Task:
Unite briefing about the pavilion Germany, into German and into English.

The German pavilion is a rather big building which introduces Germany at the EXPO for 25 weeks. This building consists of glass (the outer walls) partly. There is a restaurant in this pavilion with two entrances, one on the EXPO-PLAZER side and the other one on the side of the “Europahaus”. The administration and the press have their own room, the entrance to it also lies on the side of the “Europahaus”.

The culture program of the German pavilion is next to the entrance of the administration and the press.
The pavilion of Germany is divided into three big areas:
- The workshop of ideas of Germany
- Bridges into the future
- Mosaic Germany
The workshop of ideas is the first area the visitors enter. Altogether 47 portraits of the most famous and most essential people are displayed there. There are also represented personalities of the last 50 years. These people and figures have been made of plaster and steel or iron. Since
these works aren't finished it looks as if the artists had a short break. If you run through this gallery you go on scaffoldings. Everything looks like at a building site. There is a roll on which little information of the figure or the person is given starting with the first Federal Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany Konrad Adenauer (1876-1967) to Konrad Zuse (1910-1995). Konrad Zuse invented the first computers full of operating, program headed of the world. Between this, e.g. still was: Ludwig of Beethoven (1770-1827), Robert Bosch (1861-1942), he invented the sparking plug, Willy Brandt (1913-1992), Albert Einstein, the mouse, Erich Kästner (1899-1947) his classic sentence was: “There is nothing good for, unless you do it!”

The second area is called: "Bridges into the future". This is an all around movie which shows a film of a feast in a yard in Berlin. The spectators have insight views into the coloured drive and into the windows of the occupants of the house from six bridges (on the right and on the left). You can see this film on five big screens. The screens are fixed on the floor as well as on the walls. The film shows you dreams which should become true and dreams which became true.

"Mosaic Germany" lusted and is also the third part the pavilion. This area is adorned by a big tree. Around 16 islands there are the trees. Why just 16 islands? Because Germany has 16 federal states and each is represented on one island. A unicum the respective federal state on every island. The federal state introduces the first German film projector to Brandenburg. So you can look at the unicum of every federal state.
