Germany is witnessing a constant rise in the number of private schools – there are roughly 3000 at present. The reason: Many parents have lost faith in state-run education, not least after the damning verdict and the abysmal ratings of the so-called 2006 PISA report. They prefer to send their children to privately funded schools. The percentage of private students has reached eight percent nationwide and has doubled since the mid-1990s, regardless of monthly tuition fees of an average 150 Euros per child. Private schools may follow a variety of different educational approaches. Nevertheless they are united in their ultimate objective of providing a better and individually-tailored education to their pupils. Hamburg’s Bugenhagen College is one of the schools that are going down this route. It is particularly worth mentioning that the college does not differentiate between non-handicapped and disabled youngsters.
Each year in Germany between 400 and 550 people fall victim to fires. Interestingly, in most cases the actual cause of death is not the blaze itself but smoke inhalation. Two minutes of exposure to thick smoke can result in such serious lung damage that oxygen no longer reaches vital organs in sufficient quantities. Now a new mobile heart-lung machine might help to save lives in situations like these.
Roughly 100,000 licensed skin divers are active in Germany. In Frankfurt on the river Oder three clever buffs have just devised a way to introduce the underwater world to everyone. A two-man mini-submarine enables people to submerge without a license and without getting wet. By now submersible Nemo 100 has won awards and attracted worldwide interest. At a cost of about 180,000 Euros the vehicle, produced in a small batch series only, targets a wholly new market for mini-subs: Compared to other submersibles Nemo is a real bargain.
Just in time to the increase in prosperity of well known economic institutes
the caravaning industry also comes along with a smile on its face. The
business-fair about mobile homes, caravans and camping offers everything for
the unbelieably solvent customer down to the economically priced model with
a Dacia Logan base. But there are also news for the nearly ancient mobile
homes: filters for carbon-particulate matter to upgrade cleaning systems for
exhaust-emissions. A brighter future for old diesel-engines in Germany.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution – or “Industry 4.0” for short – is redefining the way we interact with machines. Industrial machines are becoming increasingly autonomous as they gain the ability to function independently of human input. One of the first examples of this new generation of machinery is already in use in Germany.
