In the summer to St. Petersburg

The road movie moves along the historical "Ostbahn", which for many decades has been the epitome of the fast railway connection between the German capital and Königsberg, with a direct connection to St. Petersburg. Today there are no more railroads, the Robur with driver Reinhard Rogge takes the team through Poland, the Russian exclave of the "Kaliningrad region", through the Baltic States and finally through Russia to St. Petersburg. Whether by stagecoach, the legendary “Nord-Express”, or by car for centuries, the city has been a place of longing for Western Europeans. (Text: rbb)
