One of his more famous pieces, made in 1935 entitled "Hurrah, die Butter ist Alle!" () was published on the frontpage of the "AIZ" in 1935. The photomontage shows a family at a kitchen table, where a nearby portrait of Hitler hangs and the wallpaper is covered with swastikas. The family — mother, father, old woman, young man, baby, and dog — are trying to eat pieces of metal, such as chains, bicycle handlebars, and rifles. Below, the title is written in large letters, in addition to a quote by Hermann Goering during food shortage. Translated, the quote reads: ""Iron has always made a nation strong, butter and lard have only made the people fat"". The picture makes fun of a speech Goering made, the quote is shortened to "Guns before butter"
"Hurrah, die Butter ist Alle!" served as the inspiration behind the song "Metal Postcard (Mittageisen)" by Siouxsie & the Banshees; the song was re-recorded in German and released as a single with Heartfield's work as the cover art.
The Heartfield piece "The Hand has 5 Fingers" with its original text: ""5 fingers make a hand! With these 5 grab the enemy!"", was referenced by alternative metal band System of a Down. A text printed on the back of the album "System of a Down" reads: ""The hand has five fingers, capable and powerful, with the ability to destroy as well as create"".
Solenoid
A solenoid is a 3 dimensional structure of wire. When this wire is wrapped around a metallic block in a coil and electricity is passed through it, it has some special magnetic properties. Electromagnetic induction makes it an electromagnet that can be switched on or off. The side in which the current appears to be passing clockwise, is the South Pole, and the side in which the current seems to be passing anticlockwise is the Northern Pole. The solenoid works just like a bar magnet, and therefore has many uses.
This principle is used to create valves, among other things. Where the solenoid operates an electric switch, it is a relay.
Pinball machines, vehicles and traditional door bells use solenoids.
Kyffhäuserkreis
Kyffhäuserkreis is a rural district in the northern part of Thuringia, Germany.
In the 12th century there was a castle on the Kyffhäuser mountains, which was built during the reign of emperor Frederick I. According to the local legend, the emperor did not die, but instead went to sleep in this castle.
From 1579 on the region belonged to Saxony, but after 1815 it was divided between the Prussian Province of Saxony and Schwarzburg-Sondershausen.
In 1952 the two districts of Artern and Sondershausen were set up by the East German government. These districts were merged in 1994, with only a few municipalities joining other districts.
The district has a partnership with the district Ahrweiler in Rhineland-Palatinate, which was actually established with the district Artern in 1990.
The district is named after the "Kyffhäuser" mountains. The main river is the Unstrut, which flows through the east of the district.
Nordhausen (district)
Nordhausen is the northernmeost "Landkreis" (rural district) of Thuringia, Germany.
The district was created in 1815, when the Prussian province Saxony was created. There were many changes to the boundaries up to 1952, when some municipalities were brought into the district and others left.
Saale-Holzland
Saale-Holzland-Kreis is a "landkreis" (rural district, or county) in the east of Thuringia, Germany.
The district was set up in 1994 by joining the old districts of Eisenberg, Jena and Stadtroda. When the district of Stadt rod) was first set up in 1922 it already covered nearly the area of the current district. In 1952 the East German government abolished the federal states ("Bundesländer"), and also split the district into the three parts, which were put together again in 1994.
Saale-Orla
Saale-Orla is a "Landkreis" (rural district) in the east of Thuringia, Germany.
The district was created in 1994 by joining the old districts of Lobenstein, Pößneck and Schleiz.
Saalfeld-Rudolstadt
Saalfeld-Rudolstadt is a "Landkreis" (district) in the south of Thuringia, Germany.
The district dates back to the "Landratsamt" Saalfeld, which was created in 1868, and in 1922 it was converted into the "Landkreis". Also in 1922 the district Rudolstadt was created. Both districts were merged in the local government changes of 1994.
Schmalkalden-Meiningen
Schmalkalden-Meiningen is a "Landkreis" (rural district) in the west of Thuringia, Germany.
The district was created in 1994 by joining the old districts of Schmalkalden, Meiningen and part of Suhl-Land.
The district has a partnership with the Vogelsbergkreis in Hesse, as well as with the Komitat Pest in Hungary.
Sömmerda (district)
Sömmerda is a "Landkreis" (rural district) in the north of Thuringia, Germany.
The district Sömmerda was created in 1952. In 1994 the districts of Thuringia were reorganized, and the district Sömmerda was made a lot bigger by adding municipalities from the old districts Artern and Erfurt-Land.

Electronvolt
The electron-volt or electron volt, symbol eV, is used to measure energy. It is defined as the amount of energy an electron gains after being accelerated by 1 volt of electricity. Joules are used often for energy measurement, but it is sometimes useful to use electron-volts for very small amounts of energy, such as that carried by a single subatomic particle. To convert joules into electron-volts, divide joules by the charge of an electron, which is about 1.602 coulomb.
E.g. 5 J = 5/1.602 5 J = 3.125 eV.
The electronvolt is often used in atomic, nuclear and particle physics. For example, the energy of photons can be measured by the voltage necessary to overcome their photoelectric effect.
