Since 2011 he has been the publisher of Edition RevierSport , a media series by Klartext Verlag , which is committed to the special features of football in the Ruhr area. For the 50th anniversary of the Bundesliga, Piorr published the voluminous volume "We children of the Bundesliga. 50 years of first-class football on the Rhine and Ruhr". Since 2008, the historian has also been researching articles for WDR television documentaries, such as Auf Shift: A Life for Steel or It Happened in North Rhine-Westphalia: The Great Petrol Fraud , about Erhard Goldbach and the Goldin company , (each in cooperation with the production company taglichtmedia, Cologne ) .

The project ended in 2010 with a central memorial in memory of the victims of the Shoah in Herne and Wanne-Eickel. In 2012 the book he edited about the deportation of 800 Jews to the Polish city of Zamość was published in April 1942.

The reopening of the local history and natural history museum in Wanne-Eickel took place after three years of renovation under the new name Heimatmuseum Unser Fritz in April 2017. The city history exhibition, for which Piorr was responsible as curator, met with enthusiastic reactions.

In December 2017 Piorr published the biographical story of a miner he found, "Die Men von Luise", in which the brutal nature of the Ruhr mining industry is described. At the same time, a stage version with the actor Till Beckmann and the musician Christian Donovan was created, which was celebrated with standing ovations at its premiere in February 2018 in the Literaturhaus Herne Ruhr.
