Als wir nach den Sternen griffen - 1972

Our country in the 70s – Season 1

In 1972, North Rhine-Westphalia reached for the stars—it was to be a year full of soaring heights and high achievers—a journey to new horizons. A girl from Essen made it onto the German charts—and in the Eifel region, they built the largest “ear” pointing toward space. The third episode of this ten-part documentary series shows that North Rhine-Westphalia achieved feats that were nothing short of record-breaking, even by global standards!
