01. the new Federal President, the Federal Republic of Germany has a new President. With an overwhelming majority, the Federal Assembly Richard von Weizsäcker chose the head of State. Never before a German Federal President took office has found a wide support in alien political camps.
The citizens expect much of Richard von Weizsäcker, who appears fairly cool at first glance and its vicinity looking for anyway.
The high office of President has also his wife in the duty. Marianne von Weizsäcker fulfills their role with charm and self-confidence.
The President of Germany has mainly representative functions, but political abstinence will not exercise von Weizsäcker.
"Orientation", he says, "is the most important." In Berlin, he had proved that he can do that as Mayor. Not rub themselves on leave from the everyday routine, but keep the main lines in the eye: close contacts with the United Nations and the cooperation with the Entwicklungslandern were he in his time in Berlin very close to the heart.
Von Weizsäcker had in Berlin, in the divided city, especially one in the eye: the interest of the Germans on the own divide and at peace. Richard von Weizsäcker is a reliable partner, not only for the closest political friends, he is also always open interlocutor for political dissidents.

02. Greifenwarte Guttenberg Eagles and vultures in the training camp. An ornithologist exercises with birds of prey, which were injured and learn to fly again. High above the river Neckar is the only German Greifenwarte: Burg Guttenberg is today one flight training and breeding station for large birds that are threatened with extinction. Often hundreds of curious onlookers are here working. The scientists have foisted this artificial, filled with small instruments egg to a nesting Eagle. The biological and physical data with appropriate are communicated via radio and recorded. The ornithologist she needs to adjust its computer-controlled incubators. Every bird of prey has a certain breeding temperature and moisture. The eggs come from a breeding with birds of prey, which here were borrowed from zoological garden. After hatching, the young birds are reared first hand - like this 20 days-old sea eagle.
Of this bred birds of prey are to be exposed, again at home where some later in nature reserves.

03. Conference of environmental and forest protection of the forest, often called "green lungs", described as a giver of life for humans and animals, is dying in many places.
The toxins flowing from the chimneys and the exhaust plug of the cars are number 1 the cause of disease. In the Federal Republic of Germany is a third of total forest land damaged already. Dying of forests, the pollution of the air, the pollution of lakes and rivers in all industrial countries such dimensions adopted, that only drastic measures can help and especially common. At the invitation of the Federal Government discussed possibilities for cooperation in Munich on the first East-West environmental Conference. The German Interior Minister in his opening speech called air pollution a major international challenge.
Traded must immediately. The Federal Government to industry and ver consumers to material contributing to the pure attitude of the air. To drastically reduce the amount of waste gas pollutant, the cars with special catalysts should be supplied from 1986, and all gas stations have to offer unleaded petrol. Of course hope the German motorists as well as the export-oriented automakers on uniform international regulations.
Regular measurements of pollutants in the air help to verify compliance with new regulations for large combustion plants. From the requirements of the verscharften trying also to make the best at coal-fired power plants. So E.g. a special desulphurisation process was developed, which provides nitrogen fertilizer as an end product of sulphur. The use of lime is an emergency measure for the forest. Thus, a further acidification of the soil should be stopped. The rescue of the forest is all of this certainly has not been reached. The race against time goes on.

04. sound sculptures by v. Huene a man walks lonely way - Stephan von Huene - an artist who fits into any Kritiker-template. In building his exhibitions, the observer thinks the electricians are still there. In so doing, the master shall last hand; with screws, wires, mechanic tools, electronic components, Prüfgeraten.
Stephan Huene work are sculpture, furniture, apparatus, musical instrument in one - and he himself has become through his art to computer professionals. Sing, sound and speak his can "Text tone": they save the sounds of their surroundings and play them back changed.
"Kaleidophonic dog lying helpless on the back" was the first audio kinetic sculpture by Huene. Punch tape control the grotesque movement and sound ritual. The art of living in Germany American von Huene claim double attention: they want to be seen and heard.
"Dead sound"-organ pipes with a life of its own.
Only seem to be getting the sounds from the steppes of the shoe soles. Wooden blocks hidden in the box are served by pneumatically driven levers. Stephan move by Huene workpieces with a self-evident, they have long picked the saved programs to their own cause.

05. Wolfenbüttel Dutch builders Wolfenbüttel owes his Idyll. Only a few are preserved - from the canals, which previously crossed the entire town, and some of the most beautiful half-timbered houses.
In the castle of Wolfenbättel, the Dukes of Brunswick-Lüneburg resided until the 18th century. An own Rococo Chateau could offer the town one of its most famous inhabitants: Gotthold Ephraim Lessing wrote here his "Nathan of the wise".
Lessing found enough mental suggestions. Only a few steps away: the BIBLIO-thek von Herzog August, which was the largest library in Europe in the 17th century. She was praised by scholars of the time as the "8th wonder of the world". Among the famous bookworms who browsed around, here was also Casanova, who, after he had countless Amouren behind, claimed to have spent the happiest days of his life in this library. Maybe he has even glanced in the Sachsenspiegel, the famous medieval law book.
Once in the year slip the Wolfenbüttler in historical costumes and stage their own history on the streets. But this 3-day Altstadtfest can't answer the famous question: it was at that time saver or today?

06. motorcycle time in West Berlin in the summer: If there are a few. But Easyrider always take the freedom to play with the horsepower. This year, the city was to the motorcycle capital of Europe, here built the most modern motorcycle plant with two thousand jobs BMW. Precision technology at the highest level. Sixty thousand machines to roll here, if it is properly run, annually by the band. Jewel in the new lineup, which gets her outfit of delicate hand: a water-cooled four-cylinder engine, a floor with a 90 HP, fast enough, perfectly enough fear to teach Japanese competitors.
West Berlin this summer: Here everyone can find his audience, and the range of the small and large liberties taken, enough for all. Feel the power of fire Chair among themselves, life for many is still a bit more attractive.

07. Jürgen Hanan if he runs on, the records wobble: Jürgen Hingsen has raised a new record in the Decathlon each year since 1982. Most recently, he screwed the world record on 8798 points.
The 2-metre model athlete is pursued in all arenas, of female fans. But Jürgen Hingsen is already in solid hands, an American. He who looks so casual as he was straight out of a fashion magazine, to defer to a relentless pressure in their own country. Thanks to the good work of the young are the best German decathlete world and spur each other on to top performances.
Internationally notable scores in the Decathlon require the athletes today physically and osychisch as much strength from that also the world record holder can take little more than two full tournaments per year.
Beyond the limit of 8000 points, the thin air, where also for Jürgen Hingsen often of decisive centimeters to the unermeélichen height and the tenth of a second is to eternity - on the way to new records and medals begins for Decathletes.
