Like sweets from the kiosk. A literary review of the little details unique to life in the Ruhr region. With Dietmar Bär, Thomas Böhm and Anna Schudt
Biographies of mining
The music played by scrap metal collectors as they traversed the streets. Games of skat in the little summerhouse in the garden. The black rings around the eyes of the miners when the showers at the coal mine were out of order. It is these seemingly small aspects of life on the miners’ estates, which were like special villages, that tell us so much about the Ruhr region. These little details were recorded not only in the writings of Wolfgang Welt, Ralf Rothmann and Ilse Kibgis, who all grew up in the area, but also noted by visitors such as Joseph Roth and Heinrich Böll. With surprising and entertaining literary nuggets and the memories of “people like you and me,” author Thomas Böhm and actors Anna Schudt und Dietmar Bär will bring to life the day-to-day, the beauty and the exceptionality of the Ruhr region in literary form.
