Thanks Novalis I'm a bit lost as to where the b of 14 down fits in the unclued lights. Can you help?

14d has 8d inside it to make 1a - hope that makes sense!

[Farrwest]

Thank you Roslyn. Yes it does. I had the wrong answer for 1a which made life difficult for me but having got that right everything began to fit into place and I managed to finish - for once!
Thanks to all who taught me a little German!
