dot com. football made in germany. tells us storing stories. it makes us. cry. and smile. too good a chance. to motions to. go. to see every weekend on d w. the new year is boston approaching a welcome to your max and to our countdown of the top twenty five reports of the

year here are three an autopsy five. hands on bonnie dixon at the top competition from britain. pedal power presenting the world slowest course. as a good samaritan meets a man from croatia and his bed friend. falling into fifth place in the autopsy reports ranking with an event that is synonymous with gemini but i knew october fest one of the first things visitors do when they get to the festival is get a bear of course there's something that i'm a family sets up the f.s.b. a booth the type of s. one hundred and fifty years ago today they run one of the events launches bit heads and that is where the first keg is tapped every year for the bestie.

well six thousand revelers partying hard to. believe they. were managing this a little bit to show humble family has been providing a very in special days brass on pop music and cheering crowds for five generations . he couldn't i make him forget that kansan wire is for a whole day and a night by spending a funny name head for an innkeeper it's something very special to have satisfied customer service so if we had to guess it's. the continuity comes from the family never have been taking themselves too seriously while demanding a lot of themselves and is that down through the generations and i think it makes a difference and knowing the fourth measure has showed nama but it took a while for me to learn to do it right. if this offer this to. the family

a success story at october fest began with the first mchale shocking hommel in eight hundred sixty seven for their one hundred fiftieth jubilee the family history was chronicled in a commemorative book it runs to two hundred fifty pages. i would be used to the idea of the october test above all of us and i always go to schottenheimer enough history to see it and it was just so incredible to go into the story and such stand on architect septa sign to shop in hamilton since the eighteen hundreds they used electricity early on among the odd jobbers screwing in light bulbs was a young albert einstein. munich's october fest museum has staged an exhibition in honor of the family's jubilee. we tell every visitor who takes a tour with us a little something about the song. in addition to this exhibition just because the tapping ceremony was invented here. to museum shows old film clips of the second

mchale shot in hobble talking munich's mayor into tapping the first kagan his tent in one nine hundred fifty. that this line admit to his friends with the mayor of munich at the time thomas verma who was riding in the carriage with my grandfather that makes one man didn't care and she said you know why don't you tap the first cake. now at that time tapping u.k. it was actually beneath the dignity of a man but he was a social democrat and a man of the people so he stood there and tapped it on soft. and ever since the mayor has tapped the first cake to mark the official start of october fest a ten day long party. but what is it that makes october fest so special. so have a great is

a crazy year yet it's only made back here i think that better t'ain't men's back then yeah i mean they are right ahead of. the october fest moves with the times in the one nine hundred eighty s. the bands here started playing other music besides traditional very unfold. as you know is it to stay right on top of the times and simultaneously keep the traditions but soon to be developed or payment systems for patrons so they can pay over their cell phones because nowadays everybody has their cell phone along and it's on. but despite the changes october fest is very much about traditions and the shop and how my family plays an important role. keeping those traditions along.

the. way. we turn now to a young artist who's keeping the art of poetry alive this is a form of skill dates back to the fifth century b.c. and it's still a traditional technique used in indian theatre today british pop it may cut on to be dicks and developed a new technique to give the puppets more agility and often layering that with some great characters he's made quite a name for himself online. don't worry this dinosaur might look dangerous but it's perfectly harmless. and some clever hand movements bring these featherweight creature to life. it's one of many finger puppets made by barnaby dixon the young man from bridgewater in southwestern england makes his puppets by hand. deborah cheek the

duck was his first creation. to me that the puppets i'd seen before and more traditional puppets didn't really have the same kind of fluidity and gravity as you were able to attain with stop motion so the result of stop motion was kind of my starting point and i just think i was thinking how can i make a live action puppets have the same sort of realism as stop motion character. the special thing about fun of these prophets is that though they are built around he's handsome they aren't glove puppets. he's latest character is manu. barnaby you can perform intricate movements that look amazingly lifelike. one of the often spends time in his workshop perfect thing his puppets the joints are made of metal the bodies are made of a combination of resin silicon and plastic. devise

all his materials online. one of the main challenges in building these puppets is you've got kind of two starting points one that is the kind of ideal puppet they want to create but then you also have to accommodate your own hands and the asymmetry in the way that they move in a way that you wouldn't kind of imagine sometimes. so i think. trying to marry those two things and finding something that works in terms of proportion but also in terms of movement and also in terms of. tricky. barnaby dixon has his puppets perform every day situations on. plays the lead role. he posts a new video every week the british seaside to feel the breeze rush through my

