OUR COUNTRY IN THE 90S

The land shakes - 1992

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 1992 was full of big surprises!
The country shook more violently than at any time since 1756, most violently on the Lower Rhine.
In Cologne, the completely unknown pop singer Guildo Horn launched his career, Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger from Minden became a minister overnight and Thomas Helmer from Dortmund experienced a summer to forget.
The summer of 1992 saw revolutionary changes in telephony: The D-network began its triumphal march.
At the end of the year, police officers discovered the bodies of Green Party icon Petra Kelly and her partner Gerd Bastian in Bonn.
And in Cologne, more than a hundred thousand people demonstrated against racism and xenophobia.
