Series: OUR COUNTRY

North Rhine-Westphalia looks back on a unique history. A history peppered with great emotions and moments of happiness as well as disasters and failures. Charged with numerous myths, wishes and legends.

We bring the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s back to life. We ask how the West lived, what it was all about. What were the major developments that still have an impact today and shape everyday life? What was irretrievably lost? Those who experienced something special, poignant and unforgettable in this decade tell us on the spot what happened - and how it changed their lives.
