Wir vom Jahrgang 1951 - Kindheit und Jugend

Excited and expectant, we looked to the future back then! Join us in reminiscing about the first 18 years of life - your childhood and youth! Born in 1951, we were the generation that grew up during the economic miracle, experienced the rise of the automobile and television, celebrated victories over polio and tuberculosis, traveled to Italy, and enjoyed the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Most of us played "Cowboys and Indians" or "Heaven and Hell" in the rubble or on the numerous construction sites that ensured the rebuilding. As we grew older, we rebelled against our teachers and protested against consumerism. Thus, we marched into the wild 60s.
