Fifty years after the International Geophysical Year (IGY) and 50 years of space exploration, the world’s science community will again come together in 2007 for an international program of scientific collaboration: the International Heliophysical Year (IHY) 2007. The IHY has three primary objectives: (1) Advancing our understanding of the fundamental heliophysical processes that govern the Sun, Earth and Heliosphere. (2) Continuing the tradition of international research and advancing the legacy on the 50th anniversary of the International Geophysical Year . (3) Demonstrating the beauty, relevance and significance of Space and Earth Science. We will present the planed IHY 2007 activities in Germany for which we put the emphasis on the development of educational material, on public outreach, and on the initiation of future (inter)-national missions and research programs. Another aim of this talk is to motivate additional suggestions and activities within the IHY 2007. On the long-run the solar and heliospheric community should use the opportunity of the IHY to start a closer scientific collaboration within Germany.
