Anarchy reigns in Iraq, with locals and allied soldiers dying almost daily in attacks. The EU's eastward expansion enlarges the community to 25 states - whether Turkey should also be part of it is a matter of urgency. Horst Köhler becomes the new German President - and Rudi Völler resigns as national coach after a disgraceful European Championship. One name becomes the symbol of social reforms - Hartz IV - and the major parties lose many voters. Otto "Rehakles" Greek becomes European champion - and the youth of the world meets in Athens - but is overshadowed by doping scandals. Fairytale wedding in the royal houses of Denmark and Spain - and the Netherlands mourn Queen Juliana. All this and more in the 2004 album.
A long pontificate comes to an end - John Paul II dies. His successor Benedict XVI. inspires the church youth of the world in Cologne. Bomb attacks in London, terror reaches Europe - and the wave of violence in Iraq continues. More hurricanes than ever before bring suffering, death and devastation - and the tsunami catastrophe in Southeast Asia claims hundreds of thousands of lives. The EU constitution fails - and the dispute over Turkey's accession threatens to divide the community. 60 years after the end of the war, a German chancellor stands in the middle of the ranks of the victors - and the Holocaust Memorial is opened in Berlin.

Charles and Camilla are finally allowed to marry - and with Max Schmeling, a great sportsman leaves.

What was it that occupied, impressed and affected him the most? "Between all the suffering this year, the images of the rescue of the miners in Chile have done so infinitely well. And then there is the song 'Born to live'. That's what everything is about, even if we sometimes forget it," says Theveßen.
The tsunami in Japan not only destroys Fukushima, and the German government decides to phase out nuclear power.

Winfried Kretschmann becomes the first green prime minister, and the Pirate Party moves into a state parliament for the first time. In London, the dream wedding of the heir apparent enchants the masses, and Loriot leaves the stage for good. Defense Minister zu Guttenberg has to relinquish all offices, and the Pope visits an East German state for the first time. All this and more in the 2011 album.
