00:02When the wall falls, so does the anti-pornographic barrier. The old is gone, the new is coming.
00:11A wave of sex is rolling eastward. New markets, new porn stars.
00:18In the 90s, pornography was really totally mainstream. It was hyped, actually.
00:25Prostitution is also becoming established, with all its downsides.
00:30No photo has been released yet, but there have already been shootings and acts of violence among all those involved.
00:38Soon, pimps from the West will be fighting against pimps from the East on the streets of the former GDR.
00:57Wolfgang Wolle Förster in his element. He has been the operator of the legendary Klacks nightclub in Dresden since December 1990.
01:09In May 1990, the location looked completely different. Handcrafted work and entrepreneurial spirit.
01:18Wolle Förster rents the property for 500 East German marks and begins to renovate it at his own expense.
01:25At first, he dreams of an arcade.
01:29It was an absolute ruin, judging by the pictures today.
01:33So, if you imagine offering someone something like that again today and charging rent for it...
01:38That's quite an achievement, but it was a cornerstone for a success story that has now lasted 27 years.
01:45The project was completed in December 1990. It was called Klacks. Not an arcade, but a nightclub. With all the trimmings.
01:55your turn.
01:57Eventually, almost by chance, striptease and table dancing also started.
02:02This was a guest here who, quite normally during bar service, said to a female person, "Would you please..."
02:12Move out for 300?
02:14She said yes. And she was stripping here. I was standing with the woman's husband at the bar, who
02:20He drank quite a bit and suddenly said to me,
02:23Wolle, is that my ex? That's not her, that's not her. Is it someone else? He distracted her.
02:29He danced, pocketed the 300 D-Marks, and the audience celebrated.
02:35And since then, table dancing has never come out again; since then, we've been doing table dancing and striptease here.
02:42A few years later, he was already being called the red-light king of Dresden.
02:48Wolle Förster and his neighbor are hitting the nail on the head.
02:51His guests include night owls of all kinds.
02:54Development workers from the former West Germany were especially welcome.
03:01That was a wonderful time because all the guest workers from the old federal states who came over here and this country
03:13helped build it up
03:16They were here all week and of course celebrated here, away from their families, and had a boring weekend.
03:22spent time at home and then we were back here in the East and things really got going.
03:28Wild East, party atmosphere. But also a hangover.
03:33More and more state-owned enterprises are being liquidated. More and more people are becoming unemployed and looking for alternatives.
03:40Andreas Schwarzbach from Magdeburg is also among them.
03:43The heavy machinery engineer became unemployed at the end of 1990 and decided to become self-employed.
03:51Sex is always an option, he thinks to himself. His wife and parents aren't thrilled, but they let him have his way.
03:58The opening of his sex shop is planned for early December 1990. But his relaunch stalls.
04:07My shop was flooded before I even opened it for the first time.
04:11For whatever reason. The upper areas were flooded, and of course everything ended up at the bottom, because I
04:16the ground floor had.
04:18It was definitely sabotage, because someone on the third, second, or third floor turned on a tap and it ran.
04:23stop.
04:24And it was clear that the water would eventually have to reach the bottom.
04:27So, the shop has just been freshly painted; we actually wanted to open a little earlier.
04:31And because everything was then underwater, including the materials and all the crates, that caused us even more problems, I think.
04:38I've been set back a week or two.
04:40The young entrepreneur renovates a second time. Finally, he manages to open the shop.
04:47Just in time for the big Christmas shopping season.
04:52Everything is still new. Sex toys, porn films, aids of all kinds, and erotic lingerie.
05:01The first day involved sparkling wine. We had a girl who was scantily clad and offered sparkling wine to the customers.
05:08It was absolutely packed. It's hard to imagine today, because these commercial spaces were only 48 square meters.
05:16Not very large. Also very winding and actually quite confusing. It was a former apartment.
05:24And that only worked at that time. It wouldn't be possible today.
05:30Dolly Buster. In 1990, she was slowly approaching the zenith of her career as a porn actress.
05:37She produces one film after another, demonstrating her pornographic skills.
