The second part of the coal-saga accompanies the miner-family Bialo through the last decades of the 20th century until the millennium. The technical progress brings huge challenges for the people in the Ruhr area. It is only possible to manage the necessary tasks when all work together.
The book “Revier im Wandel” reports on the big historical and social upheavals of the past 40 years – the economic and energy crisis, the German reunification, the rising of the knowledge society – as well as the enormous industrial innovations of the country. The Bialos and their descendants remain true to the Ruhr area. Even in difficult times they never think about turning their back on their homeland, but help to create a better future.
The miners continue to fight for the coal as an energy source and as their means of existence. They also struggle for their private happiness. Carefully but keenly Renata, the chief of the clan, is holding the family together.
