The publication of the special postage stamps with surcharges in favor of the Stiftung Deutsche Sporthilfe, whose patron is the Federal President, is to help the social interests and tasks of the foundation in all areas of sport. From 2 to 16 August 2008, the World Gliding Championships took place in Berlin. In Lüsse, a small village in the district of Potsdam-Mittelmark, launched more than 100 participants who managed on their flights routes of up to 700 kilometers. The glider airfield in Lüsse is one of the largest in Europe and was already the venue for the European Gliding Championships in 2000. It is located in one of the most thermally attractive areas of Central Europe and is thus ideally suited for the World Gliding Championships, which will be held in Germany for the fifth time after 1937, 1960, 1981 and 1999.
