OUR COUNTRY IN THE 90S

Hollywood in NRW - 1991

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.

1991: It came to a showdown in Bonn.
The Bundestag voted on whether the seat of government should move to Berlin - and the people of Bonn feverishly awaited the result on video screens.
A real business thriller took place in Dortmund: the Essen-based Krupp Group had secretly bought up the majority of Hoesch shares.
It was the first hostile takeover in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Inspector "Schimanski" investigated for the last time in Duisburg's Tatort, and Hape Kerkeling made television history as the false Queen Beatrix.
Two box office hits used the Ruhr region as a backdrop.
The main character in both films: the cult car "Manta".
The films could be admired in the new multiplex cinemas that were springing up all over NRW.
