action

An S-Bahn arrives at Berlin-Pankow station . Here in 1977 a tour begins, with several stops, through the city ​​district of the same name in East Berlin . The first stop of these everyday observations is on the green of the old village, where market day is every Tuesday and Friday . Here, between the stalls with offers ranging from fruit and vegetables to buttons and zippers, the customer is king while the dealers advertise him. We continue to the district of Berlin-Heinersdorf , where the VEB Milchhof Berlin is located. Here, the fresh milk from the surrounding districts is delivered every night by milk tanker, so that it can be processed in 51 different variants, with which the 1.2 million inhabitants of East Berlin are supplied, as operations director Walter Plagge explains.

Take tram line 22 to the final stop in Berlin-Rosenthal . This is where the Willi Ziekow family's privately operated bakery is located. You immediately notice the snake in front of the business, as many Berliners that sold here bread, which from the consumer - department store since it handmade with its fresh, traditional production of prefer leaven has a much better taste. We continue with the impressions to Berlin-Blankenfelde to the estate there , where pigs are primarily fattened . But there is also an equestrian center here, where the BSG tractors train. The young people also ride over the famous Berlin sewage fields , which originally absorbed the city's sewage. The mayor of the Pankow district, Horst Ansorge , proudly tells us that he heads a large city with 140,000 inhabitants in the district. Pankow consists of nine districts, in which the village character predominates.

But football is also at home here, which is proven by game scenes from the game between BSG Bergmann-Borsig and Berolina Stralau . The football-loving operations director of VEB Bergmann-Borsig , the sponsoring company of the sports association, is often on the edge of the field . When asked, he confirms that all footballers are fully employed and do not receive any discounts in terms of working hours. One of the footballers is even a shift worker. Training takes place twice a week after working hours. We continue to the laboratory of the Central Institute for Circulatory Research in Berlin-Buch . The research is increasingly changing the character of the hospital in Buch, which was founded at the end of the 19th century . So everything stays in flux, like the Panke on its way through the city district with the associated public park , which many Berliners use to relax.

Thermos keeps you cold and hot, without fire, without ice . With this slogan, the son of the inventor of the thermos flask, Reinhold Burger, begins his tour of the small museum, during which he and his brother explain the functional principle of the jug invented in Pankow. The painter Paul Schultz-Liebisch also lives and works in Pankow . In his studio , he tells how he got into painting in the first place and which motifs he likes best. The Wittmanns have their property in Lessingstrasse in Berlin-Wilhelmsruh . They tell how, from August 1944 , they hid a Jew who had fled the Auschwitz concentration camp . But not only with this action they put their lives at risk, but both wrote slogans against Adolf Hitler , the war and National Socialism on the windows and walls of the cars during the night when the S-Bahn was almost empty. Although fear was a constant companion, they had always been lucky. Before the camera finally gets an overview of the many unnamed Pankowers, a visit to the sculptor Heinz Worner is due. He has just had another visit from his clay children, to whom he is trying to convey their first experiences in designing bodies with this material.
