Holography in Germany

Besides the surprising fact that already three years are gone again, it is a good idea to stop for a moment and look back: What has been accomplished in this time span? What is important to mention? There are many good and promising developments. Some of them are presented in other talks at the Lake Forest meeting. But besides those promising experiences there are some questions about the holographic market in Germany. Comments are made on education, fine- art, research and development and commercial holography.
