Results in Germany 6. The UK approach AQUALITY Trading & Consulting Ltd. www.aqua-lity.co.uk The beginning of a significant SuDS driver in Germany In Germany sewage which is discharged into a communal sewage system is being separated into: - Waste water - Surface water from properties - Surface water from public roads/highways The individual states in Germany are responsible for the disposal of sewage. This responsibility is passed on to the community (§ 56 Abs. 1 des Wasserhaushaltsgesetzes i.V.m. den jeweiligen Landesgesetzen) The property owner is responsible for the cost of the sewage disposal. In the past the councils had to charge the property owners for the incurred cost based on the “modified fresh water measurement” = Mains cold water intake measured via water meter. In early 2000 the BUND (federation for environment and nature conversation) supported individual court cases and led to nationwide ruling against the modified fresh water measurement. AQUALITY Trading & Consulting Ltd. www.aqua-lity.co.uk Sewage charges based on mains water consumption Two methods: a) Charges according to “modified fresh water measurement” Charges are determined by use of mains water. b) Split sewerage charges Separation of sewage disposal charges from surface water charges. - Sewage disposal determined by mains water usage - Surface water charge determined by surface area connected to surface water drain The modified fresh water measurement assumes a “homogenous settlement structure” meaning ratio between covered/impermeable area and the mains water quantity of the area is fairly constant. -

The Long-Standing Demographic East-West-Divide in Germany Sebastian Klüsener and Joshua R. Goldstein Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research 1 Abstract Over the last 20 years, a large number of studies have looked at the demographic differences between the previously divided eastern and western parts of Germany. The two regions have converged with respect to mortality and overall fertility levels. But in family formation behaviour differences remain. Non-marital births are the norm in eastern Germany, while they are still the exception in western Germany. Various explanations for these differences have been offered, with the most persuasive linking policy and socio-economic conditions in eastern and western Germany after 1945 with the persistence of local patterns. Here we show that the non-marital fertility divide pre- dates the 1945-division of Germany. Indeed, already in the late 19th century, the areas of eastern Germany that made up the German Democratic Republic had, on average, roughly twice the non-marital fertility level of western Germany. -
A Comparison of the Medieval German Settlement of Prussia and Transylvania
Issue 4 2014 Sword, Cross, and Plow vs. Pickaxe and Coin: A Comparison of the Medieval German Settlement of Prussia and Transylvania GEORGE R. STEVENS CLEMSON UNIVERSITY The German medieval settlement of Eastern Europe known as the Ostsiedlung was carried out by Germans and the Teutonic Order in both Hungary and Transylvania, but with vastly different results. Of the regions settled during the Ostsiedlung, Transylvania offered colonists some of the strongest incentives to settle there; in addition to an agreeable climate and fertile soil, those who settled in Transylvania also stood to enjoy generous expansions of legal and economic freedoms far beyond the rights they held in their homelands. Yet the Ostsiedlung in Transylvania was arguably a failure compared to the success of the movement in Prussia. Much of this contrast can be explained by comparing the settlement process in each region, conducted largely by peaceful means in Transylvania but by the sword and cross in Prussia. Conquest and conversion supported by secular and ecclesiastical authorities allowed Germans to dominate Prussia and cement the primacy of German language and culture there. By contrast, peaceful settlement left Transylvania’s large indigenous populations intact and independent. This cultural plurality, along with the long journey required to reach Transylvania and inconsistent support for settlement there, ensured German settlers in Transylvania never became more than a minority population. The medieval settlement of Prussia and Transylvania, from here on referred to by its German name, Ostsiedlung, was carried out by Germans and the Teutonic Order in both regions, but to vastly different ends. The German settlement of Transylvania was mostly peaceful, with the majority of settlers being miners, merchants, and peasants. -

Assessment of Natural Groundwater Concentrations of Hydrogeological Structures in Germany
Assessment of Natural Groundwater Concentrations of Hydrogeological Structures in Germany Voigt, H.-J.1, Hannappel S.2, Kunkel, R.3, Wendland, F.3 1 Brandenburgische Technische Universität Cottbus, Chair of Environmental Geology, 03046 Cottbus, Germany 2HYDOR Consult GmbH, 13507 Berlin, Germany 3Research Centre Jülich, Systems Analysis and Technology Evaluation, 52425 Jülich, Germany 1. Introduction On 23 October 2000, the European Parliament and the Council adopted the Water Framework Directive (Directive 2000/60/EC – WFD), which constitutes the basic legislation for management and protection of the aquatic environment in Europe. An “Expert Advisory Forum on Groundwater based on Article 17 of the WFD” (EAF) was established to propose measures of groundwater control and protection. These measures should be designed to achieve the objective of good groundwater chemical status in accordance with Article 4(1)(b) of the WFD. On their session in October 2002 EAF found that “the option to set out a list of quality standards that would be uniformly applied to all groundwater bodies throughout Europe in relation to the definition of good chemical status was withdrawn, owing to the natural variability of groundwater chemical composition and the lack of present monitoring data and knowledge”. But the EAF recommends that the member states characterise the good (natural) chemical status of groundwater bodies (hydrogeological structures) in their respective countries independently. 2. Data basis of hydrogeological information in Germany According to the Expert Advisory Forum on Groundwater (EAF), the data bases for regional hydrogeological information are on very different levels, not only in various countries of Europe but also within Germany. -

The Leipziger Jugendinstitut (Leipzig Institute of Youth) registered a clear individualization amongst young people of the 1980s – even before 1989. Studies of new employment after 1989 supported the postulate of a similar trend in the entire population of Germany. However, East Germany is also described as a static body, a society on hold without any value shifts. These conflicting research findings are confirmed by everyday experience. The euphoria of unification was buoyed initially by the idea of a joint culture and tradition in East and West.
