I like the Auer Dult, a traditional annual market in Munich better than the Oktoberfest. Especially on a beautiful Sunday like this weekend. As the name indicates, the market place located at Mariahilfplatz in the Munich district of Au and taking place three times per year. The weather was good, so I rode a bike...

Letztes Wochenende fuhr ich mit meinem Sohn zu den Märklintagen in Göppingen bei Stuttgart. Es war eine bestens durchorganisierte Veranstaltung, die ihres gleichen suchen muss. Ich habe mit vielen Mitarbeitern bei der Werksbesichtigung gesprochen, und war sehr beeindruckt von der Freundlichkeit, der Kompetenz und emotionale Bindung zur Arbeit und Produkt dieser Mitarbeiter.

No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come, but condense, if you will, the 50,000 years of man¹s recorded history in a time span of but a half-century. Stated in these terms, we know very little about the first 40 years, except at the end of them advanced man had...
Whatever you can say about Leni Riefenstahl (1902-2003) and plenty of people have said (and written) a lot about her, she led a fascinating life. She was beautiful and talented. She was a woman in a man’s field. She made her career during Hitler’s Third Reich. Three strikes and you’re out. Riefenstahl’s life Despite (I...

Accidentally CERNs technician put an internal video in youtube without GEMA permission. I may believe CERN cannot control Gods tiny HIGGS particles, but their own web? Long live wikileaks. The so-called Higgs Boson was predicted 40 years ago by British physicist...
“Truth is not determined by a majority vote.” ― Pope Benedict XVI What we are seeing in our time is a generation, where truth is relative to what people wish to believe. Those with this mindset have now infiltrated and are actively taking over our Christian institutions. It is influenced by a Science of Religion that was...
Catholic Church – Bells and Smells and proud of it . Herr Mattussek hat in jedem Argument Substanz gezeigt und in kurzen Sätzen immer den Punkt getroffen. Die süffisanten Einwürfe von Claudius Seidl waren immerhin unterhaltsam. Selbst da punktet der Interviewer nicht: “Bells and smells” sagte ein Benediktinerpriester kürzlich zu mir selbstironisch. Die katholische Kirche ist sich ihrer Vorteile bewusst....
