“Wo Bayern dem Himmel am Nächsten ist – Die Zugspitze”

Alpine and foreign cultures (), Beatrice Sonhüter 45 min

The Zugspitze: this means hectic mass tourism as well as complete solitude. Magnificent clear view or opaque layers of mist. Research centre and amusement park. Alpine challenge and comfortable ascent on high heels. The highest mountain in Germany is fascinating and dangerous, inviting and scaring, wild and domesticated. And – the Zugspitze is a popular and therefore tortured mountain. For four persons, the Zugspitze means more: it is the centre of their lives. The documentary observes the unique microcosms on the Zugspitze, and describes encounters with these very different characters.
