        Plant oils

        Over 50 powerful helpers for pleasure and skin care

        by Ruth von Braunschweig

        The importance of vegetable oils for our diet is now well known. Also that they must be natural and carefully manufactured and should come if possible from biological cultivation, if they are to unfold their health-promoting effects, is today most humans well-known. But the fact that olive oil, coconut oil & Co. are also valuable helpers for skin care and can even be used in skin care is still doubted by some experts. Today an abundance of research work speaks for itself. Plant oils protect and care for the skin, can prevent diseases and alleviate discomfort. They work from the inside as well as from the outside, in the kitchen as well as in body care. Vegetable oil is good for our skin According to the latest scientific findings, it has been proven that the ingredients of vegetable oils are also helpful for our largest organ: the skin. Not only that the fat molecules have been "known" to the skin evolutionarily for millions of years and it can therefore metabolize them excellently. The skin can therefore utilize plant oils in its metabolism and absorb and use the ingredients.

        The Story of the Good King Alexander the Great

        Ein Ritterroman über Alexander den Großen

        by Angelica Rieger

        No figure in ancient history gave rise to so many mythical fantasies as Alexander the Great (356-323 BC). Soon after his mysterious death, legends about his adventurous life started to flourish with a rich production of codexes, the most valuable of which were beautifully illustrated by miniatures. The sumptuous manuscript that is covered in this volume contains a version of the story in prose of ‘the Good King Alexander’ – the ‘Ystoire du Bon Roi Alexandre’ in ancient French. It was acquired by the Hamilton Collection in 1882 and is currently kept in the Kupferstichkabinett of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin Preussischer Kulturbesitz, under the marking 78 C 1.

        Fire in the Elysium

        by Oliver Buslau

        The crime novel on the 250th birthday of the master composer When the young palace administrator Sebastian Reiser arrives in Vienna, the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven is preparing for the premiere of his ninth symphony. The whole city is eagerly awaiting the concert in the Kärntnertortheater. But the performance is controversial. Not only among conservative music enthusiasts, but also among banned fraternities. Reiser has the chance to play in the orchestra and gets caught in a dangerous web of intrigue and secret politics. It is one of the most successful pieces of music of all times, still omnipresent today. Marking the peak of classical music, Beethoven's 9th Symphony was already regarded as groundbreaking during the composer's lifetime, but it was also controversial from the very beginning. In the conservative Metternich era, it was considered by many to be too radical. Beethoven's revolutionary act of incorporating a choir into a symphony met with widespread incomprehension among traditionalists. If Mozart was the greatest pop star in music history, Beethoven was its greatest rock idol - maladjusted, driven, choleric and always in search of a new musical and social order. On the occasion of the 250th birthday of the composer, who was born in Bonn and moved more than 50 times during his life, music journalist, classical expert and crime writer Oliver Buslau dedicates a novel to the brilliant and exceptional composer, that centres on the secrets of the last completed symphony. The story about a spy, who actually does not want to be a spy and tries to fathom the riddle of Beethoven's deafness, revives the premiere of the composer's most famous work against the background of political unrest in Vienna during Metternich's time. The author skilfully links the social circumstances with a dramatic criminal case, always imbued with Beethoven's masterpiece and thirst for freedom.

        Owl place

        From the incredible life of Rudi Kleineich or search for happiness in a hard time

        by Harry Schmidt

        This excitingly written book takes place between winter 1945 and Christmas 1953 - with skilfully inserted flashbacks to the years 1919, 1923 and 1930. The owl village that gives the book its title is the Lindenhof estate workers' village in Vorpommern, a place without owls, without newspapers and without electricity. One of its inhabitants is the 25-year-old day laborer's son and "bee man" Rudi Kleineich, who is of military age, as it was then called, but suffers from the life-threatening hemophilia and yet has an unbridled will to live. This will is even increased when, in the turmoil of the time, he comes into possession of a voluminous encyclopedia from 1886. From it he learns that he does not necessarily have to die as early as his uncle, from whom he copied beekeeping. The actual action begins a few days before the Russian invasion, which is expected with great fear and uncertainty, and which is supposed to be just outside the village. When the Red Army actually arrives, many terrible things happen in Owl Village, too, with which the soldiers with the red star take revenge on their German enemies - especially on their wives, almost no matter how old or young they are. In this Vorpommerschen place, too, Harry Schmidt, in reference to the hard historical facts, lets a real rape frenzy of several days happen. Law and order seem to have capitulated to the violence of the war and even officers no longer know either decency or humanity. But then suddenly it is over. As if someone had flipped a switch in the occupying forces, the intoxication is ended, and where rape and murder could have been committed with impunity, the perpetrators from their own ranks are now threatened with drastic punishment - including summary executions. The new order is taking hold. But what will the future bring to the little people of Lindenhof? And does Rudi's tender love for Christel, the refugee girl, have a chance?

        Appartement 102 - Omarska

        Ein Zeitzeugnis

        by Jadranka Cigelj

        Vergewaltigung als Waffe im Krieg! Jadranka Cigelj, bosnische Kroatin, Rechtsanwältin, Politikerin und Menschenrechtsaktivistin, wurde am 14. Juni 1992 zwei Monate im Konzentrationslager Omarska eingekerkert, dem berüchtigten von Serben errichteten Lager im bosnischen Krieg. Der Raum im KZ Omarska, in dem sie mit siebzehn weiteren Frauen gefangen gehalten und gefoltert wurde, war „Appartement 102“. Schonungslos offen schildert sie das tägliche Überleben in einer entmenschlichten Wirklichkeit, in der Folter, Vergewaltigung und das Töten mit Messern und Fäusten zum Alltag gehörten, ausgeführt von Menschen, die sie bis dahin als Nachbarn, Kollegen und Freunde kannte. Ungefähr 3000 Männer, meist bosnische Muslime, wurden in Omarska ermordet, dessen Kommandant, Željko Mejakić, wegen Kriegsverbrechen vor dem Tribunal in Den Haag angeklagt ist. Frau Cigelj war eine von 37 gefangenen Frauen in Omarska, fünf von ihnen wurden getötet. Sie lebt heute in Zagreb und ist Zeugin der Anklage in diesem Prozess. Zeitzeuginnen

