Episode 1
The North Sea from Papenburg to Bremerhafen at Germany's East Frisian North Sea coast, stretching further into the Netherlands, sea-related professions include shipbuilding and tourist industry, also related to aquatic sports. People on the tiny Island would be pretty isolated without modern airplane services.
Episode 2
Germany's North Frisian North Sea islands are even tinier and more isolated, doomed to be flooded sooner or later, as happened to many before. Few people remain or come seek her total tranquility. The church however, with the world's only cemetery on a ditch, attracts members of the Old Catholic rite from all over northern Germany.
Episode 3
The eastern part of Germany's North Frisian North Sea islands, near Denmark, are equally flood-exposed but very diverse. One has Germany's most expensive, exclusive beach real estate. Another thrives on tourism and traditional wicker craft.
Episode 4
At the eastern side of Denmark lies Germany's constitutive state Schleswig Holstein, longer a Danish duchy then German, where the true Baltic coast starts, bordering the East Sea. It's glacier-made Viking country, pristine enough for the wild Kinik horses. Angel Island shares its name with the Angli tribe, after which England was named in the age of daring merchant and plunder voyages, when Haibuc was long Scandinavia's largest city. Flensburg became the center of Eurpean rum, but only one blender is left.
Episode 5
Finally, the eastern-most part of Germany's Baltic coast, stretching to Poland, along the former GDR. Here, an abandoned megalomaniac Nazi sea resort project, abandoned due to the war, is matched by the uglier east German communist party's playground.