05:44I was so proud of it. And I think that was also part of my success.
05:51To truly stand behind it, not just to say "I stand behind it," but to genuinely and wholeheartedly commit to it.
05:59to live.
05:59Well, this was – and I'm sure no one will believe it – but it was my dream job.
06:07The Prague porn star is on a sales tour. In 1996, she visits the Saxon state capital, Dresden.
06:182 p.m., press conference, appearance for the sex expert with measurements 108, 58, 96.
06:27This is for me. Thank you. Oh, how kind. Thank you. Well, good day. Welcome.
06:32The journalist goes in search of a subject.
06:36The autograph sessions at the erotic trade fair in Dresden show how many fans the porn star has in the East.
06:43They exist in the West too. But she notices differences in the audiences in West and East Germany.
06:50It was honest. And that, I think, is also what I appreciate about us East-East Germans, so as I said,
07:02I see myself as German, but of course I'm from the East.
07:06I see that we're simply more honest. And I've sometimes had that feeling too, when there have been autograph sessions.
07:15In the East, the likelihood that people actually said what they said was perhaps less.
07:20Perhaps I often didn't quite understand it because of the accents.
07:23But it was so honest. There was no flattery. So it could also be critical, even though it was actually
07:31never critical.
07:32But the thing is, I hate being sycophantic, and they don't do that.
07:37Then, after dozens of films, Dolly Buster decides to no longer work as a porn actress in front of the camera.
07:44From now on, she only acts behind the scenes, as a producer and businesswoman.
07:53Heidi Witwer from Leipzig also modified her business model in the mid-1990s.
07:59Her solo strip show is going so well that she can't keep up.
08:03So she founds an agency and hires additional stripper staff.
08:0915 women and men who strip for her.
08:13One third of the fee of 350 D-Mark goes to the boss.
08:19Stripping takes place wherever there is a paying clientele: birthday parties, company events.
08:25Heidi herself rarely dances anymore.
08:29There was no other way. I did what I could. Then I just picked out the pretty things.
08:35And then my chickens always said, I don't know, when you're there, the red carpet is always rolled out.
08:42And everyone comes up to me like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I say, well, do you know how long I've been doing this?
08:46You also have to watch it on TV somewhere, and this and that.
08:49I tell you to be beautiful, just like I told you. And then she comes along and rolls.
08:55Take out the carpet.
08:57In the late 1990s, Heidi Witwer only undressed for her husband.
09:03The girls from her agency are frequently and enthusiastically booked. They also receive inquiries from the sex industry.
09:11The brothels, I know them all, the bosses. They know me too. They always said, "Big Mama's coming."
09:16I said you could book girls from me for a performance. Hands off. One performance. And then she's gone again.
09:25outside.
09:26Because they did table dancing and everything. And then I had a group of girls who were kind of for
09:32That's just table dancing.
09:34And then, the stripper, I told her, if I ever find out anything, they took me for a ride.
09:45Heidi's dancers also stripped in Wolle Förster's "Klacks" show. Both Heidi and Wolle, however, draw a line in the sand from the very beginning.
09:54sharp dividing line to the horizontal trade.
09:58What's special about Klacks is that it's been around for 27 years and has only been closed for two days during that time.
10:0427 years.
10:06Once because of the shooting and one day because of the flood.
10:10And what's special about it is that everyone comes here.
10:13Bankers, bank robbers, insurance agents, insurance fraudsters.
10:17So every shift comes here and spends the night hours here.
10:23And the special thing about it is that you can whet your appetite here.
10:26Of course, it's wonderful to be able to be with such beautiful women here, to drink together.
10:31But then it stops. You start to feel hungry again.
10:33And afterwards you either go home or to one of the Table Diamonds, which are specifically designed for that purpose.
10:39it continues.
10:42In Leipzig, these are private accommodations or the street prostitution area on Roscherstrasse.
10:48Authorities and police are unsettled. A lawless space.
10:54Business is good. More and more women, including some from the west, are appearing on Roscherstrasse.
