R(h)ein geschaut! Facetten des Lebens am Hochrhein

It is about fishing, work and food, fashion in the spa town, the fashion label 'Rhein Design', urban development on a major traffic artery, life by the river (as a national border), the hydroelectric power station which was already producing sustainable energy more than 100 years ago and which today supplies the trinational region with electricity.
