Her Federal Republic was the provisional state that lasted for 40 years - until the wall fell. This country accompanied, observed, and described her. However, her focus was not on the political protagonists, nor on those who conducted world politics and their own businesses in the spotlight of parliaments and media. Her topics were those that life wrote: she reported on the days when people stopped calling the birth control pill "ovulation inhibitor." She introduced canned food: the microwave from America was presented at a fair in Germany. However, ready-made meals hardly interested anyone at that time. She wrote about the abuse and death of a student - and the ignorant handling of it by parents and teachers. The tragedy as a taboo. And she wrote about the fashion that in the 1950s was still a procedure in pink.
