In 1974, two fishermen were still using their Schokkers to catch eels. The Schokker is a fishing vessel without its own motor drive, which is maneuvered using a system of wires. The fishing equipment consists of a trap and an anchor culvert. The film shows the work rhythm of the Schokker fisherman Simon Wirtz: maneuvering into the fishing position, using and cleaning the fishing equipment Digitized by Digital Heritage ▬ Order on DVD ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ This film documentation is also available on DVD (signature H 24).

We are now the only scientists in Germany to use the medium of film specifically for research and presentation. The approximately 260 film productions created in recent decades are irreplaceable documents of lost knowledge from agriculture, crafts, industrial work and the diverse regional customs. Today we use the medium of film primarily to document current processes of change and to accompany people in the Rhineland in their lives. In doing so, we create films about intercultural phenomena and problems, about changes in the world of work, about new forms of social coexistence and about dealing with rituals, customs and traditions. All film documentaries from the LVR Institute for Regional Studies and Regional History are also available on DVD. You can find the complete film catalogue on our homepage under Everyday Culture - Films. ► https://rheinische-landeskunde.lvr.de
