If we give into the scenes the resurrection of the body and live life has a lasting amen. That would very good not have got it noyce i was the one necessary for the pastor. But not all of the kids know their confession of faith as well as the twins pastor roger gets tough. If you cant remember it all cancelled tomorrow i keep telling you youre the ones who have to declare your confession of faith you have to recite it on your own i wont tell. Stephanie hard can also be stern come. Up she agrees to practice with each candidate. Only the twins are allowed to recite together. But the kids do get to choose a group activity. As a gassing is really cool guys. Not everyone would do it no. Conference this. Week or but how do you get a. Feel. For. Oh no lepping after all were. No outing is complete without a souvenir photo. Now we know stephanie much better before. We know that we can share anything with her and she doesnt get mad or say no. Its not so much and i have never been go cussing said was fun and just because im a 35 doesnt mean im over the hill. Back in the church ellen heart is explaining the lords supper right now to a trainee. Thats why so at this point when were standing before the altar we have to turn stretch out our arms and sing to the congregation mind who. Was. A sin in my house officially ellen is just the pastors wife but since shes also an ordained minister the spouses share many duties its great for the parish 2 pastors for the price of one. In the past imo only had male pastors their pictures hang behind the altar some of them were so popular that streets were named after them then stacy and ellen hockey arrived. Must pass its great having them in the parish i like how she holds the Services Partner fits in marvelously and can also feel. Great really great unique very good. Friendly likeable very approachable i think shes good. To. A meeting with the local mayor. But. Well probably have to celebrate christmas outdoors. We can only accommodate 43. 00 in the church and theyll be 500. 00 people we can do it in the church. The vital identity if you need firm ground the tunnel next to the gym and Community Center would be an alternative construction work should be finished by november at least that would give you a level space does this to me the 1st. To say it should be finished by november. Once. There. Is a fan hes even appeared in one of the videos for people in love with me is the deputy mayor of giants and the mayor of the whole area. Is give me some war so mr mayor you know my other guys. Have dragged me up here for the wonderful be you good video i thought id see my church tower i was over there i cant see anything at all. And think its the hundreds has become something people here identify with a supporter i meet a lot of people the local historian for instance who say did you see the new video yesterday theres a lot of enthusiasm guys dresses issues in a completely new way and its fascinating it appeals to all age groups and the people are happy to be associated with it so. That they can. After seeing the mare pastor stephanie meets her youth group like every friday evening she works on the youtube videos in her free time. First and foremost stephanie god is imus pastor the focus of this evening is the upcoming confirmations. The young people here have already been confirmed but they want to help their pastor with this years services. Who will be there on sunday. Yes who can be there from the start i mean and onsen sunday arrives the big day due to the coronavirus pandemic. Is setting up the service and im outdoors. Her sisters and their husbands have come to lend a hand. You know. And that turns out to be somewhat difficult. Not only do they have to consider social distancing regulations but they also have to figure out the best place to put everything on the on even lawn. On. And i mean on this in i thought. 3 years ago the Parish Council was asked if they were willing to have a lesbian couple as pastors and. They havent regretted their decision to except stephanie and ellen vodka. Using their wonderful pastas for the parish it was absolutely we do even a thing from a very conservative traditional pastor like the ones we used to pastors that emerson fresh completely new that the church was full from the start i thought what was happening here you have to expand the building. Stephanie aka has already confirmed 3 young people in the neighboring village. Now its time for the Confirmation Service in. Because i think we should move the old over there. Thats what is the only spot where it didnt what its been stabilized and you need to pay for him to move. After all the time and effort to took to set things up pastor rocca has other ideas about where the altar should go. She wants it closer to the kneeler. Tries her best to explain the difficulty of finding smooth spots on the lawn for the table and chairs. You can but the pastor wont give in. To take up in this whole business is there after some discussion about various things that could go wrong the decision is made to move the needle or closer to the altar instead. Without even trying. And then the ceremony begins. Rather than one Large Service there are several small Confirmation Services because of covert 19. There stress backstage. In the parish hawkish and Zuzana Charter rinses small glasses for the communion. Because of the pandemic each confirmation candidate is given a separate glass. The final Confirmation Service of the day is with this is even a twins held in their own backyard. Imagine this in the name of the father the son and the holy spirit. Stephanie is a village pastor with heart and soul. And. She never wanted to serve a congregation in berlin. And guard against evil helpful and strength all good. Youve said yes to our church to your god and saying yes means yes to everything and part of that everything is the lords supper and its beautiful that we can now celebrate it together this is my body which is given for you do this in memory of me christs body given for you. Because of the coronavirus we cant shake hands but we can do this. Other side of your brother were. Given to me. Christ says i am the light of the world and whoever follows be able never walk in darkness but will receive eternal life and so go in the peace of the lord d. Stephanie hardcores contract has just been extended for 10 years and her you tube channel and those are men has been nominated for a media prize locally and internationally its a Success Story but only just. This i think the greatest thing we could achieve is no longer being viewed as different but simply as part of the church and the world and later we can have a Senior Citizens channel about incontinence or whatever but nobody would be viewed as different. Were going to call it im content. But. Things will be making a future of it is until were old and gray. That. Was about. How i have 2 sides of come together in the years following german unification. In pop culture. Music. And last but not least. 30 years of john mccain show from the perspective of. The world looks. On g. W. Crushes came as used to come here to chill.

Oddly try and not all of them come straight from the heart just for see it even when there is no more delusional mush to enjoy come. From the fruit of the law to their final resting place the russians on g. W. Documentary. 30 years ago these images of wind around the world on october 3rd to 1990 germany was united barely one year after the fall of the thought it was the signing of the unification treaty in 1990 saw the end of east germany now all germans shared one parliaments and one currency and today only remnants of the burly wall remain. And with a war welcome to this special edition of your own max well be taking you on a 2 of the german capital including places where the german german divide has left its marks here at the pot some are plots this is where the water used to run and for a long time it was a barren space there are no signs of it here today in todays program we will meet a window of germany unity define love without borders and taken a star look back at the berlin techno scene yeah but 1st we meet an artist who hurts to shape the image of birdland after a unity jim. Jim and the young created a 15 meter stretch of the east side gallery the longest remaining section of the berlin wall. We met him by his artwork at the famous open air gallery. Thing with. Complex song i think german unity was a complex and difficult process and i think its still not completed. Even though i wasnt so sure about it at the time its good that it happened it was necessary. And looking back i must say that im happy to have witnessed the entire process. As artist had the opportunity to do a lot of the east and the west and to get to know one understand both sides and maybe reflect that in my work somehow. In 99118 artists from 21 countries brightened up a 1300 metre long section of the wall that faced. His painted thanks to years ago and what became known as the east side gallery. In trial i was. None of us had any way of knowing that it would become what it is today namely one of the main Tourist Attractions in berlin or in germany. And a kind of memorial a place of pilgrimage for people from all over the world who want to remember the wall and pentagon. This is what his section of the wall looks like today in 2013 he secretly painted over his old work and course discussion of a new and his health was wanted to make a statement about the negative aspects of the new berlin. I painted everything i had witnessed in berlin in 2013. The investors of the digital behaviors Walking Around with lattes on their laptops in the world queuing in front of clubs they wont get into. The us just grew up in west germany and in the 1990 s. Was active in the lens art scene he painted murals on the walls of techno clubs and helped provoke is it happening then he was commissioned to work for a watch manufacturer and an airline. His larger than life murals can now be found around the globe. Having your what is. Also a musician and a d. J. Under the name new and team he released his videos and regularly performs in clubs throughout germany. But 1st and foremost hes a painter and one of germanys most successful pop art artists his artist name is a tribute to the french city where he began his career with street art his colorful interpretations of abuses in the world has become his trademark his current exhibition in berlin is entitled tomorrow never know. Tomorrow never knows songs. Never noticed one of my favorite beatle songs and describes the sense of lights on certainties. Its always been this way but especially now we cant predict where the world is heading. Due to the whole corona thing but also politically aligned. On the one hand theres a sense of anticipation but also an unsettling feeling of insecurity. In june of this year other your put this feeling into images on the 40 meter high will of the building in northern ireland. Laid down by unwanted ballast is a balloon heading into the i mean i really cant imagine what the future holds for the world for germany or for berlin. Yet he remains an optimist because he saw how a wall that people once died trying to cross became a work of art. I have a hard time imagining what it would be like if germany were still divided. But i think itll take one or 2 more generations before this process is completed. The process of process jim having your will continue to monitor this process closer. And no doubt discover many more motifs for his work. Even if it might look like it the building behind me is not an old palace on a going renovation the whole old form is a completely new building it is the reconstruction of the old ball and city palace building it was a lengthy process and its still not finished and now work is also on the way outside the building on the monuments to freedom and this follows a lot of political debate on the project and we met up with one of its creators. The plan monument to freedom and unity it was designed by sebastiaan lets. The concept is a 50 meter moving bowl that visitors can access different enough people move to one side together to gently tips that way. The monument is meant to commemorate the peaceful revolution in the former east germany. India systems do you mention the idea is for people who gather on this monument to get a feeling for what happened in 1990. 