In the ten-part series, WDR travels back to the 90s - to a time when cell phones were still pressed to the ear like giant bones, music stations such as EinsLive and Viva were launched and the old Ruhr area became a local recreation area.
In 1994, the heads of state and government of the European Union were at the summit in Essen.
The EU summit shook up city life for three days.
Others also made it to the top in 1994.
Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher from Kerpen won his first world championship title despite an accident.
And the Kelly Family reached the peak of their fame in 1994.
1994 was also the year when the so-called "gay paragraph" 175 was overturned.
Homosexuality was no longer a criminal offense.
Comic artist Ralf König ("Der bewegte Mann") and the then Minister of Justice Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger (FDP) remember this long overdue correction in German criminal law.
It is no coincidence that in this social climate, "Der bewegte Mann" became the biggest German cinema hit of the year.
More than six million viewers wanted to see the gay comedy by director Sönke Wortmann.
