The green island

A journey through time to Ireland

For a long time, the "Emerald Isle" was considered the poorhouse of Europe.
However, Ireland has not only long since become the richest country in the EU and Europe's No. 1 IT location, but has also become a new home for many Germans.

rland, that means big city flair alongside rural idyll, a wild, rugged coastal landscape combined with rolling hills and the close juxtaposition of historical reminiscences and vibrant contemporary culture. This unique mixture has made Ireland a favorite destination for German emigrants and holidaymakers since the 1950s. Filmmaker Beatrice von Schilling goes in search of traces of the most exciting and beautiful places on the "Emerald Isle". First broadcast: Friday, May 01, 2009, 1:10 p.m., ARD.
