The question, however, remains as to what extent this report- ed scepticism truly reflects people’s opinions and feelings about Europe. We all consider it normal to cross borders within Europe, often while using the same money, as well as to take part in exchange programmes, invest in enterprises across Europe and appeal to European institutions if national regulations, for example, do not meet our expectations.

As the German Enlightenment flourishes in Weimar, vibrant Caroline von Beulwitz (Hannah Herszsprung) finds herself in an unhappy marriage to provide for her mother and shy younger sister Charlotte von Lengefeld (Henriette Confurius). When both sisters fall for outspoken writer Friedrich Schiller (Florian Stetter), their desire ignites a journey of shared passion and creativity. Charlotte and Schiller marry so that the lovers may pursue their ménage- à-trois under the guise of convention, but as Caroline reveals herself to be a talented author in her own right, the trio's fragile equilibrium is threatened and the sisters’ once unbreakable bond is irrevocably changed.

  • Projekt Lebendige Luppe: Die Vielfalt Des Auwalds Bewahren
    Projekt Lebendige Luppe: Die Vielfalt des Auwalds bewahren Leipzigs Geschichte ist eng mit der Geschichte der großen Gewässer der Region verbunden: Weiße Elster, Parthe und Pleiße sind maßgeblich dafür verantwortlich, dass sich Leipzig zu einer pulsierenden und wirtschaftsstarken Stadt entwickelte. Denn einst waren Wasserwege ein Schlüssel zu Mobilität, Möglichkeit zu Transport und Warenaustausch. Das Umland der Flüsse war fruchtbar und für Ackerbau und Landwirtschaft bestens geeignet. Heute spielen diese Faktoren nur noch eine untergeordnete Rolle, doch attraktiv macht die Flussaue die Messestadt und dessen Umland noch immer: Das auentypische Mosaik aus Wald-, Wiesen- und Wasserflächen verknüpft die wachsende Großstadt mit Naturerleben fast vor der Haustür. Die Auenlandschaft ist bedroht Doch zahlreiche wasserbauliche Maßnahmen haben zu einer stetigen Austrocknung des Auwalds geführt. Besonders einschneidend war der Bau der Neuen Luppe in den 1930er- bis 1950er-Jahren. Der Kanal trennt den nordwestlichen Auwald von seiner wichtigen Wasserversorgung ab und entzieht der Umgebung durch seine tiefe Gewässersohle zusätzlich Grundwasser. Doch zeigen Hohlformen überall in den hiesigen Auwäldern noch den Verlauf alter, trockener Flussläufe. Das Projekt Lebendige Luppe möchte solche Relikte verbinden, wieder mit Wasser versorgen und eine wichtige Lebensader in der Aue wiederherstellen, um die große Struktur-, Lebensraum- und Artenvielfalt der Auenlandschaft zu erhalten. Umgesetzt wird das Projekt seit 2012 durch die Städte Leipzig und Schkeuditz, die Universität Leipzig, das Helmholtz-Zentrum für Umweltforschung (UFZ) und den NABU Sachsen. Den Wert der Aue bewusst machen Ein wichtiger Projektbaustein ist die Öffentlichkeits- und Umweltbildungsarbeit. Seit Mai 2013 erarbeiten Projektmitarbeiterinnen im Kontaktbüro Lebendige Luppe in Gohlis (Coppistraße neben Nr. 69) Broschüren, Unterrichtsmaterialien und Ausstellungsmedien zu den Themen Auwald, Leipziger Gewässerknoten und Projektfortschritt, bieten außerdem Infoveranstaltungen und Exkursionen an.

These research initiatives provide the research community with the practical four-element state-of-the-art method for citizen science. For the preparation-, measurements-, data analysis-, and scientific support-elements that collectively present the novel knowledge transfer method, the Luft-Leipzig project results are presented. This research contributes to science by formulating a novel method for SLCP mitigation projects that employ citizen scientists. The Luft-Leipzig project results are presented to validate the four-element state-of-the-art method. The method is recommended for knowledge transfer purposes beyond the scope of mitigating short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) and improving air quality.