11:02100 marks in the car.
11:03How long have you been here?
11:05Since last Tuesday.
11:07Oh, I see. You're not from Leipzig, are you?
11:09No, I come from Zelle near Hanover.
11:11From a cell near Hanover? Why is that?
11:14Because you can earn good money here.
11:16Ah, you earn more here than in Westenfeld.
11:18Yes.
11:19Why not stay in Germany then?
11:21Because the men here also want to have sex.
11:24Yes, well, but there are plenty of opportunities in Germany.
11:27Secure.
11:27But there are also plenty of girls who do it.
11:29Here it's a maid's gap like anything else.
11:32And I feel the maid's gap.
11:36Sex you can touch.
11:40And sex to watch.
11:45Several of the major porn thieves of those years came from the East.
11:50Dolly Buster from the Czech Republic and Teresa Olowski from Poland.
11:54She is the queen.
11:56Dolly the challenger.
11:59Two fierce rivals.
12:04She was a household name, she was the star, and she was the one who was famous at that time.
12:10And we met once at the wholesale trade.
12:13And that wasn't a pleasant encounter, actually.
12:20Because she actually made a strange noise as she walked past me.
12:27That is to say, she somehow couldn't quite cope with it.
12:33In 1995, Teresa Olowski was one of the world's biggest porn producers, with over 200 films a year.
12:41Their studios in Hanover are the most modern in the industry.
12:45That would be enough.
12:47Porn star Teresa Olowski now only works behind the camera.
12:51She knows what can be expected of an actor.
12:54Okay, then let's do it this way.
12:56So you're the one who doesn't have much of a clue yet and is leaving you to believe that he's a little more active.
13:02But maybe try to turn this player around a little.
13:05I like that you might always have contact with him.
13:07Eye contact, for example, that you don't turn your head.
13:10And then maybe you'll also show your charms as a woman.
13:14Make sure you remember to bring a camera too.
13:17And the people at home who are there to make sure you can simply present yourself.
13:22That he doesn't cover you up, for example.
13:25And then every now and then you can look into the camera if you're really that hot.
13:29Can you also tell him to last a little longer, because you might be close to orgasm?
13:34That can be stated quite explicitly.
13:39Marbella in southern Spain.
13:41Even back then, it was something like a second home for the porn star.
13:48An expensive residence.
13:50But Teresa doesn't seem to have any money problems.
13:53And also unacceptable.
13:57Yes, well, I think it's dishonest to say, oh you know, money isn't all that important.
14:02And it's always those lying people who have had enough who say that.
14:06And I hate that.
14:07Money is important.
14:08I have done enough, or a lot, to achieve money.
14:13And I think it's wonderful when you can achieve that through your own efforts, so that you don't live at the expense of others.
14:18And it doesn't necessarily mean that someone only acquired money through one criminal activity.
14:23Which is quite common in Germany.
14:24If someone has achieved something from nothing, then they are automatically a criminal because they now have money.
14:29I love money.
14:31And she loves making more and more money and boosting sales.
14:42Teresa Arlowski visited Magdeburg in 1995.
14:46At Andreas Schwarzbach's.
14:48He presents the porn celebrity at the opening of his second sex shop.
14:57Teresa Arlowski was very, yes, she was already quite noble back then.
15:03So the woman had a certain something about her.
15:04She was a huge name in East Germany.
15:08And the store was packed.
15:10People were crammed together.
15:12I stood in the doorway so that no one else could get in.
15:15It was a real highlight.
15:16Well, that was a nice opening.
15:18It was extremely fun.
15:21I had her original signatures.
15:22And on the poster and stuff.
15:23So, people were very interested.
15:25The goods for sex shop owners in the East still come from the old federal states.
15:34From 1993 onwards, the goods could also be sourced in the East.
15:40The Deininger family in Grimma is founding its own wholesale erotic goods business.
15:45Father Ingobert Deininger, once a musician and insurance agent, and his daughter, a former beautician.
15:52Lutz Kästner, the son-in-law, had previously been a dispatcher at the Berlin transport company.
