    Dit meesterwerk was de aanleiding voor deze lijst. Stond er al in, maar onder de engelse titel Homeland: a German Chronicle. Speciaal voor u nog eens das schöne stück Bach op de xylo... nee de marimbaphone! Edgar Reitz, ondertussen al 80, is intussen druk bezig met een vierde deel: 'Die andere Heimat'.
