Sometimes there are very important people.
Teenagers of the “Ruhr Area“ are very
open-minded and like to have fun like
other teenagers around the world.
Furthermore, they spend their free time in
front of a PC (chat, facebook etc…)
and doing a bit of sport. There are
some teenagers who do a part-time job.
At the weekend they
go shopping, go to bars and like to
have barbecue. Family, friends and
good food play a big role in the teenager’s
life. Teenagers in North-Rhine-Westphalia
have dreams, their own needs and wishes
which do not often comply with their
Parent’s ideas. As anywhere else,
teenagers here spend a lot of time
“hanging out” with friends. This, of course,
leads to problems in school or at home.
They often feel misunderstood and they
get the impression that the society does
not care about them. This may, at times,
lead to juvenile delinquency or drug abuse
which are also problems in our region.
For the teenager in Crotone the family is
an important institution there. The young
people live with their parents until they get
married. Moreover, there is a higher level of
education than in the past. In Crotone there is
a low standard of living. The old traditions
and customs are kept. A lot of teenagers
like break-dance. Most of the teenagers
like to swim and drink. The boys like to
play music. Some teenagers like
motocross. The girls like to go shopping
and the boys like football. They meet each
other at the municipal place of the
city, and they also like walking all night
long on the long beach. Girls who are not
in school, are attending courses for
beauticians.
Curry sausage
The curried sausage is a fried sausage
which is usually cut and served with a
sauce based on ketchup or tomato puree
and curry powder. The usual
side dishes are bread rolls or French
Fries. Curry sausage is made from a fried
sausage of the Ruhr Area district and its
meat is not salted and smoked.
The sausage is cut with a machine with
several blades.
Pasta
The pasta is a dish not only typical of
Calabria, but also of Italy in general. It
is a dish made from semolina or flour
of different origin, and is usually
served with different types of sauce
or gravy.
There are several types of pasta, e.g.
the dry and the egg. This is
made with water and dried durum
Wheat and the egg is produced with
semolina and whole eggs instead of
chicken.

Crotone At the beginning of the 20th century only
small families ran businesses involved in producing handmade goods or processing agricultural products.
Mills and pasta factories were the most important as they manufactured large amounts of grain grown in the area. They were also specialized in the production of fertilizers.
Then, Calabria changed from an agricultural to an industrial area. The infrastructure was improved, e.g. by a railway line and a harbour. From 1950-1970 the factories increased their production and a couple of years later the area showed a significant economic growth. Crotone became an important industrial centre.
Ruhr Area
The Ruhr Area was an industrial area known for its coal mines. During the time of the Romans, coal was already extracted in the area around Aachen. It is assumed that it happened at the same time in the Ruhr Area.
By 1850, there were almost 300 coal mines in operation in the main cities Duisburg, Essen, Bochum and Dortmund. They were producing iron and steel. In this period the name “Ruhrgebiet” (Ruhr Area) became famous.
Later in the 17th and 18th century the steam engine was invented and improved so they had large pits with engine power instead of small coal mines.
In 1925 coal mines started to be closed due to a shortage of coal and in 2008 there were only 4 mines in operation.
Crotone:
The area is known for its wine which is produced in Cirò. Over 90% of the region‘s production is red wine and only a limited quantity of white wine.
For economic reasons many modern vineyards have abandoned the traditional process and turned instead to the vine training system.
Dortmund:
In 1266 beer was mentioned for the first time. The so-called “Grutbier“ was produced, a mixture of spices.
In 1332 the beer monopoly of Louis IV guaranteed income and wealth. A century later the spice mixture was replaced by hop. During thirty years of war, people changed their drinking habits and therefore the brewing in Dortmund demised.
In the middle of the 19th century the breweries became successful again. The well-known ones are the DAB (Dortmunder Actien-Brauerei) and the Hövels Hausbrauerei.
