01 Deutsche Sporthilfe sports operated by millions of people. Sport breaks down barriers and creating friendships. Sport serves the health. There are 18 million people in a sports club – almost a third of the population in the Federal Republic. But grassroots sport is inconceivable without sports. With the provided example the fencing world champion Cornelia Hanisch, thousands of others identify whether they are active or not yet.
Top athletes but not falling from the sky. You need to be promoted. Not the State regulates that in the Federal Republic, but it is the company that operates here. This benefits such as the high jump world record Ulrike Meyfarth. So she and other athletes must take no professional and substantive disadvantages, the German sports aid was created. Some of the money comes from the surplus of Fernsehlotterien, that the athletes themselves promote. Lots of money is required to promote the athletes according to their personal circumstances and to give everyone the same opportunities - for travel costs to the training, medical care, insurance coverage, and much more. The sale of stamps is a source of funding. Music stars record records without Gage, sports aid receives the proceeds. So far 120 million marks came together. About 12,000 athletes, it was possible to continue their sport and to set her career for this time in the second place as a result. But benefit from the promotion of young scientists in the schools. In many centres of excellence, talent discovered and chosen the best. Also Olympic champions of tomorrow are probably among them.
02. the ties between West Berlin and the Federal Republic of Germany photographer Scrum as a State visit. And yet it was just a new highway. But to a special highway. The West German Transport Minister Dollinger opened a new route between West Germany and West Berlin with the traditional cut. He met with the GDR Minister of transport at the border between the two German States.
After four years of construction, now have the two largest German cities, Hamburg and the former German capital of Berlin surrounded by East Germany, finally a motorway link.
For the construction of the 260-kilometre transit route across through the GDR, the Federal Republic paid most of the costs. It is the so far most elaborate ressembles collaboration project. For the North, a piece is nähergerückt close West Berlin. The highway in the North of Germany is the fourth Highway, the West Berlin connects the Federal Republic. This corresponds to the four powers agreement of 1971, in which the Soviet Union has guaranteed not to hinder the transit between West Berlin and the Federal Republic, but to facilitate and improve. Since the four-powers agreement, involving also the United States, France and Great Britain, highways, railways and waterways were expanded through the GDR. The new highway is an example of the persistent policy of the Federal Government. She made safer and faster the traffic to and from Berlin and thus further strengthened the close ties of West Berlin at the Federal, and strengthened the viability of the town.
03. the energy tree a small town on the Rhine not far from the German capital Bonn. Here, unusual devices are available in a garden.
This artificial tower looks like a compressed together Chinese pagoda. Its creator: the successful inventor Günther Wegner. A mixture of water and antifreeze runs through the plastic discs of his energy tree. The physical law that heat always flows towards the colder pole and it emits energy is used here. Regardless of the actual temperature, heat is from at any weather the air, rain, even ice and snow, because the liquid in the energy tree constantly is kept colder than the outside temperature 4 - 5 ° C by a heat pump. The inventor benefited right next door at his home.
The heat obtained is lifted by the pump to a temperature suitable for heating purposes. While the heat pump uses electricity, but after Wegner's calculation, his method is around 80% cheaper than a traditional heating system. The 15-leaved tree of energy holds a 1-family house with swimming pool in his garden.
Wanted to use Wegner's invention for large houses or factories, according to huge towers would be necessary. Whether Wegner's invention in series production is, and whether it is economically applicable on a large scale in the experts argue yet.
04. voluntary social year a children's home - somewhere in the Federal Republic of Germany. The young women here playing with the children, are still not fully trained educators. They are graduates of the so-called "voluntary of social year', a facility that was created around 30 years ago in the life time - and personnel-intensive work in kindergartens, hospitals, support for the elderly and handicapped homes. There is a growing number of school-leavers who want to help the very infirm members of the society for one year. Young people get some pocket money and to free accommodation and meals by the State. A first aid course part of their training.
Another example: a nursing home. Also here require special care and patience people. As in social professions, work and training places have become scarce, many young people use the 'voluntary social year' as preparation and tasting on a later career in the fields of pedagogy, health and care for the elderly. It is a useful practical bridge between school and vocational training - a not always easy work, but important for the human coexistence in society and for the development of one's personality.
05. North America small and large ships from all over the world meet every day - on the North-East Sea Canal, known in international ship traffic as the Kiel Canal. He cuts through the northern part of Germany - Schleswig-Holstein - and saves you the long detour to the land mass of Denmark, approximately 250 nautical miles on the trip between North and Baltic Sea. At the lock at Kiel is the a starting point of the 100 km-long waterway. Here the equipment repair the ships even before their journey can with supplies provided and take on extra cargo or fuel.
In the spring and autumn hundreds of ships pass through the Canal - at the beginning or at the end of a great ride. Along the Canal there are large shipyards for new construction and repair. To reassemble the country roads cut by the Kiel Canal, they found different solutions since its construction about 100 years ago. Two new major bridges are just prior to its completion.
Also a road tunnel under the 160 meters wide and 11 meters deep canal.
And finally, are countless ferries of various kinds available - from the ordinary to the suspended ferry under a railway bridge.
Especially for the trade of the Baltic countries with the rest of the world, the North America has crucial importance. He is the busiest sea channel in the world with approximately 60,000 boat passages per year.
06. female film directors in Germany Berlin - a city of film. A woman is one of the most well-known German Directors: Margarethe von Trotta. Her last film about the fate of two women. Background: terrorism in the 70s. Margarethe von Trotta was awarded with high international prices for this film. Today, she receives offers to make so-called "large" substances from around the world. But for that she cares less. She prefers stories and people who witnessed similar to, and in which she recognize themselves. So when her new movie.
Again it comes to the complicated relationship of two women, played by Hanna Schygulla and Angela Winkler, who gave German film also international reputation by acting skills.
The friendship of two women, here a sample of the scene, encounters the incomprehension of the men, but it gives them the power that previously lacked them to life.
The sensitivity of Margarethe von Trotta leads the actor and told them their roles, is one reason for their success as a filmmaker.
07. Skeleton hands, chest, knee and head are armored and cleaned the spikes of special shoes from the snow - preparations on a skeleton race. Skeleton, the fastest and flattest kind of sleigh ride, win new friends in Germany. The skeleton of iron is a portable cushion with which the driver can affect the steering. A 30 centimeter-long Mill located in the round steel runners. You only makes possible a precise drive on the ideal line in the bobsleigh.
Here on the ice rink at the Bavarian Königssee, the skeleton riders achieve a speed of 120 kilometers per hour. They control their sleds by shifting your weight.
Skeleton will experience - so his supporters want it - an Olympic comeback, because twice, at the winter games in 1928 and 1948, skeleton was official discipline.
