333 Forbidden Things (e-book)

by Jakob Ernst

Kids on the rear seat headrest. A beer behind the wheel. Smoking on an airplane. Slingshots as children’s toys. Swimming naked in school swimming class. Hard to believe—but all of that used to be considered normal.

"333 Banned Things That Used to Be Allowed"is an entertaining and astonishing journey through time, exploring the Federal Republic of Germany and its ever-changing rules, values, and customs.

Jakob Ernst writes on this topic:“What looking back teaches me is this: Every rule is relative. It may last for decades and yet remain a product of its time—created for a specific period, subject to change, and sometimes even revocable. What sounds completely obvious today may be viewed by people fifty years from now with the same incredulous shake of the head with which we look today at the unsecured child on the rear seat.”
