Treffpunkt: Ostereier und Osterbrauchtum
German lang., 1993, color, ca. 30 min. Hans Dieter Reichert of Treffpunkt (Suedwestdeutscher
Rundfunk, Stuttgart) takes us to the Easter Egg Museum (Osterei-Museum) Sonnenbuehl,
an old schoolhouse, converted in 1985 into a museum. Through exhibits and demonstrations
the story of Easter customs comes to life. You can learn how to blow out an
egg and observe different ways of decorating it. These range from the very delicate
knotting technique for a lace-covered egg, from etching and painting, to the
dying and decorating with natural products, such as onion skins and walnut shells,
as done in earlier times. The custom and art of painting eggs was begun by the
Sorben, a Slavic minority of some 150,000 in Brandenburg and Saxony, and was
perfected by the Hessians. The Hessians have become veritable specialists in
this tradition. Not only are their eggs beautifully decorated, the Hessian Easter
egg also shows verses and sayings, inscribed in beautiful penmanship. Numerous
Easter games involve the egg and are shown on the video.

gross - so gross/ Die Wege sind so weit/ Ick wohn' erst zwanzig Jahre hier/
Und hatt' noch keene Zeit" So brachte Otto Reutter seinerzeit auf den Punkt,
Wie es allen, die Berlin auf die Schnelle erobern wollen, ergehen kann. Berlin

Berlin, 1987, First of May Celebration
GDR, 1987, German commentary, ca. 180 min. - One of the biggest May Day celebrations
in East Berlin was the city's 750th anniversary festival. Tens of thousands
of marchers of all ages, waving red banners, balloons and placards, went past
the reviewing stand, where Communist party general secretary Erich Honecker,
looking like a benign grandfather, waved back. There were scenes of dancing
and pageantry and the usual platitudes on the supremacy of communism. Ironically,
tow years later the German Democratic Republic ceased to exist.
