01 John Neumeier of Americans John Neumeier is one of the most important choreographers of in Germany. He is working not only on the famous Hamburg State Opera Ballet Director, but developed in the last years also own television productions; Here, for example his "the Lady of camellias" after the famous novel by Alexandre Dumas to the music of Frederic Chopin.
John Neumeier, 1942 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, born, head of the Hamburg State Opera Ballet since 1973. In just a few years, he brought the peak force internationally little-known until then. Today, the Hamburg Ballet is one of the leading forces in the world, and the name of John Neumeier is ranked at the top in the international dance theatre.
Why, we ask him, why has he chosen just Hamburg for his spectacular work?
"I've never planned, where I wanted to work. I started as a dancer in Stuttgart, was a year... "and now I've been 20 years in Germany!"
"I find that I can realize my views and visions in the moment in Hamburg. This is not a question of nationality. That is the question, where an artistic vision can best be realized.
02. preparations for the elections are coming up for the next Bundestag elections. In January 1987, the Germans elect their new Parliament. All parties have started preparations for the elections. A lawmaker here advertises his constituents directly with his constituents for the policy advocated by him.
"... we know that we can pack them." We need to make the Kernernergie manageable. You can."
The Green Party is a completely opposite opinion. The headquarters of the federal party discussing how one wants to lead the election campaign. The motto is: Green breaks through! The mostly environmentally-motivated Green Party, now in opposition, must receive at least 5% of the vote, if they want to be represented in the Bundestag.
You don't have the worry at the CSU. Franz Josef Strauß can be assured of its voters. Just 2 months ago, the CSU in Bavaria won a big election victory and has been confirmed with more than the absolute majority. The CSU is the only game which arises only in a federal country, namely Bavaria, to the election. The "blue-white" and their President Franz Josef Strauß are concerning: "We will win because we have the better policy, because we have better personalities, because we have the better principles and have better goals."
The "blue-yellow", the liberal free democratic party, is seeking a campaign of's unique style. You go on the road, advertises with brochures, addresses the citizens directly and individually. The FDP will together form the Government - as usual - with the CDU and CSU.
The Social Democrats, now main opposition party, are the major challengers in the upcoming election. Their top candidate Johannes Rau will be Chancellor and take over the Government. In November, the SPD launched large events where Johannes Rau made clear, what matters to him: "... which means that it no longer market forces want to decide whether jobs. We want responsibility alone for this Federal Republic!"
The CDU promotes "a good future". Their electoral prospects are good. The top candidate of the CDU, German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, refers to the recent successes of his Government: "... that we now, after four years, that House Federal Republic of Germany ', the House ' Federal Republic of Germany ', which had become dilapidated, have brought back all right." The static right again. But the election is won on the 25. "January, 18:00, when the polls - and not a minute before."
03. model railways for fathers were always the favorite toy of the German boy model railways. Old models are now prized collector's items. Paid to many thousand mark.
Of course toy trains are intended for children, which move the model systems at exhibitions and in department stores in droves. But that seems to fascinate even more their fathers. They speak of course of "Toys", they say "Model car". They owe their dignity! The marketing strategists of the world famous toy industry in Nuremberg have already realized that the greater part of all model railways not for children but for the fathers will be purchased.
Children watch only. Because it is usually too complicated for them. The newest acquisition is: digital system!
This latest craze in model railways also permits up to 80 locomotives due to installation of numerous electronic devices on a model system to drive and operate also over 250 points and signals independently of each other, if necessary with the aid of a computer.
The new development is its market. Sales rose by 10% to 3.5 billion marks. German model cars are exported to all over the world: A toy has become an economic factor.
The big deal with the small railway is especially good for Christmas. The children enjoy their fathers - but perhaps even more.
04. truck drivers School of some people already desperate centimetre to rank a small passenger car. How much harder must it be only 20 or with a 30-ton truck! The men of the heavy trucks must learn... but what do you mean 'Men'?
More and more girls want to be in Germany "professional drivers". Meanwhile, every fifth professional driver is a woman.
Who should believe that girls want to do no heavy and dirty work or less skillfully perform technical handles, was mistaken. The instructor at the school of truck drivers in the Odenwald see there no differences. When changing the heavy truck wheels, the girls tackle as well as for greasing down in the pit.
Theory is important. Electrics, mechanics, motor customer: Truckers need to know know, because later should they in any position to help even if no workshop nearby.
But of course, the practical exercises are the most important. Exits, the passing road narrow and twisty, narrow place passages are again and again into the curriculum.
Certificate at the end of the training in the "professional training centre for road transport", as what is officially called the remote school in the Odenwald, is sought after. More and more companies create value on careful training of the driver, whom they trust finally expensive vehicles and precious cargo.
Good ride... especially in wet and fog!
