01. the Ruhr changed his face 0'33 coal and steel once dominated this landscape. Remains of the name: "Coal pot", such as the Ruhr area, the largest industrial center in Europe, is also called.
0'46 smoking chimneys as a symbol of the stimulus. After the second world war, the reconstruction of the German economy went out from here. Half a million people were employed in the mining industry alone. But for living and life, the Ruhr area was considered little attractive.
today remember 1 at the time when the mining of "black gold" was still determinant of economic objects of art. In the 60s, the extinction of mining began in a sign of the oil boom. The coal pot had to switch to: miners were retrained. disused mines turned into industrial monuments or cultural centers. Especially nice: the former Zeche "Zollern" in Dortmund, Germany.
l ' 29 remaining mines working with the latest technology, have been gently into the landscape embedded. Nature conservation was an important place. The 5.4 million inhabitants of the Ruhr area now live in one of the greenest metropolitan areas.
1'46 even if life in the Ruhr has become more colorful, pollution remains a challenge. Modern baghouses are still lacking in some power plants, and some flow looks so: 2'00 straightened the Emscher - and abused as a sewer. A victim of industrialization. Now she is to be renaturalized. A first success is reflected on a small tributary.
2'16 with great pace a structural change takes place in the Ruhr district again: the settlement of high-tech industry is gaining importance. Politics, business and trade unions support this adaptation process. More than 90,000 new jobs could be created already.
2'39 remediation a miner settlement. State funds help to make this traditional structure to get and homely.

We saw a huge fiery glow, it looked as if half the city would burn. As we discovered on the day, the medieval center of the churches was destroyed. The organ and even the western part had fallen into the Church of St. George in fire."
3'57 saved from the Inferno was the valuable high altar. Restorers have taken place to the refurbishment of the largest medieval artwork in the Baltic Sea region.

4'41 St. Georgen may again the outstanding building of Wismar in ten years - if the donations flow well -. Even though the sailors in the Baltic Sea no longer need the Gothic Basilica as a landmark.

DerDeulschen the convergence is not always completely trouble-free – the 40-year-old development was too different over here and over there. This affected people: the elderly, but also the young Duke Sohn Rick. -You must go to new each other in the East and West.
5'39 Jürgen Herzog is professionally well qualified. That has helped him in his inclusion in the democratic and performance-oriented West German industrial company.
'' We feel 6 here very well, because the breed very says to us, and we recorded actually quite friendly and Nice. Colleagues give me support, and fun in the sense, because here you can reach all what you wanted before. I speak because, for example, the order to and the whole environment.

whether market-based management or modern technology - must his East German colleagues much new learning 6. You grew up in socialism, where the plan and the instructions from above were one, the reality, but something else. Do they feel now patronized?

7'07 in the East German companies is new life. No wonder is that this too quickly, too slowly can be done one other: 7'15 "when people from two fundamentally different systems overnight must live together and work together in particular, problems of course. Reservations in the sense that we come from the West and say we are the better, we've done 40 years everything correctly, you did everything wrong.
