This Saturday, a decision was made in Baden-Baden regarding Germany\u2019s participation in one of the Olympic Games. Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier announced the decision alongside DOSB President Thomas Weikert at the Kurhaus Baden-Baden: Munich has won the bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The immense fascination surrounding the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris has shown that the magic of major Olympic events is clearly timeless. The magnificent opening ceremony, which impressed the whole world, and the wonderful closing ceremony gave me this idea: a sunny appeal for a solar-powered 2036 Olympics in Germany \u2013 100 years after the terrible 1936 Nazi Olympics in Berlin, which horrified humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its environmentally friendly 2024 Olympics \u2013 all competition venues for the Olympic and Paralympic Games were powered by renewable energy and some stadiums were used for multiple purposes \u2013 France has presented itself to the world as a colourful, modern, progressive and likeable country. The 2024 Olympics in Paris were a sublime event. At the closing ceremony, mythological figures symbolised the much-vaunted Olympic spirit: peace for the whole world.<\/p>\n\n\n

The five Olympic rings symbolise the five peaceful continents. The world needs this Olympic ideal as a dream. Without a dream of peace, there will be no peace. Geopolitical conflicts can be overcome. The then President of the Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, at the close of the Games in Paris: \u201cThe Olympics celebrate a culture of peace.\u201d The Olympic Games in Paris celebrated the unity of humanity in all its diversity. For the first time, there were equal numbers of women and men competing. The Olympics as a symbol of gender equality and the inviolability of the dignity of all<\/strong> people. The Games in Paris were simply fantastic \u2013 that is the unanimous verdict of the global audience. It would be an important and significant sign of successful change if Germany were to achieve something similar in 2036 and, by then, the whole of Germany were to be supplied with renewable energy. This vision is achievable and would be good for Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Olympic Games are a high-profile celebration of humanity\u2019s joy in movement and transformation. The message from Germany in 2036 could be: \u2018Germany is renewable, Europe is renewable, the world is renewable.\u2019 At the same time, the history of the Nazi propaganda Games exactly 100 years earlier could be re-examined: the sun instead of the swastika \u2013 international solidarity and global cooperation instead of \u2018Deutschland \u00fcber alles\u2019. The year 2024 was a fateful year for democracy, but at least there was one wonderful ray of hope: the Olympics in Paris!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The national pride that is resurging everywhere today is more bearable in sports shirts than in military uniforms. Twenty-six years after Germany\u2019s Renewable Energy Sources Act in the year 2000, this is yet another clear signal from Germany heralding a new beginning \u2013 into the solar, democratic age and towards the global solar revolution. Germany in 2036: a country experiencing a green economic miracle. A new and renewable Germany. The signal of a new beginning for the global solar revolution<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sport makes people happy. Sunny, sporting Olympic greetings from Germany to the whole world. Perhaps a new, sunny summer fairy tale. The world needs this peaceful Olympic Games, held every four years. As a symbol of the one<\/strong> human family. Olympics forever! Sun forever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And once again: the motto of the first Solar Olympics could be: \u2018Solar enthusiasts of all nations \u2013 unite!\u2019 or, somewhat more conservatively: \u2018Citizens, to the sun, to freedom.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in the future too: plenty of sunshine in the Olympic sky! The sun is the greatest and brightest symbol of energy, a symbol of fertility and creativity, a symbol of the divine, a symbol of transformation and change, a symbol of a bright and radiant future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A solar energy economy is the prerequisite for a peace treaty between humanity and nature. Climate policy is economic policy. With the help of a global solar policy, life on Earth can flourish once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every child born today should be able to say in 20 years\u2019 time:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
