She joined an experimental animation studio, the Berliner Institut für Kulturforschung, where she met avant-gardists including Bertolt Brecht and her future husband Carl Koch There another important aspect of her career was settled Another peer who combined experimental art and film work said of her that while her films were based on fairytales and modelled after ancient techniques she “belonged to the avant-garde as far as independent production and courage were concerned” and over the glass plate some transparent paper …” Inspiring … watch a clip from The Adventures of Prince Achmed here.Reiniger may have continued making shorts had invested in film stock during the shaky years of Weimar hyperinflation encouraging her to try her hand at the broader canvas of a feature film Reiniger responded with The Adventures of Prince Achmed founded a studio called Primrose Productions which reinvigorated her career for another decade Watch the Primrose Productions version of The Star of Bethlehem here.In the 1960s, Reiniger stopped working and lived quietly in London, but by the 70s her work was being revived and she toured the world talking about her career. In 1979 she made the gorgeous The Rose and the Ring, from a Thackeray story, before dying in 1981, back home in Germany. Read moreReiniger decribed herself as a “primitive caveman artist” one that was mimicked by several contemporary artists in both commercial and more refined areas (so many early German advertisements use her cut-out method) As soon as you think that you have spotted a join another transformation occurs and the picture has been reformed again The cut-outs are often backed with jewel-like colours By conjuring fantastic worlds out of paper and light Reiniger’s films reach us on a deeply emotional level too: we seem to see imagination at work as when a story is improvised or embellished from memory at a bedside A fitting tribute … Lotte Reiniger’s Google doodle. Today’s Google doodle commemorating Reiniger’s work shows her inside one of her films moving from her desk through a succession of fairytale scenarios surrounded by the fruit of her imagination turning up the heating will mean bringing the sun into your home via district heating A huge solar thermal energy plant has been built just outside the city which will produce emission-free solar heat for the local heating network “made in Swabia” by the company Ritter Energie will cover an area of around three and a half football pitches The facility on the Baltic Sea coast was ceremonially opened on 15 September 2022 and is the largest of its kind in Germany turning up the heating will soon mean bringing the sun into your home via district heating A huge solar thermal energy plant is being built just outside the city When the plant on the Baltic coast goes into operation in 2022 it will be the largest of its kind in Germany This is reason enough for the SME from Dettenhausen near Stuttgart to invest heavily in its production technology With a new bending machine from the Cologne-based manufacturer Schwarze-Robitec the company wants to further develop its collectors so that they can be installed more quickly many thousands of collectors are installed Installation costs are of course a major factor here,” says Ritter More speed and less effort during installation mean improved cost-effectiveness making solar thermal energy even more interesting to district heating suppliers with its bright sunshine-yellow painted metal surfaces is also an eye-catcher in the expansive factory halls of Ritter Energie It produces the “register” component in the collectors – a narrow meandering steel tube system through which water flows within the collector The water absorbs the heat from the sun and conveys it to the heating grid register production has been a relatively complex process.The process involves three machines: the first bends steel coils wound on a type of cable drum into a long tube; a second cuts it to size; a third shapes the tube into the meandering shape accompanied by the strong clanging of metal The new bending machine combines these three steps in one process reducing the amount of manual effort required is that it gives Ritter Energie greater flexibility This is important for the manufacturer because of the project-based nature of making large-scale solar thermal systems Production manager Oliver Kreis explains: “With each new order we have to ramp up register production – and ramp it down again when the order has been completed The new system makes things easier and faster” increased flexibility enables experimentation materials and wall thicknesses during register production We can then use the solutions we find to further improve the collectors,” explains the specialist The company is also working on this with the Technical University of Dresden in a new research project funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy The project’s goal is to achieve a register design that increases the collector area and also enables more collectors to be serially connected within a solar thermal field These are the two key factors to reduce installation costs The critical factor here is the inflow and outflow of the water conveying the heat this has been performed via a separate collector pipe its capacity is quite limited by the physics of the system the register itself is to take on this function in the future Its production will then become much more complex – a task that only the new bending machine can perform Head of Finance and Controlling at Ritter Energie According to Head of Finance Melanie Schröder it is not yet possible to say how quickly the investment in the new bending machine will pay for itself – it will depend on success in developing the new collectors and on the demand from heating providers the new machine will quickly pay for itself It won’t reduce CO2 emissions compared to previous production methods but it will help Ritter Energie to manufacture collectors and five square metres of collectors will prevent 13.8 tonnes of carbon dioxide from being emitted over a period of twenty years compared to a typical gas condensing boiler Ritter Energie has invested a total of 800,000 euros in the machine The company has financed it entirely through KfW’s Programme 293 climate action campaign for SMEs.” says Melanie Schröder The investment grant of three per cent of the financing amount makes KfW’s funding offer very attractive The company benefits from the fact that KfW’s Programme 293 is also explicitly aimed at companies that manufacture climate-friendly technologies support has been available for using but not for manufacturing environmentally-friendly technology We want to change that with the climate action campaign,” says Luise Thomas Product Manager at KfW Mittelstandsbank (SME Bank) “because SMEs are key contributors to achieving the German Federal Government’s climate protection goals KfW Programme 293 "Climate Protection Offensive for SMEs" supports projects to protect the environment You receive a loan amount of up to EUR 25 million and benefit from a direct climate grant With its investment in the new bending machine Ritter Energie is making an important contribution to the transition in heating systems a core element of Germany’s climate action policy With high-performance collectors that are cost-effective to install the company is helping utilities to decarbonise their district heating supply This fits the aim with which Ritter Energie was founded more than thirty years ago: to use the sun’s power to produce both environmentally friendly and economical heating Non-existent or dilapidated infrastructure hinders economic efficiency and thus engenders poverty by promoting environmentally-friendly means of transport Factories and industrial facilities should also ensure that production is in line with ecological aspects to avoid unnecessary environmental pollution All United Nations member states adopted the 2030 Agenda in 2015 At its heart is a list of 17 goals for sustainable development known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Our world should become a place where people are able to live in peace with each other in ways that are ecologically compatible by the following photographers/photo agencies are used:
