The Federal Republic of Germany shall apply from abroad as an example of a highly industrialized State. What often is overlooked: even Germany has large areas are in which economic structure, income, and productivity far below the national average. About one-third of the population lives in such regions.
Attempts with a variety of legal and financial measures for years to strengthen the economic power of these regions. The country to the more than 1,300-kilometer inner German border belongs to the specially supported territories.
These areas have lost their former hinterland by the Division of Germany and were marginalized as a result of the West German economic area.
As the zone border area remained increasingly behind economic development and threatened to depopulate, special promotion programmes have been adopted already in the 50s. Old plants were modernized, attracted new businesses: a consequence of attractive investment subsidies and tax benefits. The State provided large sums of money to improve the infrastructure of these areas. New roads, hospitals, sports facilities and kindergartens were built. The housing sector received new impetus.
Also the living and recreational value was improved according to plan - by building new schools and other educational institutions, and through generous grants for the preservation of the old cultural landscape. For example the Ratzeburg Cathedral was renovated with funds from the Euroregions.
Successes are set: the economic structure was better, the migration went back.
Promoting the zone boundary area remains a long-term task: the locational disadvantages of these isolated areas, the lack of skilled workers and lower economic growth are offset only by State aid.
Test drive with an old steam locomotive. In the Federal Republic of Germany is a new recreational pleasure on the rise: the restoration and maintenance of steel Ross veterans. More and more citizens discover their love for the old steam locomotive after the State railway has banned their last copies on the siding.
Steam locomotive enthusiasts use their hobby as a science: they choose, what is an example of the development history of the locomotive and present to the public their renovated collectibles every weekend.
For the tour and for short journeys on the Club grounds the visitors have to pay admission. From this source of income, the hobbyist finance the purchase and maintenance of the locomotives.
Especially for children, the visit is a small adventure. Many have never seen a steam locomotive and listen spellbound when explains the workings of a locomotive.
For adults the children dream come true, when they embark on the driving status of a locomotive. Becoming a train driver belonged to the dream job for every boy in Germany 20 years ago.
Meanwhile, there are more than 100 steam locomotive clubs in Germany. Its members are not feeling Commander for a romantic trip in the past. You can see their task to preserve monuments of technical culture history.
The growing economic power of the 3rd world countries, certain the image of the overseas import fair, which was held for the 16th time in Berlin. Around 1,100 exhibitors from 58 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America showed a representative cross-section of the export goods offer.
Although jewelry, textiles and leather goods are still a high-turnover factor in the export range of the 3rd world countries. Increasingly important WINS for them but raw material prospection and development of own finished goods industry. Over the years, the Berlin exhibition, which this time was the motto "Partner of progress", has grown into the most important sales show of the developing countries in Europe. Many shops are completed here, since buyers from all European countries regularly travel to this trade fair.
The "Der Freischütz" by Carl Maria von Weber. The "deutscheste" of all operas, as already in the 19th century, foreign music lovers thought. In the North German Eutin, the birthplace of the composer, it is listed in each summer on an outdoor stage.
Carl Maria von Weber has written 1820 Opera this, Benjamin. Since its premiere a year later in Berlin its audience success has stopped. Lust and sorrow of love, the healing power of nature and a force majeure, which releases the people from his involvement: a musical folk poem, whose Zauber today captures. Eutin has preserved the charm of that era when men like Claudius, Klopstock, Herder and Humboldt made the Holstein town a spiritual counterpart to Weimar. Is also the birthplace of Weber. Although the "Der Freischütz" is one of the standard repertoire of all German opera houses, thousands according to Eutin, the couple Max and Agathe out there in the natural love and suffer to see come every summer.
The Elbe river creates the connection to the North Sea: 100 kilometres from the open sea lies Hamburg, largest port and largest city in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Under the Baroque Tower of the 'Michel', Hamburg shipping and trading power for around a thousand years. Your universal port is handling and storage space for world trade goods of all kinds. The old storage - a last Idyll on the edge of the harbour. New transport systems alter the image. Hamburg is now destination of overseas container services and construction site of the new "off-shore"-technique. Rivers, canals and lakes, even in the midst of the city: the visitors say a city, where you can breathe. As Conservatives, the hamburgers are cosmopolitan, but hold on tradition. Also, when the urban renewal. The facades of old commercial buildings are preserved, only the Interior will be demolished and rebuilt, so that the return again: a compromise between business acumen and reverent.
Also the Idyll will be preserved if it promises profit. Leisure and enjoyment of life rank far behind the pursuit of success and practical reason. With this approach to life, the 1.8 million hamburgers made their city the richest region in the European Community.
Journalists, film and television people have learned to appreciate the liberal atmosphere of the merchant city. Hamburg has replaced Berlin as German press stronghold. The major weekly newspapers and magazines are made here.
Swinging Hamburg - also belongs to the flair of this city. A lively cultural scene, music, theatre and sport refute the prejudice, Hamburg was a pure industrial and commercial city.
The free and Hanseatic city has saved some of their privileges from the middle ages to the present. She retained their independence as one of the 11 federal States and exerts political influence in other ways: political leaders in Bonn, also the incumbent Chancellor, coming from the river Elbe.
