01 Dörfle in Karlsruhe whether people feel comfortable, much depends on their environment, their environment. The people feel in the Karlsruhe district "Dörfle". This district is considered to be an outstanding example for the new concept of urban renewal in the Federal Republic.
Looked like the "Dörfle" before its renovation: a run-down residential district, with narrow, dilapidated houses.
Previously, such a neighbourhood was demolished. In Karlsruhe, the motto was: save, what to save, and the new with the old so to combine that modern architecture is perceived by residents rather than foreign.
The new takes into consideration on the old scale and structure. Closed Street walls with protected courtyards and articulated, broken roads have created a philanthropic Habitat. The long-established residents quickly identify with him, and the new residents are suitable to him in many ways. Earlier, the environment was marked by social fringe groups. Today, artists houses, studios and galleries spreading Metropolitan flair. This urban renewal model funded with government grants set many new trends - about with a terraced house settlement on a Park building.
Detached houses with terraces and small gardens: a village situated on the roof of the big city.
02 German forests low-emission cars is sick, just like in other industrialized countries. Pollutants from the air - such as nitrogen and sulfur dioxide – have left him. The environmental laws constantly increased in Germany meet well the car, whose Abgase contribute to the forest damage.
The Federal Republic was the first large country in Europe the strict emissions standards in the United States and Japan takes over from the middle of this year. For a transitional period, motorists may still choose: those who opt for a abgas entgiftetes car, will be rewarded with a big tax rebate. In 4 years, only low-emission cars are allowed. The flue gas cleaning system consists of electronic components and a catalytic converter in the exhaust. Many car companies offer already so converted models, others provide this equipment as an additional package and leave the decision to the motorists.
A clean environment has a price: the new technology of exhaust gas become more expensive the car, engine performance drops slightly, while slightly increasing fuel consumption. The catalyst can withstand only unleaded petrol. The petrol stations in the Federal Republic must now convert: a desired effect. Because also the lead in gasoline is one of the worst environmental poisons.
After the cleanse for petrol cars are vehicles with diesel engine in the series. Still, the diesel is the currently most environmentally friendly way to drive a car. But he produced soot. However, soot filter to help, now being developed.
The cars produce only a portion of the pollutants that impact on our environment. But if the cars are detoxified, the nature again to get some air, and also of the forest, which occupies a special place in the emotional life of the Germans have always been.
03. tea for Germany Hamburg, the largest and oldest port city in Germany. The old warehouse district, where many importers have their offices and warehouse is located away from the modern transhipment facilities.
Also the German tea drinkers are served from here. Over two-thirds of tea imports to run over Hamburg.
The old floors are ideal. Here, the tea chests from India and Ceylon are stacked before its contents are examined, processed and further sent. More than 20,000 tonnes a year.
Just 2.86 grams of each type are brewed 5 minutes - for the quality test through the "ago taster" of German consumers. Highly paid specialists who check each pattern with fine tongue and nose. Taste, smell and appearance of the tea leaves: sure it is. Depends on the skill of the tea Kosters, whether proven teas in the same quality come to the consumer. Taste selects the varieties for tea blends.
The German tea drinkers are demanding and require top quality. You can now choose between 140 varieties. They still aren't so heavy tea drinkers like the English. But the popularity of this invigorating according to desire or soothing beverage is steadily increasing.
04. US artists in Germany: Kienholz to visit in a large Berlin apartment. The former living room as a Studio workshop, with a penchant for the second-hand goods Act. The home of Nancy and Edward Kienholz. You working one of her still life crowded with figures in the moments of everyday life are fixed on a new work of art -. The couple invited Kienholz wurde_1973 for the first time to West Berlin for a year. Now Nancy and Ed live half a year each at home on the land in Idaho/United States and the other six months here in Berlin. We asked her about the reason for the constantly changing: it is likely the contrast. In Idaho, on the land, it is absolutely original: nature, not culture, you can feel a kind of pleasant rural isolation. And then we get on a plane and come to Berlin and it is incredible. The city is safe, interesting, the restaurants are good and the people are nice here.
Both Kienholz are artists and collectors in one. Edward, who was formerly with used cars and its environments today are among the most coveted objects, for the international galleries says, "you meet people through the, what they throw away." In Kien wood ' hands it is the work of art.
"We like Berlin," says Nancy. "We could live anywhere in the world and we think also of other places. But we always come back to Berlin. Hard to say why exactly. "But it's a good city for us."
Kienholz, what he needs is on the Berlin flea markets, in backyards and garages. For example, the heads of mannequins that he completes his figures at home.
"The Berlin wall is a very interesting thing for me. I really despise it, I don't like what it is, I like it not, people on and shut out. Not out driving in the country for a picnic, to make a trip to the mountains, it is not in the GDR, you are captured in the experience of this city here. "And no single city I felt it so like here in Berlin."
05. Schiller and Marbach writing he tried to make people free and better: Friedrich Schiller, a national poet of the Germans. The House of his birth in Marbach am Neckar was soon reconstructed after his death in 1805 as a Memorial. Getting out of the personal belongings of the poet what seemed suitable to keep alive the memory of him was put together by his admirers. The rave cult which were driven in the 19th century with Schiller, is however long since gone.
That once a vest or pants of the poet had the rank of a relic, a smile still evokes.
More serious is the Schiller National Museum. Here to invite spiritual testimonies of the poet for viewing and studying. The premiere poster for "The robber" is reminiscent of his first stage play, with which he rebelled against political bondage, and established his reputation as Germany's freedom poet. His poems include 150 years of required reading in German schools.
The German literature archive, work in the German literature from home and abroad is located next to the National Museum. Read Schiller and what others wrote about him and still write. Because he is not filed. With its big dramas, he is still the most played classic on the German stage.
06. German curiosities: East Frisians Abitur "Why turn away the gulls their views, if they land in East Frisia?" Answer: "thus the stupid faces of the East Frisians see them..."
The inhabitants of flat coastal line of the North Sea are used that to make crude jokes at their expense. Long time, considered how to fool the nation: woodcuts Germans with much muscle and little brain.
Meanwhile on the East Frisians come to do business with their supposed stupidity: they persuade more citizens from year to year, as holiday-makers to make the East Frisians Abitur.
A graduate of special kind between fun and nutritious pleasure, from the milking of an artificial cow to the powder of the crab.
The East Frisians graduation as revenge for the East Frisian jokes. At the latest at the awarding of the maturity certificate is clear: now the East Frisians have where they are even in their opinion their countrymen: at the corner of fools.
07. fil Luge Championships in Winterberg, Germany before starting the doping test for sled runners: who warms them and makes it faster, flies relentlessly out of the competition. Luger also use today all technical tricks to outsmart nature. Racing shoes and paint suits are allowed. You increase the wind friction. The helmet with full face, for better protection in crashes is prescribed.
Where snow and ice are and a slope is toboggan in the world. Since ancient times. Tobogganing as Olympic discipline there are only 20 years ago. On the electronically controlled artificial rinks, today only hundredths of seconds separate winners and losers.
Young and very young have dedicated to this sport. It takes temerity probably a portion, to throw himself backwards in the Bobsleigh and to control the sled - with a speed of 120 kilometers per hour just by shifting your weight through the loops and curves.
Whole 50 seconds a drive through die_15 takes curves of the plant in Winterberg, Germany: almost a race in free fall. A feeling Association regardless of victory and defeat at the end of the participants of the German Championship: relief about the happy ending of a hazardous journey.