15:57The female head of the erotic family business, Rosemarie Deininger, was once a well-known hairdresser in Grimma.
16:08The largest erotic wholesaler in the east is being built in an inconspicuous building in the back courtyard.
16:14By the mid-1990s, they already had over 400 regular customers among the sex shop operators.
16:21This family business will soon be an indispensable part of Saxony's erotic scene.
16:28Then the Mutzenbacher.
16:30Yes, I'll take that one too.
16:32The Mutzenbacher.
16:33The Russian Fanny Hill.
16:34I'll take Fanny Hill with me too.
16:37So, then we have the pre-match games, Makitesand.
16:42So, not cute, right?
16:44This is world literature.
16:46And this is something new: the extension condom.
16:51Personal consultation is a top priority.
16:53This is basically like the others here, but much longer and much harder.
16:58And lubricants, those also come from the USA.
17:01So I do think that's something.
17:05I find it very difficult.
17:07Yes, but sometimes they're so soft and then they basically offer some resistance.
17:12I don't know if the customers want something that harsh.
17:15Then we'll have a new vagina atlas.
17:17I don't know if you've already tried including all the atlases.
17:20No, no.
17:21Where are they?
17:22Here, and not here, are all the atlas series.
17:24Give gifts now, before Christmas.
17:26This is the new one.
17:26Drawing from a wealth of resources.
17:30And on Friday, the light-up vagina, Little Miss Lucy, and the one with the young cornea will be back.
17:36It will be back on Friday.
17:38Upon request, the erotic shops in the east are supplied directly by the Deininger family.
17:43His son-in-law, Lutz Kästner, is responsible for that.
17:48In Döbeln, the sex shop is run by a woman.
17:54Extra bust.
17:56Does it always work with breasts?
17:58Yes, for regular customers.
18:00Men love that.
18:02What else was new?
18:04The close-up is new, but not particularly pretty.
18:07I don't know if it cost 9.90 marks.
18:10That's where the quality is lacking.
18:11But the boom of the first few years is slowly coming to an end.
18:17For video store operators like Jürgen Linsenbart in Artern, business survival is becoming increasingly difficult.
18:23No more quick money with steamy videos.
18:26The gold rush mentality is over.
18:29If he wants to stay in business, he needs to come up with something.
18:34In the 1990s, video rental stores became increasingly rare.
18:40Because it wasn't worth it.
18:43Most of them were gone again after nine months anyway.
18:48And I continued to expand, adding drinks and vending machines.
18:57So you couldn't stop, you had to keep moving.
19:01And somehow that paid off in the end.
19:06Heidi Witwer cannot rest on her sales successes either.
19:11In 1992, she opened the first striptease school in Germany.
19:17I train people in erotic dance for the stage and for private use.
19:23And then there's, say, age; my youngest was 16, she didn't look 16, with the consent of the
19:30Parents, up to age 65, the stripper who earned a little extra money.
19:36And now I'm going to move the table a little bit over here.
19:40Besides future professionals, women and men can also learn stripping for private home use.
19:47Heidi invites everyone into her own living room.
19:51Very important: never hold the things you are moving in front of your face.
19:57Pay attention. And slowly, very slowly, you have plenty of time. And then back to it.
20:04And the other side. And go for it.
20:10Imagine opening, taking. Exactly, this taking and this giving.
20:19And now you're simply putting that into practice. That's essentially elaborating on the music. The body takes it, yes. So you give
20:25and you take.
20:28Striptease school isn't cheap. 39 DM per hour. Ten hours per course. For professionals and amateurs.
20:39Heidi Witwer herself is surprised by the large turnout.
20:44Everyone wanted to learn to do stripping. I thought, what have you freed up here, for God's sake?
20:48Because these are people who come who want to get this for their sweetheart. We've been together for five years.
20:54Love and eroticism don't stop there for them. So she learns from me how one
20:59A woman, a businesswoman, she says,
21:01I'd like to do this for my husband's birthday. So, I'd say ten hours.
21:08And I would undress in front of him in a really professional manner.
