Spring in Herrenhausen: the gardens of the Baroque awakens to new life.
The fountain rises again to 82 meters high. Herrenhausen was residence of the Dukes and electors of Hanover, after French and Dutch model created the system architect and landscape architect. Almost 300 years ago.
Nature, art and architecture sound here. The annual music and theater festivals increase the attraction of the old Royal Garden.

Europe. An old continent began a new chapter in its history in recent weeks. 260 million Europeans traded for the first time together: they chose a common Parliament.
Parties and programs: in all 9 Member States of the European Community's campaign was at the same time. More than 10 Parties wooed voters in the Federal Republic. The major parties set the accents: Christian Democrats, Social Democrats and Liberals appealed to voters to create a Europe for their image. Despite the political divisions citizens and parties were unanimous: Europe must complete its integration. This goal among the core belief of Germans for 30 years.
The idea of Europe was born in the rubble of the second world war. It seemed at the time when Europe was destroyed permanently even after an endless chain of struggles and wars by a Millennium.
The British Prime Minister Churchill was one of the first who recognized the need for a new beginning. He called for a United Europe to peace for all times be sure. This idea was inducted into the ruined Germany enthusiastically. Students eliminated border barriers to France in 1950 and called for a European Parliament and a European Government: the German youth wanted to Europe.
The turnout represented Italy Prime Minister de Gasperi and Konrad Adenauer, the first German Chancellor, the French Schumann. More mergers followed the establishment of a coal and Steel Community. The European Community, the EEC was created.
The Europeans established even a Parliament. However one without real powers. Its members were not directly elected, but delegated by national parliaments. In the daily lives of citizens, Europe won shape soon. The borders fell, the free exchange of people, ideas and goods resulted in an unprecedented boom Western Europe.

The 9 European Union countries grew into a major trading power. Her largely duty-free trade in goods reached unimagined dimensions with the countries of the third world. The EC funded one-third of world development aid.
The common agricultural market guarantees a diversity offer consumers and secures the income of farmers. The European air and space industry developed many community projects.
Last summer, the Europeans brought along another piece. In the Town Hall of Bremen, they decided the European monetary system, which should stabilize the exchange rates of member countries.
In the European election of optimism was palpable and an echo of those of the optimism that once inspired the Europeans of the post-war period. The first directly-elected European Parliament, it is hoped new impulses for a common Europe. It should be as Chancellor Schmidt asked for--a Europe of solidarity.
"We want neither a dictatorship of the gel of a dictatorship of the rich and rabid, nor do we want a dictatorship of a Communist Party bureaucracy. But what we need is a Europe in which people are free to make their own decisions, a Europe in which social justice prevails. "And we want a Europe of solidarity, where a country helps the others."

Berlin and the ancient world. The 150 anniversary of the "German Archaeological Institute" provided the occasion for a comprehensive inventory. About 1,300 exhibits show the influence of the classical antiquity has exerted on art and culture in Berlin.
In addition to painting, sculpture and crafts, especially the architecture recorded ancient themes and forms. An example of the so-called "Preuftischen classicism" is this former barracks in 1850.
Inserted at the beginning of the 18th century enthusiasm of Berlin for the Greek and Roman antiquity was seized later the flats. Special companies offered in catalogues capitals, moldings and friezes, from which each client could assemble his facade.
No architecture field untouched of classic fashion. Newsstands in the small repeated the temple form, administrative and industrial buildings lined classic up their facades.
In addition to Berlin's new Congress Centrum an exhibition pavilion by 1935.
The large public buildings just a few survived the second world war - including the Brandenburg Gate, the end of the 18th century. Century was built after the model of the Athenian Propylaea.
Destroyed, but rebuilt was the German Reichstag. Example is considered to be a richly structured and decorated façade for the art of building around the turn of the century, which freely mixed up mixed all previous styles. Art or kitsch - the Berlin hang on the few spared the war of the ancient monuments of the city.

"Rush hour", millions of people on their way to their workplaces. Traffic spikes are also energy tips. Twice a day, morning and evening, to jump the energy requirements of the industrial society in the height. Usually expensive gas turbine power plants provide the Additionally necessary power.
This giant pipe near Bremen, Germany, leading from the ground to a power plant, since recently trade visitors from around the world indicates that one can produce expensive electricity too cheap. Conventional gas turbines turn only a third of which are consumed you for the compression of the fuel gases supplied energy into electricity - two-thirds, this task takes a subterranean cavern here. At night, when power in abundance exists, air is pumped in caves, flushed technician at a depth of 800 metres in a salt dome. If during the day, electricity is needed, flows the air at high pressure into the combustion chamber, there is burned with natural gas and drives so the turbine.
Due to the high pressure with which the air flows, a new turbine had to be constructed. She emits 290 megawatts, making it the largest ever constructed. This first air storage gas turbine power plant of the world not only incomparably cheap works, but is also so powerful that it could fully provide a megacity of half power.

For 2 1/2 weeks the theatre took possession of the port and merchant city of Hamburg of the world. And the sober Hanseatic League, whose worldview is as clear as the cash register of a department store, could be expected by the conserve attract Bill.
On streets and squares, in tents and in the established temples of Muse, actor troops from many countries showed all kinds of contemporary theatre.
Jango Edwards in action. The American clown caused - as other entertainers - for the comedic counterpoint to the issue taxed political theater.
The squat Theatre from New York was billeted in the shop window of a large furniture store. Even if his surrealist show the mystery of this world are more disputed: the hamburgers were curious enough, every evening the lugs on the Breitling flat push.
With the classic European stage performances was competing the famous Beijing Opera: one of the highlights at the "theatre of the Nations", which brought some 100,000 burgers on the legs with nearly 300 performances. Next year, it goes back to a port city. Then the Dutch Amsterdam organises the World Festival of theatre.

Europe's best gymnast in the Essen's Gruga-Halle. The athletes from Eastern Europe set themselves on the 13th European Championship as expected strong in scene. The hopes of the German spectators rested on Eberhard Gienger. In the all-around, the qualified sports teacher had ever won the silver medal four years ago.
No Super show, but a focused geturnte exercise: parallel bars Gienger wins the bronze medal.
Flawless despite high levels of difficulty: the first 19 year old Russian of Makuts. He won gold on this unit. In total, he won 5 medals and thus became the most successful gymnast of the Championships.
Eberhard Gienger at its specialized equipment. Here, his fans on gold had hoped. Because on the high bar, Gienger was already European and even world champion.
From the dream! The Salto self-created by him Gienger not found the bar. A goof which no one had expected. At the World Championships in Japan later this year the already 28 wants to prove that he still does not count towards the old iron.
Youth dominated in Essen. The 19 year old Bulgarian Delchev made it better than Gienger.
Although Delchev had the experienced Russians Tkachev let go first. However, the silver medal was sure to him after this exercise. Food confirmed the supremacy of the gymnasts from Eastern Europe. It will be exciting at the World Championships in Tokyo. Then the European Turner stars against the strong Japanese must exist.
