The Berlin production, with its risqué promotional campaign, has already been causing quite a stir in the German capital. The Admiralspalast theater has been draped in giant red flags bedecked with black pretzels and sausages — a satire on the swastika flag, illegal in postwar Germany.

It took eight years for Mel Brooks’ runaway Broadway musical success to come to Germany, but “The Producers” is finally opening in Berlin

Student Jake Loniak is the author of one of the most innovative concept to date vehicles. Before you – exoskeleton motorcycle, Deus Ex Machina, which the driver will need to literally put on a costume or as a kind of «external skeleton». The on-board computer will detect the movement of the human body and to translate them into commands to change the direction of motion, in addition, management will be implemented through 36 artificial muscles (produced by German company Festo), built-in skeleton. This bike will be powered from lithium-ion batteries are very resistant and you can park it vertically, that is certainly a big plus. Despite the surreal concept, the author claims that all of this – not a fantasy, but reality and that the prototype could be designed. ??? ???, ???????, ????? ?????????, ??… All this, of course, very tempting, but … as something too unusual, or not? .

Tallest church in the world

Ulm Cathedral (German: Ulmer Münster) is a Lutheran church, the tallest church in the world, with a steeple measuring 161.53 m (530 ft) and containing 768 steps. Located in Ulm, Germany, the church is not a cathedral in the technical ecclesiastical sense, as it has never been the seat of a bishop. (The responsible bishop of the Evangelical Church in Germany resides in Stuttgart.) However, it is a famous example of Gothic ecclesiastical architecture and is typically and mistakenly described as a cathedral. After climbing to the top level at 143m there is a panoramic view of Ulm in Baden-Württemberg and Neu-Ulm in Bavaria and, in clear weather, a vista of the Alps from Säntis to the Zugspitze. The final stairwell to the top (known as the 3rd Gallery) is a tall, spiraling staircase that has barely enough room for one person.Like the famous Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) – another building of the Gothic era – the Ulm Münster was not completed until the 19th century.