21:12And then she revealed to me that it wasn't for a man at all. It was for a male friend.
21:16He only came every two weeks. And then she met up with them somewhere.
21:21She bought some beautiful lingerie. And then she stripped in it for him.
21:27Not all sex businesses operate as discreetly and relaxed as Heidi Witwer's striptease school in Leipzig.
21:39Things are quite different on Roscherstrasse. 100 marks for quick sex in a caravan.
21:48Eastern European gangs are now pushing into the market. Western pimps versus Eastern pimps.
21:54The prostitutes' caravans go up in flames.
22:04So far, this hasn't happened. There have been shootings. And acts of violence.
22:09Among all involved parties. That includes pimps and clients, pimps only, and prostitutes only.
22:14Do I need to add that?
22:16The police in Leipzig initially felt helpless in the face of the new wave of violence.
22:21A police officer who wishes to remain anonymous.
22:24The police in Leipzig are overwhelmed in terms of personnel and technology, making it difficult to achieve anything from a police perspective.
22:33company.
22:35Even in Dresden, on Lommatscher Straße, there are clashes between rival pimps.
22:41Here, local Eastern European pimps fight against pimps from the West, who enter the market with expensive cars and full wallets.
22:49urge.
22:54Not far from the Lommatsch red-light district is Klacks, Wolle Förster's nightclub.
23:01He quickly recognizes a small side business opportunity and decides to supply the street prostitutes with his catering service.
23:10When the caravans positioned themselves directly behind us on Lommatscher Straße, and under what conditions they were located there
23:18have held their business
23:20That was good for us too. We cooked spaghetti with tomato sauce here back then, and other things we liked.
23:28who made it through the caravans.
23:30Because the people were hungry, so we provided for them there.
23:34Proximity to the environment doesn't only bring advantages for Wolle Förster.
23:39Because many of the pimps come to his nightclub after their shift.
23:43Even those who cause unrest.
23:47There were times, spread over several years, that people from the Dresden scene...
23:54wanted to take over
23:55and that the Yugoslavs were so presumptuous. They now have to show the people of Dresden how things are done.
24:02And then there was a shootout between Yugoslavs and Algerians.
24:07I knew them both. I wanted to warn one of them that the others were sitting here, maliciously spouting off.
24:15But I never managed to reach him, and that's how this shooting happened.
24:20Ultimately, nothing happened during the shooting, but one Yugoslavian did end up with a knife in his back.
24:25And therefore had to undergo emergency surgery.
24:28When the police in Dresden begin to more closely monitor street prostitution, the pimps strike back.
24:36In May 1993, a bomb attack was carried out on a police station in Dresden.
24:43At two o'clock in the morning, unknown individuals threw a bomb between two police cars.
24:49It quickly became clear who had taken over and controlled Stauffenbergallee.
24:54And that was the one who resisted the police the most.
24:58Who then also fired the hand grenade.
25:01So it was clear that if someone in a police car fires a hand grenade, then I don't need to bother with him.
25:07on Stauffenbergallee, pimps fighting for space.
25:10So then I'll leave the territory to him, because I know his pain threshold is very low.
25:18The Saxon police are establishing a special task force to deal with the criminal environment of prostitution.
25:25Then the state power in Saxony strikes.
25:29In a large-scale operation in the spring of 1993, the Roscherstraße red-light district in Leipzig was also cleared.
25:36Processes follow.
25:39Under tight security, the trial against three leading pimp bosses of the trade fair city began today at the Leipzig Regional Court.
25:48The men, aged 32 to 44, are alleged to have acted brutally against rival pimps as members of the so-called Council of Twelve.
25:57They must have proceeded as follows.
25:58The defendants are charged with attempted murder in four cases, illegal possession of weapons, joint promotion of commercial prostitution, grievous bodily harm and other violent crimes.
26:10accused.
26:11The reading of the indictment alone took over an hour today.
26:16After street prostitution was shut down, the first Eros Center opened in Leipzig in 1994.
26:24A brothel, privately run and supported by the municipality.
