Manja Behrens
Manja Behrens (12 April 1914 – 18 January 2003) was a German stage, film and television actress. She is best remembered as the mistress of ''Reichsleiter'' Martin Bormann during World War II. The actress moved to the Maxim Gorki Theater in 1967, where she was on stage for almost 25 years until reunification. Despite the ban on filming, which lasted until around 1980, she appeared sporadically in small film roles in DFF television productions. Since 1980, larger film roles followed in GDR television films as well as in West German television films. Along the way, she also took guest roles at the Burgtheater in Vienna, the Staatstheater in Bern and the Stadttheater in Ingolstadt. "She is one of the actresses who are essential to German theater," wrote Der Tagesspiegel on the occasion of her 85th birthday. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, she devoted herself to theater appearances as well as lecture tours, among other things. Selected filmography * ''Stronger Than Regulations' ...

Dresden
Dresden (, ; Upper Saxon: ''Dräsdn''; wen, label=Upper Sorbian, Drježdźany) is the capital city of the German state of Saxony and its second most populous city, after Leipzig. It is the 12th most populous city of Germany, the fourth largest by area (after Berlin, Hamburg and Cologne), and the third most populous city in the area of former East Germany, after Berlin and Leipzig.

Many boroughs west of the Elbe lie in the foreland of the Ore Mounta ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Berlin Wall
The Berlin Wall (german: Berliner Mauer, ) was a guarded concrete barrier that encircled West Berlin from 1961 to 1989, separating it from East Berlin and East Germany (GDR). Construction of the Berlin Wall was commenced by the government of the GDR on 13 August 1961. It included guard towers placed along large concrete walls, accompanied by a wide area (later known as the "death strip") that contained anti-vehicle trenches, beds of nails and other defenses. The Eastern Bloc portrayed the Wall as protecting its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the "will of the people" from building a socialist state in the GDR. The authorities officially referred to the Berlin Wall as the ''Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart'' (german: Antifaschistischer Schutzwall, ). The West Berlin city government sometimes referred to it as the "Wall of Shame", a term coined by mayor Willy Brandt in reference to the Wall's restriction on freedom of movement.

2003 Deaths
3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious or cultural significance in many societies. Evolution of the Arabic digit The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use. That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...
