Hamburg - Ein Mann und seine Stadt
1986, German lang., 60 min. - Your host, former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt,
takes us on a tour through Hamburg, the city where he was born and raised.
Der Mann ist Helmut Schmidt und die Stadt ist Hamburg, seine Geburtsstadt, in
der er aufgewachsen ist, Senator war und wohin er waehrend seiner Amtszeit als
Bundeskanzler (1974 - 1982) die Grossen der Welt einlud, wenn sie in der Bundesrepublik
Station machten. Helmut Schmidt liebt seine Heimatstadt, aber die Liebe hat
ihn nicht blind gemacht. Sein kritischer Blick sieht auch ihre Probleme und
Schattenseiten. Der Film handelt nicht nur von der Gegenwart, die Geschichte
der Stadt spielt eine fast ebenso grosse Rolle - von den Tagen der Hanse ueber
die "Franzosenzeit" bis zu den Bombennaechten von 1943 und weiter
zur Flutkatastrophe von 1962; kein landlaeufiges Staedteportrait, sondern ein
sehr persoenliches Bekenntnis.

Lipizzaner From Austria
English lang., 40 min. - The Lipizzaner are the oldest cultivated breed of horse
in Europe. For hundreds of years they served Emperors and Queens in battle and
on the parade ground. During the Era of the Austria-Hungarian Empire they were
bred with great care. Originating from the now Yugoslavian village of Lipizza,
the Lipizzaner horses branched were to be found all over the monarchy. A unique,
unparalleled species was born. The disintegration of the Habsburg Monarchy very
nearly led to extinction of the Lipizzaner breed. Piber - which is one of the
few studs open to the public - succeeded in saving those horses that had survived
in Austria. There are only 400 Lippizaner mares suitable for breeding in the
whole world. Approximately a 100 of them, are in the Piber stud. The breeders
work from Guidelines set down more than 2000 years ago by the ancient Greeks.
The result is the unique creatures now performing in the Spanish Riding School
in Vienna.
