      From 26^th October till 2^nd November 2003 seven students at our Faculty and assistant Renata Cvitković, together with group of professors, assistants and students at FMGBE (Faculty of Mining-Geological Building Engineering) from Tuzl and Technological Faculty from Banja Luka participated in Scientific-expert excursion in Germany in frame of the DAAD project. The host was University in Kaiserslautern. Ph. D. Meißner was our host in the name of the University.

      We visited and met with all drives of Kaiserslautern city landfill, system of purification of waste waters, system of water supplying... Within the University of Kaiserslautern there are modern equipped laboratories for material testing, steel and concrete construction elements (one of the best equipped laboratories in Germany), then laboratory for soil mechanic and funding and other which were represented by our hosts.

      In the city Karlsruhe we visited construction site "Ettlinger Tor". That is big mercantile center which is being built in the centre of the old town. in order to represent the size, not only physical, of that future object i will only say that the total investition is 200.000.000 Euros!

      Beside the expert content excursion had rich cultural part. Normally we met architectonic and historical structure of cities Kaiserslautern and Karlsruhe. Especially we had whole-day excursion in the city Heidelberg. Greattourist guide walked us through rich past and presence of that trully romantic European city. On the last day of our excursion we sailed on the Rhein from the small town St. Goar on the coast of that river till Boppard.

      One of the interesting, unexpected events which brought joy to us was vine degustation in Hambach near Neustadt. We should also mention that we had reception at the mayor of Kaiserslautern, which is not insignificant event.

      And of course, the most important second thing in the wolrd-football. We could not be there without visiting of football stadium of FCK Kaiserslautern "Fritz Walter", which will be able, after reconstruction, to recieve 48.500 viewers on the five games of World football cup in Germany 2006.

      On the way back we wenr to Frankfurt just for tourist survey of that city.

      In the end we can only thank the people whooganized this great program, apsolutely every minute was used. We had plenty to see and to learn.
