02. Walter Kempowski a writer who embodies a piece of German contemporary history - Walter Kempowski.
In his house, surrounded by North German Moors, Kempowski wrote his most famous novels. Works in which he has woven the own biography with a piece of European post-war history.
Source and reference point in these novels is the birthplace of the writer: Rostock, the old Hanseatic City on the Baltic Sea, located in today's East Germany. Kempowski can no longer come back. It was built and connected to the birthplace of the writer by centuries Lübeck - such as Rostock in the style of North German brick where he was honored for his 60th birthday. Again, this author has worked the past into narratives. The filming of these substances also found an audience of millions, veil many people share his fate. -Tells is the story of a young man of who takes farewell to Germany after World War II by his family in the then Soviet occupation zone. A way that it should never return.
"There is the border, the driver said, keep right on the garden past; and venn ditch coming, you made it. It var already duster, the child were given sleeping pills so that it's not screaming. The woman cried, the man took the child on her arm, head over to the shoulder, and I ran behind him. But I thought it was a small distance. Venn they got him, I could express myself maybe. Within sight of the highlighted Turnpike was - then came the border trench. The boots proved to vasserdicht."
Walter Kempowski of his wife shows that border crossing where he then fled to Germany from Germany more than forty years later.
Kempowski won't let go of the history of his homeland split in two States: he collects reports on a "German Chronicle", an elaborate attempt to describe the last 50 years in the level of personal experience of the people. -"Myth of Sisyphus" - the provisional title.

03. EC internal market Europe - a continent grows together. It has started in 1957 in Rome. Six European countries established the European economic community. Their goal: free persons and movement of goods between Member States, a piece of Europe without borders. The community, now grown to 12 States, now heading for the attainment of this objective: Ende_1992 will be the impact trees in Western Europe the last barriers to trade.
So are the groundwork for an economic and social area with 320 million inhabitants. From late 1992 all companies from EC countries can offer their goods and services in other Member States under the same conditions as in their own country.
Although there are now no customs duties, goods can still freely cross the borders. Still, the charge of a transporter must be specified before crossing the border. It doesn't matter whether it is Spanish wine, Italian fashion and German cars. The uneven tax rates and national standards for each product - barriers, which applies to dismantle it yet on the way to the internal market are responsible for: considering the plethora of rules and regulations in each of the 12 Member States a challenge for European policy. Because Ende_1992 expected to be concluded with the border controls.
Then: free travel from Scotland to Sicily, without passport controls and import restrictions also on the outside will not seal themselves off the community, but keep open the borders for trade.
Consumers will feel the realisation of the internal market, especially in the cheaper product range. But then unrestricted freedom of movement - Europe also applies to the people and the Europeans grow together even more.

05. State visit to Gorbatshows in Germany Bonn under the banner of the Soviet state visit. Michail Gorbatschow has been welcomed by Federal President Richard von Weizsäcker.
Both leaders agreed that the visit took place in a particularly favourable moment.
In a time where the East West relationship has been newly in motion, must be used even more than previously on dialogue and cooperation. The Federal Republic also have positive effects on the reform process in Eastern Europe that peaceful era on the continent can initiate a new hopes for from the visit.
On the outskirts of talks with German business leaders, scientific projects and advanced technologies were presented of the Soviet delegation. The Soviet Union would urgently modernize their production facilities. The guests were particularly impressed with the industrial robots.
No question: This precision machines could serve not only German wine, without shedding a drop. In the political talks with German Chancellor Helmut Kohl was just as friendly as factually, without excluding contentious issues.
Germany wants starting progress by establishing the Federal Republic in the Western Alliance, quickly on new ways of understanding. As Gorbachev himself said, a line under the post-war era should be considered nit this visit.
Political highlight of the visit: the signing of the Joint Declaration. In the Soviet Union does adopt important statements as to the right to self-determination of peoples and human rights. A historical document and a milestone on the way to more trust between East and vest.
The population of the capital welcomed Gorbachev on the Bonner marketplace with applause. In the jubilation of the Bonner the sympathy for a man expresses itself, which his country also against resistance in a profound process of political transformation performs. Friendly Gorbachev expresses the hope, that the confrontation of the blocks, especially suffer the Germans as a divided nation will overcome and coming to Europe of a liberal future.

The favorite among the horses called "Turf King" this time – so many King's been dethroned.
Start a Derby that should make for some Oberraschung. Even the keenest eye could account for the winner before the finish, especially if the field here went head to head.
In the HomeStretch, an outsider had the Groove front: "Taishan", even in circles a blank slate. The jubilation at the few risk takers, who had used on him was great.
But too early happy. The race disqualified a winner for the first time. The reason: he had pushed the following competitors. The owner of the official winner was pleased however about the kiss of the Hamburg Mayor - and about 360,000 mark prize.
