Thirty Years’ War
Causes, Development, Consequences
For thirty years war was waged in an area where Germany and Austria are located today.
Back then, it consisted of many small countries that were ruled by their respective princes.
Since 936 AD these countries were grouped together under the term “Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation“.
Most of the time it was ruled by an emperor.
At the time of the Thirty Years’ War these were Emperor Matthias, Emperors Ferdinand II and Ferdinand III.
Since 1438 the emperors came from the Habsburg family.
The other princes’ fear of the constantly increasing power of the Habsburgs eventually was one of the causes of the Thirty Years’ War.
So the issue at stake was supremacy in Germany and Europe.
But it was also a fight between Catholics and Protestants who argued over the ”right” faith.
It is considered one of the longest and most cruel wars in history.

Internet Addiction
The film consists of two parts. The first part is the 15-minute short film “In the Net”. It describes the problem of excessive Internet use in a humorous way, in particular the risk of losing touch with reality when chatting. The second part illustrates with three real persons how Internet addiction can develop and the problems encountered by those who are afflicted. The authentic statements are commented by an experienced therapist. For many pupils, the issues addressed here are related to their everyday lives. What is a “sensible” use of the Internet, where does pathological addiction start? In contrast to addiction to alcohol, nicotine or drugs, the public seems to be largely ignorant of the problem of this addiction, which is not related to any substance abuse. The film provides material for discussion in the classroom (crossdisciplinary) and can be used as a basis for the formulation of prevention strategies.
Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
