Federal President
Highest Office in the State
The Federal President holds the highest office in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Quote Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier:
“Mr. President, dear competitors, Ladies and Gentlemen, …“
The current acting president, Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier, was elected by the great majority of 931 members of the Federal Assembly on February 12, 2017.
Quote Dr. Norbert Lammert:
“And for Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier 931 votes…“
He has no government controlling function in the political system of the Federal Republic of Germany. He is meant to represent, not to govern, thus effectively promoting and communicating Germany’s political interests and political actions in the world .
Quote Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier:
“I thank the members of this Federal Assembly from my heart for the encouragement with which they have sent me on the way to the highest office of the state today. Their decision fills me with deep joy and my high regard for this office will remain undiminished.“

Computer Games
This film covers the topic of computer games in a variety of ways and from many different angles. Apart from the fascina- tion of computer games for users, the historical development as well as the production of computer games are described. The established genres are introduced, the guidelines of the German BPjM are explained. In light of recent public discussions, a neutral overview of the pros and cons of playing computer games is given, and different kinds of player behaviour are outlined. In this film, the pupils will recognise many aspects of their favourite pastime that encourage an independent, constructive use of this medium and reinforce their media competency. The film and teaching material are very closely related to the real-life situation.
