Als der Kaffee in den Norden kam

NDR | Unsere Geschichte | 1  ×  42 min | 16.01.2019

Coffee is this nation’s favourite beverage. The average German drinks more coffee than water: 162 litres per year. Coffee is far more than just a hot beverage – it is an integral part of our culture, an expression of conviviality and a deserved time out. “Unsere Geschichte” takes viewers on a trip across all the states of North Germany – with thrilling anecdotes told by our protagonists, impressive archival footage and the trendiest coffee creations of the day.

​The documentary follows our North German protagonists, who have devoted their entire lives to the aromatic beans. Together with the coffee expert Bärbel Dahms, we repeatedly look back in history – to the origins of our centuries-old coffee culture: how everything began, in the 17th century, in the first North German coffee houses; how Hamburg merchants “developed a taste” for it in the empire; and how finally in the 20th century coffee brick packs became a mass-market product.
