasant conditions at all will live and work as it had until today the astronauts.
After each flight the laboratory for another task can be, so to speak according to the modular principle, and retooling. While working in the laboratory at normal atmosphere, while on the pallets outside the laboratory carried out research into the vacuum.
The mission is completed, the space vehicle to the Earth will be flown back. Without drive he lands, floating like a glider, on the runway.
The use of the space will become as natural as the air traffic. Bremen, the city with the oldest airport in Germany, will and build possibly the first space station. "The use is for me starting point for each design" Dieter Rams of the task of the industrial design, the design.
Dieter Rams, 42 years old, is one of the most prestigious designers in Germany. He lives and works in Kronberg near Frankfurt on the edge of the Taunus mountains.
Since 1955, Dieter is Rams Head designer of Braun company. First draft be the forerunner of the world-famous "audio series" the radio and turntable unit "SK 4" -. The development, but also the success of the HIFI devices illustrate conception of the role of design in the industrial society to the best Rams.
Design must be part of a comprehensive corporate concept. Because the designer must be involved from the outset in developing a product to achieve really convincing solutions. Form design is achieving the function, the usefulness of a thing.
Not fashionable cladding to facilitate the sales prospects of the object. From the design of the model to production, Rams and his staff are included in the manufacturing process. Design is not an ingredient, but part of the production. The quality of technology, material and formal design are equivalent.
No generally binding design philosophy has made his insights Rams. He has to implement tried his findings into practice, and in the last 13 years shaped the views on the design - in the furniture industry.
In the Danes Vitsoe, he as was once found partner, who shared his views and who were willing to bear the entrepreneurial risk for new developments at the Brown Brothers.
Rams sounds surprisingly simple explanation for his success: "I mean, people are interested first and foremost for design, because it can be something usable for them. You can buy good design, but advanced, intelligent problem solutions. Experience with design is experience with people for me."

Our magnificent grandfathers in their frenzied boxes: In the late twenties and thirties they captured an audience of millions auto racing.
1974 the grandchildren made fast track veterans again: Morgan tricycles, Bugatti, Mercedes, Lagondas, Bedelias, names from a time which saw a symbol of progress in the car. Environmental protection and traffic chaos were at that time no subjects that were the joy of the car in question.
Around 150 original Renner from those legendary pioneer and high time of the motor racing met at the Nürburgring for the international race for historic racing and sports cars.
The bizarre race cars include three-wheeled Morgan Wheeler. Be driven with pure alcohol and come on tempo 160 riders from 11 Nations competed for the prizes. The British arrived with the greatest drivers and car quota. No wonder they organize 40 years Grand Prix' for veterans.
During a thunderstorm on the Nürburgring, the museum pieces were the material quality of once really see proof: rain for more than 50 years.
At the end of the veteran clubs risked the pilots Once again head and collar.