feathers software sound of joy of joys and lest we forget the proud of the waves under a bold. i'd like to go home now please. however interesting. technical skill the show in the creation. of the puppet is what makes. them to some degree. also shows his puppets in local pubs. he likes keeping in close contact with his friends and only virtually. i think is nice to show the show the puppets to the public because you get a sense of the reception for three you tube comments and through you know people liking it and things like. you know people's faces when they see and

when i see people's reactions and it's a positive one. in the flesh you know something different. that i value. the main attraction tonight is a special performance glows in the dark and dixon's hands become almost invisible riveting stuff for the audience. this. is a. place where you look at your fingertips it's like a movie by itself and you kind of forget about. and you just you just you just focus on this this puppet i just couldn't believe how much i lost myself. in the character of the piece with the birds you feel like it's moving in a way that all animal would move in with the dinosaur it's obviously you know no one seen the dinosaur but i feel like that's how it. be working on new characters for now manu is enjoying his time in the limelight.

now someone else who spent a lot of time in the workshop is how does. he know the welds slowest porsche now the words slow and porsche don't usually go together i know bought having the time to be slow these days is more of a luxury than growing fast for this luxury sports speed is not the name of the game . i have porsche nine one one for many a dream on wheels the embodiment of power and speed but when the traffic light changes in austria even cyclists overtake this porsche. that's because this one hundred fifty kilos sports car is really a bicycle how does long into the austrian who built it powers it using his legs.

for it's not going to continental mom or of course it's pleasant when you can be very slow it's a special luxury. i think that's a bigger luxury than if you always have to be very fast. everyone wants to be fast and everyone is always about to be slow that's the real luxury. underneath its golden surface the materials used to build the car are quite mundane . the artist created his mobile sculpture from plastic tubing and duct tape. that's how the porsche named founding and g t three r.s. came to be an artwork that questions the cult of cars while making a social and ecological statement.

europe's museums already how is hannah slung a car art for example the lentils art museum for contemporary and modern art in linz. how does one aid us fabien and has taken laps around the porsche factory and received an invitation to frankfurt international motor show and appeared on the british t.v. show top gear that happened after hundreds. made a video to promote his car artwork which is racked up more than three million hits on the internet. to explore not every year spoiler holds down the rear axle for traction when you exceed five kilometers an hour. the oversized air intakes in the front spoiler keep the driver and passenger from overheating and perspiring too much to see the seats are adjustable and come from the we come in by technology their form prevents wear and tear on the inside of the drivers. to keep the price

down to fatten and doesn't tire early without an engine. driven by muscle power fountain and has the right of way downtown in austrian cities and people everywhere agree on like normal cars his mobile work of art is also allowed him to destry in zones. to disentangle. thomas lung has created an entirely new form of mobility he even occasionally uses fatty nine hundred self in daily life. your food you feel a lot better than a normal porsche because you don't produce as much toxic emissions. and i haven't calculated precisely how much c o two a human body emits but it's certainly less than an internal combustion engine.

a human being is an engine to an engine with a lifetime guarantee. the shelf means you hold. a. car designer fairy porsche once said the last car ever to be built will be a sports car he could be right because the fatty g t three r us will still be rolling along with other cars have long run out of gas. oh and down to our last hero holes in our countdown unfolding in third place is a heartwarming tale from croatia it's all about an injured stork and a man who's taking care of him for the last twenty four years after the pension his wife passed on several years ago madalena the stork is his top priority and taking care of his feathered friend is his way of giving something back to the well. ben and the stork are

a famous couple in croatia. book which has been taking care of the injured stork for the past twenty four years molina has a broken wing and can no longer fly so the man and his bird often travel by car when the other stork set off for africa in the fall molina stays behind without her fellow storks life can be dull and lonely so step on tries to get malina a normal life as far as is possible. there are your friends you have friends look. and. will research something i'm able to give back to our planet you can't always just kill and destroy we have to help nature to stalk so the only birds that like to live near people.

