TV-Reportage „Auf der Spur der Steine“: Constantin Wild zeigt sein Idar-Oberstein.

Jetzt in der ARD Mediathek (stream) 

SWR-Reporter Jens Hübschen entführt Sie in die farbige Edelsteinwelt von Idar-Oberstein, im felsigen Naheland. Was das mit Überraschungseiern und Mandeln zu tun hat, erfahren Sie in der Dokumentation.

Ich sage es ja schon immer: Idar-Oberstein ist eine der schönsten Orte in Deutschland. Dies gilt besonders für Edelsteinfans. Schließlich ist meine Heimat die Wiege der Edelsteinindustrie. Auf eine spannende Spurensuche begab sich kürzlich auch ein Team des deutschen Fernsehsenders SWR. Die Faszination begann vor Jahrhunderten und hält an. Damals wurden die ersten Achate in Felsen aus Vulkangestein gefunden. Rasch siedelten sich die besten Edelsteinschleifer und Goldschmiede an. Und auch heute noch begeistert der Mythos der Edelsteine. Doch wie ist das möglich? In der Dokumentation öffne ich die Türen meiner Schatzkammer und plaudere ein wenig über meine faszinierende Welt der Edelsteine – und mein geliebtes Idar-Oberstein.

Einschalten lohnt sich. Am 5. November 2019 um 15.15 Uhr auf SWR oder schauen Sie auf ihrem Computer oder Tablet-PC als stream in der ARD Mdiathek


TV documentary “Retracing the history of the stones”: Constantin Wild shows his Idar-Oberstein.

5. November 2019 at 15.15h on SWR Television and for the next year at the ARD Mediathek (stream) 

SWR-Reporter Jens Hübschen carries you away to the colourful gemstone world of Idar-Oberstein in the rocky Nahe region. In the documentary you will also find out what role an „egg surprise“ and almonds play in it all.

I have said it time and time again: Idar-Oberstein is one of the most beautiful places in Germany. And gemstone fans are particularly likely to agree with that. After all, my home town was the cradle of the gemstone industry. A team from the German TV station SWR recently set out to retrace the exciting history. For what began centuries ago is more fascinating than ever: In those days the first agates were found in volcanic rock. After a short time the very best gemstone cutters and goldsmiths settled. And today we are still thrilled by the myth of the gemstones. But how is that even possible? In the documentary, I open the doors of my treasure chamber and chat a little about my fascinating world of gemstones – and my beloved Idar-Oberstein.

Stream it to your Computer or Tablet.
