Around the turn of the century, it was the social event: Derby week in Berlin-Mariendorf. Today, 100 years after the first race, the show - and betting lust of Berlin is undiminished. What began as a distraction for the higher levels, evolved into the spectator sport for everyone. Today 800 Horses are housed in the stables. you trot on 100 events in the year to win and places.
The trotting Derby remains the high point of the German season. Visitors who choose to wear besides the enjoyment of sports betting win home crowd before the betting buttons.
It rained for days, the route was softened: not ideal conditions for the Derby 78. Nevertheless, 12,000 spectators on the track had come to to experience the crucial test for filly.
Ten mares and stallions were fighting for the Derby victory. High favorite: the Mare 'Ada', driven by Peter Heitmann, a member of the oldest German harness racing dynasty. 'Ada' was a safe Bank: from start to finish she dominated the competition.
The Wetternbrachte 'Ada' only small profit, but the rider - and the 8th breeders family Heitmann Derby victory since 1900.
Modern agriculture. No production sector in Germany has so changed as agriculture in the last 50 years. New technology and production methods led to an economic selection process, in which alone since 1960, each 3 farmer had to change his profession. In the long run, only those can assert themselves which mechanize your farms and lead it according to modern business methods.
For example, cattle keeping, feeding and milking is done today largely automatically. Forcing the streamlining, but also the effort to keep clean the milk: she should reach the consumer in a closed sterile way. This includes also the automatic cleaning of the milking machine.
A modern 4-furrow plough. The impact of mechanization are particularly noticeable in the agricultural economy. Previously, the rule of thumb was: one worker per 5 acres. Today, an agriculture worker must edit the ten times surface. His workplace was correspondingly expensive: with 150,000 mark, he is twice as expensive as a job in the chemical industry.
The farmer of today's technician and animal breeders, plant expert and businessman in a person. Earlier, 6 people worked on a medium-sized farm. Today, the farmer must do most everything alone with his wife. High mechanization costs many farmers by the fact that they share the expensive machines.
Under duress, inexpensive to produce, more and more farmers machinery rings or cooperatives, who centrally process the purchase and sale of products are: a path that ensures the survival of mainly medium-sized companies.
With 18 years, every U.S. citizen is retired and moved to the Bundeswehr. As long as he is healthy and can interrupt his training without harm. Compulsory military service is a prerequisite that the Federal Republic can make their contribution to the Western defense Alliance. The military training of the conscripts takes 15 months. Then he will return to professional life or resumes his interrupted training. However, many young people don't go to the Bundeswehr. You use a basic right that guarantees them the Constitution of the Federal Republic. After that, no one may be compelled against his conscience to use the arms.
So-called "conscientious objectors" the young man must perform a statutory replacement service. Here he can choose one of over 30,000 jobs in charitable and social institutions of the country. Some civilian service work the accident service or in nursing homes, hospitals or workshops for the disabled. Others take a work that is by far not so much demanded them, how about the care of disabled and sick. Therefore, the abuse of this fundamental right must be prevented. A conscientious objector must make credible, conscience or religious beliefs forbid him the service with the weapon.
Le is controversial in the public significance of this "examination of conscience" by conscientious objectors. Therefore, the German Bundestag strives to find new principles and standards, to solve this problem.
The right of conscience but will remain as Chancellor Schmidt recently reaffirmed.
"A citizen who takes the fundamental right of conscientious objection in claims, respect to the. Conscientious objector very serious duties in the civilian alternative service to the part. "But overall we see with great satisfaction that the readiness of our youth, to take over duties in this state that this willingness as a whole increasing."
A landscape of Moors, cotton grass and birch, immersed in a peculiar, ever-changing light: Worpswede shows its visitors, and so it worked on the first painter that 90 years ago led the coincidence in the village near Bremen, Germany. They remained and made the village a village of artists.
Worpswede the memory of its discoverers keeps up with a permanent exhibit: Paula Modersohn-Becker, one of the few women who found recognition around the world as a painter.
Or Fritz Mackensen, the actual founder of the colony of artists. Also Heinrich Vogeler joined the Künstlerkolonie, which gave new impetus to the turn of the century the European landscape painting.
Under the impression of the suffering during the 1st World War took many Worpsweder for new forms of expression. Looks like the Worpsweder today: young graphic designers, potters, ceramists, carpet weavers, writers and of course painting which, each in his own way - the tradition of the artist colony continue. Some very successful, such as Friedrich Meckseper, the painter and graphic artist.
At Worpswede must be something special. How else the steady influx of young artists to explain, hoping to make their way here and nowhere else.
Basic research. Without them, a modern industrial State would soon fall back. The universities and institutions in West of Berlin will make an important contribution to the research. In the Hahn-Meitner-Institute, which was named after the discoverer of uranium fission and his colleague, 50 scholars are some not yet decrypted secrets of the atomic nucleus and its cover on the track. Work on an accelerator facility, which was built here in 5-year construction period. Currently, the plant is still shut. She can accelerate nuclear particles from 20,000 kilometers per second.
Another group deals with the final disposal of radioactive waste, the scientists have a special glass-ceramic designed now - a mechanically and chemically very stable material, In the furnace of radioactive waste with the new mainly to ceramic glass is melted and examined after cold under an electron microscope.
The colored line spectrum shows how to spread - not real but simulated - fission products in ceramics.
Real high radioactive substances are studied in so-called "hot cells" on their properties. This technically elaborate protections are necessary. The findings could one day help all those States, have problems with the waste from its nuclear power plants.
Begegnungmit of the past: the first steam locomotive, that ran in Germany. In the German Transport Museum in Nuremberg, she is to visit. in 1835, she opened the railway between Nuremberg and Fürth. The saloon of the Imperial Chancellor Otto von Bismarck: one of the show pieces from 150 years of railway history. The showpiece is a ceremonial monarch: the Bavarian fairytale King Ludwig who was second search also on the rail in a dream of gold, velvet and silk.
The steam locomotive as a powerhouse of the industrial age. She took care of records. Also in the speed. This locomotive built in Berlin drove 1936 world record: more than 200 km/h.
Around 500,000 visitors leave in the year are captured by the magic of a time put in the technique of still full of life.
Schoolchildren are the most frequent guests at this unique Museum, which collects technical monuments of railway history since 1899 and leisenbahn will satisfy the game driving of his young visitors with the largest model in Germany.
Christmas in the Federal Republic of Germany. The Germans said to a particular close relationship to the Christian Festival. However, in the period between December 1 and Commerce and customs are entered here also a probably indissoluble bond new year. In the run-up to Christmas, even the big cities can be tune - as here in Munich Christmas market like on the upcoming Festival.
Almost unadulterated old customs in rural communities has been preserved: children prefer the neighbouring houses and declaiming biblical texts.
The Christmas church attendance is still for many citizens. In the city and in the countryside. How many hundred years.
