06. After the currency reform: A contemporary image gallery short after the currency reform makes the camera a stroll through the weekly market and thereby captures images, which would have appeared more recently as Mirage: vegetables in abundance, all fresh and the pick, and goods of the highest quality. You ask the price - buys - and go home satisfied. With the currency reform, the fruit was ripe overnight. Here, too, the business flourishes, the selection is great, the service friendly. There are things of which you spoke so far only in the Flüstertone, which were sold under the counter with a male again. Now, money is everything again. But the clientele is critical – buys or strike - depending on the price. Some previous scarce becomes today the shop keeper. In the shop the same image: the shelves are filled, the camps here To give what was so long not to have. Buyers and store owners feel what has struck the hour.

And the station shows an unusual empty after the last massive storming days. Travelling again comfortable, or maybe at least humanely. Crisis time for entertainment venues. After the currency reform, every penny is turned over, before it turns into the Waltz. Also the company is Not yet much in demand. At the Carnival, there is little... Hustle and bustle. The roundabouts have hardly passengers, the trapeze artist working for a small but appreciative audience. On the Racecourse is the sign "Free admission" an effective lure. Bet is still little. And yet, a consequence of the currency reform. Revived the service - it is eager and polite and says "Please honor us again" at the party.
