OUR COUNTRY IN THE 60S

In a class of its own

The 60s - a decade that shaped our country like no other.
The architecture of that time still shapes the face of our cities and communities today.
Tens of thousands of people who came back then as so-called "guest workers" to keep the economy on the Rhine and Ruhr running have long since made themselves at home here.
And the hits of those years are evergreens today.

From 1963, employees were allowed to travel 24 days a year - with full pay!
People in NRW were gripped by wanderlust and many were drawn to "Bella Italia".
But a lot was also happening at home.
