The DOM of Aachen: 1200 years ago the spiritual center of a United Europe. Charlemagne, the Germans and the French claim as their political progenitor, has made building the octagonal dome. Here he was buried since the year 814.
The tomb of the Emperor, which Reich at that time embraced the core areas of modern France and Germany, is perceived as a political legacy. The Charlemagne Prize, the city of Aachen Honours European politicians who have made worthy to the unification of the continent.
Aachen was the coronation city of the German kings 700 years. Little has remained of this period. The second world war has destroyed the most. The hot springs are reminiscent of the beginnings of the city. They were tapped by the Romans 2000 years ago. Today, there are patients who drink the health of the old wells.

The Hansa-Gymnasium in the Hamburg suburb of Bergedorf. One of many schools in the Federal Republic, in the students for students make newspapers.
The editors make and distribute their newspapers under their own responsibility. Also student newspapers must adhere to the press laws.

The Auditorium of the school burned down several years ago. Because nothing is happening, made the "alarm clock"-Redakteure the construction of an auditorium to their ongoing issue and promote the local politicians to support. Also the Mayor of Bergedorf know in advance what they To want when they ask for a parley.
Student newspapers have to finance themselves. Apart from donations and the proceeds of the sale are mainly commercial ads, which the editors keep your hand above water. In the shops on the main street, they acquire orders.
For teachers and authorities, student newspapers are not always a pure delight. Because it belongs to the self-image of young journalists that they denounce every grievance in the school in their hands. But the claim by students on an own, independent voice in the school area is supported and accepted today by most teachers.
