Franks
Empire in the Early Middle Ages
The Franks presumably arose from various western Germanic tribes originally living between the Rhine and Weser rivers. In the beginning, they were not a unified tribe yet but consisted of several bands under their own leaders. Since the middle of the 3rd century some of them attacked the Imperium Romanum, the large Roman Empire. In Late Antiquity, the Roman Empire was already weakened by domestic strife and since 395 it was divided into the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire. While East Rome continued to exist as the Byzantine Empire, the West Germanic tribes contributed to the final fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 by their conquests during the time of the so-called Great Migration. Also in the Roman province referred to as Gaul by the Romans, large Germanic tribes established themselves, among them Western Goths, Burgundians and Alemanni as well as Franks, and created their own small realms.

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.
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.
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.
