About Edgar Reitz
Edgar Reitz chronicles Hunsruck village life across decades. Heimat follows the Simon family from 1919 to 1982 in eleven parts in 1984. Heimat 2 follows Hermann composing in Munich in 1992.
Watching in order shows Reitz moving from home fields to city studios while keeping the same bell sounds. The tales share family names rather than plots, so order reveals time passing. Both stream with subtitles via restorations. Viewers who stay patient notice work songs, radio news and harvest meals returning in new forms, which makes the Munich music chapters feel like earned distance from home.
Good to know
Watch Heimat then Heimat 2. The two tales are sequential generations, so reordering would spoil who leaves home. Starting with Heimat first teaches village rhythms before the later city sprawl. Later Home from Home works can be explored after these essentials. Plan long evenings, since each part builds on faces and houses met many hours earlier.