twenty four years ago step on volcanic found she had been injured by gunfire he rescued her but she's never fully recovered so he takes care of her he even built a nest for her on the roof and a ramp so she can reach it. every spring my name is made sickly petain joins them the two birds have been together for thirteen years and have raised fifty four. sprain this year saw another full story six hatch. can't fly or see crude so step on bocage takes on her tasks and provides food for her and her chicks. it's assured we feed the little birds. already fragile. like a fish would be legal because every little. girl

or a. i've grown so fond of her that i will continue to gather food for her and her babies as long as i'm physically able to yes you are a moron zombie and. even if it rains or hales step on vokey drives fifty kilometers twice a day to the region's canals and ponds to catch lunch and dinner for money. it's a challenge because she'll only eat life fish of a certain size. three and. more of it so it was a walk in life you have to sacrifice yourself for someone i happened to find this bird and i brought it here and helped it so how could i abandon her now after twenty four years surely it's not going to happen no way. they will stop short of all of your old you are. well in order to go what

if he doesn't catch enough fish he feeds the storks with lamey he spends most of his modest pension on the birds if he doesn't receive small donations from animal lovers he would have to go hungry himself. well right up at the. baton mean a lot to me my wife died eight years ago so these two are my family now so i mean everything to me. on this research. tell you suddenly as i'd spend my last cent on the effort i will always make sure they are doing well. or a lot of your karma. when clip it and sets off for africa at the end of the summer molina and remain behind and hope to see him again next year. months of close cross species togetherness follow. step on not only feeds the stork he also frees as legs of encrusted dead skin other. was he would crack apart and get

inflamed. by lena patiently allows him to work on her legs a sign of trust. the two in their day with a ritual watching films about storks on television. the crazy heroine is attacking the stork. look your stocks have flown off to africa to see the world this was a record. and so the two of them keep each other company and prove to the world not only dogs can be man's best friend. what a lovely story the report that had over twelve point six million views on facebook

this year though was one that made people laugh for the first time ever passengers on a german train were treated to a multi stage theatre production over thousand local them volunteers performs different short sketches along a thirty kilometer stretch as each train went by it was surprising and unusual entertainment for the past and this is love the story so much that it came in first place in our top twenty five reports of twenty seventeen. hunted up being chased by his lookout post. a family who suddenly gets water. and a truck bomb phrase in a field the famous call from the phone with east germany trying to keep up with a modern v.w. all parts of a not project stage the people on passing trains local residents pulled out all the stops to keep the passengers on the thirty kilometer train ride between non-book

and nina entertain. those months when what's so good not to just stare at your phone all the time but to look outside the countryside here is amazing and of course the individual pieces of drama that are on show a quite unique downs and show and spits it puts you in a good mood. a few kilometers further on resident thought still preparing their props disguised as bush if they take up their positions this stage is the peeled their performance will last just a few seconds. keeping their audience guessing is a key idea in the performances where the passengers sometimes wonder what's real and what staged this tree seems to be on fire then people from the stone age stop

me appear on the scene. of. a shock surprises a couple of fishing. the whole thing was the brainchild of un himself and young koch who for now media artists and professors for experimental television if. it was. fifteen years ago you couldn't have imagined doing and each search online and scanning an average of fifteen thousand pictures a day as thumbnails that has an effect on you in a train journey is similar it's like a parallel to modern media you pass by all these things really fast you can't look at them properly so it's like looking over thumbnail pictures or by. a lot of assumptions of the model by. the trains passed through nine stations along the route here too there was plenty of action. in non-board

a quiet santa passengers. then rocco began his race against the train they were actually twenty five runners all wearing identical outfits giving the impression that one man was out running out peddling the machine . for the moment it was a chance to have some fun and for at least one resident it was a way of getting to know her new neighbors. it just seemed like something fun to do as a group and then also i'm really interested in getting more involved in the culture so for me as a foreigner it was really exciting. the train of course had no chance against the racing roll call. all together the out just before the twenty four train loads of passengers over two days.

for the moving bush's that meant running across the field twice an hour. if you're country. we didn't know each other beforehand it's really interesting but you get to know nice people and have some fun. and i think it's all part of the project to do things together with other people and i'm welcome to. performances for passing trains on the projects that inspired local residents and certainly entertained the passengers the few now that we are top twenty five countdown have come to an end ready for a new year stories in twenty eight i welcome all of the team here at your rock i wish you all a very happy new year take care of the sounds and all the best and. next