26:29An attempt to get a handle on uncontrolled prostitution. No entry for pimps.
26:38What's new in our little buffet?
26:40Everything is fine, two new arrivals.
26:46The brothel is run on behalf of the owners from Frankfurt am Main by Ilona Jellet.
26:51Officially employed as a secretary, she is something like the mother figure of the company.
27:02A brothel that feels almost like a family home.
27:08Well, my Sleeping Beauty, how are you?
27:10Hello, yes, it's possible, but not very good.
27:12Not so good?
27:13No.
27:13Come on, then you'll get a beer, you little pacifier.
27:16And tomorrow the world will look completely different.
27:18I'm still hoping for tonight, aren't I?
27:20Mhm.
27:21Thank you.
27:22Buck, buck, buck.
27:25Desire.
27:26Then you drink wine or coffee together, and to have good luck, you look at each other.
27:32the eyes and then bumps into each other and goes "Bock, Bock, Bock".
27:35And that's supposed to bring good luck, that you make good business deals. And of course I wish that for everyone, that goes without saying.
27:42Because the existence of the 23 employees is somehow dependent on the rental income.
27:48Prostitutes also want to make good money. The path into prostitution is often linked to money.
27:56Yes, I was experiencing financial difficulties at home and thought, well, somehow things have to move forward.
28:01Because of my child, I cannot work in a regular weekly role or shift work.
28:04And I called here, introduced myself, moved in two or three days later, and pay my rent, 200 marks a day.
28:12We live very well, we are doing well, we can afford a lot.
28:15The children don't need anything. And therefore, for the children's sake, I'm actually doing it too.
28:22For a daily rent of around 200 DM, cleaning ladies and security personnel are available to the prostitutes.
28:29There is a staff canteen on the first floor.
28:36Cameras monitor the corridors of the brothel. Each room also has an alarm button.
28:42And anyone who has concerns can always turn to the boss, the madam.
28:48I don't like hearing that term "brothel madam" because a brothel madam's job is actually something else.
28:53I'm actually a secretary, and the other thing is just something I've taken on as well.
28:57And by "brothel madam" I mean that the madam distributes the ladies or receives a fee for doing so.
29:07Well, I don't do that in that respect.
29:10I do my office work and other organizational things, but I don't really have anything to do with the clients.
29:18Beyond the streets and brothels, many prostitutes in Leipzig work in shared apartments.
29:24This variant is even increasing after the dismantling of street prostitution.
29:30The girls work together in an apartment.
29:33They offer their services and attract customers through advertisements in newspapers.
29:37The business model works.
29:39Such apartment brothels are anonymous and intimate at the same time.
29:47The pimp is there too.
29:49The clients can expect a well-established ritual.
29:53We'll let him in, we can have a drink.
29:58Then we chat, and then we talk about business and so on.
30:02Then they can choose a girl and then he goes into the room.
30:08Prostitution has always been a part of the trade fair city.
30:10In secret during the GDR era, now legal in brothels and apartments after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
30:18Prostitution is a service offering.
30:21Sex for money is part of a market economy.
30:24This can be regulated by law to a certain extent.
30:27But I think that bans don't abolish prostitution; it still exists.
30:32And I think that it is therefore important for both sex workers, male and female, and for the clients,
30:42that as little illegal activity as possible occurs and nothing is criminalized.
30:50In the early 1990s, Kathi Paul also worked as a prostitute in apartments in Chemnitz.
30:57Today, she works in a church-run organization there, supporting prostitutes who want to leave the sex industry.
31:03At the lighthouse, sex workers can find a contact person in Kathi.
31:08A woman who knows what she's talking about.
31:12I have met women in the industry who did it out of financial necessity.
31:18That is actually the main, decisive reason why anyone would sell their body for money.
31:26This isn't love for sale; you're just selling your body.
31:29so that the customer can enjoy it, so to speak.
31:35And we haven't had that kind of drug addiction among prostitutes, for example.
31:42But there have been women who were addicted to pills or alcohol.
31:49I met a woman again after five or six years.
