Lower Saxony
The Federal States of Germany
Between the North Sea and the Harz, Ems and Elbe, stretches one of Germany’s federal states in which, according to legend, once the Pied Piper of Hamelin, Till Eulenspiegel and the lying Baron Munchhausen did their mischief.
Here, things were invented which others took credit for later. The inventive genius of the people of Lower Saxony became the foundation of a successful, innovative federal state.
With the North Sea and the lower course of the Elbe, Lower Saxony has a natural boundary in the north. In the southeast, it is bordered by the Harz. A major part of the state lies in the North German Plain.
The rivers of Aller, Weser, Ems and Elbe shape Lower Saxony. The highest mountain is the Wurmberg in the Harz at 971 metres.

Ceramic
Ceramics are indispensable in our everyday lives. We eat from ceramic plates, drink from ceramic cups, use tiled ceramic bathrooms. But how is ceramic manufactured? The film reveals the secrets of this fascinating material! We get to know more about the beginnings of ceramic in the Old World of Egypt and Mesopotamia, about Greece, China and Rome. We gain interesting insights into the valuable earthenware and are also shown the exquisite further development of the "white gold". Today this versatile material is irreplaceable in industry, too. Whether in space or as an easily compatible substitute in medicine, ceramic is applied in many places.
