ZDF Doc Explores Emotional Impact of Kiosk Evolution
The 'Ballerbude' kiosk in Oer-Erkenschwick has been a beloved local gathering spot since 1980. Meanwhile, in Berlin, the number of Spätis, or small kiosks, has halved in the last decade, with around 1000 remaining. Tonight, a documentary on ZDF explores the emotional impact of these changes on the community's emotions.
Naciye has been running the 'Ballerbude' kiosk since 2012, offering a wide range of products and a listening ear to customers, fostering a sense of emotional connection. Serdar, on the other hand, took over the Späti at Viktoriapark in Berlin-Kreuzberg three months ago. He's focusing on a younger customer base and providing additional services like package acceptance, catering to the emotional needs of his patrons.
Small kiosks, known as 'Späti' or 'Trinkhalle', are popular meeting points in Germany. However, with rising prices, they're taking on the role of traditional and more expensive pubs, evoking a range of emotions among customers. The documentary 'The Kiosk', airing today at 22:15 on ZDF, delves into the emotional aspect of these changes, exploring the emotional impact on both customers and owners.