31:54She didn't even recognize me anymore.
31:56She was completely in her own world.
32:02Leaving the sex industry is difficult.
32:04Kathi Paul knows that too.
32:06She achieved it through faith in God.
32:09Some call her the Angel of Whores.
32:12She does what she can.
32:15I think it's more likely that it's the emotional support that women need.
32:22Because if you've been in there for years, it's like a vicious cycle.
32:26When you go out there, even though it hasn't been the case for a long time that you can get there very quickly and very
32:31made a lot of money.
32:32So a middle-class job is the same in terms of financial level.
32:36And many people cling to this idea and think it's the only thing they can do.
32:42More and more young women, including those from the East, are experiencing how easy it can be to enter prostitution.
32:48And how difficult it is to find your way out again.
32:51This also applies to the porn industry.
32:54But there are exceptions.
32:57Dolly Buster in the red sports car manages a smooth transition.
33:01She's coming! Shit! And nothing's ready!
33:05Even after her career as a porn star, she is still a star.
33:10In 1997, she was cast as a special guest in a supporting role in a crime drama series Polizeiruf 110.
33:17Dolly Buster as Dolly Buster.
33:21Turn high! Turn high!
33:25Welcome to the Wustermarkt!
33:28The television producers are banking on Dolly's bust size and the associated PR effect.
33:34This is traffic police officer Krause.
33:38Footage from the filming of the crime drama.
33:40The Miracle of Wustermark.
33:42The film's plot revolves around irregularities during the opening of a video store.
33:49Excitement on set.
33:50Even the experienced acting colleagues seem impressed.
33:55There she is! Turn around, boys! Turn around! She's coming!
34:08My own transmitter tells me where you are.
34:10Everything here with me is ridiculous.
34:12Dolly is somewhere else, boys.
34:14Oh, you never need to hide here.
34:16Exactly!
34:18Small role, big turnout at the filming location, a small Brandenburg village.
34:24A touch of glamour and scandal in the East German provinces.
34:31She too had to reinvent herself after her porn career.
34:36Establishing oneself as a painter is difficult.
34:39She'll try anyway.
34:46Dolly Buster has lived in western Germany since 1983.
34:50Mentally, however, she always remained rooted in the East.
34:55I am quite convinced that the West does not necessarily guarantee freedom,
35:01but above all, it also brought in the brotherhood, but also the hypocritical conservatives.
35:07I often view conservatism as hypocritical, because to me it's not genuine.
35:17It doesn't seem genuine to me, but strangely enough, it's quite popular.
35:21Or one might prefer to hide behind it.
35:24And so instead of making the West freer through the East,
35:29Have we now actually made the East somewhat more conservative from the perspective of the West?
35:37Unpleasant. What a shame.
35:40Eroticism also influences her work as a painter.
35:44However, their core business remains their Dolly Buster brand.
35:48which primarily stands for eroticism.
35:53In the field of erotica, many things have developed negatively,
35:59This is because, unfortunately, we no longer have any protection for minors on the internet.
36:07and because of that, for example, if the owners of the Dolly Buster store chains,
36:17If they let people under 18 in, they would be arrested.
36:23Lead them away in handcuffs and lock them up.
36:25But of course, any twelve-year-old child can easily google pornography on the internet.
36:33And that includes things that are truly forbidden.
36:38The internet age is putting the porn and sex industry under pressure.
36:43More and more shop owners are complaining about declining sales,
36:46Many sex shops and video stores have to close down.
36:50The Wischgol family from Dessau is also having problems with their sex shop.
36:54However, not with customers and sales.
36:57In the course of the restitution of commercial properties and land, it came about that
37:03that our property, formerly managed by the municipality, is returned to the original owner,
37:09a woman from the old federal states was returned.
37:12And she informed us during our renovation,
37:17that she wanted to terminate our lease, but it wasn't that simple.
37:23A sale does not break a lease.
37:25And she then had to admit, with a heavy heart, that we were right.
37:29We paid our rent properly.
37:31But the Wischgols have completely different plans.
