Labour Movement in Germany
1848 to 1914
In 1815, after the end of the Napoleonic wars, Europe reinvented itself. The Congress of Vienna created new states and changed a great number of borders. After the devastating war years, now a deceptive peace was reigning and people could focus on normal life again. The era of advancing industrialisation had been heralded and changed the economy in all of Europe and thereby the workers’ role. In the large enterprises they had become stooges for the new machines, had to adapt to their rhythm. Oppression and exploitation led to the pauperisation and impoverishment of the newly created working class. Discontent and unrest were foreseeable. Severe social conflict accompanied the time of early industrialisation in Europe. The workers realised that the time had come to discuss working hours, wages and the right to lead more civilised lives.

Ceramic
Ceramics are indispensable in our everyday lives. We eat from ceramic plates, drink from ceramic cups, use tiled ceramic bathrooms. But how is ceramic manufactured? The film reveals the secrets of this fascinating material! We get to know more about the beginnings of ceramic in the Old World of Egypt and Mesopotamia, about Greece, China and Rome. We gain interesting insights into the valuable earthenware and are also shown the exquisite further development of the "white gold". Today this versatile material is irreplaceable in industry, too. Whether in space or as an easily compatible substitute in medicine, ceramic is applied in many places.
Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
