Paul Lieberenz

The film shows the work and life on the German banana plantations in Cameroon and the shipment of bananas to Hamburg by German banana steamers

In 1927/8, the cameraman Paul Lieberenz accompanied the Swedish researcher Sven Hedin on an expedition through Inner Asia from Beijing to Urumqi. Lufthansa was planning to launch a direct flight from Berlin to Beijing; meteorological observations had to be made, weather stations had to be built and the land had to be investigated for places that would make appropriate airfields. But the film is less focused on the research carried out by the 27 academics in total than on the caravans, made up of no fewer than 300 camels and numerous helpers, as they make their way with "Faustian drive" (Siegfried Kracauer), through rocky and sandy deserts.

The women’s colonial school on the Kiel Canal offers a diverse range of practical training, including typewriting, bookkeeping, gardening, farm work, and handicrafts. Students engage in workshops for metal and woodwork, welding, masonry, and upholstery. They also participate in horse riding and shooting training. In Reel 02, students perform household tasks like cooking, laundry, and cheese-making. The “Windhuk” house provides training for tropical farming, emphasizing self-management and financial skills. Additional training includes first aid, disease recognition, and water treatment. The reel concludes with students waving to sailors from a German warship entering the canal.
