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.
The year 1998 brought some changes: A Green police chief had to take action against opponents of nuclear power.
The Kelly Family moved house.
And Guildo Horn brought Nussecken and the Schlager to the ESC.
Guildo Horn, the "master", mobilized thousands for public viewing.
With his performance at the "Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson", the Cologne native ushered in a new era.
From the cathedral city, the pop hype eventually spread throughout Germany.
And everyone was in a Guildo frenzy.
The Kelly family honored the penny.
They won the bid at a forced auction of Gymnich Castle, and patriarch Daniel Jerome Kelly put 1.3 million marks in cash on the table as a down payment, a tenth of the total price.
Hubert Wimber had to deal with protest camps: The transport of nuclear waste to Ahaus in Westphalia mobilized thousands of opponents of nuclear power.
As Germany's first Green police chief, Wimber had to keep the anti-nuclear protesters in Ahaus in Westphalia in check with several thousand police officers - much to the annoyance of some of his party colleagues.
