On this edition:

Lagerfeld as Interior Designer
German fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld is best known for his contributions to haute couture, but as a man of many talents he's also designing the interiors of two villas as part of an exclusive real estate development in Hamburg.

Passion Play Casting
Once every ten years, the Bavarian town of Oberammergau stages its famous passion play - and auditions are already underway ahead of the next production in 2010. The cast is made up entirely of locals.

Bodyflight
A wind tunnel simulating free fall conditions allows skydivers to practice their techniques without the hassle of having to jump from a plane and fold parachutes. We take a look at the only such facility in France.

Martin Eder
German artist Martin Eder has been described as the "master of bad taste" - but his pictures which are often derided as 'kitsch' by critics sell for up to 80 thousand euros. An exhibition in Dresden pays tribute to his work.

Home Saunas
Relaxing in the sauna is especially popular in the winter and more and more Germans are discovering the joys of having their own sauna at home.

Furniture Designer Helmut Palla
Austrian Helmut Palla takes secondhand objects and gives them a new lease on life by turning them into furniture. His creations are definitely original and add a playful touch to their owners' homes.