9 for them to communicate move in one direction together. And use their weight to alter the position of the ball and create their own living image and so on gonski been because its a toy. The monument will be located near to such landmarks as the Brandenburg Gate the t. V. Tower. And berlin cathedral. They attract tourists from all around the world to what used to be east berlin. The reconstructed berlin palace will be an added attraction. If the work goes according to plan the monument to freedom and unity will stand in front of it by late 2021. He stink my verdict on this monument honors 1st all of the brave east german citizens who dared to take to the streets in 1909 and 90 and fight for democracy and freedom but we must not forget east germany was a totalitarian regime that came from and now a monument will honor them here in the heart of berlin. The site of the future monument is itself historically significant the original berlin palace and the national Kaiser Vilhelm monument one stood here in 1950 the east german leadership had both of them demolished. The old palace was replaced by the socalled palace of the republic the seat of the east German Parliament which is. On the side of the midnight in 70. 989. 00 the peaceful revolution led to the end of east germany and the reunification process. Later the east German Parliament building was demolished. In its place will be the new berlin palace and the monument. Motion also on the through the autumn i have to say that the place were at now is steeped in history of the palace of the republic stood here in the east Germany Foreign ministry and the state Council Building stood there so of course this place was very important for east germany as well. And 2013 members of the stuttgart Architectural Firm miller and partner completed a life size model. But political disagreements kept delaying the start of the actual construction the symbolic groundbreaking finally took place in may 2020. The foundation integrates the surviving base of the old national kaiser built a monument there by combining the past and present. A month. Looking at this model you see the steps here and the big platform which takes up almost the entire space that once surrounded the equestrian monument that stored here in the center. And whats really interesting is that now its the viewers will be standing at the center where at one time kaiser bill him stood its now the visitors will be standing because of the instant dusting gets to his one foot. Tapped if everyone plays their part the monument to freedom and unity will embody what its title suggests. Citizens in motion. The wall that used to divide east and west once stood here right beside the river you can still find remains of the old wall now known as east side gallery of course today it is no longer divides the city but attracts tourists from all over the world and even 30 years after german unity many germans refer to things east and west although they have so much in common and that is the theme of the hartford project by 2 local artists. 30 years out to reunification 30 people couples friends and Business Partners all from the former east and west germany are taking part in an art project. I got want to go to i know it had more without reunification we definitely want that it would have been very unlikely that. The project is one of many to mark the anniversary of reunification here to mark fat and meet our imports stop recording the heartbeats of 15 couples who wouldnt be together had reunification never happened. In the past it was important for us to find the Common Ground in all the different couples and for us it was the heartbeat the essence the core of human beings lets mention the part of you want to go on the couples coming today are all people who are affected by the fall of the wall or unification. One is always from the east and the other from the west would not have met otherwise you. Paused and said you know schuster our coworkers. Uses a digital stethoscope to record their heartbeats. Modified 1st a graph of the couples also part of the art project every pair has a story of their own no matter when they were born. A dear. Old fellow i wasnt even born so i didnt experience it directly. But of course you hear a few stories about it from your grandparents and your parents. But i dont make a big deal of it like. Most of the guys are and for tina headspace was still teenagers back in the 1990 s. The friends got to know each other over 20 years ago in berlin. The artists also document the couples hopes and dreams for the future. Its wrenching i wish we could come closer to one another. Starting now come together worldwide. Nose 1st i come from west berlin and its been oh and i come from dressed and does not know were completely honest with each other and not at all superficial lets go. You always hear about the know it all westerners who are always explaining things. And his boss you would never like that you always said look you can do things this way im in such a way i could totally accept it. As it was and if you werent doing it constantly but you never adopted a superior man or. Wife going shmeat edits a sound collage from the heartbeat recordings and adds as music. When the participants heartbeats come together it produces a very special kind of rhythm. This fund this is the exciting thing is this way it follows a very similar pattern for the couples after theyve been hit for a while their heart beats not even lock step so they waves that very similar. This is you have crossed off used to be in east germany take it to. Heights met their while dancing the tango and fall in love when im from the west and moved to rostock many years ago without reunification we never would have met at most any kind of. And since then weve been dancing together and are happy everything worked so well here and 30 years from now and were going to still be dancing. All say germans from the former east and west have grown much closer since reunification unfamiliarity of germans in ukraine. Here beside me you can see a way in on berlin where he was born and became famous here the pedestrian traffic light meant infect the east german 150 years ago the 1st east german traffic light moment where instilled in west berlin and the old ones removed they were among the few things from the former east germany to live on in our everyday lives and nowadays you can see that on pedestrian trussing throughout the city.