37:34They only want to earn the start-up capital for their real dream with the sex shop.
37:39A gym.
37:42When we sold the shop in 1995, because we had raised the equity capital for our gym project,
37:52We were very satisfied with it.
37:54And looking back, we can say that we have never regretted it.
38:01They were pioneers of eroticism in Dessau.
38:05The fitness club has since been sold again.
38:08Sibylle and Frank Wischgol now earn their money mainly as entertainers.
38:13As the show group Al-Madina, they perform at medieval spectacles, Halloween celebrations or children's festivals.
38:20You as a fortune teller?
38:22Both as farriers, snake charmers and fire eaters.
38:29Helmut Pöschel, too, had to pay tribute to the rapid developments of the turbulent years of change.
38:35When his erotic films are no longer in demand, he discovers other ways to earn money.
38:42He now produces Würchwitz mite cheese according to an ancient recipe.
38:48The hard cheese is in demand throughout Germany.
38:52These mites, that's my new passion besides filmmaking.
38:59And I couldn't resist watching these mites during their mating ritual.
39:06They are very industrious, and every 14 days a female mite lays 40 eggs.
39:14So, an unlikely birth rate.
39:18We can take a leaf out of their book.
39:20And since the Middle Ages, this cheese has been valued as the best aphrodisiac.
39:26And of course, nobody knows that.
39:29He never stopped making films.
39:32Now he is filming female mites.
39:35And again, erotic short stories from his surroundings.
39:43The film "Haarscharf" is supposedly based on a true story.
39:47The filming took place in a friend's hair salon.
39:52Hello.
39:53Hello.
39:55What can I do for you?
39:57Then my hair would be beautiful.
39:58And what should it be like?
40:00Well, not like the one who just got out.
40:03Please.
40:04Suddenly, there was renewed interest in this short, lighthearted, erotic film.
40:11And of course I was delighted.
40:13These films are very short, about three, four to five minutes.
40:16And they go very well with a conversation, lighthearted entertainment.
40:22And above all, peppered with satire and humor.
40:26And things can definitely get erotic there.
40:29And hearty laughter can happen in a group.
40:34Because often, hardcore pornography is something more for individualists in their own little rooms.
40:42And then I can't do it very well.
40:43And then I can't do it very well.
40:47And then I can't do it very well.
40:48But I'm not very good at that.
40:48Pig, very!
40:54We're sorry.
40:57Am I finished yet?
41:02Meanwhile, there is once again an audience for his old East German erotic films.
41:10And so we get booked again from time to time.
41:13And people want to see such beautiful little things again, even in the context of today.
41:20So we're not just pulling out old films, although those are included too, of course.
41:24For Wolle Förster, too, the era of big business with the nightclub is over.
41:30But it has endured all these years. The Klacks remains an institution to this day.
41:39Big deals were made after 1990.
41:43Now is the time to work consistently with good, consistent work,
41:49It can continue to make money with consistent quality and sound business practices.
41:55even though everything is getting more and more difficult.
42:00Klacks is run differently, perhaps in a more family-oriented way, than a table dance bar in Hamburg or Munich.
42:07Otherwise, there are hardly any differences between West and East.
42:13The sex industry has also established itself in the East.
42:16The question remains how the second German sex wave affected the love lives of former GDR citizens.
42:24Young people today still have a very romantic ideal of love and fidelity.
42:35And just as many people want to get married and have children as in 1990.
42:41Nothing has changed in the settings or preferences.
42:44But what has changed dramatically is the implementation of these wishes.
42:49That is, the so-called age for first childbirth and the age for first marriage.
42:53In just a few years, historically speaking, this has shifted upwards by an average of seven years since 1990.
43:00So from the early 20s to around 30.
43:03In the west, it has also shifted upwards, by about four years.
43:05So it turns out that ideal desires and attitudes towards partnership still exist, but reality is what it is.
43:14heavier.
43:18The business of sex, erotica, and pornography continues.
43:24The Wild West in the East is over.
43:39Wild West in the East,
44:05Subtitles by ZDF, 2020
