Heliophysics has a long standing tradition in Germany. Observations of the Sun have been carried out for
centuries. Since the launch of the space mission AZUR in 1965 German researchers were and are part in many
important heliophysical missions like Helios, Ulysses, SOHO and recently Stereo. The community welcomes the
United Nation initiative and supports their activities. The German IHY Outreach and Education program is based
on a number of events. Several institutions will take part in the world-wide open doors day. A major effort is an
exhibition, which has been developed by German researchers and can be seen at the computer fair CEBIT and in
ten Planetaria all over Germany. We are part of the activity Space Weather and Europe- Educational tool with the
Sun, which is funded by the European Union. A Special Issue of the German Physik Journal will bring
heliophysical research closer to the public. All material will be available via our webpage www.ihy2007.de
