Boomtown

I read the first time a play voluntarily! Sure, it´s called "Boomtown Braunschweig" - it was so much fun!
It´s about two typical, ole clerks who work for the city-marketing. To the team belongs a woman and an apparently mentally disabled guy.
In the end they all become a very successful, fresh team. They use the PTB´s help and we learn how time is "made".
Very good story. They have the Mi-Ma-Mumme-man and a Brunswick-hymn.

It was so funny, some of the marketing concepts have become true! We now really have a Mumme-mile like it was descibed, too great.

Only sad thing for me: They attached a glossary for people who are not born here but moved in later. And I had to find out that due to this town Hitler was able to become german, get the power and lead this horrible war.

See also Wikipedia on this article, further down at Naturalizing Adolf Hitler: "The City of Braunschweig unfairly bears the stigma of having been responsible for the former Austrian citizen – and since 1925, at his own instigation, stateless person – Adolf Hitler's getting fast-tracked by political scheming into a job on 25 February 1932 as Regierungsrat (low-rank government official) at the Braunschweig State Culture and Surveying Office, stationed as a staff member of the Braunschweig legation in Berlin, which had the effect of granting Hitler German citizenship. It was not, however, the city's fault that this "naturalization" was brought about, but rather the Free State's, in whose name this deed was done by the State Minister for the Interior and Education, namely NSDAP member Dietrich Klagges."

Ack! This feels bad! But then. If it wasn´t this town he would have used another Free State´s.

This town does good things, too!

The PTB is there for not only making the time for Germany:

"Worldwide unique accelerator facility

From fundamental research to clinical application - a new accelerator facility for dosimetry in radiation therapy will clearly expand the measurement capabilities of the PTB. Also the quality assurance of clinical dosimetry will profit therefrom. The accelerators required for this will be moved into the new Glocker Building on the premises of the PTB. The building, which is being erected by the state construction management, is structurally complete, allowing the topping-out ceremony to be celebrated on 15 February. It is expected that the facility will go into operation at the end of 2007."

Still. This Hitler-stuff sucks!