        Die Mondnarren - Ein Weltraummärchen

        by Hagen Röhrig

        Um die beiden Planeten Montena und Pantena zog ein Mond friedlich seine Bahn. Es war ein wunderschöner, kugelrunder Mond, der ein halbes Jahr lang erst um Pantena schwebte und dann weiter nach Montena gondelte, um dort für das nächste halbe Jahr groß und hell am Nachthimmel zu stehen und alles in ein silbriges Licht zu tauchen. War das jedes mal eine Freude, wenn eines Abends der Mond in seiner ganzen Pracht am Himmel stand! Auf Pantena und Montena fieberten die Leute schon Wochen vorher diesem Ereignis entgegen, und wenn es dann soweit war, feierten alle ein rauschendes Fest, das mehr als einen Monat dauerte und das auf beiden Planeten das Mondfest genannt wurde. Ja, und manchmal besuchten sich die Planetenbewohner sogar gegenseitig zum Fest, weil das Feiern doch so viel Spaß machte. Aber eines Tages wurde alles ganz anders. Der König von Pantena nahm den Mond gefangen und band ihn in seinem Palastgarten fest, damit er das Mondfest länger feiern konnte. Die Freundschaft zwischen den Leuten von Pantena und Montena drohte zu zerbrechen. Da hatten die Hofnarren der beiden Planetenkönige eine Idee ...

        1989 Fall of the Berlin Wall - Coincidence or Planning? /1989 Mauerfall Berlin - Zufall oder Planung?

        by Michael Wolski

        Classification in History   The fall of the Wall in 1989 is a historical example of the end of the relationship between hegemon and vassal. It shows how the hegemon silently disposed of his now unloved child. It is a story of the betrayal of the most loyal political friends and a common ideology.   East Germany was occupied by the Soviet Army on May 8, 1945 at the end of World War II in Europe and then, according to the decisions of the Allies, the Soviet-occupied zone in Germany was dominated by the Soviet Union. The German Democratic Republic (GDR) was founded in this zone in 1949, when the Soviet Union under Stalin was still convinced of the victory of communism in the world. At the same time, the Federal Republic of Germany was founded in the Western zones.   After only ten years it became clear that the socialist (Soviet) system in the GDR - a Western European, highly industrialized country - was not working. People left their country across the open sector border in Berlin.   For this reason, the East German Communists had to build the Berlin Wall in 1961 on the orders of the Soviet Union, hermetically sealing East Germany (and Eastern Europe) from the West. According to Allied regulations, Berlin was a jointly administered city, with one zone of each of the 4 Allies. Until 1990, West Berlin was therefore a territory of the Western Allies USA, United Kingdom and France. Westberlin  became a capitalist island in the GDR.   Ultimately, this isolation led to the decline of the entire Eastern Bloc. Only 25 years later, when Gorbachev came to power (1985), the Soviet Union decided in secret to separate from its Eastern European vassal states and introduce a market economy. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, which was planned and carried out top secretly, was the opening of the clamp that had held the socialist countries together.   One year later (on October 3, 1990), German unity was achieved and again one year later - in late 1991 - the Soviet Union disintegrated into 15 states and with it the socialist camp in Europe. This disintegration was due to a boomerang of history - the German-Soviet treaties together with secret protocols of 1939, which unexpectedly unfolded their destructive potential in 1989.   Thus, 50 years after the Hitler-Stalin Pact and the German-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, both destroyed the Soviet Union as collateral damage of the opening of the Berlin Wall.   The Book   In this book, the course of events of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 is portrayed differently than in current contemporary historiography.   I claim on the basis of evidence and facts that the Soviet Union was responsible for the fall of the Wall. In a covert action, high-ranking East German KGB agents in the army, Stasi and mass-media took over command on the evening of November 9, 1989. At the same time, a meeting of the Central Committee of the SED was "randomly" extended by almost 3 hours, isolating over 250 high-ranking party and state officials from the outside world. Thus the state power was unable to act in the decisive hours of the fall of the Wall.   I describe the fall of the Wall as an East German contemporary witness, working from 1986-1990 in the liaison office of a Dow Jones listed US corporation in East Berlin (GDR).    While I had noticed events in East Berlin since 1986 that could indicate that unofficial KGB employees were being sought by Stasi in the International Trade Center (IHZ), this assumption became certain in 1994. The report on the evaluation of Stasi documents in the Bundestag confirmed my assumptions.   In June 2020 the last GDR Minister of the Interior of the first freely elected government (9 April 1990 – 2 October 1990) gave this number for the first time since 1990: In 1989/90 there were about 50,000 people in the GDR working for KGB (and GRU). Thus my view that the Soviet Union planned and realized the fall of the Wall was confirmed after more than 30 years.   The official German narrative (which is currently being retold worldwide) is based on the fall of the Wall by civil rights activists. They convinced the border officers to open the wall. However, no details are given about the process "behind the scenes". It must be remembered that as late as October 1989, the Politburo was still discussing the use of tanks against demonstrators in Leipzig (who demanded free passage out of the GDR). So why the change of mind within 4 weeks?   More information about my alternative view of the fall of the Wall can be found here (in German, English, Russian, Chinese): https://www.1989mauerfall.berlin/expose-leseprobe.html The book reads like a thriller.
