Federal President
Highest Office in the State
The Federal President holds the highest office in the Federal Republic of Germany. Quote Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier: “Mr. President, dear competitors, Ladies and Gentlemen, …“ The current acting president, Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier, was elected by the great majority of 931 members of the Federal Assembly on February 12, 2017. Quote Dr. Norbert Lammert: “And for Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier 931 votes…“ He has no government controlling function in the political system of the Federal Republic of Germany. He is meant to represent, not to govern, thus effectively promoting and communicating Germany’s political interests and political actions in the world . Quote Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier: “I thank the members of this Federal Assembly from my heart for the encouragement with which they have sent me on the way to the highest office of the state today. Their decision fills me with deep joy and my high regard for this office will remain undiminished.“ Quote: “Please take a seat!“

Blogging
The weblog or blog, for short, as a medium is not much older than this century. Blogs came into being in the World Wide Web as ’messages from below’, as web pages from web creators who wanted to share their view of the world with the world. They are short notes, long texts, pictures, videos, which are posted loosely and at random intervals to the world for an undefined public.
Youth Movement
Dancing until your feet hurt: Here, at the meeting on the Hoher Meissner near Kassel, 3,500 participants from Boy Scout associations, youth and Wandervogel groups from all over the German-speaking region have gathered. They want to celebrate, simply get to know each other and commemorate a historic anniversary.
Air Traffic
Being able to fly has been a dream of humanity from time immemorial. But it does not even date back a century that people actually started being able to travel through the air. Since the 1960s, the number of flight passengers has been constantly increasing. Thus, the airspace is no longer dominated by birds but by man-made flying objects.
