What?! They were all here?!? Dietmar Bär, Anna Schudt and Thomas Böhm on the famous and less famous visitors to the Ruhr region
Die andere Seite der Maloche – Nachbarschaft im Revier
Imagine that! Johann Wolfgang von Goethe wrote about the hospitality of the citizens of Duisburg. Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemingway reported for American newspapers as the Allies battled to liberate Essen. And fellow Nobel Prize winner Heinrich Böll irked local politicians with his portrayal of the Ruhr region. Sibylle Berg accused the city of Castrop Rauxel of having a “faux French” name. And in the song “Der Malocher”, Udo Lindenberg sang about a laborer from the region who chugs champagne in Paris. From these surprising, entertaining and wonderful stories, poems and reports by well-known and less famous visitors, Thomas Böhm together with actress Anna Schudt and actor Dietmar Bär reveal the region’s incredible guestbook. And of course, we will be asking ourselves: Were all these people really here?!
