01 steel industry in crisis 0'37 the end of quiet tones: steel workers and miners protesting to preserve their jobs.
"This is the most important. We have five to twelve, and that's why we are also here."
0'50 the German steel industry is in its worst crisis. There is no salvation for several metallurgical plants. Up to 30,000 jobs are at risk.
"I'm afraid for my job, that can affect everyone."
"We are all afraid of course to our work; one more and the other less. We hope but that the economy again, and that we can get our work on this."
1'12 yet the economy currently is not playing. Industries - about the automotive industry, complain of job declines. In addition: in steel production - Europe - significant over-capacities have built up. It will produce more than sold.
1'30 that was different in the 50s and 60s. The demand for steel was great. Heavy industry - especially in the Ruhr area - has become the motor of the German economic miracle.
1'42 here was well deserved in the past decades, the standard of living rose. -Today, the steel industry is one of the sectors where high wages are paid. Attractive social benefits and the 35-hour week make bearable the hard job in the hot iron.
The downside: The production costs are high; German steel is expensive.
2'10 walking the ovens soon from? No - Economics Minister Günter Rexrodt says: "steel is always needed, and steel is also in Germany can further be produced and must. What here needs to take place is a further rationalisation - a harder, more difficult process, a reduction of capacity, but on modern technology, which in principle have the Germans, that is feasible."
2'36 major German steelmakers have recognized the trend: the future is today especially in the processing of crude steel to high-quality products, as to corrosion-protected sheets.
2'54 soon, for example, complete body parts for passenger cars in the steelworks produced; an adjustment process which is costing jobs and requires huge investments.
3'09 the Economics Minister considers this structural change unavoidable: "it a process of change takes place in the economy, which brings about that so-called"mature industries"- and this includes steel, and mining - that the shrink and that other industries includes stronger and bigger." "This is a normal, hard process and often not easy for those affected."
3'34 were the hundreds of thousands, who marched in the Ruhr area against the closure plans. But it is clear that sticking to non-productive jobs is no permanent solution also workers. The opportunities lie in the specialisation in high-quality steel, which is in demand on the world market. - But that in itself does not create jobs for all; This task remains the politicians, businessmen and trade unionists.
02. children's Party at the Chancellor 4'47 that day, everything was different: no State guests, no foreign diplomats. Master of the House had invited to a big children's Festival in Bonn: German Chancellor Helmut Kohl.

Advertise 5'54 for a child-friendly society, which was the concern of the Federal Chancellor. -His advice to the youth: "we live in peace, we live in freedom; "and I guess all they should use the opportunity, you want to keep your eyes open, to learn what and do what their lives."
6'13 but learning needed to have heard even to life on this day no - fun together.
03. Construction of motorways in Germany 6 where Germany was once divided, going to ' 24 ', bigger ran created a connecting element - a highway bridge, 40 m above the Richelsdorfer Valley near Eisenach. Next year will bring the accumulated traffic between East and West on 12 km length of in flow.
6'45 40 years of road construction in the former GDR has been neglected, there is much to do, so that even in the new Länder, the economy gets an intact infrastructure.

8'39 despite all odds: builders appreciate the world's oceans almost their changing work place on German motorways as the sailors. You can see the interventions in the nature, but also the growing traffic in Germany and Europe.
